The building is a smaller footprint within the previous building that was approved, and would not require a major modification consideration and public hearing by the Board.

Kevin said if the Phase 2 portion of the building is added, they would return to the Board of Health. Scott said he doesn't see any issues for the smaller building. Kevin said that the subsurface drainage was reduced due to the fact that the increase peculation of the gravel parking lot to the rear. Kevin explained the construction material and the insulation in detail. Jonathan reviewed the approved previous decision and read the details regarding the fencing. Kevin said that the fencing will remain the same, and as far as the neighbors are concerned there's a self -storage warehouse adjacent to this property, and other commercial and industrial uses adjacent to this property. This is not on Rte. 130, and most of the residential neighbors are across the street, and there are no issues. Kevin said that the actual operation of the facility is not changing. There will be no rear gate to the dog run; the dogs will only exit through the building. There is removal of the overhead doors, and removal of the windows that will serve as an abatement to any noise that could travel beyond the building. The building is 600 sq. ft. smaller for Phase 1, and 1,200 sq. ft. for Phase 2 versus 2,000 sq. ft. and is 800 sq. ft. smaller for Phase 2.
