April 30, 2007

Present: Rick Smith (Chair), Bill Brooks, A. Jay Kenlan, Bill Scranton, Bob Soule, John West, Missy Whitmore  

Guests: Holly Keeler, Bonnie & Gary Butler, Dennis Smith, Eric Davenport  

Call to Order: Rick Smith called the meeting to order at 7:00 P.M.

This meeting was called to consider the site plan for the renovations to the Wallingford Locker on Florence Avenue . The meeting was warned and abutting property owners received notice under statute. The applicant and new owner of the Locker, Holly Hagenlocher Keeler, gave a presentation of the planned changes. No evidence was introduced except by the applicant.  

Ms. Keeler said that they plan to increase retail space by using some of the space currently taken by personal lockers. They will also bring the shop and the upstairs apartments up to fire and safety codes. A handicap access to the shop will be added at the front of the building. The wiring will be re-done and smoke alarms will be hard-wired into the apartments. The rise of the stairs at the center of the building leading up to the apartments was too steep to meet code, so it will be extended outward from the front of the building and make a left turn to join with the landing at the shop entrance. The entire new entrance and ramp will be covered. The parking in front of the building will not change. They will also add a fire-egress window and ladder to the western apartment.  

They will be adding some shielded lighting to the front of the building for illumination during customer hours in the winter months. Motion sensor lights will be added for apartment access. They will be keeping the same business hours as established by the Courcelle Brothers, and also the same phone number and recipes.  

Motion to approve the site plan was made by Jay Kenlan with the condition that they check with the neighbors when putting up the outdoor lights to ensure they aren’t shining in any windows. Seconded by Bill Scranton.  Passed unanimously.  

Motion to adjourn made by Jay Kenlan, seconded by Missy Whitmore.

Meeting adjourned at 7:50 P.M.  

Respectfully submitted,

Bill Brooks, Acting Clerk
