Dear,Mr. Faden.:
1 aura writing you with regards to my review of the above-referenced project and to document the
recent: conversations between your agent; Lansing 'nsineerin „ P.C. and Laura Mneme of ray
office,
Upon my rev iew 1 find that your proposal, 'Fill require area Variances and 'Site Pian Rev iew prior
to the commencement of the project. Specifically, variance relief is required as two of the
proposed buildings do not meet the setback requirements of the Main Street (MS), district,
Additionally, variance relies" is rNunired from the rninirrrurn setback requirement as the bank
drive-fhru is not located within the setback requirement from interstate, 147. Site Ilan Review is
necessary for the construction of the:neer buildings and the,associated site improvements.
Further, i understand that you 'wish to install a 45 sq. 1 . freestanding sign. with less than the
required 15, ft. minimum setbatk restriction on Marin, Street. As,such, a Sign Variance is required.
Additional clarification regaarding,the materials to be used.for the:project signs are needed so that
we can identify any additional relief., if necessary, Please provide this information as soon as
possible. For your reference, please find the specific sign requirements for the Main Street:zone,
This letter serves as the required denial letter for the processing of your application package,
Should you have any questions or comments regarding your application,, please do not hesitate to
contact this office.,
