Developer seeks five dual‑port DC fast chargers at Greenville Shopping Center; planning board schedules SECRA review
Summary
Applicant proposed installing five dual‑port DC fast chargers (10 stalls) at Greenville Shopping Center, reducing net off‑street parking by five spaces; building inspector's office recommended the planning board consider the shared‑parking reduction under section 285‑38(d)(5). Board scheduled the project for SECRA classification and decision on June 17.
A developer seeking to add fast‑charging stations at Greenville Shopping Center described the plan and answered board questions at the Planning Board’s June 3 work session.
"We're proposing 5 dual port EV charging stations," said Dean Apostolares of Kimley Horn, the applicant's representative. "These are DC fast chargers... Each one serves two stalls, so that would make 10." He also said the project would remove an older charging station and associated equipment and introduce new transformer and control cabinets to the west of the site.
The applicant said the installation would result in a net loss of five off‑street parking spaces, reducing total site parking from 463 to 458 stalls. The deputy building inspector’s memorandum (dated 05/14/2026) and a parking‑utilization memo prepared by the applicant concluded the shared‑parking reduction would still provide adequate parking for the center; staff recommended the board consider the shared‑parking reduction under section 285‑38(d)(5) of the zoning ordinance.
Board members asked about ADA access and pedestrian routing to the sidewalk along Route 100, lighting levels and hours of operation. The applicant said the chargers are intended to operate 24/7, the photometric plan models less than 0.9 foot‑candles beyond the back of curb and the proposed layout includes an ADA path tying into the roadway sidewalk. The applicant also said average dwell time at the fast chargers would be about 30–60 minutes.
The board asked staff to prepare a SECRA classification and draft decision; the project was scheduled for formal SECRA determination and board decision at the June 17 meeting.
Planned next steps: staff will confirm compliance items the building inspector flagged (lighting/installation details) and return drafts for the June 17 meeting.
