Groton The City of Groton Planning and Zoning Commission has denied a master plan application for the redevelopment of several properties on the corner of Benham and Poquonnock roads in the Five Corners area of the city. The application had been the first step in a plan to create a mixed-use development at Five Corners, within walking distance of Electric Boat.
GBU Capital LLC of Scottsdale, Ariz., had applied for approval of a mixed-use design district “floating zone” and master plan for 2 Benham Road/91 Poquonnock Road, 8, 22 and 46 Benham Road and 1 Mariani Court. If the developer received approval, it then would apply for site plan approval for a building with commercial space on the first floor and apartments on the upper four floors. Parking was proposed on site and at 46 Benham Road.
