Fifth Phase Of Bennetts Farm Approved

The fifth phase of Bennetts Farm, a major residential subdivision in Sandy

Hook, has been approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z).

P&Z members unanimously approved the project December 5.

The approval creates 36 building lots on 84 acres for Bennetts Farm

Associates.

The development application submitted for P&Z review meets applicable

regulations, said P&Z member Heidi Winslow.

Developing the property will require new road construction.

In presenting plans for the fifth phase of the subdivision to the P&Z, Charles

Spath, representing Bennetts Farm Associates, said "This is the final major

section of this subdivision which has been consistently approved by this

commission." Mr Spath commented at a November public hearing on Bennetts Farm.

A building lot designated as Lot 100 on the subdivision plans could

potentially be resubdivided.

The fifth phase of the subdivision conforms with the initial plan for the

overall project which was endorsed by the P&Z several years ago, according to

Mr Spath.
