be replaced with 1 18 ft. door to store the snow removal equipment.

The other outdoor storage area will be used for nursery materials Karen asked if this other storage area will have a specific tenant; Hal said yes, they have a tenant. Karen also stated that the special permit approval for the other outdoor storage must relate to the additional tenant’s operation.
Karen asked if the emergency access road will be paved. Hal said it is gravel right now, and they will be adding more gravel. Karen asked if the fire apparatus and emergency vehicles will be able to enter the area with just gravel. Mr. Romans said they would. Russ Mitchell said painting the exterior of the building would be a great improvement. Hal Romans said they will paint and use an earth tone color.
Karen asked where the door will be that will be for the handicap parking access; Mr. Romans said he will get back to the board on that. She also asked about the county comment, on the gate being 60 ft from the pavement.
Jim Palumbo stated that he can see with the steepness of the site the trucks will have to park in the street in order to open the gate. He also asked if there will be a fueling tank on the site. Mr. Romans said he will find out.
He also wondered if the pay loaders would fit in the outdoor storage are, Mr. Romans said they remove the plow blade and store them inside. So they will fit in the area.
Jim commented on the entrance, the gravel is thin in some areas and with all the rain we have had it is all mud, will that area be paved? Karen asked Jim how much should be paved; he said 50’x 12’is typical.
Ron DeTota the 60 ft from the pavement, if you do that the turn radius will have to be changed also the gravel will have to extend to the utility pole. Take a look at the swale, as not to compromise the infrastructure.
Karen asked if anyone had any questions or comments hearing none the Madam Chair closed both public hearings.
A motion was made by Allen Kovac seconded by Russ Mitchell to adjourn both cases to
the July 8, 2015 meeting.

Joseph Mastoianni presented the plan. The code requires 7 parking spaces for this zone, Mr. Mastoianni was granted a variance for set back. The parking has been modified, there is one handicap parking space, and there is a ramp to the back door. The site has 5 parking spaces right now; the applicant is asking the Board to approve the site plan with only 5 parking spaces. Karen asked if all the spaces were 9.5 x 20 ft. and they are. Karen asked Jim Palumbo if the building is ADA compliant, railings, curbs and ramps. Jim said the ramp can not end in a parking space. Al Kovac asked if the drive will be asphalt, and will the parking lot be paved, Mr. Mastoianni said they would,
Karen said she does not have a problem with the 4 parking spaces plus 1 handi cap spot. She likes the possibility of more parking in back for the future.
Russ Mitchell agreed this would be fine for this use.
Jim said there was discussion about the garage being counted as 1 parking space at the last meeting; however the garage will be used for storage.
Karen closed the public hearing.
