23-1345-001 – PB24-14 (172-174 Main St.) Page 2 of 5 building, with a medical office and event space on the ground floor; two 2-bedroom apartments and an efficiency apartment unit on the second floor, and two 1-bedroom apartments and two efficiency apartments on the third floor. Below is a summary of the proposed building fit-out: The Applicant does not appear to propose any site or ground disturbance for this work. 1. General 1.1. The survey provided on the architect’s site plan represents existing conditions as of March 13, 1989. A number of existing features on the site are not depicted on the survey, including but not limited to, curbline of Main Street, driveway apron, street trees, curbing within the site, building cellar door, drainage structures and piping, roof drainage discharges, 3- to 4-foot-tall brick retaining wall and railing, existing overhead and/or underground utility services (sanitary, water, electric, gas, telecom, etc.), utility pole and wires which may or may not service other properties, etc. An updated survey should be provided and used as the base map for the site plan. Additionally, it is difficult to determine what is existing and what is proposed, as all graphics and text are black. The site plan shall be revised to depict existing conditions in gray and proposed improvements in black to clearly differentiate them. 2. Demolition 2.1. The Applicant shall provide testimony as to the intention to remove, demolish, or otherwise modify any existing exterior site elements for the proposed development. 3. Site Plan 3.1. The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding the existing site conditions, proposed improvements, and conformance with applicable ordinances and regulations. 3.2. The application states the entire first floor will be used for office space while the architect’s plan shows that 1,388 SF will be used for event space. The Applicant shall clarify the specific use of the space and provide testimony. 3.3. Parking space No. 26 conflicts with the existing chain-link fence and associated sliding gate parallel to Main Street and shall be revised. 3.4. The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding the parking lot striping and whether such will be repainted. 3.5. The Applicant notes two proposed ADA-accessible parking spaces in the parking lot, and depicts a number of wheelchair-related ADA details on Drawing A-001

ping and whether such will be repainted. 3.5. The Applicant notes two proposed ADA-accessible parking spaces in the parking lot, and depicts a number of wheelchair-related ADA details on Drawing A-001 (Accessibility Requirements). However, no apparent means of wheelchair (or other ADA) access will be provided from either the ADA parking spaces or right-of-way. The Applicant shall provide testimony regarding the same, as well as the project’s overall conformance with ADA regulations for interior and exterior site work. Given that there will be a medical office on the first floor, the Applicant should consider shifting parking down by one stall and integrating a linear ramp (parallel to the building façade) that could provide wheelchair access to the building. 3.6. There is inadequate maneuvering space for stalls 1 and 14 as multiple m. Additionally, the parking lot provides no dedicated space for vehicles to easily turnaround, which would cause residents and visitors entering a full lot to potentially back-out onto Main Street to find parking elsewhere. The Applicant should consider adding a new curb line five feet in front of the brick wall, with a five foot bump-out to provide room for both stalls 1 and 14, and 3.7. The site plan shall be revised to include an eight (8) foot wide striped area for ADA van accessibility, as well as adding MUTCD-compliant signage for the two ADA parking stalls. Details for the same shall be provided. 3.8. The Applicant shall confirm that the four (4) existing roof-mounted HVAC units will be raised up on top of the new third floor roof and not relocated at-grade, as well as any other similar equipment.
