Millbrook approves application for Alden Place restaurant

MILLBROOK — Having addressed concerns expressed by neighbors to an existing Alden Place Drive restaurant, the Planning Board approved a resolution at its regular meeting on Monday, Oct. 14, granting permission for the continued use of the property as a restaurant. The vote was unanimous with several conditions.

Conditions attached to the special permit include that the hours of restaurant operations will be 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and that there be no food service, smoking or audio/visual equipment permitted on the outdoor patio. No new light fixtures can be added outdoors.
The approval also specifies the handling and storage of restaurant trash, cleanliness of the trash bin area, and schedule for regular removal.

Reviewing the conditions, Planning Board chairman Frank Redl noted that the escrow account payments are a necessary part of the process, and a new kitchen hood will be installed.

Building owner Nunzio Incorvaia, had successfully operated a popular restaurant at the location for 30 years. Ensuing years had seen different ownership. The building had been vacant for the past year before Incorvaia purchased it.

Incorvaia’s tenant, Alberto Quezada, attended the Planning Board meeting and indicated that he understood the conditions. He plans to operate an Hispanic-American restaurant with a new name, Millbrook Continental.
