Ch 40B Comprehensive Permit – Petition #5193

abutting a residential zoning district that should be retained, in addition to supplemental plantings
and possibly a fence. Utilities such as the transformer & emergency gas generator also need to be
screened from Route 28. There are no buffer plantings shown at all along the western property
line.
8. Architecture: The architecture is not remotely Cape Cod in style and does not match the Town’s
vision for Route 28. The rear of the building faces Route 28 and the plainest, flattest side
elevations front along Pine Grove. Different materials, possible roof pitch or more detailed
cornice, and overall improvement of the elevations facing the public ways should be required.
The third building in the rear of the property should be reduced to a 2-story structure to scale
down the building as the project moves into the residential neighborhood.
9. Future Project Changes: If approved by the ZBA, any significant subsequent changes to the
project should require a permit amendment.
Thank you for the opportunity for the Planning Board to provide these comments ahead of your
public hearing on September 25th.
