Precision Pool's Inc/Creative Concepts (Continued) Tom Fudala noted that parking area must be paved, cannot be gravel. • Mr. Eddy said he met with the Fire Department. • Sheldon Hamblin asked if there is fire separation between the units. Mr. Eddy responded "no". Sheldon then pointed out that if office combined with garage,then you must have fire separation. • Gates...Sheldon asked if these have Knots locks. Although not required it is something Fire Department strongly suggests. • They have 2 enclosed refuse dumpsters. Catherine Laurent questioned whether or not they have a cardboard dumpster as well? Mr. Eddy said if required they will have one. • Utilities are already underground to be brought into this site. • Septic—Total 480 gallons/day flow. • Storm water management. • Each bay will have outside fenced area for storage. According to Mr. Eddy, zone does allow outside storage. • Question raised: Are restrictions in place so that junk doesn't get dumped in outside storage area? Response: they will have covenants to cover this. • Drainage between paved/gravel areas is graded so it will drain toward storm water retention area. • Roof drainage goes through storm water system. • Glen Harrington also pointed out that Board of Health has other requirements, such as no repairing vehicles; any change in use has to be reviewed for approval; any change in ownership has to be reviewed for use as well. • Buffers...Tom Fudala pointed out that they do not have an adequate buffer to residents behind their site. Mr. Eddy said there is over 50 feet of space between the properties,but Tom said that is Conservation land, not your land. Tom also pointed out that they cannot have fences within 3 feet of parking area and that parking can't be within 3 feet of building. They will look into this. Tom noted that it is up to ZBA to determine what buffer size should be. Question from the audience: Robert Wooldridge asked: What about handicap parking for employees? Matthew Eddy responded this is not required,but they would make it work if required. Walter suggested they may want to consider putting a door at the back of the buildings. Matthew Eddy said they are going to consider doing an overhead door. Conclusion: Plan not marked to indicate what/where materials would be stored. Any combustible/fire storage? Need to lay out parking lot lanes, including fire lanes. Draw all elevations on plan. Also indicate size of outdoor storage areas. To return to Design Review/Plan Review Meeting with revised Plan.
