RE: 
Site Plan Modification 
Proposed Convenience Store and Fueling Station 
Property of Mehak Realty, LLC 
118 Boston Post Road (Route 1) 
Waterford, Connecticut 
CLA-8192 
 
To the Commission: 
 
CLA Engineers, Inc. has prepared the attached Site Plan Modification application on behalf 
of Mehak Realty, LLC for property located at 118 Boston Post Road.  The property is 
located within the Commercial District (C-G).  Mehak Realty, LLC had been previously 
approved to construct a Convenience Store and Fueling Station under permit PL-22-18 on 
the property.  The proposed uses and all provisions of that permit remain in place and will 
be adhered to.  The facility is partially constructed, and a current as-built plan is included 
in the application package. 
 
This site plan modification is proposed to reconfigure the parking and loading area to 
accommodate the required number of parking spaces.  A minimum of 12 parking spaces 
are required based on a Zoning Board of Appeals decision (ZBA-22-5).   
 
Due to unforeseen subsurface conditions that were encountered during construction, the 
fuels storage tanks and the fuel dispenser island had to be shifted south on the site.  Because 
of this shift, the angled parking that was previously approved could not be accommodated.   
 
To meet the parking requirements, the six parking spaces at the fuel dispensers will remain 
as previously approved, two 90-degree parking spaces including the ADA van space are 
proposed on the west side of the building, three 90-degree parking spaces are proposed to 
the east side of the building, and one parallel space is proposed at the frontage sidewalk 
island.  A loading area is designated in front of the building.  The proposed dumpster pad 
has been relocated to the east side of the building.  The Owner has confirmed that they can 
schedule trash removal when the store is closed and the parking spaces will be vacant.

Curbline and pavement modifications are required to accommodate the new parking 
arrangements.  The previously approved stormwater management basin has been expanded 
to provide additional storage and stormwater mitigation.  The constructed swale and riprap 
to the south of the building (behind the building) are proposed to be consolidated back onto 
the subject property. 
 
All construction details, notes, narratives, requirements, and conditions of approval 
included in the previously approved site plans shall remain in effect. 
 
Work within Boston Post Road (Route 1) has been approved by DOT District 2.  A copy 
of the approval letter is included in the application package.  The work shall be constructed 
in accordance with the previously approved site plans.
