Peter L. Engel, Lot H–108–01, 673 Abbot Hill Road in the Residential/Agricultural District, requested a special exception under the terms of Section 6.6.1 of the Wilton Zoning Ordinance to permit a home office for a consulting business as a home occupation.
Before the hearing began, Mr. Faiman asked Mr. Engel if he would like to go ahead with the hearing with only a four-member board or wait until next month when five members might be present. Mr. Engel chose to go ahead and Mr. Faiman called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
Mr. Engel explained that he would be doing a consulting business out of his home. He stated that many of his clients are not in this area of the country but he may have some in the North East in the future. Most client contact is done by phone, computer or by visits out in the field. He stated that his business is a sole proprietorship. He does not have any employees at present but might hire a part-time secretary in the future. If his business grows beyond the one room in his home, he would rent office space. Except for an occasional meeting, most client contact will happen away from the office. Any vehicular traffic would consist mainly of UPS and FED EX deliveries. There will not be a sign.
Mr. Faiman read the requirements for Section 6.6.1 from the Wilton Zoning Ordinance. There were no abutters present.
| MOTION: | Mr. Tuttle moved to approve the special exception as stated in the application, seconded by Mr. Blanchard with all in favor. |
