building with associated parking. Project includes new parking arrangement,retaining wall, lighting,
stormwater management and landscaping. Pursuant to Chapter 179-3-040 of the Zoning Ordinance, new

Staff Comments
® Location-The project site location is at 871 State Route 9 the previous Ray Supply site.
® Arrangement-The existing 6869 sq ft building is to be demolished and a new 16,000 sq ft building is to be
constructed on the site.
® Site Design-The project includes the demolition of the existing building and site grading to place the new
building gin the South west corner area. The remainder of the site is to be developed for parking and site
access. The application narrative explains the 20 ft interconnect to Walmart is proposed to be removed
because of the topography difference between the two properties will be greater due to the grading for the
new building site. Staff would suggest the board review the waiver request as part of the application review.
• Building—The building is to be a one story 16,000 sq ft building. The plans show the entrance to be at the
north east corner of the building. The building is mostly a brick fagade with brown/neutral colors. The
bands are orange with blue accents.
® Signage-The signage information appears to be incomplete - a pylon sign to be located at the North corner
of the property does not indicate the setback where it is to be 15 ft setback from all property lines. The wall
sign also does not show dimensions where the two lines of signage would be considered one sign. Staff
would suggest additional information to be placed on the plans for the signage to confirm compliance.
® Site conditions-The plans show the site include grading to the west side of the property and to install a
retaining wall along a portion of the west property area. The retaining wall detail is provided but it is
unclear the height on the site and the guardrail at the top. Staff would suggest clarification of the retaining
wall on site.
® Traffic-The applicant has included in the narrative traffic where about 500 trips total trips per week days
and Saturdays then during the holidays an anticipated increase by 50%. In addition,the site is to have 75
parking spaces constructed and 5 spaces banked—project meets the required 80 spaces based on building
size. The plans show the location of snow removal from the parking are to be moved to the property front
green areas.
® Site layout and utility plan—The plans show the location of the existing utility along Route 9. The building
will be connecte to the existing Town water and sewer lines.
® Grading and drainage plan and Sediment and erosion control -The plans show the existing and proposed
grading conditions. The applicant has provided a SWPPP that has been referred to the Town engineer for
review.
® Landscape plan—The plans show clearing occurs on most of the site with a small corner on the south west
corner to remain. The applicant proposes a buffer of 25 +/-ft where 50 ft is required. The applicant has
provided an aerial photo showing the vegetation at the adjacent homes and project site.
® Site lighting plan—The plans show parking lighting and wall lighting locations and type. Six single pole
lights, four double pole lights and four wall pack lights—all cutoff fixtures shown on plans. Average
lighting for parking area 2.5 candles as suggested by code.
® Elevations—The elevations 22 ft 4 in one story building with a portion of the building extending about 5 ft
above the main roofline. The applicant has included a photo of a similar building with the typical building
colors—browns/neutral,blue accent and orange band.

items.

Project Description
Applicant proposes to complete the third (final)phase of the"Cedars Senior Living"project. The project has
been reconfigured for one 32 unit building rather than the previously proposed individual cottages concept.
Pursuant to Chapter 179-9-040 of the Zoning Ordinance, discussion with the Planning Board may be requested
by the applicant.
Staff Comments
® Location-The project for an additional 32 unit building is located within the Cedar Senior Living property.
® Arrangement-The location of the building is proposed to be near the existing buildings on the site.
® Site Design-The project would involve lot line adjustments with the three lots associated with the Cedars
Senior Living development. The original project had proposed two main apartment buildings and an area
for cottage units. The files indicate the cottage unit area was to be used for septic field and then as the
project developed connection to the Town Sewer system became available. The development of the site
with the existing buildings and associated drive areas included design around existing wetland areas on the
site. The new building is also proposed to be designed around the wetland area but will need potential area
variances. The plans show the new project area will include realignment of the main drive,perimeter
building drive of the new building and alterations to the parking for all of the buildings.
® Building—The proposed building is to be three stories and to have 32 apartment units.
® Elevations—the applicant has included a photo of the proposed building appearance and site photos of the
existing buildings.
® Overall — The project may be subject to area variances for building setbacks to wetland, parking, density.
Additional review may be necessary for Site Plan and Fresh water wetlands for work within 100 ft of the
wetland boundary, parking along with site plan or subdivision modification involving the adjustment of the
main access drive. The project originally was approved in a Professional office zone where the zoning was
changed to Office zone.
Summary
