Statement of Use 
 
 
The Williams School has submitted an application to the Town of Waterford Planning and Zoning Commission seeking Special 
Exception Permit approval to construct a new athletics team and facilities building at its Athletic Complex located at 122

The planned two-story building is 2,400 square foot in footprint and includes an attached 1,500 square foot pavilion. 
 
The planned site improvements associated with the building construction include driveway, patio, building utility services, storm 
drainage, lighting, waste and recycling receptacles enclosure, fencing, and landscape improvements. 
 
The building will be served by the existing on-site water supply well system and subsurface sewage disposal system and existing 
public communication and electric utilities within the Athletic Complex.  All utilities will be installed underground. 
 
The site work associated with the project includes erosion and sediment control, site preparation, clearing and grubbing, 
excavation, grading, building foundation, cast-in-place concrete, storm drainage, utility service, exterior lighting, patio, fencing, 
and turf establishment construction. 
 
The building will be utilized by the schools current facilities staff and athletic teams.  The use of the building isn’t anticipated to 
generate additional vehicular traffic or require a new dedicated parking facility. 
 
The exterior lighting included building mounted lighting will be LED luminaires meeting current standards for backlight, uplight, 
and glare.  All exterior lighting will be controlled by photo cells and timers.

Natural Diversity Data Base
December 2023
Areas
NOTE:  This map shows known locations
of State and Federal Listed Species and
Critical Habitats. Information on listed
species is collected and compiled by the
Natural Diversity Data Base (NDDB)
from a variety of data sources .  Exact
locations of species have been buffered to
produce the generalized locations.
This map is intended for use as a
preliminary screening tool for conducting a
Natural Diversity Data Base Review
Request. To use the map, locate the project
boundaries and any additional affected areas.
If the project is within a hatched area there
may be a potential conflict with a listed
species. For more information, use DEEP
ezFile https://filings.deep.ct.gov/DEEPPortal/
to submit a Request for Natural Diversity
Data Base State Listed Species Review or
Site Assessment. More detailed instructions
are provided along with the request form on
our website.
