In December, board members heard residents' comments and a presentation on the plan, including discussion of proposed traffic changes on Route 3.
Hannaford officials propose a 35,000-square-foot supermarket plus a parking lot to be built as the first phase of a project off Windsor Road just south of Route 3. The second phase is a 20,000-square-foot retail building with more parking, to be built when tenants are available.
In cooperation with the state Department of Transportation, the company plans to install a traffic light at the intersection of Windsor Road and Route 3; to narrow Route 3 to a single lane each way approaching the light; and to reconfigure the intersection of Route 3 and Lakeview Drive.
Planning Board members may decide Tuesday whether to approve the project, or they may continue discussion to a future meeting.
After the Hannaford hearing, the board is scheduled to talk with representatives of Cleveland Street Retreat LLC, owners of part of the Pellerin Campground off Vassalboro Road on the west basin of China Lake, about their proposal to convert rental cabins to user-owned "cabiniums."
