Hi Tony,
Attached is a revised drawing showing an exterior walk-in-cooler that they want to
install at Alexander's. This is one of those insulated metal panel coolers that comes
in 3 ft panels and is assembled on site.
have the drawing noted that it is to sit on pressure treated sleepers right on the
ground. This would in my opinion constitute a temporary structure and therefore
not need any zoning control? They would actually like to put this cooler on a cast in
place concrete slab with a 4-ft frost wall.
I have 2 questions for you.
1. Is it ok to put the cooler in this location? It will not effect any parking and
believe they have plenty of parking. I have attached the survey, but Constantine
told me he has more parking than is shown on the drawing. The parking he is
talking about is on the west side of Depot St. in the back. M haven't done the
parking calculations for both Ms Flos and Alexander's but they really have a lot of
parking in the back.
2. Is it ok for them to put this cooler on a permanent concrete slab? The slab
would be flush with the pavement at the building and slightly raised at the outside
edge since the site slopes away from the building.
Thanks, Call me or I will check with you next week.
Best regards,
Tom Douglas
