EXHIBITS The review is based upon the following submittals: Exhibit 1: Applicant's Narrative Exhibit 2: Site Plan Exhibit 3: Elevation Diagrams Exhibit 4: Smoking Area Fence Plan Exhibit 5: Trash Enclosure Plan PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant's narrative for the project is found as Exhibit 1. Background. Stillwater Crossing has been on the south west comer of Highway 36 and Osgood since the 1960's.

Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Utilities. No changes are proposed to the parking lot or site that would require review and approval. Signage.

The property serves local businesses that need vehicle access to these thoroughfares and benefit from the visibility to the North and East. Façade Renovation: The façade renovation will enhance the visibility from Hwy 36, improve the building sign visibility and upgrade the overall look while preserving the rock features in the lower façade. Smoking Area: As the smoking cliental is primarily from Carbone's pub,we are requesting to move the bike rack further east and create screened smoking area with access from both the sidewalk and Carbone's pub. Trash/Recycling Enclosure: The center currently uses 2-8 yard bins for recycling and refuse. We propose to build an enclosure behind Liquor Time to the south of transformer. This location will not take up any parking stalls. The design is to have it open on the back so Carbone's and Liquor Time's employees can access the bins without opening the gates,thereby keeping the bins screened except when the trucks come to remove the trash/recycling.
