(M/B/L 002-005-00D), Oakdale, CT – Applicant, Craig Potter - MXI – Owner, Potter Realty V, LLC for Site Plan Review for Light Industrial Property Improvements Above-referenced application is for site plan approval for improvements to an existing light industrial site. The site is an existing lot located on 0.94 acres (40,946SF) in the Light Industrial (LI) zoning district with 136.36 feet of frontage on Enterprise Ln. The site is not located in the coastal area management or a flood hazard area and there are no regulated wetlands and/or watercourses. The site is located in a public water supply watershed. The property contains a 1,627 +/- square foot building and the previous use of the lot had been for the office and equipment storage area for a driveway company. As indicated in the narrative “The plan depicts improvements to the subject property intended to better accommodate the business and achieve zoning compliance.” The former owner had a site plan to remedy violations but that was never completed prior to the sale of the property. The new narrative states “that the proposed improvements include: modifications to the existing parking and circulation drives including creating 2 defined entrances separated by a landscaped island and a new paved apron; modifications to the existing paved parking lot to achieve zoning and ADA compliance; restoration of existing compacted gravel access for continued use as equipment parking and outdoor storage; construction of a concrete dumpster pad and a 5’ x 5’ concrete pad adjacent to the access door of the easterly side of the building; construction of 136’ of 6’ high vinyl stockade fence along the westerly property line.” A note has been added that there shall be no fuel tanks stored nor any trucks fueled on the site. Future signage, if any, requires a zoning permit. Please be advised of the following comments with regard to my review of the application & proposed plan sheets titled entitled “Improvement Location & Topographic Survey “Existing Conditions” 14 Enterprise Lane, Montville (Oakdale), Connecticut (Sheet 1 of 3), Improvement Location & Topographic Survey “Proposed Improvements for Existing Site” 14 Enterprise Lane, Montville (Oakdale), Connecticut (Sheet 2 of 3), Improvement Location & Topographic Survey “Notes and Details” 14 Enterprise Lane, Montville(Oakdale), Connecticut (Sheet 3 of 3), Prepared for Potter Realty V, LLC prepared by Boundaries, LLC, Dated July 2022”: 2 \\planning\planningoffice$\PZC\Applications\2022\22 SITE 6 - 14 Enterprise Ln- Site Improvements\Staff\Asst Planner\22SITE6 14 EntLn AsstplCommentsMemo7-21-22.doc Application 1.
