Construct new access driveway on 125 Depot Road and install stormwater management improvements to collect and treat runoff prior to discharge. 55 Dock Road: Install security fence. Construct retaining wall.” Traffic: The Applicant submitted a Traffic Impact Report for Gateway Terminal/Uncasville, CT, Prepared by Scott F. Hesketh, P.E., Manager of Transportation Engineering, F.A. Hesketh & Associates, Inc., Dated May 6, 2022. The report concludes “The proposed development is projected to generate fewer than 10 trips an hour during normal operations, with a seasonal high volume of 25 trips per hour. During storm events, a peak hour volume of 65 trips will be experienced over short periods. Based on the low volume of site generated traffic, and the current roadway and traffic volume conditions, it is my professional opinion that the local roadway network has sufficient capacity to accommodate the traffic volumes associated with the proposed development. The site has been designed to eliminate the use of Dock Road as a means of access. Proposed site access is located such that minimum intersection sight distances for the observed 85% speed will meet current ConnDOT requirements. The driveway is properly designed to accommodate the anticipated driveway volumes.” Coastal Area Management Application: The Coastal Site plan application was referred to CT DEEP Land Water Resource Division (LWRD) for review and comment on 5/26/22. LWRD response, dated June 27, 2022, states “Based on the application materials received the proposal appears to be consistent with all applicable policies and standards of the Connecticut Coastal Management Act. Please note that given the level of proposed disturbance on-site, we recommend the Commission require the installation and maintenance of adequate sedimentation and erosion controls throughout the completion of the proposed work. We also recommend the applicant coordinate with the DEEP Stormwater group to obtain all necessary permits before the start of the work, if they have not already done so” and “please note that any work H:\PZC\Applications\2022\22 SITE 5 - 125 & 133 Depot Rd & 55 Dock Rd - Gateway Phased Project\Staff\PLANNER\22SITE5 125DepotRd IndRedev Planner Comments4 071122.doc below the Coastal Jurisdiction Line (CJL), which in Montville is elevation +2.3’ NAVD88, or occurring in tidal wetlands is subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of DEEP/LWRD.” Staff Comment: The project as submitted appears to be compliant with Zoning Regulations Section 15.3 (Coastal Area Management) and, per the DEEP LWRD report, consistent with all applicable policies and standards of the Connecticut Coastal Management Act. Flood Hazard Zone: The project sites are located In Flood Zone AE (Base Flood Elevation of 11’) & Zone X per Flood Insurance Rate Map Panel #09011C0361J, Effective August 5, 2013. Applicant states, the base flood elevation of 11’ is “tidally influenced”, that “compensatory storage volume provided from demolition of factory and power plant below base flood elevation is 27,691CY”, but that “per the Town of Montville Zoning Regulations Section 15.2.8- Equal Conveyance of Flood Waters and Compensatory Storage for fill placed in the floodplain is not required” as the base flood elevation is tidally influenced. Staff Comment: The project as submitted appears to be compliant with Zoning Regulations Section 15.2 (Special Flood Hazard Area Requirements – SFHA). A copy of the report that supports the designation of tidally influenced prepared by Race Costal Engineering dated May 26, 2022 has been submitted for the record. Railroad: In a letter dated April 29, 2022, John Reece, Sr. Director, Engineering and Development, New England Central Railroad states “We are prepared to collaborate with the developer and their consultants on permitting these improvements serving the site by rail.” Staff Comments Plan Review: Please be advised the plan entitled: “Site Operations/Development Plan, Prepared for Gateway Montville, LLC, 125 Depot Rd (MBL 071-007-000), 133 Depot Rd (MBL 071-001- 000), Depot Rd (MBL 071-013-000), and 55 Dock Rd (MBL 071-008-000), Uncasville, CT, Prepared by Boundaries, LLC, Dated May 2022, Rev.
