Matt Clark, shop fronts – recessed door entryways, didn’t see that in the regulations addressed. Tim Love, fronting means from back of the building to sidewalk. Haven’t addressed overhang vestibules in buildings, probably allowed per zoning guideline. Jim Kupfer, doesn’t expressly state that type of construction. Tim Love, usually entries are pushed back, maybe put in guidelines with minimum dimensions. Kevin Matthews, this is probably community policing issue, but should probably have a setback amount. If brought up maybe discuss at that time. Tim Love, maybe have a middle ground and some dimensions. Tom Doherty, lighting? Not a lot of info for this. Tim Love, lighting. Have language about appropriateness. Jim Kupfer, did add some language for site considerations, pg. 42, under section e. Also pg. 45, talking about public spaces. Seasonal, safety and security, light levels. Light pollution. Public space on Main Street. Buildings right up to sidewalk, plant street trees and Town maintains. Tom Doherty, wall art? Jim Kupfer, designs in public spaces. Pg. 42 to 45. This is public space consideration as opposed to developer coming in. Kevin Matthews, regulations for colors are hard and fast, clarifies. Wall art are more like guidelines. Can distinguish between regulations and guidelines. Confirms grandfathered in for existing. Chair Cheryl Powell clarifies have existing buildings so can work with people moving forward. Flexibility and take away the rigidity. Colors. Jim Kupfer, as of now, whatever is in existence, they can repaint as they have, but if want to paint one not painted have to get approval. Case by case basis. Tim Love, Commission can grant a waiver. Jack Kay, zero lot line, can have canopies projecting over the public way? Jim Kupfer, yes potentially could do if granted. Zoning is continuing, just expanding to East Main Street and the area there. Zero setbacks isn’t new. Discussion re coverings. Tom Doherty, solar panels in the document? Storage, allowed/units? Jim Kupfer, not allowed in the harbor district. Self storage is prohibited. Don’t specify other types of storage. This is zoning. 4 Jim Kupfer, if HHDC would make a motion to recommend going forward for public review. Then can provide that both PB and HHDC has reviewed.
