Minutes

Mr. Ragan asked if there were any corrections or additions to the minutes for 4/9/08, and due to computer-related problems, a motion was made by Jack Weber and seconded by Bob Barto, to table the minutes until the PC workshop meeting on 5/29/08.  The motion was approved unanimously.

Logue Subdivision – Final Subdivision

Changes are being made to the plans per comments by the Road Enhancement Committee; a 4’ shoulder and 3:1 bank.  An O&M for the on-lot septic system is also needed.         

A-Plus/Sunoco

Discussions about suggested architectural plans for the Board to consider at the upcoming conditional use hearing on 5/20/08.  Three (3) Sunoco representatives were present and they presented several building and canopy options.  The different options were considered by the PC, and then recommendations to the Board were made as follows:

  • Canopy style depicted on Sunoco drawing marked A-7
  • Building as depicted on Sunoco drawing marked 1, minus yellow band  and adding a full knee wall
  • On the sides & rear of building, use EP Henry block that looks like brick
  • No vinyl fencing; colonial-style fencing
  • Generator hook-ups for generator to be brought in to actually run pumps in the event of a power failure (not necessarily to full capacity; just enough              to run pumps)
  • Shingles on canopy roof to match building roof shingles

                        (Materials are listed on Sunoco drawing 1)

A Motion to recommend the above items was made by Peg Healy and seconded by Jack Weber.  Member Mary Ann Steel voted in favor of recommendations; Bob Barto abstained due to his Board of Supervisor position.
