Signage to be determined later and return to Design Review. <br /> Joe Callahan second. All approved as presented. <br /> 9:00 am Business Name: Industria Development Group, Inc. <br /> Project Address: 413 Nathan Ellis Highway <br /> Agent: Kevin Kirrane, Esquire <br /> Engineer: Atlantic Design Engineers, Inc. <br /> Request: Signage—Applicant is proposing to construct a <br /> 9,993 sq. ft. commercial building for retail use with accessory <br /> parking. <br /> Attorney Kevin Kirrane represented the applicant for the proposed project <br /> that is under agreement. This site was formerly occupied by Cherrystones <br /> Restaurant back in 1980's, and the lot has been vacant since 2007. The site <br /> is a 51,000 sq. ft. lot and the building sized proposed is 9,975 sq. ft. Also <br /> present was Douglas Gruner, Building Design, Christopher King, Sr. Project <br /> Manager, and John Patrick Scanlon, Developer. <br /> The site boarders two streets, and a street located on the land court plan <br /> that runs through the site, and will never be built. The site was created in <br /> the 1980's well before zoning restrictions that are in place today. The <br /> proposed building will be compatible to other commercial buildings along <br /> Rte. 151. This is a commercial zone (C-2 Zoning District), and the proposed <br /> use is a one tenant retail use to be a Dollar Tree store. The building will <br /> largely be an open retail space with storage and a bathroom for employee <br /> use. There will be street access off Rte. 151, and Ninigret Ave. The building <br /> is one story and conforms to current height requirements relative to design <br /> in this zoning district. <br /> Joe Cummings asked about the parking requirements as listed in the bylaw <br /> Section 174-37, because there's no parking allowed in the front of the <br /> building: <br /> Attorney Kirrane said that the application includes a request for Variance <br /> relief from the ZBA. If there is parking in the rear of the building, you cannot <br /> meet the 75 ft. frontage from Rte. 151 so that is the reason for the proposed <br /> parking in the front. There's a similar situation with the Dino's establishment <br /> because most of those properties were developed prior to that regulation. <br /> 3 <br />
