Inland Wetlands Commission resets hearing to adopt newly surveyed wetlands map for March 4
Summary
After missing a public-notice mailing, the commission voted to reset the public hearing to March 4 to adopt newly surveyed wetlands into the official city wetlands map.
The City of Torrington Inland Wetlands Commission voted Feb. 4 to set a new public-hearing date — March 4 — to consider adopting newly surveyed wetlands into the city’s official wetlands map.
Nate Nardi Cyrus, wetlands enforcement officer and assistant city planner, said the commission had previously voted but that staff failed to publish the required public notice in time; the commission agreed to restart the hearing process and set March 4 as the hearing date.
Why it matters: Adoption of surveyed wetlands into the city map affects future permitting and whether particular activities will trigger an upland review area or mitigation requirements. Commissioners said restarting the hearing was an administrative necessity after the missed notice.
Procedure and vote: Commissioners moved and seconded to set the hearing for the March 4 meeting; the motion carried on voice vote.
Next steps: Staff will publish a new public notice and place the item on the March 4 agenda for a full hearing and public comment.
