Recorder: Tina Cassidy
Cassidy calls the meeting to order at 11:00 a.m. and states that the Commission is
meeting to review a revised site plan for the proposed Dunkin Donuts at 112-114 Elljolt
Street. She introduces Attorney Mark Glovsky who represents Mr. Dinart Serpa, the
owner.
Glovsky explains that both the Commission and Planning Board had previously approved
a site plan for the construction of a new Dunkin Donuts at 112-114 Elljolt Street. Serpa
recently bought the adjacent lot and intends to incorporate it into the commercial site.
The home on the property will be torn down. He explains the changes being made to the
plan, which include a larger building, additional parking and landscaping, and more
stacking capacity for the drive-through.
Glovsky adds that the Design Review Board has approved the revised plans subject to the
conditions that: a) the entrance and exit signs will not be internally illuminated; and b)
that the wall sign on the building will be a wood-carved sign. Serpa has agreed to these
changes.
Members discuss the details of the site plan. Philpot recommends that "no parking" signs
be added along the fence on the westerly property line to keep people from parking on the
right-of-way. He also suggests eliminating the fence on one side of the City's right-of-
way, and repaving to the lot line.
Members discuss these recommendations and agree that the Parking and Traffic
Commission will recommend to the Planning Board that the site plan be approved subject
to the addition of"no parking" signs along the westerly property line, elimination of the
fence along the right-of-way, and repaving of the fight-of-way.
There being no other business, the meeting is adjourned at 1 l :20 a.m.
