Hartford-based Noble Energy has submitted land-use applications to build a gas station with a convenience store, fast food restaurant, ice cream shop and car wash at the corner of Governor and Prospect streets in East Hartford.
The proposal requires special permit approvals and a site plan from the town’s Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as approval from the Inland Wetlands and Environment Commission. The proposal is on the April 25 agenda for the wetlands commission.
A proposed 8,437-square-foot building would host a convenience store, fast food restaurant, ice cream shop, storage, bathrooms and common space. The location would include eight pumping stations and a 3,506-square-foot car wash.
The application was submitted by Noble Energy Real Estate Holdings LLC, which shares a Hartford address with Noble Energy.
The property currently hosts a 14,155-square-foot cinder block and concrete manufacturing building completed in 1955, and a 5,000-square-foot cinder block and concrete storage building dating to 1963. It sits on one edge of a commercial and industrial area just off Interstate 84, on a corner that begins transitioning into a residential area.
The site is currently owned by JAKIRAM LLC, which shares a Plantsville address with storage systems and materials handling equipment vendor A&A Surplus.
