The purpose of these revised and supplemental plans and information is to attempt to address the
staff and DRB comments received during the March 2, 2022 and May 17, 2022 DRB meetings to
the best of our ability prior to the hearing on June 7, 2022.
In regards to the proposed architectural, civil and landscaping plan changes made to address the
comments, here is a brief summary of the revisions made –
· A front door entry has been added to the eastern (Shelburne Rd. frontage) face of the
building. The door has been shifted slightly and the entry revised to have sidelights,
wider mullions and a small projecting canopy over the doorway. The paneling above
the doorway has also been realigned so that the paneling is symmetrical with the
doorway. This is best all viewed on the revised “21012 A400 Exterior Elevations 5-
20-22” pdf.
· Correspondingly, the front sidewalk and patio area has been modified to
accommodate the front entrance, as well as provide direct pedestrian connection to
the Shelburne Rd. sidewalk via a new set of concrete steps. A variation in sidewalk
materials and pavers is proposed to further accentuate the front door and increase the
aesthetic of the front sidewalk and patio area. This is best viewed on the revised
“2104 L-2 Planting Plan 5-16-22” pdf.
· A cornice has been added along the top of entire street facing façade and building
addition.
· The existing trash and recycling dumpsters will be slightly relocated and enclosed with a
6’ tall, slatted, chain link fence and gates.
· To accommodate the revised entrance and patio area, the drainage and landscaping was
revised accordingly.
· Lastly, a new Construction Setup site plan has been added to the submission as provided
by the general contractor, outlining the intended temporary setup while the dealership is
under construction.
In addition to these plan changes and supplemental information, we’d also like to take this
opportunity to address the staff comments noted in the DRB staff report dated May 17, 2022,
although some of this will be redundant to the testimony provided during the previous DRB
meetings. These are addressed in the numerical order they were presented in red in the May 17,
2022 staff report –
1. A front door entry has been added to the eastern (Shelburne Rd. frontage) face of the
building and access provided to this new entry via new concrete stairs and sidewalk
from the Shelburne Rd. sidewalk. The door, façade, accenting windows and paneling
have been revised to further accentuate the doorway.
2. The proposed concrete steps and sidewalk access is direct as possible in accomplishing
pedestrian accessibility to property in general and with the primary (north) entryway.

3. Per the attached “21012 A400 Exterior Elevations 5-20-22” plan, a metal coping has been
added to the top of the parapet to comply with the requirement to have a cornice or
something similar.
4. A proposed 30 ft. wide by 20 ft. deep future access easement has been added to the
southwest property adjacent to the existing parking area in this location. Additionally, a
draft easement deed has been provided in conjunction with this easement.
5. The proposed landscaping plans, budget and probable cost of planting have all been
updated to address previous comments regarding these items. Previous items, including
hardscape substructures and replacement of an existing tree, have been removed from the
budget and additional landscaping proposed. This is best viewed on the revised “2104 L-
1 Landscaping Plan 5-16-22”, “2104 L-2 Planting Plan 5-16-22”, “2104 Landscape
Budget 5-16-22” and “2104 Probable Cost of Planting 5-16-22” pdfs.
6. A column has been added to the probable cost of planting spreadsheet to include caliper
on all proposed trees. This is best viewed on the revised “2104 Probable Cost of Planting
5-16-22” pdf.
7. The proposed landscaping plans, budget and probable cost of planting have all been
updated to address previous comments regarding these items.
8. Again, the proposed landscaping plans, budget and probable cost of planting have all
been updated to address previous comments regarding these items.
9. A temporary construction site plan has been provided to outline the access and
functionality of the site during construction. This is best viewed on the “Autosaver
Construction Setup 1-31-22” pdf.
We hope this summary, revised plan set and supplemental information is sufficient in providing
the necessary information for Site Plan review. If upon review of the revised and supporting
information you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
