15 • Heath Shelby asked what kind of system has been thought about to deter people from parking in those spots. Ms. Bullock said on the southerly south side there is an existing fence, on the rear there is an existing fence, and there is a partial fence on the north side. She has also spoken with the engineer about additional fence on the north side to deter people living in that dwelling to step over and using the parking. Mr. Cox also mentioned usually many commercial buildings have contracts with towing companies and can have signs on the property that says park at your own risk, so for overnight parking they usually know every car in the parking lot. There is also going to be cameras on the property. • Donna Uher at 1 Edgehill asked how would the fire trucks maneuver in the parking lot if there is an issue there. Mr. Zeberl said they are not proposing any changes to the site layout; the only change is the one-story addition to the building, so nothing they are doing is going to change the circulation of the fire truck as it presently exists. • Stanley Shapiro at 12 Edgehill Rd asked what impact study has been done about the addition of 7 residential units on a commercial property.

Ms. Bullock said the number of parking spaces required for the residential use is 13, the number required for the office use is 11.3, so the total is 24.3 or 25 spaces required. They are providing 24 spaces plus the credit for the EV spot to be 2 spaces so therefore they are providing 25 spaces. • Stanley Shapiro asked what level of review goes into this.
