Greenwich Planning Commission reviews drainage and minor changes at Building 5 Office Park

The Greenwich Planning & Zoning Commission held a meeting on March 25, 2025, where key discussions focused on drainage concerns and minor exterior changes to local buildings.

During the meeting, a representative addressed questions regarding a proposed development that includes a basement. It was confirmed that no blasting would be necessary, as the site has already undergone prior development. The commission emphasized the importance of reviewing drainage plans, which will be assessed by the Department of Public Works once the application is submitted. The representative encouraged attendees to consult the town's drainage manual available online for further information on standards and requirements.

In another discussion, the commission reviewed proposed minor exterior changes to Building 5 of the Greenwich Office Park. The changes include a covered entry and modifications to the building's facade. The commission debated whether to handle the review internally or refer it to the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). Ultimately, the decision was made to allow ARC to oversee the revisions, as the changes were deemed nominal.

The meeting concluded with a reminder for stakeholders to return with a comprehensive drainage plan for further evaluation. The commission remains committed to ensuring that developments adhere to local regulations and standards.
