LA Painting's representative presented a concept plan on May 22 to install two dual-port Level 2 electric-vehicle chargers that would provide four charging outlets at the company's site.

Chad Mutter, of Primetime Business Solutions, told the Planning Board the chargers "are gonna be 50 amp, per port" and that each dual-port pedestal would serve two parking stalls, for a total of four stalls. He said the chargers would connect to an existing 400-amp, three-phase panel and would include precast concrete pads and bollards for protection.

Board members raised multiple site and code issues. A Planning Board member told the applicant, "Parallel parking is not allowed within the town," and said the strip of spaces shown along the building's side are not legal stalls and therefore cannot be used as charging stalls or counted toward parking. The board advised relocating the chargers into existing legal stalls in the rear lot or the front of the building, and requested clearer drawings showing pad dimensions, bollard placement and pedestrian clearances. The applicant said he could move the two side stalls to the back of the lot and provide photos and dimensions.

Other technical details discussed included pad design (precast, flush with pavement), cord management (retractable cords so cords do not remain on the ground), bollard placement (two bollards per pad), and trenching for underground conduit to run power into the building. The board requested the applicant annotate plans to show the pedestal flush with adjacent asphalt and to provide dimensioned, enlarged detail drawings for the pad and bollards.

Planning staff set an application resubmission deadline ahead of the next meeting and asked the applicant to coordinate with staff. The board asked the applicant to contact Planning Department staff (Eric) before re-submitting; the applicant agreed to provide revised drawings early the following week and Chad Mutter said he would share photographs of similar previous installations.

No formal approval or vote was taken; the meeting record shows the board asked for corrected, annotated drawings and site clarifications before further action.
