The village location suits smaller scale unit construction, or infill, or reuse.

A strip mall? Really? Are there pictures of this project or something online so we can look at the design of the building?

I'm trying to figure where exactly on School St. this building will be going... but at the same time, you mention "smaller scale unit construction" - have you really looked closely at the houses on that street? Many have multiple-generations of additions and are HUGE multi-family homes, complete with barns, out buildings, etc.
