Eric Bartles of Wegmans Food Markets, Inc presented staff and Board members with several renderings of the proposed 509+/- sq. ft. addition to be located at the rear loading dock. The construction is necessary due to expanded electrical needs as a result of increased cooking in the Market.

The addition is proposed along the back corner of the existing retaining wall and would house an electrical distribution panel. A garage door is proposed for the addition to allow an extra bay for deliveries. In addition, a rooftop HVAC system would be placed between 2 existing units.

Mr. Wigg asked if the proposed addition would be attached to the current loading dock and Eric said yes.
Jeff House inquired about lighting and noise. Mr. Bartles explained no additional lighting was proposed and a 10' wooden noise barrier exists in a nearby stand of pines. The HVAC system would be quieter than the existing units.

Mr. House opened the hearing to the public and Manju Das of Leeward Lane also inquired about noise. Eric indicated the noise level would not change with this addition.

There was no further public comment.
