Though the planning board gave its final approval for a Hannaford supermarket at the corner of Jenkins Road and Route 101, nine conditions must be met before a store can be built.
If the conditions aren’t met, Hannaford owners would have to come back to the planning board for a modification of plans, said Paul Drahnak, the planning board’s former chairman.
“In a development that’s dependent on off-site modifications, and this is, those are very standard conditions,” he said.
On Nov. 28, Town Planner Karen White said she has not yet received any documents confirming that the conditions have been met.
“They have not submitted anything to me, so I would have to assume that the conditions have not yet been met,” she said.
The first condition calls for several plans to be submitted to the planning department, including easements for the widening of Jenkins and Hardy roads, the possible lot-sharing with a property at 334 Route 101, and the agreement for a driveway to Pine Tree Place condominiums.
The second condition is the planning board’s outside consultant, civil engineer Steve Keach of Keach-Nordstrom Associates, must verify that Hannaford has adjusted the site plan according to his eight corrections, Town Planner Karen White said.
“Each time a site plan is submitted, they review the site plan for all civil engineering issues,” she said.
The third condition is the final engineering plans for roads around the supermarket be approved by Bedford Public Works Director Jim Stanford.
The fourth condition states Fire Chief Scott Wiggin approve results of a Pennichuck waterpressure test. Wiggin must also determine if a fire cistern will stay on the property.
The fifth condition is Hannaford owners must get a state Department of Transportation permit for a “right-in, right-out” turn for Route 101. This must be done after the DOT completes preliminary designs for the traffic signal that will be constructed in 2008 at the intersection of Jenkins Road and Route 101.
The sixth condition is Hannaford owners must post a bond -- in an amount approved by Stanford -- for the widening of Jenkins and Hardy roads.
Under the seventh condition, the DOT has to make “any significant changes to the preliminary design for Route 101 improvements -- as a result of their hearing in January 2007 -- that would affect the design of improvements to Jenkins Road or Hardy Road, then the applicant shall return to the Bedford planning board to seek a modification of the approved site plan,” said Paul Goldberg, planning board member.
The eighth condition is the grocery store won’t be given a certificate of occupancy until the Route 101 traffic light is working. The DOT must make the approval.
The ninth condition is the planning board set the possible hours of operation for the supermarket.
The board limited Hannaford’s possible hours of operation between 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Sunday, and trash pickup will be limited to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.
