3. Rooftop Equipment: • Applicant noted equipment will be on the roof and screened by fencing • Point was made to ensure that the design includes soundproofing in order to meet the daytime and nighttime decibel requirements 4. Trees: • Need to add more trees to meet requirements of the tree replacement ordinance and the requirements for landscaping in the parking area 5. Parking Area: • Number of parking spaces: o Will need a variance for the number of spaces o Applicant notes that they will argue for a variance based on the second-floor storage space not being part of the calculation. Planner notes that this should then be a deed-restriction to ensure future compliance. o Suggestion was made for the applicant to create a shared parking plan with some of the nearby properties. One recommendation was to collaborate with the owner of the nearby CVS and bank in order to provide employee parking (applicant noted that maximum employee shift could include 25-30 employees) • Shopping cart corral: o Shopping carts in parking lot will be a maintenance issue and information on this should be provided in application o Applicant says they will have a full-time person collecting carts so they aren’t scattered throughout the lot o Zoning official questioned possibility of having the carts stored further away from Main Street • Loading spaces: o Major concerns with on-street loading space. Planner and zoning official all indicate this will be an issue due to daycare center close by, school buses, and other morning traffic trying to navigate down Main Street o Applicant notes that on-site loading space will be for smaller box trucks and loading space on Main Street will be for larger trucks o Applicant notes on-street loading spot will be from 7am to 12pm and trucks will do quick drop offs of pallets roughly four times per week o Noted that Prospect Place cannot house a loading space because of the grade issues
