HELEN (DAUGHTERS OF CHARITY) (UP -340-70) - Review for Compliance with Original Plot Plan. Staff presented a general review of the Site Plan for the Seton House Convent noting the revised irregular shape provides a series of broken planes which provides more aesthetic appeal as opposed to the original overwhelming effect. Mr. Ciampi reviewed his architectural drawings for the planned construction and he noted the exterior would utilise natural wood extensively. The Commission discussion noted the office space accommodated 16 persons, the Convent would include 50 bedrooms plus 2 guest rooms, and rather than an expensive asphalt parking lot, parking was planned along the driveway under the trees. The applicant noted that although it was originally planned to sewer from Altamont Road, they have JW since decided to join with lands of Ferrari and sewer via Moody Road, since it would better serve their needs. Mr. Fritschle stated that the developers were paying for this line and no district formation was planned. Commission consensus was that the facilities appeared to be in line with the accepted density of 70 residents.
