Arrangement- The project site has an existing 23,220 sq ft building with associate parking, and lighting for
the Sky zone trampoline recreation facility.
Site Design- The applicant proposes to construct a new 3,840 sq ft storage. There was an existing house and
garage that have been recently demolished and the area to be landscaped.

building is to be less than 30 ft in height.
Signage-There is no new signage proposed
Traffic- The plans show there is a internal driveway from the existing parking lot to access the new storage
building. There is a turnaround/parking area near the storage building. There is no change to the 112
existing parking spaces.
Grading and drainage plan, Sediment and erosion control- The applicant has submitted a stormwater report
that has been forwarded to the Town Engineer for review and comments. Eave trenches are proposed for
the new storage building and a vegetated swale is proposed to be reestablished.
Landscape plan – The area where the buildings are to be removed will include new landscaping.
Site lighting plan- There is no new light fixtures proposed. The applicant should confirm if there is any new
light poles or wall mounted lights for the storage building.
Utility details – The plans should confirm if the new storage building will be connected to electric and
water. Also, it should be noted if there is a bathroom in the storage building.
Elevations – The building elevations are to be provided.
Floor plans- The floor plans are to be provided – most likely will be an open floor plan. There are either
one or two garage doors and one man door.
Waivers-Planning staff has reviewed the applicants request for waivers that include items, h. signage, n
traffic, o. commercial alterations/ construction details, q. soil logs, r. construction/demolition disposal.
The waivers requested–Staff finds it reasonable to request a waiver as these items as the project involves
a storage building on an existing site with a recreational building where the site details for parking have
already been addressed and where the project has included updates for stormwater management.
Pursuant to Section 179-9-050 the Planning Board may grant waivers on its own initiative or at the
written request of an applicant. The Board is to review the waivers and to determine if they are to be
granted.
Summary
The applicant has completed a site plan application for the construction of 3,840 sq ft storage building with
associated site work. The board should consider requesting information on lighting, and building details.
