Matt Smith from Bohler was at the last Design Review Team (DRT) meeting <br />when the site plan was reviewed by Town staff. Some changes to the presented <br />site plan reflect comments from the DRT. <br />Currently autos are not serviced in the existing bays, but one bay is used for <br />inspection stickers. There is some mature vegetation on the site, however, there <br />is none in front. The site has been cleaned up a little to make it more presentable. <br />The Applicant is taking the previously proposed drive-thru off the table right <br />now. They have limited resources right now and increased profitability is <br />needed from the convenience store to make the operation competitive with <br />similar stores. <br />The convenience store will sell prepackaged items. They will be renovating the <br />existing footprint already on site and will be maintaining the current curb cuts. <br />The Applicant is looking to improve the trash enclosure on the north side of the <br />site. <br />As a result of the DRT comments, one of the major site plan changes was the <br />proposed alteration of parking adjacent to the rear kiosk to parallel spaces. <br />The Applicant picked up 700 square feet of green space on the right side of the <br />site plan by eliminating some of the unnecessary parking. <br />MF arrived at 8:36 PM. <br />CR updated the Commission on the minutes from the June 5 DRT meeting. One <br />of the concerns was the amount of parking spots on site and the Applicant has <br />reduced the amount. <br />Mr. Golber shows some of the vegetation currently on the site. The trees need to <br />be pruned but the large caliper Pine will remain. <br />Another concern was the circulation of delivery trucks; the DRT advised a <br />condition limiting access to Route 128. <br />The property owner is Conoco Philips. <br />Joe Delaney, Town Engineer saw the previously submitted plans and CR has not <br />heard anything from him since the DRT meeting. <br />There isn't any pedestrian access from Lakeview Avenue to the site now, so there <br />isn't any plan for doing so. <br />There are no proposed changes to the downspouts. No food preparation or <br />changes to the footprint are proposed for the convenience store conversion. The <br />back exterior of the building will have no changes, but the front of the building <br />will have a new fagade with a predetermined color scheme. <br />Public Comment <br />-Doug, 155 Village Street: the two closest residences have small children and <br />their safety is a major concern; what hours of operation would the convenience <br />store have? <br />
