Hello Marc,
 
I am responding to your request to know if there were any "big" issues that have come up as part of the Site Plan Review;  I am out of the office this afternoon so thought I would outline the main review comments so far;   (I will write a comprehensive review letter in the next couple of days once I receive all reviewer comments in writing):
 
Right, Title and Interest:  the City's Associate Corporation Counsel (based on a review of the submitted ME Sec of State papers etc) requests that Poulin Financial Services LLC be co-applicant and that the application form be amended accordingly;
In accordance with the ordinance, staff require a bituminous sidewalk to be constructed along the edge of the curb along the frontage (it will not conflict with the trees) -  a detail is below;
A sidewalk from the building to the new street-side sidewalk should also be provided;
The small curb cut in the middle of the frontage (not the main drive) should be closed with curbing (a detail will be provided);
A licensed surveyor should install the two rear property pins in the vacated Katadin Street and supply the tie distance to the angle point easterly of the site along the side line of Warren Ave;
Two (2) bicycle parking hitches should be provided;
Need information on the exterior materials of the addition;
Need letter of financial capability (checked on the checklist but not enclosed);
Need detail of dumpster gates.
Please note that these are preliminary comments and are not comprehensive - they do not include the Zoning Administrator or City Arborist comments;  also the project does not meet some of the City's traffic and parking standards eg re driveway widths etc but we will waive these in this case.
 
I will be in the office all day tomorrow and please do not hesitate to call if any questions.
 
Jean
