There is a curb cut off Route 130 and Ashumet load, with overflow parking into the right of way at Ashumet - oad, with another curb cut off of Main Street . The proposal is to utilize what is already there, and to beautify t-he area by way of landscaping. The front building is being proposed for retail use, a specialty shop. The two buildings along Ashumet road are being proposed for general office use. These two buildings however are in relatively poor condition, and the intent is to demolish and rebuild. The Town Planner explained that because these are pre- existing nonconforming buildings that do not meet setback requirements, a Finding from the Zoning Board of Appeals is necessary in order demolish and rebuild within the same footprint. said Finding, if obtained, will determine that the proposed alteration of the buildings will be no more detrimental to the neighborhood that what currently exists on the property. The special Perot process will be conducted by the Planning Board. The Town Planner suggested the property owner appear before the Planning Board at this point in order to ascertain whether or not the Board would be inclined to support the granting of a Special Permit . 6
