PlanningBoard | 2014-03-24 | 4 | He stated the planter boxes seem to work with the building. He expressed concerns with solar not being the best way to go with AMP. Mr. Thomas commented on staff looking at a flat roof on the Fire Station is a good option for solar. President Burton commented on the backside of the building, and that the side elevations don't show the same detail, which should be fixed on the plans. Board member Alvarez-Morroni suggested a sign on the front is a good idea, and the tree could become a maintenance issue. She agrees an alternative energy source is best. Vice President Henneberry motioned to approve the staff recommendations to include three trees in front, signage in front of the building, and stone on the back of the building. And when the fire station comes back, both buildings will include an energy alternative. Board member Alvarez-Morroni seconded. Board member Zuppan stated the energy alternative is a good idea, and this is important because this is an emergency center. Motion carried, 5-1-0 (opposed Knox White) 7.B.

He asked if the super market parking lots are fully used and could they be shared. Ms. Ott stated this isn't currently part of the Plan, but certainly can be looked at.
