BRUNSWICK
The Brunswick Planning Board unanimously approved a convenience store Tuesday proposed by Priority Real Estate Group for Brunswick Landing.
The convenience store was before the planning board Tuesday for a final plan major development review. The 3,850-square-foot store and five fuel dispensaries will be located on the former Navy base, across from the Shaw’s Supermarket in Merrymeeting Plaza. The store’s primary access will be from Bath Road but vehicles can also access the store by Allagash Street on Brunswick Landing.
Jim Howard of Priority Real Estate Group said last week he expects to break ground around mid-April and open in August.
The planning board also unanimously granted a special use permit submitted by U-Haul Company of New Hampshire and Maine for proposed equipment rental use at the former Cooper Industries building at 1 Cressey Road.
The applicant wants to reuse an existing industrial building located within a business and industry zoning district as well as partially within a town residential zoning district. A special permit is required for uses not specifically allowed or prohibited by the town’s ordinance. In this case, the proposed equipment rental use is an omitted use.
