and are subject to the following additional criteria:

required documents, a traffic flow plan and traffic impact report signed
by an engineer licensed to do business in the State of Connecticut, which

in terms of their size, the minimum and maximum number of visits per day,
and the hours of operation, together with proposed means of accessing
the subject premises.

the facility is to be located within 300 feet of any residential structure
4. In evaluating any proposed storage or warehousing facility, the Commission
shall consider, in addition to all other factors contained in these regulations,

specificity, the types of products to be sold and the types of fire-fighting
or other apparatus which would be necessary in any conceivable emergency.
5. In addition to all other factors, the Commission shall consider the
potential of any stored materials to contaminate or otherwise adversely
affect the groundwater in the vicinity, and in appropriate cases, may
also require an engineering report on the potential for damage to any
aquifer if said premises are to be located on or adjacent to an aquifer
or designated-well head area.
6. In considering said application, the Commission shall consider, in
addition to all other factors, the applicants plans for handling surface
