decision on a project re- designed to focus on creating a roof line consistent with the height
and design of adjacent structures, using wood or other materials (but not metal) for exterior
siding to soften the exterior, developing a design consistent with the Town's historical
heritage, and ensuring that an evergreen tree comparable in growth rate and size to a
Sycamore tree is planted in the rear parking area to screen the residential neighbors.
