Project Address: Butlertown Rd, 393, 25 site 4
Project Name: B and W Paving Storage Facility
Reviewer: Doug Colter, Building Official
Upon review of land use documents submitted to the town planning officials, the Building
Official notes the following:
1.) The unit proposed is considered S-1 Storage, Motor Vehicle under the CT State Building
Code.
2.) Fire suppression Sprinklers are required in this use group where the fire area exceeds
6,000 square feet.
3.) Any retaining walls over 3’ in height require engineering and a building permit
4.) Site storm water drainage infrastructure is governed by the IPC por�on of the CT State
Building Code, requires a permit and a licensed plumbing contractor
5.) Building Code regula�on of the sewer and water line infrastructure begins where the
WPCA defines their regulatory demarca�on, or in the case of Sep�c, where the Uncas
Health District jurisdic�on ends.
6.) If no floor drains are planned, the floor must pitch to the doorway, and considera�on of
collec�on and treatment of water run-off by the site storm water collec�on system
should be considered. (oil water separator, etc.)
7.) If there is no sanitary sewer, any planned floor drains are required by the 2022 CSBC to
be piped to a holding tank for frequent pump out and trucked to a wastewater
treatment facility
8.) Site ligh�ng is regulated by the 2022 CSBC for full cut off fixtures, maximum ligh�ng
power, and ligh�ng controls. There is insufficient informa�on on the land use plans to
determine compliance.
These comments should be considered a preliminary courtesy review, and not a thorough review under the auspices
of the CT State Building Code. These are not exhaustive or limiting comments, do not create an estoppel, and are
not an approval. A formal Building Permit application accompanied by Construction Documents per CT State
Statutes and the CT State Building Code are required for a formal review, and work is not authorized until a Building
Permit is issued by the Building Official. It is the applicant’s responsibility to coordinate State and Town
requirements at the time of application for approvals.
