• 3. Review site plan application of Dennis Blodgett"Kfor a 29,424
sq. ft. retail/office building, 1342 Shelburne Rd.
Mr. Llewellyn noted there was a new architect for this development
Since IDX got approval for their construction, alignment of the
road was changed. Originally each gave up 40 ft. of property for
the road. IDX moved to 56 ft. on Blodgett's property and only 24
ft. on their own property, so the road now lines up correctly with
the intersection. The Blodgett access has also been moved to line
up with the IDX access drive.
Mrs. Lafleur questioned whether this was actually 2 buildings
joined by a second story walkway. Mr. Blodgett said it is not.
It is one connected building with a first floor archway. Mrs.
Lafleur noted they do meet the 65 ft. setback. A 15 ft. buffer of
hedge should be provided between this and the residential land.
There should also be a sidewalk on Shelburne Rd. Mr. Llewellyn
agreed to these stipulations. As in the previous plan, the 4th
face of the signal should be operating prior to permit.
Ms. Pugh said -she was concerned with the number of compact car
spaces and also wanted to see a large portion of Landscaping money
spend on a buffer with the residential land. Mr. ,Jacob suggested
the Planner decide how much credit, if any, be given for existing

trees and that trees to be saved be tagged.
Mrs. Lafleur noted they are asking for 31 compact car spaces. Mr.
Blodgett said the parking plan was changed to accommodate the
change in the road. Mrs. Maher suggested signing the area for
compact cars only.
Mrs. Hurd said she would like the plan to state where the right of
way is.
Mrs. Hurd moved the Planning Commission approve the revised site
plan of Dennis Blodgett for 29, 424 sq. ft. of retail and general
offices as depicted on a plan entitled "Blodgett Property Develop-
ment, Commercial Portion" prepared by Fitzpatrick -Llewellyn Assoc-

Mr. Burgess expressed serious concern about a sewer line
serving 3 buildings being located under a building. Mr.
Wallace said a solution might be to install a sleeve or
change from plastic to ductile iron. Members said absolutely
not. Mr. Deslauriers said they haven't found a solution yet
and may have to come back with a new building location. Mrs.
Maher said there could not be approval tonight with that
building shown in its present location.
Mrs. Lafleur said another issues is parking. They propose
211 spaces when 253 are required. Mrs. Lafleur said she went
through the formulas on shared parking which would require
215 spaces for this combination of uses. It would mean a
waiver of 170. Members felt this was not a problem.
The question of left turning traffic was raised, especially
if this is to be a retail area. There is a conflict with
people turning onto Imperial Drive as the turning traffic is
going right at each other. Mr. Deslauriers said that retail
use is 35% less traffic than the previously proposed bank
use. Mrs. Lafleur said the only other solution is a median
strip. Mr. Deslauriers said they have tried to get people to
use Holmes Rd. for exiting and they were willing to encourage
tenants to use Holmes Rd. as an entrance.
Mr. Jacob then raised the issue of the sidewalk. A memo from
Sonny Audette of the Street Dept. indicates the sidewalk is
not built as it should be. Mr. Deslauriers conceded there
were on -site decisions made for various reasons. He said he
had reviewed the site with Mr. Audette today. Mr. Wallace
said they have not yet come to any conclusion as to how to
solve the problems. He hoped there could be a compromise.
Mr. Jacob said he would like to know exactly what Mr. Audette
wants. As Mr. Audette had left the building to respond to a
fire alarm, discussion was suspended.
