#PL-20-17 — Request of Eileen DeGaetano, owner, Evan DeGaetano, applicant, for a 2-lot
resubdivision and request for waiver of Section 5.3.8 (Flag Lots) of the Subdivision Regulations for
property located at 29 Huntsbrook Road, RU-120 Zone, and as shown on plans titled
“Resubdivision Plan, Boundary Survey Plan Prepared for Eileen S. DeGaetano”
G. Massad and T. Bleasdale stated for the record that they had watched the video recording and
reviewed the submitted material for this application.
M. Wujtewicz referred to his Staff memo (Exhibit 11). He noted that the acquisition of 26,095
square feet of property from an adjoining property owner at 23 Huntsbrook Rd needs to take place
prior to filing of the subdivision plan.
MOTION: Motion made by T. Bleasdale, seconded by J. Bashaw, that based on the information
provided the Commission finds that:
1. The property is located entirely within the RU-120 (Rural Residential) Zone District
2. The division of the property constitutes a re-subdivision in accordance with the definition of
resubdivision within the Town of Waterford Subdivision Regulations and State Statute.
3. The proposed lots will meet the lot design standards of section 3.34, 3.38 and 6 of the Town
of Waterford Zoning Regulations upon the acquisition of land from the adjacent property as
shown on the plan.
4. The parcel from which a portion will be conveyed to 29 Hunts Brook Road will remain a
conforming parcel to the Lot Design Standards and the RU-120 Zone District requirements.
5. The project was issued an Inland Wetlands Permit #C-20-11 and a final report has been
submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission in accordance with CGS 8-26(e)
6. Based upon a review of the information provided in the record, the Commission finds that
the granting of the waiver to Section 5.3.8 allowing one flag lot in the two lot resubdivision
will not be detrimental to the public safety, health and welfare nor will it have a significant
adverse effect on other adjacent property.
And that the Commission grant the waiver to Section 5.3.8 of the Subdivision Regulations
as requested by the applicant and approve application #PL-20-17 with the following
conditions:

J. Prince reviewed the traffic patterns and layout of the building (Exhibit 44). He reviewed the
photographs in Exhibit 43, noting that significant screening will be provided.
Henry Withers reviewed the site lighting (Exhibit 37). Cindy Reynolds reviewed the landscape plan
(page 29 of Exhibit 36).
G. Massad requested that the applicant provide a rendition of the proposed building looking south
from the highway. J. Prince stated that he will try to submit one.
J. Bashaw asked for an explanation of the gantry cranes, and asked if the facility will be in
operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and if trucks will be running 24 hours a day. J. Prince
replied that they will take measures to be in compliance with the noise regulations. J. Bashaw
requested that a noise study be submitted. J. Prince replied that one would be available by the next
meeting.
K. Barnett referred to Exhibits 24 & 25, and asked if trucks could use the weigh station as an
access. C. Brown replied that the weigh station is under the control of the state and they would not
allow the general public to use that as access.
Keith Goodrow, of third party reviewer Fuss & O’Neill, stated that the new material was just
received today, and they will respond accordingly.
J. Bashaw asked if the traffic at Waterford Parkway South and Beechwood Drive and Atria was
considered. Mark Vertucci, Traffic Engineer with Fuss & O’Neill replied that because Beechwood
Drive is a private road, the traffic engineer that performed the study did not consider it.
M. Wujtewicz referred to his comments to Louriero dated 9/21/20 (Exhibit 19), and stated that
responses, revised plans & reports were just received today. Staff will have to review the new
material prior to the next meeting.
It was the consensus of the Commission to wait to receive public comments until the next meeting,
scheduled for October 19, 2020, so that Staff, the third party reviewer and the public have a chance
to review the new material submitted. A. Piersall said that Fuss & O’Neill has requested additional
funds for their third party review.
MOTION: Motion made by J. Bashaw, seconded by T. Bleasdale, to continue the public hearing
