Quickway Imports plans small warehouse addition; planning board raises access and sprinkler questions
Loading...
Summary
Quickway Imports told planning officials it plans a 36,000‑square‑foot addition behind an existing building on Route Pulaski/17M; the board asked about truck movements, parking and whether a sprinkler system or water tanking would be required.
Quickway Imports presented plans to add a new building behind an existing warehouse on Pulaski Highway (Route 17M). The company said deliveries would be limited — the applicant estimated two tractor‑trailers per week and small delivery trucks — and that most material transfers would remain internal between the front and back buildings.
Board members examined site access, turn radii for 40‑foot trailers and the potential need for sprinklers depending on storage configurations and building construction. Staff noted that the final sprinkler requirement depends on the building materials, storage heights and tenant uses; if sprinklers are required the applicant may need an on‑site water supply or an underground tank sized to code standards.
The board did not grant variances and asked the applicant to provide final tenant plans and fire‑safety details (including anticipated storage types and shelving heights) to determine whether additional water infrastructure or a sprinkler system would be required before final approval.
Ending: The board asked the applicant to submit tenant use details and final loading/unloading plans so fire and building code implications could be confirmed.
