well as the new build. Mr. Marshall said that they will have 3 dumpsters 1 for the existing business and 2 for the Stewarts. He asked how they will deal with recycling, as it is a separate container. He also asked about the landscape plan. Mr. Palumbo suggested he look at the perimeter bushes, make sure they are very hardy and can withstand the harsh winters, and impacts from snow removal practices. He recommends a Bradford Pear in the triangle, Mr. Marshall said that maintenance will be problematic. Mr. Palumbo mentioned that the plan seems to have a good plant palette, just be sure you place them correctly.
Joyce Cerrito a resident of Bayberry is requesting side walks from the stop light at the corner of John Glenn to the Stewarts location. Dave Hess said there is no way to maintain the sidewalks through the winter, and they have to be maintained.
Mr. Palumbo agreed that there will be an increase in foot traffic from the bayberry community and a section of sidewalk to the point of Buckley Road terminating into Bayberry would be a good idea. Mr. Marshall said that Stewarts would be willing to put side walks in up to the NOVA property, and maintain them.
Karen Guinup added that NOVA is not at this meeting and this was a discussion for another time.
Dave Hess said NOVA would be before this Board on another issue at the end of May, Mr. Marshall could discuss the side walks with them at that time.
