Farm Field Ridge Plan Withdrawn

A Prospect man has withdrawn his application to resubdivide one lot into two

lots on Farm Field Ridge Road in Sandy Hook.

Douglas Samaha, of Samaha, LLC, on February 6 withdrew his request to

resubdivide Lot 6 in the Black Bridge Farms subdivision into two lots. The

3.2-acre building lot would have been cut into one 2-acre and one 1.2-acre

lot.

Mr Samaha told Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) members he wants to build

two 2,400-square-foot Colonial style houses, which he said would be in harmony

with the neighborhood.

P&Z member Thomas Paisley observed, "It certainly seems to be a very wet

area."

Mr Samaha explained the houses would be situated on high spots on the land.

Commission members learned there are some mapping problems with the

application presented by Mr Samaha, who then withdrew his application.

Farm Field Ridge Road area residents interested in the application attended

the February 6 hearing to learn more about the proposal.

Mr Samaha is expected to submit a new application for a resubivision. P&Z will

advertise a public hearing on the proposal. Abutting property owners will be

notified by mail.
