7 December 12, 2016 Dunstan Village Residential Building Site Plan Application Narrative. Dear Jay, Introduction: We are pleased to submit on behalf of Dunstan Properties, LLC the Project Narrative in support of the Site Plan Review Application for the Residential Buildings at Dunstan Village, Stewart Drive US Route 1 Scarborough. The proposed residential buildings include the 3-story apartment building H-5 and Townhouse Apartment buildings, H-1 through H-4. The buildings and site improvements are part of the previously approved Master Plan for Dunstan Village. The Site Plans, Architectural Floor Plans and Elevations were reviewed by the Planning Board at their workshop meeting in September Project Narrative: A. Intended Uses The intended uses include a 3-story apartment building with 34 apartments (2 two-bedroom and 32 onebedroom) and four townhouse apartment buildings with 3 two-bedrooms units each (12 apartments total). Each building is provided with adjacent surface parking. B. Existing Site Conditions The apartment buildings are part of the previously approved Master Plan for Dunstan Village. The proposed residential sites are in the northeasterly half of the overall Master Plan. This portion of the existing site is generally open with some successional tree growth. The site preparation for the site includes gently grading the site with the excess soil being used to prepare the restaurant site on the southerly side of Stewart Drive. The abutting property to the north and east are zoned TVC and VR2 Residential.

Setbacks are 15 ft. except where abutting the VR2 Residential District to the rear, they are increased to 25 ft. It is our understanding that the TVC provides for negotiation with the planning board for reductions is buffer areas. Additional landscaping has been placed in the side yard setback between Building H-5 and the property line for buffering although the adjacent property is also zone TVC. Parking Calculation 2. Building - Apartments (Zoning Section XI Off-street parking) Building Units Ratio Req Parking Reg H-5 Apartment 2-Bedroom 2 2 spaces/unit 4 1-Bedroom sps/unit 48 Total 52 H1-H4 2-Bedroom 12 2 spaces/unit 24 Total Lots D-G 112 Spaces Provided D. Special Exceptions or permits required; None known. 76 parking spaces E. On and Offsite Improvements The proposed site improvements and landscaping are shown on L101 Overall Landscape Plan, L301 H-5 Apartment Building Landscape Plan and L401 Townhouse Landscape Plans. See Civil drawings prepared by Sebago Technics for Site Layout, Grading & EC, and Utilities. The Residential Buildings are oriented to the Central Green Space/ Town Common with the 3-Story Apartment Building anchoring the central axis and the Town House Apartments flanking each side of the green space. Off-street parking is provided behind and adjacent to the respective buildings with walkways connecting to the apartment buildings and Dunstan Village sidewalks. On-street parking is provided adjacent to the Central Green Space and in front of Building H-5 but are intended for visitors. A mixed evergreen buffer is proposed along the northeasterly lot boundary with the adjacent TVC zoning district to buffer building H-5. The evergreen trees will range in height to 6 ft. deciduous trees are 2-1/2 caliper for overstory trees and 1-1/2 caliper for flowering trees. Off-site improvements include the construction of Stewart Drive for access from Route 1 and connection to the Dunstan Crossing Neighborhood and future Dunstan Village development.

9 Jay Chace, Planner Dunstan Village Residential Building Site Plan Review December 12, F. Description of Traffic Movements The Traffic Impact analysis has been prepared by Sebago Technics, Inc. A Memorandum dated December 09, 2016 regarding a Trip Generation Comparison Between Dunstan Crossing Phases 5&6 and Dunstan Village Restaurant, Apartments and Townhouses prepared by Stephen Sawyer, PE is attached. The Applicant intends to use the existing trips previously approved for Dunstan Crossing Phases 5&6 for Dunstan Village restaurant, apartments and townhouse apartment with the understanding that the Traffic Movement Permit process is ongoing. G. Stormwater The stormwater design has been prepared by Shawn Frank, P.E., Senior Project Engineer Sebago Technics, Inc. The overall stormwater detention and treatment of runoff from the project has been included within the previously approved Dunstan Crossing Subdivision. The stormwater design of this site consists of the installation a series of catch-basins within the parking areas to intercept the runoff and direct it to the proposed municipal drainage system within Stewart Drive via subsurface storm drains. In coordination with MDEP and the Town Engineer, the roof runoff will be connected to a subsurface underdrain system to infiltrate the initial roof runoff into the ground with an overflow connection to the storm drain system. H. Lighting All area lighting streets and sidewalks is LED with full cutoff. The light poles and fixtures are Towne Common similar to those used at Dunstan Crossing (see drawing L102) including bracket mounted decorative fixtures on 15- ft. poles placed in the bump-outs along Stewart Drive and post mounted decorative fixtures in front of residential buildings and along other sidewalks. Kim Warp9s LED fixtures on 12 ft. poles are used in the parking areas. See drawing SL101, Site Lighting/ Photometric Plan prepared by Swaney Lighting Associates. Site Lighting has been addressed comprehensively for the entire Master Plan including the residential sites and adjacent parking and streets. I. Architecture & Signage The proposed H-5 Apartment Building is a three story, 20 ft. tall building with sloped roof and rich detailing to reflect the traditional New England aesthetic. Exterior finished include stone base, architectural vinyl clapboard siding and vinyl, cedar shingle banding. Trim is solid PVC and roof shingles are architectural grade asphalt. Material sample will be provided at the Planning Board meeting. The proposed H1-H4 Townhouse Apartment buildings are set up with individual entrance porches fronting on a shared courtyard. The exterior finishes will be traditional New England aesthetic with sloped roofs and vinyl clapboard siding and solid pvc trim. Please note that the end walls facing adjacent streets

Please see Drawing L101 and L102 for the design detail for the central stone monument to be located on Stewart Drive at the center of the Village which will be inscribed with Dunstan Village letters stacked vertically.
