ALDI Plaza 
122-124 Boston Post Road 
Statement of Use 
The existing development consists of Phase I of the Site Plan approved on August 8, 2016, and 
includes an M&T Bank (approximately 3,000 sq. ft.) along Boston Post Road and an ALDI grocery 
store (approximately 20,000 sq. ft.) farther back on the site.  The parcel slopes steeply from Boston 
Post Road to its far southeastern corner on Miner Lane.  The primary access to the site is from a 
signalized intersection on Boston Post Road, directly across from Clark Lane.  There is an exit-
only driveway to Miner Lane.  The property is served by both public water and sewer, electric and 
gas service by Eversource, and internet, telephone and cable are provided by Atlantic Broadband. 
The site is currently zoned Planned Design District #1 (PDD#1).   
The project involves the redevelopment of the subject site and was approved in 2016 with two 
phases.  The first phase, which has already been completed, included the demolition of the bowling 
alley, retention of the existing single story 2,946 sf bank, and the construction of a new single story 
19,583 sf ALDI grocery store.  Phase II of the development program has been modified to include 
a new single-story building of approximately 2,325 sf for Chipotle restaurant use.  This is a 
reduction from the originally proposed Phase II which included two buildings of 8,100 sf and 4,320 
sf for retail and restaurant uses.  Substantial new landscaping along the perimeter and within the 
development is proposed, along with an improved storm water management system providing 
water quality treatment.  The proposed parking area, landscaped islands, and walkways will 
provide safe vehicular traffic control with clearly defined access ways.  The property will be re-
graded to create a more level grade, improve overall accessibility, and create a more pedestrian-
friendly environment.  Primary access will remain from Boston Post Road and an egress-only 
driveway will remain to Miner Lane.  The Chipotle building includes high quality architectural 
design standards and architectural features similar to the ALDI store for design compatibility. 
Stormwater runoff from the site will be treated to improve water quality and peak discharge rates 
reduced through a combination of Best Management Practices (BMPs) and detention/infiltration 
devices. 

Customer daily visits to the site will vary depending on the day of the week and the time of year.  
Peak period customer activity will normally occur on Fridays and Saturdays with increased activity 
during the holidays in November and December.  There are currently 134 parking spaces for use 
by ALDI and M&T Bank.  With the original Phase II design, the total parking provided on the site 
was 160 spaces. The Phase II revised layout will add parking and the total parking provided on the 
site will be 166 spaces. This provides sufficient parking for all uses during peak periods.  
A traffic Trip Generation memo has been submitted with this application to address traffic impacts. 
This memo compares the original build program to the new build program and also takes into 
account recent traffic studies in the area for developments proposed in the vicinity of the site. The 
traffic memo finds that the traffic signal improvements that were constructed as part of the ALDI 
project were based on a more intense build program and higher traffic volumes along Boston Post 
Road, and therefore the Chipotle development is not considered to need any additional review or 
mitigation. 
The Chipotle includes a pick-up window and pick-up lane. There is no ordering or paying at the 
pick-up lane. Customers order on a mobile app and pick up their food at a designated time. The 
average car queue in the pick-up lane is one to two vehicles with four cars less than 98% of the 
time. Most all deliveries are done at night when the restaurant is closed. The deliveries are typically 
in a box truck but sometimes a larger truck might make a delivery. 
Chipotle will employ approximately 25 employees with an average of 6-8 employees per shift. 
ALDI has approximately 8 employees per shift. Webster Bank has approximately 6 employees per 
shift. Chipotle hours of operation are 10:45 am to 10:00 pm. ALDI hours of operation are Monday 
to Saturday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, and Sunday 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. Webster Bank hours of 
operation are Monday to Wednesday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Thursday and Friday 9:00 am to 6:00 
pm, and Saturday 9:00 am to 2:00 pm.  
 
 
 
 

Statement of Design Compatibility  
The proposed project is consistent with the orderly development of the town and integrity of 
surrounding land uses.  The project site, located adjacent to the corner of Boston Post Road and 
Miner Lane, and across from Clark Lane, is at the heart of the Town’s Route 1 business district.  
The site is surrounded on all sides by retail shopping and restaurant opportunities at a variety of 
different sizes and scales, all serviced by the existing road network and public utility infrastructure.  
The proposed project will complete the vision for this site as a prominent gateway development at 
the terminus of Clark Lane and showcase a reinvestment in a corridor that suffers from wide 
disparity in the appearance of commercial properties. New landscaping along the perimeter and 
within the development is proposed as well as the construction of an aesthetically pleasing 
restaurant structure that will continue the high-quality architectural design standards within the 
plaza. This project will make a meaningful improvement to the overall aesthetics of the 
neighborhood and will not only enhance surrounding land uses but may encourage other 
reinvestment in adjoining properties and those located along the Route 1 corridor. 
The design of the site and building is consistent with the Planned Design District 1 and the 
associated Master Development Plan. 
 
Consistency with Adopted Plan of Preservation, Conservation and 
Development 
The proposed redevelopment is also fully consistent with the policies, goals and objectives of the 
Town of Waterford Plan of Preservation, Conservation and Development.  This site is located in 
the “Route 1 at Clark Lane Major Business Area.”  The existing land use, existing zoning, and 
future land use of the property is commercial.  Most importantly though, this redevelopment effort 
concentrates new investment and construction around existing traffic nodes and along existing 
arterial corridors where the necessary infrastructure is already in place to serve business needs.  
This is smart growth.  Rather than new strip development extending outwards from established 
commercial areas, this plan and design encourages infill redevelopment in an existing business 
area, which is a key policy and goal of the Plan.  The Business/Economic Development sections 
of the Plan also specifically discuss the need to redevelop commercial areas along Boston Post 

Road and explicitly note the consideration of flexible design standards or even rezoning for some 
sites.  The design of the site for accessibility, addition of landscaping and pedestrian walkways 
and high-quality architectural design features also complements ongoing efforts to develop a 
mixed use “village” in the nearby Town Center/Civic Triangle area.  While this particular site is 
located on the eastern edge of that study area, the proposal for an accessible retail shopping plaza 
with restaurants dovetails nicely with the variety of uses to be promoted in that key development 
area.  In fact, as noted in the Waterford Town Center Vision and Strategic Plan, the subject property 
is sited within the Post Road Gateway Area where redevelopment and revitalization of older and 
obsolete commercial venues is strongly encouraged.  The Vision and Strategic Plan also notes the 
disinvestment and deferred maintenance of many properties along this corridor and the pressing 
need to work with developers and property owners to keep these businesses competitive and viable 
while improving accessibility and overall appearance.

Parking Demand Study  
 
 
Family Bowl Redevelopment 
 
 
Waterford, CT  
 
McMahon Associates has completed a parking demand study for the Family Bowl 
Redevelopment project to be located at 122‐124 Boston Post Road in Waterford, Connecticut.  
This project calls for the construction of approximately 34,216 total square feet of retail and 
restaurant land uses, and proposes a total of 160 parking spaces.  Expected parking generation 
for the site was estimated based on data provided in the Institute of Transportation Engineers 
(ITE) publication Parking Generation Manual, 4th Edition.  
 
This memorandum includes a summary of the average peak period parking demand that is 
expected for the proposed project based on the calculated average peak parking demand rates 
provided by ITE for similar land uses. 
 
Parking Demand Analysis 
 
Average parking demand rates calculated in the ITE Parking Generation Manual, 4th Edition were 
applied to the proposed project build program to determine the expected peak hour parking 
demand for the site.  ITE Land Use Code 820 (Shopping Center) was selected to best represent 
the expected parking demands of the site.  The ITE parking demand database includes data 
from 197 shopping centers of varying sizes and locations and the parking demand rates were 
calculated based on the square footage of the gross leasable area of the studied shopping 
centers. 
 
Table 1 presents the average peak period parking demand for Non‐Friday, Friday, Saturday 
and Sunday time periods, during both typical (non‐December) and December holiday 
conditions.  The table also provides the expected parking demand for the proposed 34,216 
square foot redevelopment and identifies the number of surplus parking spaces given the 
current design.

Table 1: Waterford Retail Development Average Peak Period Parking Demand 
 
As shown in Table 1, the average Non‐Friday peak period parking demand for a shopping 
center of 34,216 square feet is 87 spaces for Non‐December months and 129 parking spaces 
during the month of December.  The expected parking demand for the project on a Friday is 101 
spaces during Non‐December months and 135 parking spaces in December.  The parking 
demand is expected to be 98 spaces on a Saturday and 70 spaces on a Sunday during 
Non‐December months.  The December parking demand for the project site is expected to be 
160 spaces on a Saturday and 151 spaces on a Sunday. 
 
Conclusion 
 
Based on the available ITE data shown in Table 1, the proposed project site is expected to be 
able to accommodate the parking demand of the project. A parking ratio of 4.7 parking spaces 
per 1,000 square feet of development should provide adequate parking for a project such as the 
Family Bowl Redevelopment.

RE: 
Trip Generation Review 
 
Proposed Chipotle Restaurant 
 
122-124 Boston Post Road 
 
Waterford, CT 
 
McMahon, a Bowman company has completed a review of the trip generating characteristics of a 2,325 
square foot Chipotle restaurant proposed to be located within the shopping center located at 122-124 
Boston Post Road (Route 1) in Waterford, Connecticut. The shopping center is shown in Figure 1, provided 
as an attachment. The shopping center was redeveloped in 2017 and the previously analyzed build 
program included the Aldi supermarket that exists on site today, a proposed 9,300 square foot auto parts 
store, and a proposed 1,800 square foot fast-food restaurant with a drive-through. To date the auto parts 
store and fast-food restaurant have not been constructed. The proposed Chipotle would take the place of 
those two outparcel developments that were included in the previous redevelopment project. The 
proposed build program is shown in the attached site plan prepared by RJ O’Connell & Associates and 
dated June 2, 2023.  
 
A traffic impact study was completed for the previous build program by McMahon in October 2015, and 
was reviewed by the Town of Waterford’s peer review consultant BL Companies. As part of the approval of 
the shopping center redevelopment, traffic signal improvements at the intersection of the shopping 
center driveway and Boston Post Road (Route 1) were permitted through the Connecticut Department of 
Transportation (CTDOT) and constructed.  
 
The purpose of this review is to compare the trip generation characteristics for the previous outparcel 
build program to the updated build program consisting of the Chipotle restaurant. This memorandum 
also provides a review of existing roadway traffic volumes in the vicinity of the project site and a 
comparison to the traffic volumes used in the previously completed McMahon traffic impact study that 
was approved by the Town and CTDOT.  
 
Project Description 
A proposed Chipotle with order pick-up window would be constructed within the existing shopping 
center along the western boundary of the parcel. Access to the shopping center would continue to be 
provided by the existing traffic signal serving the project driveway on Boston Post Road (Route 1) 
opposite Clark Lane. Vehicles traveling to the Chipotle would enter the shopping center via the traffic 
signal, travel to the first internal stop sign within the site and turn right before parking or entering the 
order pick-up lane of the restaurant. The pick-up window would be for mobile and online order pick-ups 
and no ordering would be done on-site from the pick-up window lane.

mcmahonassociates.com | bowman.com 
As part of the Chipotle project, ten existing parking spaces along the current western border of the site 
parking lot would be removed and a new parking field would be constructed south of the Chipotle 
restaurant. The new parking field would provide 39 parking spaces, which represents an increase of 29 
parking spaces to the overall shopping center. 
 
Project Site Generated Trips 
To establish the trip generation of the updated build program, the Institute of Transportation Engineers 
(ITE) publication, Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition was used as a reference. Vehicle trip generation for 
the proposed Chipotle restaurant was calculated based on data published for ITE Land Use Code 930 (Fast 
Casual Restaurant). Vehicle trip rates were established in trips per square foot for the proposed restaurant. 
The trip estimates associated with the updated outparcel build program is summarized in Table 1 below.

ITE Land Use Code 930 (Fast Casual Restaurant), based on 2,325 square feet. 
As shown in Table 1, the updated outparcel build program is estimated to generate approximately 29 
total vehicle trips (16 entering vehicles and 13 exiting vehicles) during the weekday afternoon peak hour 
and generate approximately 76 total vehicle trips (42 entering vehicles and 34 exiting vehicles) during the 
Saturday Midday peak hour.  
 
The trip generation for the previously analyzed outparcel development within the shopping center was 
estimated based on the ITE publication Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition, which was the most recent 
edition of the Trip Generation Manual at the time of the traffic impact study submission in 2015. Trip 
generation estimates were calculated using this reference based on Land Use Code 843 (Automobile Parts 
Sales) and Land Use Code 934 (Fast-Food Restaurant with Drive-Through Window). Vehicle trip rates were 
established in trips per square foot. The trip estimates associated with the previous outparcel build 
program are summarized in Table 2 below.

As shown in Table 2 above, the previously analyzed outparcel build program including an auto parts store 
and a fast-food restaurant with a drive through were estimated to generate a total of approximately 115 
trips (58 entering vehicles and 57 exiting vehicles) during the weekday afternoon peak hour and 
approximately 209 trips (107 entering vehicles and 102 exiting vehicles) during the Saturday Midday peak 
hour.

Description
Previous Build Program1
 
 
As shown in Table 3, the Chipotle build program is projected to generate fewer trips than the previous 
build program during both the weekday afternoon and Saturday midday peak hours. The capacity analysis 
presented in the Traffic Impact Study from October 2015 indicates that the previously proposed 
development, including the supermarket, auto parts store, and fast-food restaurant would not be 
expected to have a significant impact on the operations at the study area intersections and site driveways. 
The 2017 shopping center redevelopment also implemented intersection improvements and signal timing 
adjustments at the Boston Post Road (Route 1) intersection with the shopping center driveway/Clark Lane. 
The traffic volumes and capacity analysis presented in the 2015 McMahon traffic impact study were 
reviewed and accepted by CTDOT as part of the traffic signal improvements to offset the impacts of the 
project.  
 
The traffic projected to be generated by the updated build program is less than the estimated trip 
generation associated with the previous build program. The anticipated traffic impacts of the proposed 
Chipotle development should be adequately accommodated by the access and roadway improvements 
approved by CTDOT and already in place at the shopping center. The Chipotle development has been 
designed to provide safe and efficient access to and from the restaurant, and the project is considered to 
provide adequate parking to meet the needs of customers. 
 
Traffic Volume Comparison 
McMahon is in receipt of two recently completed traffic studies for developments proposed within the 
vicinity of the site. Both studies were completed by VHB, with one study dated December 2020 and 
completed for a proposed multifamily housing development to be located at 386 and 394 Willetts 
Avenue, and the other study dated March 2023 and completed for the proposed Waterford Central 
residential development to be located on Willetts Avenue. The signalized intersection of Boston Post Road 
(Route 1) at Willetts Avenue was included in both the VHB 2023 traffic study for Waterford Central and

the McMahon 2015 traffic impact study. Both studies included an evaluation of the weekday afternoon 
peak hour. The 2017 Combined volumes projected in the McMahon traffic impact study from 2015 were 
compared to the 2023 existing traffic volumes documented in the VHB study from March 2023 for the 
intersection of Boston Post Road (Route 1) at Willetts Avenue to determine if existing traffic volumes 
exceed those analyzed as part of the previous permitting effort. A comparison of the weekday afternoon 
peak hour volumes is shown below in Table 4.

traffic volumes. The 2017 Combined volumes from the 2015 McMahon study included the trips projected 
to be associated with the Aldi Supermarket and the previous build program for the site outparcels and 
was approved by the Town and CTDOT. The 2023 existing volumes were counted in 2022 and grown by 
one percent to achieve 2023 existing volumes. As the Aldi was constructed in 2017, the 2023 existing 
volumes include traffic volumes produced by the Aldi.  
 
Conclusions 
Based on a review of the existing 2023 traffic volumes and the anticipated trip generation characteristics 
resulting from the proposed Chipotle, the previously approved 2017 Combined volumes from the 2015 
McMahon traffic impact study are considered to be more conservative than the current traffic volumes in 
the area. As the traffic signal improvements that were approved and constructed as part of the Aldi 
portion of the redevelopment were based on a more intense build program and higher traffic volumes 
along Boston Post Road (Route 1), the Chipotle development is not considered to need any additional 
review or mitigation.
