As a resultplan of this review this Office has a major concern about continuous traffic over the underground fuel tanks and the unloading location. Due to the location of the unloading area there is great concern that a vehicle will run into or over the unloading hoses when the bulk truck is unloading at the site. Currently at this site there is no problem i with the unloading site and there is no traffic crossing the tank pad. The tank pad located above the tanks must meet the requirements of N.F.P.A. 30 chapter 2, section 2-3.2.2 concerning tank coverage subject to traffic. There is no specific requirement for unloading areas. If you should have any questions please feel free to contact the undersigned at the Montville Fire Marshal's Office. spectfully submitted, 01r0,I ' �,I1�`�� yinond T.

Vlaun, AICP Planning Director, Town of Montville FROM: John J. Schmid Planner II/Wetland Agent RE: Hendel's Investors Company, Wetland Issues Dear Marcia: I understand that you are currently reviewing a zoning application and plan from Hendel's Investors Company for a Convenience/Gas/Fast Food Store on Route 32, as revised November 18, 1996. The Town of Montville Inland Wetlands Commission (IWC) has approved a permit for this plan at their November 20, 1996 meeting. I walked the site with IWC Commissioner Rick Larsen in November. It is apparent that over the years a considerable amount of garbage has been dumped on and behind the site, in the wetlands and within the 50 foot buffer. The garbage consists of old tires, furniture, and a TV antennae. While the Montville National Little League (MNLL) owns the property directly behind the site, adjoining the wetland, it appeared to us on the site walk that the BP station that is currently on the site has been the source of this garbage. Access to that section of the wetland behind the site can only be accomplished through the site. I am in the process of obtaining permission to clean the garbage out of the wetland and buffer from the MNLL. Hendel's has committed to cleaning up the garbage on the site as a condition of the wetland permit, but most of the garbage is located just outside of their parcel and on the MNLL property. It seems reasonable to ask the developers of the proposed plan to clean up this area. Any assistance you could give me in getting this site cleaned up would be greatly appreciated; it is truly in the best interest of the town. While this area has been abused in the past, it holds great wetland potential and deserves to be improved. This is an excellent opportunity to do so. Thank you for your assistance.
