.t-t -iy»KiBy CONSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION - page 2 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. would be near the split rail fence on a free-standing post with a changeable message area to identify items in season or special offers. If would be high enough so as not to obstruct the view of right—turning traffic. The third would be at the parking lot entrance with the market name^ logo and an 'ENTRANCE* arrow to help get the traffic off the road as quickly as possible. MOVE THE MAIN ENTRANCE TO THE CENTER OF THE WEST END OF THE BUILDING. This promotes better circulation inside the market. One existing door will be removed, the new entrance will be enlarged from an existing door and other doors will remain as emergency exits. REMOVE THE INTERIOR WALL PARALLEL TO THE WEST OUTSIDE WALL OF THE BUILDING. This eliminates congestion around the relocated entrance and promotes better circulation Inside the market. ELIMINATE THE APARTMENT AND THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE RESIDENT TO BE PART OF THE BUSINESS. There is very little work and storage space outside of the retail area. The space now occupied by the apartment would make the operation more efficient and preclude the danger of unsightly outdoor storage. Neither of the previous two users had anyone living in the apartment. It is not an attractive area for living quarters and would not draw a high quality occupant. If the occupant had to be associated with the business, the people available to rent the apartment would be even more limited. Since both of us live on and operate farms that will contribute produce to the market, it is not feasible or deslreable for either of us to live in the building. The bathroom in that area will be reinstalled and made available for use by employees and customers. INSTALL A SPLIT RAIL DECORATIVE FENCE AROUND THE BUILDING. This fence would start at the northeast corner of the outdoor sales area, run south to the property line, west across the south edge of the property, around the west and north perimeter to a point approximately even with the cold storage building. The entrance to the parking lot would be clearly Identified by the opening in the fence (and the sign previously described) and the fence would additionally contribute to the atmosphere of the market. INSTALL A SOLID FENCE ACROSS THE NORTH SIDE OF THF OUTDOOR SALES AREA. This would be approximately 6'-0" high (or as allowed by ordinance) and would be a background for the outside products such as pumpkins, Christmas trees, etc. This fence also screens the compressors, garbage cans, and similar items from public view. Along with the split rail fence, it delineates the outdoor sales area and helps control customer circulation. LANDSCAPING. We will clean up and dispose of the debris around the building, seed it down and mow the area to keep it as attractive as possible. The above is what we consider Important to create the kind of atmosphere that will be attractive for our customers and improve the chances of the business being successful. This will also make the property a more attractive part of the community. The modifications proposed could actually make it possible to convert the existing building to a residence if or when that action became necessary. We believe this proposal is in the best Interests of ourselves, the property owner and the Orono community. We request your approval of this application. 4 I* i ■h.
