The Town of Wilton Zoning Board of Adjustment will consider this application in a public hearing in the Wilton Town Hall Courtroom on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 at 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday, March 11, 2008 — Continuation
The hearing on the application by West View Farms, LLC for a special exception under the terms of section 11.4 of the WIlton Zoning Ordinance has been continued to the Tuesday, April 8 meeting of the Zoning Board. If granted, the special exception would permit the construction of a road and utilities that will cross a wetland area in conjunction with the subdivision of Lot B-20, Dale Street.
The Zoning Board will hold a site visit at the property to view the proposed crossing site at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 6.
The Zoning Board agreed that the proposed placement of a fire pond less than fifty feet from a wetland area on the property does not require permission from the Board, because section 11.6 of the Ordinance is not applicable to it.
Sunday, April 6, 2008 — Site Visit
The Zoning Board will meet Lot B-20, Dale Street at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, April 6, 2008 to hold a site visit for this application.
The site visit is a continuation of the public hearing on the case, 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, April 8, 2008 — Decision
The application by West View Farms, LLC for a special exception under the terms of section 11.4 of the WIlton Zoning Ordinance has been approved.
The special exception will allow for the placement of a precast concrete box culvert and the fill required to cross a wetland area on Lot B–20, Dale Street with an access road (20' wide paved, 2' shoulders), to access ten residential units as part of the proposed subdivision of the lot, in the location shown on the plan submitted to the Zoning Board. The total impact to the wetland area is 1200 sq. ft. (a permanent crossing of 800 sq. ft., with 400 sq. ft. of temporary impact).
This decision will become effective when the ZBA receives a plan sheet showing the construction details for the proposed culvert and crossing.
For the purposes of section 17.4 of the Wilton Zoning Ordinance, the use will be deemed to have commenced when the crossing, as approved by this decision, is shown on an approved subdivision plan for Lot B-20, with a note on the plan referring to this decision. This decision will expire if, prior to the construction of the crossing, said plan is revoked, abandoned, or amended so as to change the location or nature of the approved wetland crossing.
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 Thursday, May 8, 2008, and must fully specify all grounds on which the rehearing is requested.
