With the planned proposal of 296-units in 17 different storage buildings, plus a two story business office on this 6.8-acre lot that has a lot of frontage on Route 3 just below the Cumberland gas station, this seems like an incredibly ugly ugly ugly commercial use. Like, what could be worse looking than a storage business? It is challenging to try to think up an uglier commercial use for that location......ok...probably a motor vehicle junk yard is worse but it is close.
I envision those single story storage buildings made of cinderblocks with steel overhead doors that usually get built in a remote location....off the main highway....someplace on a lot with a location that does not support a higher commercial use.
Allowing this to get built will not be good for the Weirs in general.....consider what potential buyers and existing owners at the nearby
www.meredithbaynh.com (located-Weirs Beach area, Laconia) just up the hill there about a quarter mile....will be seeing and thinking....a storage business....like one big long yuck!!!
Maybe picture a Marriott-Weirs Beach hotel on that 6.8-acre lot, and remove all the N.H. Veterans's Assoc seasonal civil war era, un-used buildings and campground that are immediately next lot down to the lake and building a Wynn-Winnipesaukee destination casino would be a much better use.....like no kidding....than a crappy storage business.
