FARMINGTON – The Planning Board has a short but complex agenda for its 7 p.m. Monday meeting at the town office.
The application for a 14-lot Maple Avenue subdivision will be discussed along with the construction of a new Rite Aid on Main Street, a bank stabilization project on Wilton Road and a request for a parking lot expansion at Touch of Class Thrift Shop.
Kevin Vining submitted an application for the subdivision off Maple Avenue. The plan includes building a new road that winds through a wooded area located between Sunset Avenue and Granite Heights.
“The road will be built to town standards,” said Judy Vining Thursday. That’s in case a decision is made in the future to make it a town road.
The road will include two entrances, one between property owned by Rebecca Webster and John Lucas and the Harold Judkins property, and the other between property owned by William Marceau and Winnifred Libby.
The 14 lots vary in size with one large corner lot that ends at the granite quarry off Sunset Avenue. The Vinings plan to sell lots for home construction.
“Some restrictions will be included in the deeds when the lots are sold,” Vining said, “so that it will be a nice neighborhood.”
The proposed construction of a larger Rite Aid with a drive-through window and 65 parking spaces at the sites of the Farmington Diner, former Quiznos building and C.N. Brown will be discussed. These three will be removed to make space for the 14,673-square-foot building.
The plan also includes an entrance/exit through the Park and Ride according to an agreement worked out with the Maine Department of Transportation that gives customers the ability to exit/enter at the lights. Another entrance is located next to Irving Mainway on the Intervale.
The bank stabilization project, also submitted by Vining, is on the left side of the bridge over Temple Stream on Wilton Road.
Work First seeks the parking lot expansion at its thrift store, Touch of Class, also on Wilton Road.
