Developer introduces Lucky Mark convenience store and fuel station; board flags floodplain and traffic questions
Summary
Kevin of Nolan Engineering presented an initial site plan to redevelop 40272 into a 42-by-72-foot convenience store with six pump islands and underground tanks called "Lucky Mark." Board members asked for floodplain elevations, truck-turn diagrams and historical-structure documentation; the applicant said traffic and stormwater consultants will be engaged and return with requested details.
Kevin, representing Nolan Engineering, introduced an initial site-plan at the planning board meeting for redevelopment of the property at 40272 into a convenience store and fuel station to be branded "Lucky Mark." The proposal would remove existing buildings and construct a roughly 42-by-72-foot retail building with six pump islands, underground fuel tanks, a dumpster area and an on-site septic system.
Kevin said the applicant will involve traffic and stormwater engineers to address issues raised by a letter from Bradley that identified the property as being on a floodplain and to determine needed elevation work. "We're getting our traffic consultants as well as our storm water engineer involved at this point to to address some of the issues that he brought up here," Kevin said. Board members asked for truck-turning diagrams for fuel deliveries and dumpster servicing and requested reference sites to review operations and circulation.
Board members also asked whether historical-review conversations had taken place and whether old tanks were removed; Kevin said the owner believes tanks were removed and documentation would be provided. The applicant identified the owner as Surrender Chima and said Chima owns multiple fuel stations in the region. The board asked the applicant to return with truck-turn templates, stormwater and flood-elevation analysis, and other supporting materials; a public hearing was not scheduled at the meeting and further permitting and DOT review for access on Route 2 were noted as next steps.
