Plan (Adjourned from 11 previous meetings). Steve Calocerinos, Calocerinos Engineering, PLLC, spoke on behalf of the applicant. Steve noted cleaning up the site plan, providing stamped and scaled drawings, and submittal of the original pavilion as well as the extension to the building that includes the overhead doors. For now, the current structure will not be heated, however, this may change in the winter. Site plan changes include adding parcel and setback information. Steve noted the owner’s Attorney is working with Kathy Bennet ona cross access agreement. Karen Guinup noted an existing dumpster not shown on the drawing stating this will need to be shown with an enclosure. As well there are light poles, by the volleyball courts, not shown. All of these items need to be placed on the plans. Russ Mitchell stated structural drawings of the site plan will be reviewed in detail by the Codes Department during the building permit phase of the project. He also stated there is an expired permit with no certificate of occupancy, noting this had to do with the original structure. Russ suggested the owner re-permit the entire project at one time and in doing so, the Planning Department has been asked to put together a list of items needed to keep this moving forward and process permits accordingly. Karen stated due to the expired permit, there is no certificate of occupancy for this structure. Russ asked Steve place the dumpster information, as mentioned, so as to move forward with the site plan. Hal Henty asked if the owner had combined the lots and Steve said, no, he is working on that. Hal stated he may need variances, 1

however, Steve noted no structures are on the other lots, but would look into this. Jim Palumbo asked if the shaded pavement area (on the drawing) is for parking the rest of the lot as it looks like offset parking. Steve stated the shading is to identify paving. Kathy Bennett noted sending a letter, dated 12/15/2021, and not receiving an acknowledgement. Steve said he understood there was a response provided. Kathy will double check with her partners, noting perhaps one of them are working on it unbeknownst to her; she will check to see if this is done. Ron DeTota asked if there is fire hydrant near the east by the sand court and Steve said, yes. Hal mentioned not seeing additional bracing on the architectural drawings and Steve said these will be added per the report.
