To the Fairfield Patch:
We want to thank the Fairfield Town Planning and Zoning Commission for their decision at the special session on Dec. 8 concerning the proposed project at 131 Beach Road. The thought, effort and careful consideration by the commission of all of the evidence that went into modifying and reducing the proposed development was not only impressive, but courageous given the history of legal challenges to 8-30g developments in Connecticut.
Again, we as a neighborhood and a community welcome affordable housing but, as the commission recognized, the proposed building was simply too tall and massive for such a small parcel, and, according to the commission, would have had an adverse effect on the local historic district.
