Sec. 7-159b – Pre-application review of use of property. Notwithstanding any other provision of the general statutes, 
prior to the submission of an application for use of property under chapters 124, 126, 440 and 541 or any other provision 
of the general statutes authorizing an authority, commission, department or agency of a municipality to issue a permit or 
approval for use of such property, such authority, commission, department or agency or authorized agent thereof may 
separately, jointly, or in any combination, conduct a pre-application review of a proposed project with the applicant at 
the applicant's request. Such pre-application review and any results or information obtained from it may not be appealed 
under any provision of the general statutes, and shall not be binding on the applicant or any authority, commission, 
department, agency or other official having jurisdiction to review the proposed project.  
I have read and understand the above provision of the Connecticut General Statutes and understand and agree that 
whatever discussion, comments and/or recommendations are made through this review are non-binding upon the parties. 
Further, I acknowledge and agree that this pre-application review meeting is being conducted prior to and in anticipation 
of a formal application to the Waterford Planning and Zoning Commission or Conservation Commission to obtain 
feedback and response to the proposal or design, as it exists on this date, in the interest of preparing an application 
consistent with the Subdivision, Zoning or Wetlands regulations of the Town of Waterford as the case may be.

February 20, 2026 - revised 
5. Statement of Use
Applicant: Elite Auto Services 
Business Name: Elite Auto Services 
Address: 17 Industrial Drive (Map 50 Lot 3559) 
Zoning District: I-G 
Area of Property: 18.1+ acres or 788,401+ sq. ft. 
Purpose/ Description of Use: 
The applicant is a roadside assistance contractor for AAA. The applicant is proposing to occupy the 
existing vacant office/warehouse buildings on the subject property to operate as a roadside assistance 
contractor for AAA. The proposed use will be less intense than the former use which was a provider of 
release agents. The applicant plans only minor aesthetic improvements to the interior of the main 
building, restriping the existing parking areas, remove all nine (9) above ground storage tanks on site and 
their chain link fence surrounds. Maintain and improve existing landscaping, and add a 4-yard refuse 
dumpster to the rear of the site on the existing concrete pad. No grading, filling, or other substantial 
ground disturbance is proposed. 
There will not be any impounding of vehicles on site nor any customer vehicles stored at the facility. We 
will only be performing consensual tows to AAA members according to AAA standards. 
There will be 6 company owned vehicles that run AAA assistance calls on a daily basis. 4 of these trucks 
will be off site from approximately 5 a.m.-1 a.m. The other 2 will be on the road 24 hours a day, 7 days a 
week. All of the trucks will return to the facility periodically throughout the day for driver shift change. 
Hours and Days of Operation: 
8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. (5-7 employees) 
3 p.m. -11 p.m. 7 days a week (2 employees) 
Parking: 
Existing: There are presently 28 striped parking spaces plus loading area on site. Front spaces are 
presently striped larger than standard. 
 
Required:  30 - no new pavement added, just restriping front lot to standard space dimensions. 
Proposed: Evaluate the front parking lot for cleanliness and striping conditions. Restripe as shown on site 
plan (20 spaces in front, 10 spaces in rear/side). The parking spaces in the rear/side of the building will be 
used for company owned vehicles while not in use and for our drivers’ personal vehicles while they are 
out working. The front parking lot will be used for office personnel while working (approximately 5-7 
employees) and visitors and will be signed accordingly. The applicant anticipates the need for a maximum 
of 18 parking spaces and 30 are provided. 
Lighting: Check all existing exterior lighting and repair or replace bulbs as necessary. 
Landscaping: To remain as is but to be cleaned up and maintained. 
Signage: Two (2) proposed small directional signs will be added along the eastern and western sides of 
the street-side parking area to designate “employee and visitor parking spaces only”. 
Trash/Recycling: Four (4) rollaway refuse collection bins will be located at the rear of the main building 
for weekly trash removal. 
Drainage/Stormwater – As per Town of Waterford requirements, all on-site catch basins, pipes, and 
detention basin will be inspected and cleaned as needed.
