The applicant <br /> has secured Final Plan Approval for the proposed new water bottling facility on parcel <br /> 24, a grading permit, and a well permit from the State on parcel 27, which will provide <br /> water for the water bottling facility in the near term. Additionally, the applicant is in the <br /> process of finalizing drafts of civil, electrical, and building plans for submittal in the first <br /> quarter of 2023 and completion of construction within 18-months thereafter. Given this <br /> timeline, the applicant will not be able to meet the October 2023 deadline and thus <br /> requires the time extension for constructing and occupying on parcel 24. While the <br /> applicant and Bender Consulting, LTD (owner of parcel 28) are considering options to <br /> construct beverage-related facilities (e.g., a brewery or distillery) as permitted by the <br /> subject Special Permit, neither owner has any firm plans or specific development <br /> timetable to complete the project, thus they are requesting the flexibility of a 10-year time <br /> extension to develop and occupy on the remaining two lots. <br /> 3.
