An additional 3,200-square-foot freestanding building was scrapped from the plans before approval, due to the need for more information on the “potential adverse wetlands impacts” it could have created, according to documents filed with the P&Z Commission.
Michaels, the “largest specialty retailer of arts, crafts, framing, floral, wall décor and seasonal merchandise,” according to its Web site, currently operates at 14 stores in Connecticut.
