P&Z Considers 12 Lots On Paugussett Road

The Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) is considering a land development

proposal to create five house lots on 12 acres on Paugussett Road in Sandy

Hook.

The P&Z conducted a public hearing on the proposal September 26.

Paugussett 34 Partners, a limited partnership, wants to resubdivide Lot 9 at

Forest View Estates, located at 26-32 Paugussett Road.

The P&Z didn't act on the proposal, but continued the public hearing to

October 17 when it is expected the developers will present the P&Z with a road

work agreement between the developers and the selectmen.

In recent months, the selectmen have required developers to reach road work

agreements with the town specifying how the developers will improve town roads

in connection with land development projects.

Jay Keillor of Land Engineering Associates of Monroe, representing Paugussett

34 Partners, said the developers plan to build a 600-foot-long section of new

road. The development would consist of three frontage lots and two rear lots,

he said.

Mr Keillor said the subdivision shouldn't cause any drainage problems on

neighboring properties.

Dan Paynter, a resident of nearby Skytop Drive, said there are icing problems

in the area in the winter. Mr Paynter called for the installation of more

drainage than proposed by the developers.

Mr Paynter also asked that the proposed new homes have wooden siding instead

of vinyl siding.

Mr Keillor responded that the developers have already agreed to install the

drainage required by the town engineer.

The public hearing is slated to resume October 17.
