Hi Guys,
Please find attached the packet information for Luke’s Liquors along with my comments below. As you may recall, they
came before us last year for a metal building along the east side of the property (See attached Old Design plan). They
are now proposing to locate the building west of the of existing structure. The building type remains the same, a metal
building with very shallow roof pitch.
1. Buffers and Plantings:
a. Now that the building is closer to Camp Street and no buffer trees can be planted along Camp Street to
allow for utility access, some trees along the west side of the building may be warranted to screen the
metal building and parking.
b. Southern end of the property abuts an R40 Zoning District. Parking for more than 5 cars needs to be
screened from the residential district with densely planted shrubs. Fences may be a part of such
screening. There is concern about the location of plantings under the overhead utilities, which may be
adversely impacted by utility spraying.
c. Supplement as needed buffer plantings on the north side of the property.
d. In‐Lot Trees: Two trees at the end of the parking do not constitute in‐lot trees.
2. Applicant should confirm they have the right to locate parking, landscaping and drainage within the Cape &
Vineyard 100’ Electric Easement.
3. Applicant needs to address proposed drainage improvements within a ROW that is outside of the property
boundaries.
4. Building Architecture: There is none. Just a square metal box with a very shallow roof.
I will send some information on 31 Aarons way in a separate e‐mail. See you Tuesday at 4.
Thanks and have a great weekend!
Kathy
