This is a follow-up to Permanent Link to Derry Scott Asking for Variances. I spent some time going over the proposed site plan. I also spoke with the developer and the consultant, and went to see the site. Finally, I drove back n’ forth on Derry and Scott to try to envision the plaza all built.
At this point I am satisfied provided that the developer adds some additional landscaping (especially trees). I will work with the site approver to push for that.
Breakdown:
It’ll still have enough parking spots. Though the setback is reduced, it has pond at the back (I know, it seems like pond is on the side but apparently that’s the back). Loading bay door is partially screened by the TD Bank building. It has an acoustic fence next to it that should screen it from Derry.
Personally I would’ve preferred no loading dock at all since they are not planning for a restaurant, but apparently it’s required.
I appreciate all the time several folks spent on the phone and e-mail with me.
