Douglas Street Ventures LLC, a Farmington-based development company, is proposing to build a 74,520-square-foot warehouse and distribution center in Bloomfield, including 5,000-square-feet of office space.
The 8.7-acre property at 59 and 69 Douglas St. is near the intersection of routes 218 and 187 and provides easy access to Interstate 91. The land, which is vacant, is owned by Douglas Street Ventures, a limited liability company controlled by Steven Levesque.
The building would be one story and a maximum of 44-feet tall, and the parking lot would have 72 spaces.
The western side of the building, facing away from Douglas Street, would have 20 loading docks with 36 additional parking spaces.
There would be three access points off of Douglas — two for trucks and one for cars. Fifty-five trailer parking spaces are proposed at the southern end of the property.
The company has applied for a special permit and a public hearing is scheduled before the Planning and Zoning Commission in June.
The property is in an industrial zone, which the company says is suitable for the project.
The site plan includes landscape buffers to mitigate views of the proposed site along with spillover light and noise to nearby properties.
Douglas Street Ventures plans to lease the property to a tenant, who has not been named.
