He suggested they re-submit a revised design . Mr. Turnquist stated that they were aware of what was required. Chairman Hritz asked Mr. Turnquist if the applicant received the variances from the Zoning Board. Mr. Turnquist answered "Yes." He then introduced Mr. Rodrigues1 son, George. He explained the changes made in the plans. Chairman Hritz asked him to summarize for the Board the applicant's status. Mr. Turnquist, referring to the plans and the site model, explained the project as follows: 76 Chestnut Street is proposed to be a 3 story building. 83 Depeyster Street is proposed to be a 3 story building. Total of 18 dwelling units with parking in the garage. Access to the parking will be strictly from the Depeyster Street side. PAGE # 2 �He went into details regarding the parking garage. He addressed some of Susan Portman's comments from the Memorandum of Feb. 10,1995. He stated that they have met all of the requirements for handicapped parking. He explained about the handicap parking and passed out copies of Regulation 1986. Susan Portman read the Regulation ADA 1991. Discussion on the size of the handicapped parking spaces ensued. Mr. Turnquist pointed out that they had a handicapped lift and a clearance of 6* 8" in the garage. He explained how tenants will enter and exit the parking area. Discussion on dumpsters and how they will deal with it followed. Donald Caetano stated that they should have no problems. They will be better off with dumpsters than with cans. Mr. Turnquist said that they will use cans for 76 Chestnut and dumpsters for 83 Depeyster. Chairman Hritz asked if he had any problems with landscaping. Mr. Turnquist "What we had planned on doing was if there was a final decision on this, we wanted to accommodate the stores, the retaining wall and address the Landscaping as well. We would have a proper plan and detail of the whole thing." Mr. Turnquist stated that the owner was upset about paying twice for the design on the project. He was getting billed from the architect and the Planning Consultants for their participation for the same project. Chairman Hritz said that the Board will look into that and would like to see the bills. Discussion on the Landscaping continued. Mr. Turnquist mentioned that he would like to see a stockade fence. Donald Caetano commented that ivy grows through it. It was safe, looked beautiful, was a strong fence and it didn't have to be painted. Mr. Margotta stated that the fence had to get approval from the Architectural Review Board. Discussion followed. PAGE # 3 �Mr. Turnquist, continuing to go down the list on the Memorandum, expressed his surprise by the comment on page 4 part 7 about creating additional bedrooms. On the sub-division of the lots, Mr. Turnquist said that it was up to the owner to decide. Mr. Margotta commented that when the Assessor got it, it was going to be one lot. Donald Caetano made a motion to declare the Board Lead Agency. Ellen Tsangaris seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Turnquist explained how high are the neighboring buildings around Chestnut Street and Depeyster Street. Chairman Hritz asked him when will he be able to submit a landscaping plan. Mr. Turnquist answered "next meeting". Mark DeGennaro "I just want to make the Board aware that Mr. Turnquist is going to put together the drainage and the retaining wall. However, it is some concern of mine that with the wall you are proposing, this wonderful sub-division and development, you are looking at the wall as if you are going to be able to built it like this. At this point, I'm looking at certain possibilities of this wall actually changing, thereby developing in a smaller lot size which might change the project dramatically." Mr. Turnquist answered "your concern is the capacity of the soil". He explained the plans for the retaining wall. Discussion on the soil and the retaining wall followed. Mr. Margotta commented that he had all the variances he needed. His biggest hurdle was the Zoning Board. Now , he had the retaining wall, the drainage and the landscaping. David Perlmutter said "The mere fact that he says that he doesn't want to go along with this without the Board's approval doesn't compel us to grant him approval. They have been here so many times that it is incredible. Mr. Turnquist doesn't show up sometimes; he wants the approval tonight, he doesn't have the landscaping and he objects to their landscaping (Clark's), he doesn't have the proper foundation nor has he convinced the owner to do the boring but he wants our PAGE # 4 �approval." James Donovan agreed with Mr. Perlmutter. Discussion on the boring and the wall followed. Chairman Hritz suggested that they get the boring done in the next 30 days, and stated that they were not passing final approval that night. James Donovan commented that Mark DeGennaro had done his job very well. Mr. Turnquist suggested that the Board members walk around the project site.
