David, this is definitely a move in the right direction, but currently the project is proposing tremendous impacts to
surface waters. As I stated in our last meeting, we view the site as a "blank canvas", and thus we will be looking for
extensive avoidance and minimization in your re-submittal. Thanks, Ian McMillan

Ian,
I wanted to update you on our minimization progress. I have included area 6 and 10 in this email. I am still working on
area 8.
Area 6
We were able to make this area work by designing a 2-tier retaining wall. The current design called for a retaining wall
followed by a side-slope to the property line. By installing a second wall near the impact, we can eliminate this impact.
The side-slope will still exist on either side of the second retaining wall. I have attached an exhibit showing this.
Area 10
This is the area near the theater. We have been working through several iterations. I have attached our revised detail in
2 versions. One with the contours turned on and the other turned off. The exercise here was to find a balance between
parking and impact. The following are the parking requirements.
Parking Required aC,. Area 10
Bowling -16 lanes * 4 spaces per lane = 64 spaces
Theater - 2200 seats * 1 space per 3 seats = 733 spaces
Retail - 15000 SF * 3.5 spaces per 1000 SF = 52 spaces
Total required = 849 spaces
Parking Provided (cil Area 10
Previous layout provided = 752 spaces
Current layout provided = 672 spaces
The previous version was under the required parking too, although the Town will also look at the overall parking ratio.
This proposed change has eliminated 80 parking spaces. It makes the disparity between required and provided parking
greater, which we are working through with the tenant. I estimate the alteration has preserved close to 300'.
Please review the attached exhibits and let me know if we are heading in the right direction. As stated above I am
working on area 8 and will send that yet this week.
Thank you,
David
