This is dated January 26, 1989. I’ll only post the portion that applies to this cinema:
VERMONT ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD
“The design of the proposed cinema has been a source of controversy between the Permittees and the Town of Dover Planning Commission. At the hearing on these two parties presented the hearing panel with a revised proposal which the Permittees and the Dover Planning Commission each stated was acceptable. As currently proposed, the cinema will be 29 feet high in front and 32 feet high in the rear. Only nineteen feetof this height is needed for the actual cinema. The additional feet are provided for a roof structure which includes a peaked roof stretching down the center from front to rear. The roof will be of metal. This roof proposal represents a change which the Permittees have made to address the concerns of the Dover Planning Commission. Initially the cinema proposal included a flat roof.
The cinema will be 4,864 square feet and of steel construction with concrete block bearing walls. To further address concerns of the Dover Planning Commission, the Permittees have agreed to place clapboards on the exterior of the concrete walls. The cinema will be approximately 200 feet from the closest edge of Route 100.
The front of the cinema will consist of a porch-like structure leading into the main part of the cinema. The structure will be approximately nineteen feet high at its tallest elevation and eight feet long. Facing it will appear to consist of three parts. On each of the right and left sides will be one rectangular box-like component, with windows, doorways, and flat roofs. In the center will be a structure of approximately half the width of one of the box-like components. This will be several feet higher than the roofs of the box-like components. The upper part of this middle portion will consist of a peaked roof. The peak of this roof will be at the midpoint of the width of the cinema when fayed from the front, as will be the peaked roof of the main part of the cinema. The wall immediately behind the peaked roof will consist of a row of windows above which will be a panel made of exolite. The roof of the porch-like structure and several other sections of this structure also will be made of exolite.
The cinema clapboard will be painted tan. Trim on the cinema will be dark brown. Fascia will be blue".
