Public Hearing on Site Plan Improvements to the United States Post Office Parcel and a Portion of Post Office Road for Storrs Center

The Mansfield Downtown Partnership will hold a public hearing on plans for site improvements to the United States Post Office parcel and a portion of Post Office Road in Storrs Center on Tuesday, July 12 at 7:00 pm in the Town Council Chambers in the Audrey P. Beck Municipal Building (4 South Eagleville Road).

The purpose of this hearing is to receive written or oral comments for the purpose of determining whether the submitted Zoning Permit application is in compliance with approval criteria for the Storrs Center Special Design District (the Storrs Center Special Design District regulations are available on the Partnership's website at www.mansfieldct.org/mdp).  The public hearing will include a presentation of the proposed plans.  Application materials, including project mapping, are available for review at the Mansfield Planning Office (4 South Eagleville Road), the Downtown Partnership office (also at 4 South Eagleville Road), the Mansfield Public Library, and online at www.mansfieldct.gov.

Storrs Center will be a mixed-use town center and main street corridor at the crossroads of the Town of Mansfield and the University of Connecticut and will feature retail, restaurant, and office uses with a variety of residence types all within walking distance of existing civic spaces, including E.O. Smith High School, the Mansfield Community Center, and Town Hall. The Post Office parcel is located on Post Office Road in Mansfield.  The proposed work entails modifications to the site surrounding the Post Office facility, including parking, grading, and drainage improvements to that portion of Post Office Road fronting the Post Office facility.
