An open letter of thanks about the housing proposal
Thank you to the Fairfield Town, Planning and Zoning Commission for their decision at the special session on December 8th concerning the proposed project at 131 Beach Road. The effort and careful consideration by the Commission of all the evidence that went into modifying the proposed development was impressive and courageous given the history of legal challenges to 8-30g developments in Connecticut.
Again, we welcome affordable housing but, as the Commission recognized, the proposed building was simply too tall for such a small parcel and according to the Commission would have had an adverse effect on the local Historic District.
