Shadows: their study shows that <br />throughout the year shadows would have very little impact on surrounding buildings and no shadows <br />would fall on abutting, non-commercial buildings. Noise from rooftop mechanicals (e.g. HVAC): <br />Atlantic Supermarket's rooftop mechanicals sat unshielded on a low roof. Oaktree's roof will be higher <br />and its mechanicals will be behind acoustic shielding. Monolithic rear wall: depending on the unit mix, <br />more bay windows, `balconies may be added to break up the facade. <br />Regarding the right-of-way connecting Haven Street and the municipal parking lot, Ms Noyes suggested <br />scheduling a meeting with abutters and town representatives to come to some resolution. The Board of <br />Selectmen wants it to remain two-way. Oaktree wants it to be one-way so a sidewalk can be constructed. <br />Oaktree suggested the one-way direction they propose could be reversed if that would address the <br />Selectmen's and abutters' concerns. <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />
