Mr. Thomas said that the sign on the roof would be the first thing to come down. A new sign has j not been determined yet, but plans are to possibly put the new sign in the same position as McDonald's. The lot is 32,000 square feet with 155 foot frontage on Williston Road. There will be two instead of three curb cuts, east -in and west -out. Plan is to provide a fast food service where people can go in and pick up food and leave. This service will be comparable to McDonald's with seating for as many as 84 people. Area on east side of building will be eating area. Back section of building will be freezer. Building will be 120 feet from road. Area will be landscaped and center section of lot will be lawn with trees near front of building. There will be 44 parking spaces.

Discussion was had on possibility of free travel between Dunkin Donuts and King Burger to lessen traffic congestion. Exterior of building will be brick, with sloped roof. Major part of front and sides will be windows. There will be a picnic area in the front. When asked if he thought new business would fair out better than the Lure, he responded that Joe Allard's report showed they would do quite well in that area. Mr. Glassman felt that business would at least double because they are offering more product than the competition. Regarding site plan approval, Mr. Szymanski said that lie has reviewed the plans. Mr. Tudhope said he feels the new landscaping will look better than the present. Commissioner Maher asked if there could be some green on Williston Road that would endure during winter time. Chairman Tudhope asked about the height of the proposed trees. Mr. Thomas said they will be at least 12 feet high. Discussion on the size of the lot.

Mr. Doherty returned with his completed subdivision plan which the Planning Commission reviewed. Mr. Doherty said that they do not plan to subdivide the land for a period of five years. Mr. Brown made mention of the fact that this land will be leased to U.V.M. for five years and thinks it would be natural that U.V.M. would be interested in buying the property at that time. Mr. Szymanski said that the City Council has discussed this matter and feels that it would probably be quite difficult to try to limit the sale of public land. After some discussion, motion was made by Mr. Brown that the Planning Commission acce t the Wheelock subdivision as resented on t o plan of -March 51973. The motion was seconded by Mrs. Maher and unanimously approved. MULTI -FAMILY DWELLING, SWIFT STREET - Tabled at February 27, 1973 meeting. Re proposal of James Earner. Mr. Audette again explained what !( they intended to do with the Swift Street site and said that he had tried to personally contact all of the people in the immediate vicinity to inform them of their plans. Several inter- ested persons were present at the meeting and expressed views as follows: Walter McCaffrey - said that he definitely was against this and added that he would probably try to get an injunction against this building, if approval was given. Mr. Aruzza - said he is against this because he feels this area is dangerous for an apartment building of this size and they would have no way of controlling the number of tenants per unit once the building has been constructed. Mr. Joly - said he is against this proposal but does feel the area would be better zoned residential than business, and would rather see an apartment building on this site than the warehouse which had been previously proposed for the same location. Mrs. Joanne Couillard - said she would prefer to have the apart- ment building on this site and to see the area zoned rpsideiitiai but did fear a building of this type would create a traffic hazard for this area. Mr. Tudhope then reminded the Commission that the queMt.ion Lu:.ore them at present is whether th'Ls aiea should be changed to residen- tiai or stay as business.
