DISCUSSION:
Morrison Quaker Road 5 Lot Industrial Drive-
Mike Green was present to address the board on behalf of
the applicant. He explained that they did a minor change on the grade for the
driveway since the last time this application was discussed. He mentioned there
will be an 8 inch main with two hydrants. They also changed the dedicated road
to a privately maintained road. The applicant Mr. Morrison answered questions
about the road mentioning that he would build the road all the way in and do
the storm drainage then as lots sold, the grading would be done. Town Engineer
Scott Allen mentioned that there is an incentive to disturbing less than 5
acres so he suggested a phasing plan stating that there is a lower threshold on
inspections and it can keep costs down.
Core Athletix Project
Rebecca Melton, was present to address the board. She mentioned that the last time this project was discussed the plan was to have the new building detached from the plaza. She presented a new plan to attach the building to get rid of the lot line issues discussed previously. The board members discussed an issue involving the snow. They mentioned that the Auto Zone roof would need to be reinforced due to the taller building set next to it causing drifts to the lower roof. Board member Mark McEwen commented that he was unsure if the new structure will look okay being higher than the rest of the plaza. Ms. Melton addressed parking concerns stating she could have tenant employees park behind the plaza. When asked why this lot and not the larger lot owned down the road Ms. Melton stated that the children like to walk for food between practices and it would be unsafe for them to do so at the other location.
