Informal Discussion -Gregory Mize, 2052 Main Street, Map 17, lot 44; review parking area for Antique Shop.
Present for discussion: Gregory Mize
Mize: Reviewed his letter to the Board and shared his concerns on the parking situation. Mr. Mize presented 2
possible solutions. The first solution would be to build a planting area in the parking lot. This would allow the cars
to pull in parallel to the building and the road. Eliminating the potential to back out onto Rte. 6A; the second
solution would be to remove the shrubs in the front of the building. This would allow a deeper parking area and
thereby provide adequate room so people would not need to back out onto Rte. 6A.
Taylor: Would not like to see option 2 -she would not like to see removal of vegetation
Pierce: Asked how you would designate the parking spaces?
Mize: Could use parking bumpers by the planting area
Taylor: Would you have enough room to back-up? Mize: felt there would be adequate room.
Henchy: Was this the way parking was designated when Mr. Mize purchased the property?
Mize: Yes

Other Business:
Review of existing Planning Board fees: It was noted that the fees have been in place since 2002 and have
