Benchmark Assisted Living Facility 

The property as previously permitted in 2008 and in subsequent minor modifications to those permits) is comprised of 4 assessors' parcels that comprise approximately 38.8 acres located on the east side of Washington Street (Route 53). The property is approximately 1 mile south of Route 3 and proximate to the Hanover Mall. The prior permits allowed for the construction of four new buildings and the reuse of one existing office building. The Target retail store (Building "A" in the permit), Retail "B" anchored by Pet Smart, and the office building reuse were constructed shortly after the permits were issued. The permit included a proposed restaurant on the southern end of the site. The permit was modified in 2018 to allow a bank instead of a restaurant. The bank is currently being constructed. The 2008 permit allowed for a 16,826 sf retail building (Building "B") which was never constructed. The current request is to allow the addition of an approximately 43,000 sf parcel (1143 Washington Street) to the property and to construct a 97-unit, 115-bedroom assisted living facility instead of the previously proposed retail building on the now combined property.
