Gentlemen:
We represent Wayne Mattison, who wishes to purchase the above properties and establish an
Automobile Sales and Service Facility. To do so, a Use Variance must be approved by the Zoning
Board of Appeals; an application for same has been submitted.
Use Variances are not easy to obtain and thus, we would like to approach this project in a two-
step manner.
Enclosed please find the following:
1. Site Plan Review Application;
2. Site Plan Map;
3. Deed for Lower Warren Street—Book 1232/Page 323;
4. Deed for Green Avenue—Book 1351/Page 73;
5. Building Elevations;
6. March 19, 2014 Email from Craig Brown; and
7. Office check, in the amount of$100.00 to cover the application fee;.
We ask that you docket this application with the understanding that same is not complete. No
site engineering has been obtained. The minimum quote we have seen for engineering on a project like
this is $5,000.00. To expend that money before we get to site plan review places an undo burden on the
Applicant, particularly for a small project.
The final site plan review application will show full compliance with all regulations without a
request for any further variances, if the use variance is approved.
The final site plan review application will:
1. Comply with setbacks, height, lot coverage, permeability and floor area ratio; and
2. Have necessary stormwater facilities designed.

At this time, we ask that you waive the filing of necessary engineering and survey, with the
stipulation that, if the use variance is granted, all necessary information will then be assembled and
submitted and be subject to your standard review.
It makes common sense to have the Board exercise its discretion on the completeness of the
application based on the Applicant's stipulation.
Yours Very Truly,

Subject: clarification
Mike,
I just wanted to clarify a couple of this so we can stay on the same page.
Mattison: The "discretion"we spoke about regarding the project applications was two-fold. First the ZBA Chairman has
the authority to accept a variance application without a current stamped, signed survey if he decides to. Typically, he
does not grant the survey waiver if setback issues are at hand. This is a Use Variance so he may be inclined to grant the
waiver, but, we will wait to hear from him. Second,the Planning Board may exercise discretion on the completeness of
the required Site Plan Review application. Our Zoning code requires that any project needing both PB and ZBA approval
MUST first get a recommendation from the PB to the ZBA on the variance. The PB can only do this based on their review
of a Site Plan application for the project. The discretion comes in regarding how much information is needed for the PB
to render a recommendation. We discussed the "full blown" Site Plan application versus a less detailed submittal to get
the recommendation and then, if the UV is approved by the ZBA then you could move forward with the cost and detail
associated with a "full blown" SP application. This seems reasonable to me, but,the ultimate decision lies with the
PB. We still need a SPR application to get this started. If we can get this from you by Monday, March 24, 2014 at the
latest, we will work to get this process started in April. Otherwise, we can move both the AV and SPR to May as you and
Laura discussed yesterday.
Bear Pond: I received an email from Claudia Braymer agreeing to move the Notice of Appeal to our May ZBA
agenda. Our May ZBA dates are the 2155 and the 28". Do you have a preference? We will try to get a date that works
for all. I have reached out to Jon Lapper, but not heard back yet. You may wish to confer with him.
Hope all is well.
Thank you,
Craig
