July 19, 2023 Regular Meeting Minutes

applicant will have to coordinate that exact timing with their existing tenants and future tenants in order to provide lighting for them accordingly. According to Mr. Hess’s comment #6 they are showing six EV spaces just South of the proposed A building, suite 4 and across from the mid-level from the main building; these six EV spaces were not labeled on the plans as to when they would be installed. These will be installed within three years of obtaining the CO, since the state statute requires that they install 1/3 of the EV spaces before CO is issued, the next one third within three years and the final one third within six years of the CO. The applicant intends to follow that phasing schedule and may even accelerate it depending on how the development of shopping center goes. Comment #10 on Mr. Hess's review letter indicated that the loading dock one or LD one was not included in the submission; the engineer believes that they did include it in the submission between pages seven and eight in the site plan set. Finally, under comment #14 they did provide a copy of the maintenance manual and it is their understanding that Mr. Hess has since received it, but if not, they will provide a copy. BOARD QUESTIONS Mr. Wilkes asked if the engineer could go over the entrance on Eagle Rock Avenue, Mr. Delaney said they are proposing to shift the curb line significantly to the West and they are proposing to elongate it. What this will do is help control the movement of cars in, it will narrow it up and help slow them down before they get right in front of the main building. For the out movements they are going to be maintaining that existing right hand turn only lane and as far as exiting the shopping center they are going to have a dedicated left turn only lane and second lane which will provide through access onto the side street across Eagle Rock and left turn access out. Mr. Wilkes asked if the sidewalks are going to be changed. Mr. Delaney said that the sidewalks will be maintained and they will be providing additional sidewalks.

The existing sign near the northern entrance to the site on Prospect Ave. will be replaced with a new pylon sign; he said that they are also providing a new pylon sign at the southern entrance and there will be a smaller sign at the intersection of Eagle Rock Ave. and Prospect Ave. with the name of the site on it. Ms. Williams asked if there will be a crosswalk as well as stop signage at the new building so that pedestrians will have the right of way. Mr. Delaney said that coming from the back of the shopping center there's a stop bar/sign there and they are proposing a crosswalk as well. Ms. Williams asked how close the loading docks are to the residential development, what type of barriers will they use and if the trucks there have the capacity to enter and exit without any challenges. Mr. Delaney said the trucks movements have been designed to park in those three spaces and be able to maintain traffic flow throughout the shopping center. In regards the barriers there is a buffer at the back where the loading docks are away from the residential development. Mr. Guarino asked if it is possible to have blinking lights for more pedestrian awareness. Mr. Delaney said that it is something they can consider, since he thinks that the blinking 10
