Tiverton residents will have to wait a few more weeks to weigh in on a controversial plan to build a Seasons Corner Market at the intersection of Souza and Main roads.
Members of the Tiverton Planning Board had expected to continue their Master Plan review of a proposal by Colbea Enterprises last Tuesday, June 7, but postponed it following a medical-related request from the applicant.
Colbea officials to develop a 24-hour market, gas station, and drive-through coffee shop at the corner, but the plan has drawn criticism from some community members who have cited potential traffic congestion, noise and visual pollution, and the overall disruption to quality of life they believe would come with the development.
Additionally, opponents say another gas station is not needed in the area, where two already exist, and that the proposal violates zoning laws and does not align with the town’s comprehensive plan.
The rescheduled meeting will be held Tuesday, July 12.
