1 I -2- Design Review, February 4, 2004 Main parking area against Route 28 entrance is very close to Route 28 and dangerous. The corner must be kept open for visibility. Need site lines. Three parking spaces closest to entrance off route 28 will be dangerous. Maybe make those handicap spaces because they are not used as much. The committee feels that the extra building is making the site too tight and the one-way exit will be a disaster. The separate building is an issue in that True Value customers will park in their spaces. A side yard variance is required from Shellback for the independent building, which may not get through the Board of Appeals because of a need to show a hardship. The committee suggests that they lose the independent building and be sure the site lines are good in and out of Route 28. The bank is lower than Route 28 and upper road at True Value, which makes it hard to exit project going up hill. The committee suggests that they flip the site plan so the new building moves south and integrates with Deer Crossing and move the bank addition.to North side so the entire corner is bank. They are to return with a new site plan. The sign will require a variance from the Board of Appeals. This Committee approves the signage but issue with the back lit portion. 129 Industrial Drive Mike Carney for Kim and Fran Silva The original plan for Gary Tavares was 100 by 40,the new plans with Cape Cod Builders is 180 x 55. Our by-law states that land abutting residential must have a 50-foot natural buffer. Jack Landers Cauley, Engineer needs to read the by-laws and resubmit plan. At this time does not conform. From grading point of view the building is at elevation 42, Great Hay Road behind is at elevation 31. The committee wants to see a cross section from Great Hay Road. The building appears high relative to residential area.
