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 PLANNING COMMISSION 10 May 1988 page 4 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- iates last revised May 4, 1988 with the following stipulations: 1. A $16,500 landscaping bond shall be posted prior to permit. The eastern edge of the parking lot shall be planted with a thick evergreen hedge to buffer the new commercial from the R4 District Landscaping valued at $10,000 must be planted. Up to $6,500 in credit may be granted for existing trees once identified by the Planner and shown on the plans. The total bond shall be posted until it is definite that all existing trees for which credit is granted survive. Revised plans shall be submitted to the Planner rior to permit. 2. A $2439 intersection improvement fee shall be paid prior to permit based on the 95 trip ends generated by this development. 3. The existing Shelburne Rd. curb cuts shall be closed. 4. A sewer allocation of 1650 gpd is granted and the $2 50 per gallon fee shall be paid prior to permit. 5. A concrete sidewalk shall be constructed along Shelburne Rd and a bond posted prior to permit.

Revised Final Plat of Lakewood Associates for conversion of previously approved office building to 7500 sq. ft. of retail use, a 350 sq. ft. patio addition for 25 additional seats and a 400 sq. ft. addition for storage to Jake's Bar and Grill, and conversion of 1384 sa.. ft. of office space a beauty salon at Lakewood Commons, 1233 Shelburne Rd. to 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.
