FARMINGTON – The Planning Board conducted site reviews Wednesday for the Maple Avenue subdivision and the proposed Rite-Aid on the Intervale.

The board voted unanimously to hold a public hearing on the Maple Avenue subdivision at their next meeting on June 11. A public hearing on the proposed Rite-Aid is already planned for that meeting.

A few homeowners who live close to Kevin Vining’s proposed 14-lot subdivision off Maple Avenue attended the site review with questions and concerns. The group walked through the wooded area to find how close the back properties would be in relation to the end of Sunset Avenue and Old Quarry Road.

Vining proposes to create a new road with two entrances that winds through a wooded piece of property located above Sunset Avenue and before Granite Heights. Driveways and house lots would be roughed out and sold. Vining said the lots would be sold in the $50,000 range. Town water and sewer would be extended to the 14 lots, Vining said.

No decisions were made at the Rite-Aid site, but the board reviewed the traffic exit at the park-and-ride lot, location of the building and the entrance/exit areas.

A few revisions have been made to the plan, said Bret Poi, survey and site engineer for the project, that reflect concerns raised at the previous planning board meeting.

Smaller ornamental trees have been added between Rite-Aid and Irving’s Mainway and the flood plan has been reviewed in regard to questions raised over the storage of pharmaceuticals. A crosswalk that fell at the main entrance to Rite Aid was relocated, Poi said.

Tom Gorrill of Gorrill-Palmer Consulting Engineers had previously proposed making the traffic lane turning from the Intervale onto Route 2 a designated left-hand-turn-only lane following a study of traffic patterns at the site. Gorrill told board members that the state Department of Transportation has decided to the leave the lanes the way they are.

The park-and-ride lot will be reconfigured to allow customers to enter and exit Rite-Aid at the present traffic lights.
