From the meeting
At its August 18, 2026 meeting the Planning and Zoning Commission heard a pre-application for a drive-thru-only coffee shop at 1345 Silas Deane Highway, presented by Stonefield Engineering and Design, LLC. The concept used two existing parcels, with access from Silas Deane Highway and Town Line Road, two customer lanes, about 18 stacking positions, a 510-square-foot prefabricated building, and a 260-square-foot cooler. Staff said a formal special permit and site-plan review would be required, along with CTDOT review, a traffic-impact study, and Inland Wetlands Commission approval before a formal filing.
No formal action was taken.
