Description of Proiect:
EVEREST ENTERPRISES, LLC
Site Plan 32-99
Route 9
Type Unlisted
June 24, 1999
The applicant proposes an 82 unit hotel. The proposed project requires site plan
review and approval in the highway commercial zone. The applicant has received
an area variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
Staff Notes:
The proposed project meets the code requirements for parking, use, access, and
landscaping. The proposed use is compatible with the existing uses. The
Beautification Committee recommended the tree size be increased to 3-3 1/2" caliper
and the dumpster be appropriately screened.
Staff spoke with the applicant in regards to parking location and stormwater
information. The applicant has indicated the location of the parking would serve
the patrons more efficiently out front than relocating the parking to the back. The
Town code requires a 50 year storm plan for retention and detention basins
according to Section 183-27 Storm Drainage. The applicant has indicated an
emergency overflow would accommodate a 100 year storm, Storm Water
Management Report page 2.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the site plan with the removal of the five parking
spaces located between the interconnection with Ponderosa and the main entrance
of the hotel. There may be a conflict with vehicles parking and driving through.
