Torrington wetlands commission denies Perugini application without prejudice over incomplete stream‑crossing plans

The City of Torrington Inland Wetlands Commission denied without prejudice an application on Jan. 6, 2026, by Maria Perugini to build a single‑family home at 811 Torreyford Street (Assessor's Map 144, Block 2, Lot 2) in the Upland Review area. The denial was made because required plans for a wetlands/watercourse stream crossing and associated rehabilitation were incomplete and the work had not been finished within the statutory timeframe.

The commission’s staff presenter (identified in the transcript as Speaker 1) recommended denial “to allow the applicant to resubmit once they have their plans fully put together,” citing unfinished stream‑crossing work shown on the plans. A motion to deny without prejudice was moved and seconded and the chair announced the motion carried.

The commission record introduced the precise project identifiers and the scope listed on the agenda: single‑family construction with a wetlands/watercourse crossing at 811 Torreyford Street. The staff recommendation emphasized that the applicant had begun some corrective work but had not completed the rehabilitation called for by the city engineer’s comments, and therefore the commission could not complete its review.

Under the commission’s action, the applicant may return with complete plans. The transcript does not include additional conditions or permit approvals tied to the motion; the denial was procedural and allows resubmission for a future meeting.

The commission moved on to other agenda items after recording the outcome. The applicant’s next procedural step is to finalize the stream‑crossing / rehabilitation plans and refile for commission review.
