121,000 Square-Foot Self-Storage Facility Approved In Orange

ORANGE, CT — A 121,200 square-foot self-storage facility received construction approval from the Orange Planning and Zoning Commission on June 20.

The 121,200 square-foot self-storage facility was approved at 16 and 22 Salemme Lane.

During the meeting, attorney Sara Sharp, representing Montar Group, LLC., said the building will have a height of 45 feet, and the applicant will attempt to keep as much vegetation possible for landscape and as a buffer.

Project engineer Jeff Bord told the P&Z Commission the property is a 2.06 wooded lot. He said the entrance will have a gate, and there will be 13 parking spaces.

Bord said the hours of operation are seven days per week from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., and there are about 900 individual storage units. He also said they have requested a sanitary connection through a property easement to connect to Yale, but if they can’t obtain the easement, they will provide their septic system.

Commissioner Paul Kaplan made the motion. It was approved unanimously with stipulations that connection to the sewer at Yale or another sanitary disposal system be approved by the Town of Orange Health Department, and a fire hydrant be located on the southwest corner of the property and as much evergreen buffer as possible on the west side of the property.
