Motion: To pay the Bristol Office Supply bill - $30.06 (Genatossio - Parsons, all in favor) VOTED Abstained - Kaufman 7, Red Dog Inn - Variance The proposed variance is for a sign at 590 Elm Street. The proposed sign would be six square feet which is larger than the size allowed in an Agricultural Zone. The reason that Philip Sorkin, owner of Red Dog Inn, requests for a larger sign is that because of reduced street lighting, customers have problems seeing the sign at night. The proposed sign would be double faced barnboard with his logo on it. Motion: To disapprove because it is not within keeping of the Zoning By-law. (Flynn - Genatossio) Opposed - DeGirolamo, Parsons, and Brugliera Planning Board's minutes December 30, 1981 Page 3 Motion: To recommend in favor of the Red Dog Inn sign variance to the Zoning Board of Appeals. (Parsons - DeGirolamo) Brugliera - 3-2 motion to approve Opposed - Genatossio, Flynn *Planner DeGirolamo left the meeting. Compo Industries - site plan Ralph Maloon present the proposed plan. Mr. Maloon explained that this is a long range plan of development. He pointed out a number of adA:_ ditions which included a proposed 1982 warehouse, a future expansion on the 1982 building to take place in 1984, and a proposed manufactur- ing facility center to take place in 1985. The set up that Compo is trying to achieve is to have the raw materials enter into the manufac- turing then to the finished goods shop which would be more organized than the set up they presently have. Mr. Maloon also pointed out that the land is very flat. He proposed to shed the water to the left and the right of the site. Planner Parsons pointed out that there are unsightly existing buildings which front on Branch Street and that the storage trailers are in need of being cleaned up. He suggested that an agreement be made between the board and Compo which would insure that Compo cleanup their existing site. Motion: To recommend to the Building Inspector approval of the 1982 building, drainage, and roadway with the understanding that the board will not consider any further expansion of build- ings upon the site until plans to remove unsightly buildings that front on Branch Street have been made and the storage trailers are cleaned up. (Parsons - Genatossio, all in favor) VOTED *Planner DeGirolamo re-entered the meeting. 91 New Transportation - site plan Ralph Maloon presented the plan for the proposed truck depot. This plan consistsof an office, a storage building for parts, and a re- pair shop. It is proposed to have a few parking spaces near the office for employees and to have 36, 50 square foot spaces for trailers. There will also be 12, 30 square foot spaces for trailers. The drainage will be delivered on site by a crushed stone diffusion area. The parking lot would be paved, and there would be approxi- mately 12 trucks entering per day. There were questions brought up by board members regarding what will be stored and for how long. Planner Genatossio asked if the board felt there was a need for put- ting in an oil trap. Planner Parsons said he felt there was because you don't know what type of trucks will be coming in. He also said that he would like to see considerably more information on the plan. Planner Brugliera said he would like to have the applicant come before the board. It was the concensus of the board to hold the site plan for more information. Motion: To send back the site plan for more information, i.e. what would be stored, for how long, traffic flow, and route of traffic. (Brugliera - DeGirolamo, all in favor) VOTED Planning Board's minutes December 30, 1981 Page 4 10. Bay Bank United - Variance Mr. Cramer appeared before the board to explain Bay Bank's request for a variance on the size of a directional sign. The proposed sign would be a nine square foot illuminated sign which would be located at 100 Forbes Blvd. The reason Bay Bank feels that they need a directional sign of this size is because westbound traffic will have limned visibility of the building. Mr. Cramer pointed out that the two freestanding signs which are already there do not exceed the 60 square foot maximum. He also proposed to put a wall sign on the building. There was some discussion as to whether or not a variance was needed on the wall sign; but because the request for the wall sign was not on the Zoning Board of Appeals variance, no action was taken. There was some discussion as to why so many signs were needed. Motion: To recommend that the variance request for the directional sign be granted. (Parsons - DeGirolamo) Opposed - Genatossio, Flynn, and Brugliera Motion: To send a negative recommendation to the Zoning Board of Appeals regarding Bay Bank United's sign variance because it is not within keeping of the sign requirements in an Industrial Zone. (Genatossio - Flynn) Brugliera 3-2 Opposed - Parsons, DeGirolamo 11. Home Developers, Inc. - Special Permit Each board member was given a memorandum regarding additions and corrections to the special permit decision. Paul said that if all of the corrections and additions which were on the memorandum were added to the special permit, he would recommend approval. Planner Genatossio commented about the starting time being 7:00.. She pointed out that when ERE Corporation's decision was made, their starting time was at 8:00. It was pointed out that Home Developers could work within the area at 7:00 but could not go on the road until 8:00. 12. Henley -Lundgren The as -built plan has been submitted. The question that was holding it up was is the board satisfied with the water level. It was the cgncensus of the board to wait for Paul to go over it with the board. 12. Around the Table Planner Genatossio asked about the 1978 Town Meeting vote regarding the Fairfield Optical site. The original 1978 vote had numerous conditions which were to be followed. She asked if these conditions were still in effect. There was some discussion as to what the conditions were and if they are still in effect. 13. Public Discussion Mrs. Jellinek wished everyone a happy new year. Planning Board's minutes December 30, 1981 Page 5 14. Adjournment 9:45 C I✓ . 3 10 /9�l Date
