Staff asks for recorded easements and written parking agreement tied to Macy’s/Associated Foods parcel
Summary
Planning staff told the applicant to provide recorded cross‑access easements and written confirmation from Associated Foods that 10 parking stalls in front of the pad may be used, after staff warned the pad’s circulation is dependent on adjacent improvements and ownership could change in the future.
Providence planning staff pressed the applicant to produce legal documentation proving shared access and parking rights tied to the adjacent Macy’s/Associated Foods parcel. Staff said the proposed pad’s ingress, egress and parking rely on neighboring asphalt and could be compromised if ownership changes.
“Lot 101 A is dependent on the asphalt that is installed on Lot 106,” said Speaker 3 (Staff member), pointing to the site‑plan dependency that requires perpetual cross‑access rights. Speaker 2 (Presenter/applicant) told the Authority they had “authorization that we can use those stalls for that pad” from Associated Foods’ leadership but staff asked for a written, recorded agreement or blanket cross‑access easement to prevent future restriction of access.
The Authority recorded the condition as part of the motion to conditionally approve the site plan and requested the applicant supply the easement and parking documentation before final sign‑off. Staff said they will not finalize approvals until the legal protections are submitted and verified.
