Dunkin Donuts, Main Street, Site Plan Modification, Map 17, Lot 61 :
Bob Stewart, Jr., RCS Design represented Dunkin Donuts. Phil LaMoreaux, Chair advised at the last hearing there were a few remaining items outstanding that the board asked for more information on. 1. Lighting, to be depicted for the signs. Also, it has come to the attention of the board that DES had inquired if the septic system is adequate for the design. Bob Stewart, Jr. RCS Design advised there had been a meeting, resulting in the decision that there is plenty of storage and volume there. The concern was the pre-treatment of organics (mainly coffee), resulting in an amended plan that needs to be submitted to DES. Marcia Keller questioned if what was originally put in for a septic system was more than twice the size of the original design? Bob Stewart, Jr., RCS Design advised, that what was originally designed was designed more than twice the required size, for the very reason for extension, and/or as a huge safety factor, knowing it was going to be put under a parking lot. It is a very good product, being enviro-septic. Extra tanks and extra filtering system were installed as well. This result will be, when the foundation is done, there will be a tank outside and there would be a dedicated sink for those spoils. Bob Stewart, Jr, RCS Design also advised the well is an EPA registered well.
Lighting and Signage another issue.
Bob Stewart,Jr advised the operator of Dunkin Donuts has decided to not put an internally illuminated sign in. The same size sign will be put in, but will be externally lit. All lighting will be going downward. PSNH has been contacted, and they will put in a light on an existing pole, which was on initial plan, but never completed.
Phil LaMoreaux, Chair opened the floor to public comment. Andrew Pinard, Selectman advised the applicant has been very good about trying to fit lighting, traffic pattern etc. into the community and he would approve the application. There being no further comments, the public comments were closed.
Motion was made by Jim Bibbo to approve the Dunkin Donuts application with the following revisions to be met as conditions of approval.
1. Revised no number 9 on original application.
2. Internally illuminated sign on building to show it to be Externally illuminated.
3. Septic being approved.
4. Number 15, prior to occupancy permit revised.
5. Revisiting parking if becoming a problem.
Marcia Keller seconded the motion. Barbara Vannata abstained. Motion carried. 4-0.
Phil LaMoreaux, Chair thanked Dunkin Donuts representatives for being compromising.
