Costco’s revised proposal for a Plainfield distribution center would change how the site is screened from nearby homes. Local reporting says the plan widens the minimum buffer from 25 to 40 feet, drops part of an employee driveway behind South Street and adds landscaped berms near Tarbox Road, Pine Lane and North Street.
The proposed Plainfield warehouse would cover about 1.1 million square feet and adjoin a separate 750,000-square-foot warehouse proposed in Canterbury, according to local reporting.
Plainfield’s zoning hearing was scheduled for November 10 at Town Hall, 8 Community Avenue. No decision or next hearing date has been confirmed. Local reporting said the zoning commission must wait for a wetlands decision before acting on the special permit and listed the next wetlands commission meeting for 7 p.m. November 17 at Town Hall.
