Shelton P&Z postpones public hearing for 57‑unit Todd Road project after missing plans
Summary
A planned development district hearing for a proposed 57‑unit, four‑story apartment at 74 Todd Road was not opened Sept. 17 because required architectural plans and certificates of mailing were not available on the city’s public record; the commission adjourned and staff will work with the applicant to reschedule.
The Shelton Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 17 did not open the public hearing for an application by J and L Enterprise for a planned development district at 74 Todd Road after staff and commissioners confirmed required materials were not on the city’s public filing.
Chair Virginia Harger said posted materials on the city website included several documents but that architectural plans and certificates of mailing were missing at the time the hearing was to begin. The application, listed as 25-16, proposes a four‑story, 57‑unit multifamily building on Map 63, Lot 22 in an IA-3 zone.
Commissioners and staff discussed the file history. Meeting materials posted online included an existing survey, site plans, comments from the city engineer, fire marshal and sewer administrator, and a traffic study; the commission noted the applicant had previously submitted a related application (2501) that was denied without prejudice after the applicant indicated major design changes. City staff told the commission that some supplemental documents had been uploaded by the applicant’s office but were not present in the city’s public record at the time of the hearing.
An applicant representative in the meeting said documents had been submitted; staff reported the file in the city system did not include the architectural floor plans and that certificates of mailing had been delivered irregularly and therefore had not been confirmed in advance. A staff member noted a July 30 upload by Mr. Crowder that left traffic statements pending and indicated the site plans were incomplete.
Because the public would not have had a full opportunity to review the complete application materials in advance, the commission declined to open the public hearing. Chair Harger said staff and the applicant must ensure all required materials are uploaded correctly and that staff would coordinate with the applicant to set a new hearing date. The meeting was adjourned at 6:22 p.m.
No formal vote on the application was taken at the Sept. 17 special meeting.
