Hurlburt calls that meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. and states that the purpose of the
meeting is to review a proposed amended site plan application for the redevelopment of
the property at 45 Enon Street and to provide a recommendation to the Planning Board on
it.
Attorney Jerry Parisella from the offices of Alexander and Femino explains to the
Commission that the project before them is for a modification to the site plan #60-00
which was approved by the Planning Board in July 2000. He then introduces the
Engineer Eric Blain from Hayes Engineering.
Mr. Blain explains to the Commission that this modification is for the reduction in the
overall site plan. He continues that the building area is being reduced by 11,000 square
feet and that the parking spaces are being reduced from 330 spaces to 271 spaces, a
reduction of 59 spaces.
Mr. Blain states that the only change in the building is that it used to be an "L" shape and
is now broken up into two buildings. He adds that the parking that used to be located
under the building is no longer being proposed~ it is being moved to the front of the
buildings.
Captain Palmer asked if the traffic lanes were going to be maintained at 24 feet for two-
way traffic. Mr. Blain responded that it would.
Hurlburt asked about the changes in dumpster locations. Mr. Blain indicates the new
locations of the dumpsters. Sergeant Tarsook states that in the original proposal, the
Commission wanted to make sure that the dumpster pick up would be limited to certain
times of the day and made a recommendation to the Planning Board. Attorney Parisella
stated that the Planning Board did include that specific recommendation in its conditions.
Hurlburt asked if the landscaping was going to change. Mr. Blain responded that they
have incorporated the Design Review Board's condition regarding landscaping that is
before the Commission now. Ms. Hurlburt states that it is important to ensure that these
plans are the same that were presented to the Design Review Board on March 7,2002
and the plans to be presented to the Planning Board on March 19, 2002. Mr. Blain
responds that all the plans are exactly the same.
Captain Palmer asked where the closest fire location was. Mr. Blain showed the
members.
There being no other business, the meeting is adjourned at 10:30 a.m.
