4, APPLICATION REVIEW
#PL-25-11 — Request of the Town of Waterford First Selectman for municipal improvement in
accordance with Section 8-24 of the Connecticut General Statutes to sell town-owned property
located at 207 Boston Post Road.
ACTION REQUIRED BY: 
7/1/2025
M. Wujtewicz reviewed his staff memo with Commission. He noted that the property had been
acquired by the Town of Waterford through a tax foreclosure.
The Commission discussed the following findings:
1. 
The proposed disposition of municipal property is 
a Municipal Improvementthat qualifies for a
CGS §8-24 review by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
2. 
The parcel’s non-conforming status and location makes it inadequate to provide for services
and facilities to meet community needs.
3. 
The disposition of property known as 207 Boston Post Road aka 1 Tiffany Avenue is
supported by the 2012 Plan of Preservation Conservation and Development in that the parcel
is not included in any existing or proposed Open Space/Greenbelt/Trail System and
therefore would not contribute to the Town’s open space and greenbelt system as identified
on the Open Space Plan.
4. 
That residential properties acquired by the Town should be considered in a larger context
going forward for when the Town implements a formal process in establishing and
managing affordable housing units.
MOTION: 
Motion made by T. Bleasdale, seconded by T. Conderino to approve Planning
and Zoning Connecticut General Statute §8-24 Application #PL-25-11 to dispose
of a Town owned parcel known as 207 Boston Post Road aka | Tiffany Avenue
by adopting the findings 1 thru 4 of the staff report dated June 10, 2025 and to
find that the proposal is consistent with the Town of Waterford 2012 Plan of
Preservation Conservation and Development.
VOTE: 
5-0
