There were no abutters present. Mr. Ragno addressed nine points of concerns raised by the Planning Board at the last meeting. 1. It was believed that because there was a capped landfill and the cap cannot be disturbed it was unlikely that the property would be redeveloped for residential use in the future. 2. The request for outdoor storage was withdrawn. 3. The signs using internal illumination would be halo-lit with raised lettering and logos or backlit acrylic lettering and logos, which have less light pollution and more aesthetically pleasing. 4. The PTDM plan notes the applicant’s commitment to the REV Shuttle Service, as well as, a plan to reduce the amount of single occupant vehicles entering the site to a maximum goal of 85%. 5. All the proposed landscaping would be drought resistant once established, but would have limited irrigation for plant establishment for two years. The front lawn and the central open space would have irrigation.
