3. The subject site encompasses 361,261 sq. ft. (8.29 acres) and is improved with a large commercial building, which houses a restaurant/banquet facility and a two-story accessory building, which is located to the north of the main building. 4. Both the main and accessory buildings are surrounded by existing surface parking lots located to the north and south. The area to the west of the main and accessory buildings is landscaped to the western property line. The landscaped area includes a large fountain at the rear of the main building and smaller fountains and an existing gazebo located to the north of it. A series of brick paved sidewalks extends throughout the landscaped area, connecting the fountains and gazebo. 5. The Applicant proposes to demolish and reconstruct the existing walking paths and driveways and the valet parking area. 6. The scope of work proposed also includes the renovation of the main building, primarily the reconfiguration of the interior layout and finishes, and the construction of the Porte- Cochere at the main entry to the building located on the northern elevation, adjacent to the existing driveway. Other than the addition of the Porte-Cochere, the footprint of the main building will remain the same. 7. Applicant’s engineering, architectural and planning expert, Michael Petry, testified that the well-known banquet facility received Planning Board approval in 1996 for a total occupancy limit of 1,404 persons. 8. The last approval received for the restaurant/banquet facility was in 2013 related to the roof top renovation.
