Menhill Planning Board Recommends Favorable Action on ZC26-4 Amendment for Alton Retail Site

The Menhill Planning Board considered a recommendation for ZC26-4, filed by John Street LLC, to amend the Alton Retail zoning plan. The proposed amendments include opening up an undisturbed open space area at the northwest corner of the property to allow for pedestrian connections and an outdoor dining area, and a modification to the transportation improvement requirements. Specifically, the applicant requested a temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) if there are delays in manufacturing and delivery of decorative mast arms for traffic signals, which are required for the development. The board discussed concerns regarding the safety implications of operating with temporary occupancy before all improvements, including the mast arms, are completed. The board ultimately made a favorable recommendation for ZC26-4, contingent on the town attorney and town manager finding the agreement acceptable regarding the mast arm situation.
