RE: Site Plan
2 & 8 Enterprise Lane, Oakdale, CT, 06370
The proposed plan is a modification to two existing site plans. The owner of 2
Enterprise Lane has purchased the neighboring site, 8 Enterprise Lane, and plans to use
both buildings for his operation. The site plan on 8 Enterprise Lane has been built while
the building on 2 Enterprise Lane hasn’t. Both sites are in the LI zoning district.
The existing building at 8 Enterprise Lane has a footprint of 4,200 SF. The plan is
for the building to remain, but for it to be modified. The 1st floor of the building will
contain 6 offices along with a work area and a conference room. There will also be a
lobby/show room which will be used for wholesale only. The basement will be used for
storage. There will be about 1,105 SF of office space including the offices, conference
room, and lobby. There will be about 3,095 SF of industrial/manufacturing space. The
basement will be used as storage space and will be 4,200 SF. A loading dock with an
overhead door will be installed on the first floor. The loading dock will be accessed from
2 Enterprise Lane. An overhead door will also be installed in the rear of the building on
the basement level. A bituminous concrete access drive will be constructed that allows
access to the overhead door from 2 Enterprise Lane. The existing septic system on 8
Enterprise Lane will remain untouched throughout the development of the site. Boulders
will be installed around the septic system to protect it from any vehicular traffic.
The previously approved, proposed building on 2 Enterprise Lane will remain the
same. The footprint of the building will be 7,500 SF. The ground level of the building
will consist of 7,500 SF of manufacturing space. There will also be a 1,500 SF mezzanine
that will be used for office space.
In order to reduce the grade of the new proposed loading dock, the grades of the
approved site plan on 2 Enterprise Lane are being raised by 1.55’. Other than the change
in grade, the site plan for 2 Enterprise Lane is going to mostly remain the same. The
septic system, infiltration galleries, and drainage system will all stay at the same
elevation, they will just have more cover over them. There will be a large reduction in the
amount of retaining walls required along the northern and eastern boundaries of 2
Enterprise Lane because we now have more space to grade.
The building on 2 Enterprise Lane will be used for milling materials and the
building on 8 Enterprise Lane will be used for assembly of the milled materials. The
milled material will be transported from 2 Enterprise Lane to 8 Enterprise Lane using the
proposed loading dock.
Two easements are being proposed as part of this project. One on 2 Enterprise
Lane in favor of 8 Enterprise Lane, and one on 8 Enterprise Lane in favor of 2 Enterprise
Lane. See sheet 7 of the plan set to see the exact dimensions and location of the two
easements.
