Re-open Site Plan review for Pan’s Pizza (Sani Pasagic) – 23-48-RT326
- Maxham re-opened the hearing from April 12, 2023. Sani Pasagic and Alex Zolotas introduced themselves and were sworn in. Mr. Pasagic t old the Board that a bicycle rack was added to the site plan in the back of the building, adjoining property owners were added to the plan in addition to locations of lighting and signage. Metal stock tanks will delineate the boundary of the outdoor seating in front of the restaurant and will include signage for parking. The HC parking space will be the proper ADA width. The walkway between the expanded restaurant and Arbor Farm Market will be well lit and include signage directing people from the back parking area to the entrances to the businesses in front.
- Maxham suggested that the front parking spots be reserved for take-out only. Eat-in parking should be in the back. Will there be a need for more customer and employee parking in the back? Is the number of lights enough? Alex Zolotas stated that more lights can be added – one on the northeast corner of Arbor Farm Market? What are the dimensions of the outdoor patio? 10’x40’. The size of the new restaurant area will be 60’x30’ (includes the deck).
- Welch asked about parking for the other businesses in the adjoining buildings. Could a parking space for Attorney Matt Little be in the back to free up an available space for a client in front? Will the outdoor tables be removed in the winter? The Applicants agreed. The tables and border troughs will be removed to allow for plowing in the winter. That seating will be indoors when the outdoor tables are removed.
The Board asked that the site plan be updated to include the date of preparation, additional lighting for the back parking area, dumpster location, and additional parking in the back.
