Members sitting: E. Govoni, K. Marsters, R. Nelson. Attorney Kevin Kirrane and Constantino Mitrokostas of John's Pond Realty represented the applicant. Mr. Govoni stated this went through Design Review for the placement of signs and maintenance of the buffer zone on the rear of the property which is residential. The plan will be modified to show an undisturbed buffer. Mr. Govoni suggested adding a sign "Keep Left" next to the "Enter" sign. They increased the opening to 44 feet from 30 feet, allowing three lanes of traffic. Mr. Govoni would like to keep the parking spaces parallel and limit stacking so the driveway area remains open. Mr. Mitrokostas suggested putting a sign "Do Not Block Driveway." Mr. Kirrane asked if the Board would want to make a determination on the number of parking spaces based on a conversation he had with Mr. Taylor (DPW) who wanted to see a limitation. Mr. Nelson expressed concern about the approach to the stacking lane and the hazard of on -coming vehicles crossing paths. Mr. Mitrokostas stated . that traffic could be diverted behind the building if it became a problem. Mr. Govoni stated that this is why Mr. Taylor suggested having three lanes, and why he would recommend putting a condition on this for one year. Mr. Nelson noted that primarily those using the complex will most likely be the ones to have complaints, and they will have to be resolved by the complex. Mr. Mitrokostas pointed out that 80% of the business is done between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Mr. Govoni moved to grant the Modification of the Special Permit with the following conditions: (1) To abide by the request of the Design Review Committee and submit a plan showing where the undisturbed areas would be to the rear of the building per their request; (2) A marker be put at the indicated spot parallel to the parking on the side of the building to show the point where no standing beyond this point is allowed so as to limit stacking of vehicles in the drive; (3) The drive entrance be open 30 to 44' feet; and (4) At the end of one year as of this date (or before if applicant desires), to review any problems that might occur and/or modification(s) that need to be made.
