4. Concerning the slumpstone, he stated staff may not be aware <br />that the applicant owns an easement that runs right between two <br />lots on the site (currently owned by Edgren). Mr. Hirst showed <br />the Commissioners the easement location on the map. He stated this <br />refers to condition #4 of the staff report. <br />5. Mr. Hirst stated he agrees that the area to the rear of Building <br />E and that it be maintained, however, would like to use the <br />adjacent building for access as opposed to putting in an outside <br />doorway in Building E. He stated they did not want a hallway <br />through the building. <br />He further stated they are amending the plan to show a parapet <br />in Building E. <br />6. Concerning condition #8, Mr. Hirst stated he was not sure of <br />this condition in that he did not feel an agreement concerning <br />reconstruction of curb, gutter and sidewalk, together with <br />necessary tree removal, utility relocation and tie-in paving <br />across the Main Street frontage of the subject property should <br />be addressed at design review. <br />Mr. Hirst stated it would be a long time before Main Street is <br />widened in this area. <br />The public hearing was closed. <br />Commissioner Getty agreed with Mr. Hirst concerning the planter walkway. <br />She also stated she did not believe a loading berth would be necessary <br />inasmuch as most deliveries are of the U.P.S. type and not large trucks. <br />Mr. Harris stated that if there is no loading berth, a variance must be <br />approved prior to design approval. Commissioner Jamieson asked that <br />the applicant come forward again and explain his views concerning this, <br />i.e., whether he wanted this matter continued for a variance or whether <br />he wished to proceed. Commissioner Wilson suggested that a loading <br />berth be designated on the plan so that this project could proceed. <br />Commissioner Jamieson concurred. <br />Mr. Harris addressed Mr. Hirst's concerns. He stated staff recommended <br />condition #2 because they didn't feel this area would be used for a <br />walkway and the civic overlay district requires 10$ landscaping and this <br />planter strip would help meet this requirement. He stated the development <br />as proposed has just about 10~ and an additional planter strip would be <br />helpful. Mr. Harris stated it wouldn't make too much difference one <br />way or the other if the Commission allowed this to become a walkway. <br />Concerning the slumpstone wall, he stated the Civic Overlay District <br />requires a masonry wall and that currently there are two dissimilar <br />fences on the property and that the Valley Bank was required to put one <br />in next door. Further the two houses mentioned have been occupied for <br />-4- <br />
