Hi Jean 
One Solution is not accepting comments at this time, so here is an e-mail:
 
165 Presumpscot Street        425-A-7, 426-A-7, 427-H-4
#2012-604        I-M Zone
10-15-2012
 
The current site is a lumber yard which is a continued use.  In the past it was known as Richard & Dana Lumber Co. So Eldredge Lumber is a continued listed use int the I-M Zone (section #14-247(j)). The project is to do some routine maintenance and repave a portion of existing broken up pavement. they also propose to add a truck loading dock in front of building #1.   The information given shows that the existing impervious surface of the site is 95.6%.  The proposal to repave includes the elimination of some of the existing pavement.  The given information indicates that the impervious surface will be reduced to 76.79%.  The I-M Zone requires any new development to be at a maximum of 75%.  The amount of reducing the legal nonconformity concerning the impervious surface is allowable and encouraged. 
 
The submitted parking assessment shows that two more parking spaces need to be provided.  I will be looking forward to revised plans showing the new parking spaces. 
 
The I-M Zone requires 60' of street frontage.  Again, the primary lot was originally developed without any street frontage.  The owners have purchase a 50' wide street access that affords the property 50' of street frontage on Presumpscot Street.  Again, a legal nonconformity has been reduced and is permitted by ordinance.
 
All other requirements of the I-M Zone are being met such as building height and setbacks.  If there are any other nonconformities, they would be considered legal nonconfomrities.
 
Separate permits are required for any new signage.

Hi Jean,
I forgot to ask about what is intended to be stored in the defined outside storage area?
Thank you,
