FAIRFIELD, CT A Fairfield affordable apartment complex was approved in September, but is once again a topic of discussion for zoning officials due to proposed changes to the structure.
The Town Plan and Zoning Commission recently reviewed the revised plans for the four-story building at 528 Black Rock Turnpike. The body is expected Tuesday to further discuss developer Alfonso Cammarota s proposal to swap the gabled roof that was originally presented in exchange for a flat rooftop with amenity space. It doesn t change the footprints, commissioner Thomas Noonan said at a meeting April 13. If anything it reduces the size, which is generally a good thing, adds some more amenities to the residence.
