The Planning Commission met on July 7, 2026, at 6:30 PM at Town Hall to consider three major agenda items: waiver requests for two adaptive reuse projects on Post Road, a pre-application conceptual review for a minor subdivision at 102 Beacon Drive, and a discussion on potential zoning amendments for data centers. The meeting concluded with approval of minutes and adjournment.
This is the otherwise known as the KFC willing in case you confuse the two projects. They don't quite have their landscape view plans ready, but everything else is ready. So they're asking to have those as items in the checklist so they don't have to complete first to consider them complete to move forward. Um from a stock perspective, that's fine. Obviously, I'm not telling them we do not need to have these done. It's just to move them forward so you can schedule them for meetings and move forward with the applications for review. Any questions on Nicole? I I don't have a serious problem with the landscape long as we're gonna see it at what. Yes, you will still see one. Um if you want to see I perimeter, make sure you get it for preliminary. They um we didn't talk about a data specific. I prefer it done, but as long as we get it before they finish the project. Um for this particular project, there isn't a lot of LTV that will be prone just because of the nature of it, but there still needs to be some sort of plan that goes with it. And they do have LT architect working. Yeah, I agree with Richard. Um even though there's not a line of landscaping there, if they do it, it kind of will be an enticement for the rest of the businesses. Like the OPEC gas station, they just turn around and did a strip there and they put lunch down and they put some plantings. Just that little bit. Absolutely. We have the post-rate facade, this is an aside. We have a poster facade meeting and just those little projects have made a worldly different. So we are even in projects like this, we make sure that they are aware that that's available too. Yeah, I mean, you got a rivals that has done it, and you've got Kingston Wikimorch, so those are little things that work. Absolutely. So hopefully it will catch on. At the bottom of the memo, it says the building height is approximately 43 feet. Those are the these are not laboratory, so tell us how much it exceeds the hype by. I didn't look at it. Um it actually it doesn't. They are looking at it incorrectly, so we'll do it when we get there. All right, we've seen the memo. Thank you. They can go up to 50 feet on post-road when they do affordable housing. So they well, I think they don't think that they're looking at the table but not the footnote. So we'll work with them on that. Thank you. Joe, anything? No. Uh I would entertain a motion to grant the waiver request for the 6578 post-road project. I'll make that motion. All in favor? Aye. Uh moving on to item 3b. A waiver request, major land development checklist requirements for unified development review of Patriot Builders Incorporated for a major land development project including dimensional variance request or the project known as 6828 post-road, consisting of the adaptive reuse of the existing building and a new five-unit residential building for a total of 17 units at 6828 post-road. Also known as Assessors Plat 146, lots 131 and 205 to 210 zone post-road. This is the same as the last one for the other project. This it would be also known as the Allstate property, or we have to call it the mushroom building because of the shape of the building. Um they did ask you for the water modeling labor already, but they've added it to this to just be comprehensive. The same request on this is for umscaping. Again, these are just for us to consider the application complete.
