#PL-20-16 — Request of Fabcon Precast, applicant, Mathon Fund I LLC, owner for Special Permit
and site plan approval to construct a concrete product manufacturing facility on property located at
140 Waterford Parkway South, IP-1 Zone, in accordance with Sections 13, 22 and 23 of the
Zoning Regulations as shown on plans entitled “Inland Wetlands, Special Permit & Site Plan
Application for Concrete Manufacturing Plant” dated July 17, 2020.
Seamus Moran, P.E., Project Manager of Loureiro Engineering Associates, Inc, representing
FabCon Precast presented the application to the Board. He described the site plan including
lighting. Cynthia Reynolds, Landscape Architect for Loureiro Engineering Associates, Inc,
described the landscaping plan calling out the perimeter landscaping treatment around the
detention basin, parking lot and buffer to the rear of the property abutting the residential parcels.
E. Pellegri questioned the width of the proposed landscape buffer to the rear of the property and
whether the area between the proposed limit if clearing and the edge of the circular access drive
around the storage yard could be included in the landscape buffer providing greater width for
additional screening. S. Moran stated that the area between the access drive and the proposed
buffer will be used for storage of material. He stated that the proposed buffer is 100 feet in width
to the rear property line and that the scale on the plan may appear to be off, but that the buffer
being provided will be 100 feet.
S. Moran described the photometric plan to the Board. He stated that there is light encroachment
onto Waterford Parkway South from the first light fixture at the entrance drive to the site. He
stated that the fixture will be relocated further back into the property so as to eliminate the
encroachment on the road. J. O’Neill asked about the height of the building and whether the lights
will be visible from I-95 and Waterford Parkway South. Jeff Prince of Dacon described the
various heights of the building and its relationship to the building lighting and the light poles. He
detailed the manufacturing process of the concrete wall panels to the Board. He also described the
architectural features of the building including color and wall material. E. Pellegri asked about
potential noise levels. J. Prince state that noise levels both inside and outside the building will be
in conformance with regulated standards.
