Ms. Carson reported that the Boy Scouts had made some modifications to their approved site plan which were beyond what she could approve as minor changes to the plans.

 

The Commission reviewed the revisions to the plans which switched the area of the rear parking lot with the septic system location, and put the handicapped parking spaces in front of the building switching the handicapped ramp into the building.  A bump out was added to the back of the building and now everything beyond the front parking lot will be gravel instead of pavement to conserve lot coverage, which was lowered from 24.3% to 12%.  The lighting has also been taken care of per the Town Engineer.

 

A motion was made by Ray Hafford, seconded by Wes Smith, and unanimously voted to approve the modifications to the Special Use Permit and Site Plan for the Boy Scout Hall at 78 Battle Street.
