Site plan review for proposed miniwarehouse business, 85 Swift Street, Mr. Ray Conchieri Mr. Page said that the plan included severalnlong buildings, of which parts would be rented. There were 28' between the buildings and there will also be a boat and camper gravel storage area. The area around the buildings is paved. Mr. Page felt the plan was adequate for fire protection. Access and Bight distance are both good. Mr. Page showed the Commission a sketch of how Lindenwood Drive could be extended through Farrell rark to Swift Street, using the existing entrance to the park. This would not take any valuable land in the park. Mr. Page wanted Mr. Szymanski to review the plan for drainage. Sewer and water lines are already on the property. There will be an apartment for a resident manager. Mr. Page said that Mr. Conchieri had submitted a memo to the Zoning Board regarding traffic generation and it was expected that the project would generate 35-50 cars in a 24 hour day and 55-80 on Saturdays. Mr. Mona asked how many partitions the buildings could have and was told it was about 625 for the entire project. A person could rent as much or as little as he wanted and there would also be some commerical storage but only for small retail stores. It was not intended that there be any on -premise sales of retail merchandise. In response to questions from Mr. Draper, Mr. Page said that Lindenwood was 20' wide and that if it was extended it would probably be closed at Shelburne Road. fir. Conchieri said that the buildings would not be heated, there would not be a sprinkler system, that the area was zoned BR but that they have a use variance and that there would be security fencing around the parking lot while the rest of the buildings would be provided with detection devices and haveAAk own security systems. The fencing around the narking area will be 6' high chain link with a locked gate to which the manager would have the key. Mr. rage said there were sume nice hardwood trees in the area and he asked if they could be moved 40-5c' to the north.
