639 Route 28 (5 Appleby Road), Seagull Beach Motel
1.
Design Review is mandatory on this project and short of the proposed dormers, not
shown but agreed to in discussion with Kathy, there does not appear to be any attempt to
improve the appearance of the two story building fronting on Route 28. The flat roof, the
mismatched siding, the corner door which will eventually be in a bedroom, the lack of
and the arrangement of windows on the west side all need to be addressed by the
applicant and an architect. This property, situated on the corner of two streets is very
visual and there has to more of an effort to bring the structure into compliance with the
Standards.
2.
Along with the three dormers suggested by the applicant on this long structure, I would
suggest some variation along the long façade with the appearance of half beams set on
the wall face at even intervals.
3.
The attempt to maximize the apartment yield results in a parking layout that will be
problematic for the tenants. 90 degree 9’x18’ stalls and a 20 foot aisle is not a workable
design. The applicant should consider reducing the number of apartments, 45 degree
parking stalls, and as Kathy suggested, one way traffic entering from the northerly curb
cut and exiting from the southerly access. This would also increase the landscape buffer
dimensions.
4.
Agree with Kathy’s memo.
5.
Agree with Kathy’s memo. The applicant should add a snow removal/storage design to
the plans
6.
Agree with Kathy’s memo.
7.
Agree with Kathy’s memo. There are no existing elevations or contours on the plan??
The applicant should provide these required elements and what is currently happening
with runoff from both the roof and the parking lot.
8 & 9.
Agree with Kathy’s memo.
