now needs a larger facility. The
proposed building will have storage space for vehicles and equipment, as well
as a small office for the owners use. Outdoor
storage will be screened by the building.
There will be very little vehicle traffic into and out of the site. Only drivers will come to this site to pick
up vehicles; other employees report directly to the individual work sites. Building location meets required setbacks; there
is adequate sight distance on Route 350; landscaping will be installed at the corner
of the building; existing trees will be preserved as much as possible. Board members requested the driveway apron be
paved far enough in to accommodate a truck pulling in or out as well as having
a gate installed to restrict unauthorized access. Town Engineer asked to have exterior
materials and construction details defined before the next meeting. Mr. Shelley will also provide topographic
lines on the final submission. A motion
