Monday, June 12, 2006 — Site Visit
Notice is hereby given that the Town of Wilton Zoning Board of Adjustment will meet on Monday, June 12, 2006 at 6:30 p.m. at Lot C–136, 16 West End Highway, to hold a site visit for Case #5/9/06–1, the application of John Zavgren and Bridget Mooney to use the property for a wedding venue business.
The applicants are expected to indicate the proposed locations of parking, toilets, and lighting.
The site visit is a meeting of the Board, and is open to the public. Its purpose is to assist the Board members and other interested parties to become familiar with the property involved in the application. Board members and other interested parties may, through the Board chairperson, ask questions about, and the applicant may point out, site details pertaining to the application, such as boundaries, contours, proposed buffers, driveways, etc. No other testimony will be taken, and no other discussion should occur.
Tuesday, June 13, 2006 — Decision
The application by John Zavgren and Bridget Mooney for a special exception under the terms of Section 5.3.1 of the WIlton Zoning Ordinance has been denied. The special exception, if granted, would have permitted the use of Lot C–136, 16 West End Highway, for a wedding venue business.
The Zoning Board denied the application because of the incompatibility of the proposed use with the neighborhood; safety concerns due to the traffic that would have been generated; the likely impact on the neighbors’ enjoyment of their property, especially due to noise; and because the use would have violated Section 5.3.1(g) of the Zoning Ordinance, which regulates traffic from home occupations.
The selectmen, any party to the action or proceedings, or any person directly affected thereby may apply for a rehearing of this decision. A request for a rehearing must be filed in writing with the Zoning Board of Adjustment on or before Wednesday, July 12, 2006, and must fully specify all grounds on which the rehearing is requested.
