Condiments Donuts owners seek site‑plan amendment; board schedules site walk to verify stormwater and remaining site work
Summary
Owners of Condiments Donuts requested the board receive a site‑plan amendment to build a garage with two rental units for employees and to resolve outstanding as‑built stormwater and landscaping deficiencies. The board scheduled a site walk for Sept. 18 at 6 p.m. to verify constructed features and plan the required follow-up.
Jillian Schopf and her husband asked the Planning Board to receive a site‑plan amendment application for Condiments Donuts to add a garage with two rental units for employees and to resolve outstanding items from an earlier plan approval. Planning staff said earlier stormwater work and some required landscaping and plantings were not completed and that an after‑the‑fact shed and patio work need to be addressed.
Staff recommended a site walk to verify whether the gravel base for the secondary parking area had been constructed (which would trigger required stormwater measures) and to review the location of as‑built features. The board scheduled the site walk for Thursday the 18th at 6 p.m. and asked the applicant to stake out the proposed building footprint and to provide as‑built documentation.
Staff also recommended a phasing plan: (1) install the front collection basin and required stormwater features first when a contractor is on site; (2) proceed with excavation and underground utilities for the garage as phase two. The applicant said they are amenable to a phasing plan and to cooperating with the site walk.
Why it matters: The amendment would add rental housing for employees on a commercial property and resolve incomplete stormwater features tied to prior approvals; verifying as‑built conditions will determine whether additional stormwater measures or enforcement actions are required.
Quotes "The main thing that we need to catch up is the front focal point collection basin," an applicant said when describing the next construction steps.
"So basically we need to just schedule the sidewalk at this point?" a board member asked; the board scheduled the site walk for Sept. 18 at 6 p.m.
Ending The board will inspect the property on Sept. 18 to confirm as‑built conditions and to verify whether stormwater and landscaping items were installed as required; the applicant will supply stakes marking the new garage footprint and as‑built documentation.
