RE: Site Plan Application 24SITE12 Review
25 Church Lane Change of Use
CLA-7873F
Dear Meredith:
CLA Engineers, Inc. (CLA) has received the application materials for the above referenced project
located on the Town Form Repository: https://www.townofmontville.org/form-repository/24-site-
12-25-church-ln-change-of-use/
CLA has reviewed the site and performed a review of the application documents. We offer the
following commens on the site plan:
1. The Applicant should address the use of the shared parking between the #25 and #27
Church Lane properties including anticipated number of spaces needed, hours of operation
for each use, and how the demand for the parking would not conflict with each other.
2. The Applicant should address the ownership of the 13 parking spaces to be shared in front
of the #27 Church Lane property. It appears that the 6 western spaces are within the Town
right-of-way, and the 7 eastern spaces may be on a neighboring property. These spaces
may not be “under control” of the Owner of the subject property in accordance with 18.5
of the Zoning Regulations.
3. The Applicant should address the width of the entrance drive. The existing width varies
between 12’ and 14’, which does not meet the minimum 24’ width required in 18.8.1 of
the Zoning Regulations for two-way traffic.
4. Dimensions for the proposed parking spaces should be provided.
5. ADA parking should be called out to meet the State of Connecticut Building Code. Is
grading necessary to meet the maximum slopes? Where will the ADA signing be placed?
Building mounted?
6. A sidewalk or pedestrian path should be provided from the off-site parking spaces to the
building.
