Danbury considering license agreement for property to Shell

The Danbury City Council is going to look into a request from a business for a license agreement for the use of City property.  Shell gas station on Newtown Road is looking to use 3,000 square feet of city-owned land on Old Sherman Turnpike for parking.  The owners are asking for approval to pay $1,000 a year for use of the land for 7 spaces.  The agreement would be for 10 years, renewed automatically unless terminated.  This is part of a proposed $2.2 million upgrade with an expanded convenience store, new gas pumps and landscaping and lighting.  When the project is complete the facility will add two full time and three part time employees.  An ad hoc committee will study the request with the City attorney, Economic Development Commissioner and Directors of Planning and Public Works.  The additional parking is required under zoning regulations due to the expansion, which calls for an additional 4,700 square feet, and 6 new canopied gas pumps.  An application will be submitted to the Planning Commission.
