Mr. Rerko said he felt the applicant did a good job incorporating pre-submission <br />recommendations and looked forward to seeing the finished product. His only concern is the <br />conceptual signage shown is excessive. Mr. Malone said the landscape enhancements are well <br />designed as are the plantings chosen. The pinched centers of the beds flanking the entrance of <br />the front should have Stella D'Oro Daylilies in lieu of the reed grass. The southwest Norway <br />spruce near the building should be replaced with a honey locust which will do better in that size <br />planting bed. Ms. Meredith read Mr. Parry's email which said he was in favor of the variances <br />as the building modifications enhance the area as does the landscaping. Mr. Mahoney said he <br />welcomed the additions and the fact the area is being redeveloped. Ms. Nader said she enjoyed <br />seeing the larger landscape islands and plant sizes as well as landscaping along the roadway. <br />The comrnission felt the 3 ft. 3 in. variance for front yard setback was minimal and the special <br />permit should be granted as the redevelopment enhances not only the mall area but the roadway <br />as well. The commission questioned the anticipated opening and Mr. Badalamenti said they <br />were hoping to turn the building over in May or June of 2012. <br />Ms. Meredith inoved, seconded by Mr. Rerko, to recommend the BZA grant CMS11-25 <br />Burlington Coat Factory of Great Northern Plaza South a special permit and variances as <br />required as they are minimal, vahich passed 5-0. <br />Ms. Meredith moved, seconded Mr. Rerko, to approve the development plan for CMS11-25 <br />Burlington Coat Factory of Great Northern Plaza South incorporating Mr. Malone's two <br />landscaping changes, which passed 5-0. <br />Elect Chair and Vice Chair <br />1VIr.
