Hendel 's Investors Company seeks to locate a convenience gasoline station/fast food outlet on Route 32 in Uncasville. My clients have several objections to this proposal: 1 . First, a fast food outlet is specifically prohibited in the neighborhood commercial zone. Section 11 .2 .4 allows restaurants "excluding fast food service establishments" . Section 11.3. 1 allows "convenience gasoline sales establishments" but nothing in the definition of a convenience gasoline sales establishment suggests that a fast food outlet is permitted. Therefore, to the extent the special permit seeks approval for a fast food outlet, it violates the regulations and should be denied. 2 . The neighborhood commercial zone has recently been the subject of a proposed amendment to a C-1 zone. We understand you may act on the proposed amendment this evening. It is entirely appropriate for you to reject applications, such as this, which are forwarded to you on the eve of a major zone change. You can and should take the position that a specially permitted use should be assessed in light of the pending zoning amendments and not be accepted under the old regulations. In many ways, such a proposal might help Hendel 's Investors Company by reduction in frontage; in other ways, it might make the application more challenging for the applicant and more acceptable to the town. In either event, it is fair for all involved that new regulations are utilized. Bartinik, Gianacoplos, Brown, Air & Weiss, P. C. • Planning and Zoning Commission tdb/elm October 22, 1996 899de1.101 Page -2- 3. The site is being extensively developed and requests a couple of waivers regarding driveway size pursuant to Section 19 . 8 .4 . First, the applicant seeks a thirty-six ( 36 ' ) foot wide driveway at the right-of-way line. Second, the applicant seeks two driveway cuts, but does not provide the required two-hundred (200 ' ) feet frontage. We would respectively suggest that both of these requests arise from the desire of the applicant to utilize virtually all of the property for building parking or traffic lanes. A less intense, more appropriate use of the property might be more in keeping with the zoning regulations. 4 . The rear of the property shows two traffic lanes passing quite close to the property line. Wetlands are located immediately to the rear of the property, and we question whether adequate buffer is being provided for those wetlands. We understand the wetlands commission is reviewing this application and may wish to comment on such intense development within proximity of the wetlands. Please enter this letter in the record.
