G. STAFF SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting a variance to allow existing landscape

Planning Board · 2026-06-10 · agenda_item

An applicant is seeking a variance to build a 900 square-foot drive-thru coffee shop on a 9,000 square-foot property. This property is currently a vacant parking lot and was previously planned for office use. The site is at a major highway and local road intersection and borders a single-family area, which requires significant landscape buffering. The Technical Review Committee has conditionally approved the site plan, with only landscape buffering comments remaining. The Planning Board is currently reviewing this variance request, with options to grant, grant with conditions, or deny. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, construction of the coffee shop building, and final landscaping. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage before final plans and permits are issued. Reaching out now could provide a competitive advantage for work related to site clearing, grading, utility connections, building construction, and finishing trades.
