Commissioner Carson voiced his concerns about having the use of Farmers Markets by right and suggested this use be by Specific Use Permit instead. Commissioner Carson requested clarification on the landscaping buffer requirements and where they originated. Mr. Hill explained that there are several different planting requirements that are based upon adjacency to either thoroughfares, commercial development, or residential development. Commissioner Hamilton further inquired if the separation between trees listed is due to tree health. Mr. Hoover confirmed that it has to do with the height and ultimate tree canopy the species will have.

Commissioner Carson inquired about the amount of parking being presented on the plan. Mr. Leon explained that their team has worked closely with Town Staff and intend to provide whatever aligns with the Town standards when it is time to submit the Preliminary Site Plan. Chairman Daniel closed the public hearing. Commissioner Furay commented that he had no further objections or issues with the proposed plan apart from the project being too dense. Commissioner Blanscet stated his concerns regarding the proximity of the proposed grocery store to the surrounding homes and that a new location should be found, preferably more interior to the development. Commissioner Jackson commented that when the Preliminary Site Plan is submitted that the number of drive-throughs next to each other is adjusted.
