Design Review Committee -2 February 23, 2000 A 200 ft. set back between openings is necessary. The driveway will have to be re- worked. Consideration should be given to traffic taking a left into the property. It was noted this is an industrial building in the C-2 Zone with outside storage. A variance will be required for parking. It was suggested a smaller building, used partially for retail, would be a better plan. The pavement area should be re-defined on the plan. It was suggested the septic system is too close to the property line. Lilacs will be planted in front and the larger caliper trees will be retained in the rear, where a good buffer is needed. A natural buffer should remain in front of the fence. Drainage can be re-vegetated. A larger landscaping plan should be submitted showing strong buffers, shade trees throughout and specific species. Security lighting and dumpster location will be shown on a future plan. The Technical Review Committee should be consulted. 3. Route 28 and Simon's Road — Ronald J. Mycock Mr. Mycock displayed plans for the two buildings to be located next to Augat. Topography and architectural plans were displayed. The doors in the rear need to be defined. Grades need to be shown for ramps, walkways, entrances and exits. All entrances have to be handicap accessible. Ramps and handrails need to be shown. A minimum of 4 ft. is required between the building and parking. All sidewalks should be shown. ,The building plan does not conform to the site plan. Some of the rear doors could be eliminated. The roof line should be reconsidered. A landscaping plan should show what is being retained. About 12 trees will be flagged and maintained. Shade trees should be put in. In summary: • . Building — Make sure doors are shown. Show what you are going to build: ramps or stairs. Basic building is okay. • Site Plan — Provide handicap access from parking lot to the sidewalk. • Locate dumpster on plan and show fence around it. • Site engineering plan — It's a commercial building, locate all sidewalks. Put that on the landscaping plan too. • An engineering plan and landscaping plan will be required. 0 A variance will be needed because this is in the recharge zone.
