Hi Guys,
Please find attached the Formal Design Review submittal for 69 residential housing units to be located at the
former Cavalier property at 881 Route 28. Also attached is the Agenda for the DRC meeting which is scheduled for
Tuesday October 18, 2016 at 3:30 PM in the Hearing Room. I am expecting all DRC members except for Dick
Martin. Jack McCormack will be chairing the meeting. I would anticipate that members of the public will be
present, including Attorney David Reid.
The project proponent is trying to design the project in full compliance with the Zoning Bylaw. This requires the
project to meet all the standards as outlined in the attached Architectural and Site Design Standards (or be Not
Applicable). I have also attached the Formal DRC Comments for the withdrawn 120‐unit/commercial proposed
project for your easy reference.
I have reviewed the submittal information and have the following comments, which were relayed to the Applicant:
1. Landscape Plan: On the landscape plan, the trees that are remaining within the buffers need to be
identified with regard to size and type in order to give a full understanding of the buffers being
proposed.
2. Site Lighting: Site lighting needs to be shown on the site plans, along with a cut sheet of the style of
lighting and height.
3. Siding Material for Two Story Building: They have added a third type of siding material to the two‐
story building at the ends (but are not proposing to use it on the three story building). It is a white
cementitious panel with battens to look like wood board and batten. I have requested additional
information on this material and they are sending me a cut‐sheet which I will forward to the DRC. They
are also bringing samples of all siding materials to the meeting.
Please send a reply to me only letting me know you have received this information (some larger files are attached)
and confirm attendance at the meeting.
Thanks,
Kathy
