Request to build Dollar General in Monson withdrawn
Updated Dec 16, 2020;
MONSON A tornado-ravaged property on Main Street will remain unchanged for now.
A request for two special permits to build a 9,100 square-foot retail building at 96 Main St. has been withdrawn “without prejudice” and the developer has no other special permit applications before the town, according to Town Planner Daniel Laroche. While the Connecticut-based developer never identified a tenant, Angela Petkovic, a spokesperson for Dollar General Corp., had confirmed the discount retain chain was eyeing the Monson site.
Development of the site has generated some public outcry in the community, including a public protest and petition via Change.org urging the Planning Board to deny the developer’s application after the June 16 hearing. The petition garnered more than 1,400 signatures.
A 1.07-acre property at the northeast corner of Main and Smith streets soon will house a 38-unit boutique apartment building and cafe.
Winter Garden commissioners approved an ordinance Thursday, Dec. 10, that will rezone the property located at 199 S. Main St. and 158 S. Woodland St. from Central Commercial District to Planned Unit Development.
The rezoning paves the way for a new two- to three-story building with 38 apartment units and a cafe on the first-floor corner unit.
According to city documents, there will be a 54-space parking lot within the site’s interior area. The building will front the road and obscure the parking lot, which will be accessed off South Woodland Street. Tenants will have one parking space per bedroom.
