Mark Wujtewicz, Planner 
RE: 
 
Waterford Public Schools Safety Improvements 
 
On June 25, 2024, the Planning and Zoning Commission approved an CGS §8-24 application PL-
24-10 submitted by the Waterford Board of Education for safety improvements to Great Neck, 
Oswegatchie, Quaker Hill, Clark Lane Middle and Waterford High Schools. The Commission 
reviewed and found the proposal consistent with the 2012 Plan of Conservation and Development 
and stated its findings on the record. During the review process and discussion, the Commission 
requested an opportunity to review the details of the improvements at a later date. 
 
It is noted that the improvements proposed do not qualify as a site plan as defined in the Zoning 
Regulations. Section 22.1 of the Zoning Regulations states, in part …  
 
“Each use for which a site plan is required is a potentially significant 
addition to a developing or developed area of the Town, and to a 
residential, commercial or industrial neighborhood…”  
 
While the improvements, which are proposed, are not considered significant additions to the 
school properties, the applicant is providing details of the project as requested and will be present 
at the meeting to review the proposal with the Commission.
