Core Refusal Reason
The proposed development would result in a traffic hazard due to intensification of use at a location with restricted sightlines and fails to demonstrate adequate wastewater treatment capacity for the expanded facility.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The intensification of traffic turning movements at a location on the R513 with substandard sightlines would endanger public safety by reason of traffic hazard.
- The applicant has not demonstrated that the existing on-site wastewater treatment system can safely accommodate the increased load generated by the proposed deli and expanded retail area.
- The scale, bulk, and massing of the proposed service station building are considered excessive for this rural village location and would negatively impact the character of the area.
