Shelton Planning & Zoning approves resubdivision of Lot 3 at Fountain Square, 6–0
Summary
The Shelton Planning & Zoning Commission approved a resubdivision of Lot 3 within Planned Development District (PDD) 91 — creating Lots 3A and 3B and confirming easement and parking responsibilities — after staff offered a resolution and minor edits; vote was 6–0.
The Shelton Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6–0 on March 25 to approve the resubdivision of Lot 3 in Planned Development District No. 91, commonly known as Fountain Square, creating Lots 3A and 3B and formally confirming recorded easements and shared maintenance responsibilities.
Chair Robert Cristiano opened the public hearing and staff read the legal notice and exhibits, which included the subdivision plan, certificates of mailing and the recorded declaration of easements. The application was filed for FS Shelton LLC; staff confirmed plans prepared by Rose Tizard and Company LLC were on file.
An attorney for the applicant outlined the history: PDD 91 was approved in 2018 and subdivided into seven lots in 2019; earlier refinements approved by the commission established precedent for lot line adjustments. The representative said the resubdivision is intended to allow separate financing or sale of individual buildings while maintaining the PDD’s shared infrastructure and parking scheme.
Commissioners focused questions on who would enforce and maintain shared features such as parking, landscaping and dumpster locations. The applicant said the declaration of covenants recorded on the land records governs easements and assigns maintenance responsibility—Lot 7 serves as the common area and bears ultimate responsibility for shared infrastructure—and buyers would be bound by those recorded obligations.
No members of the public signed up to speak. After staff offered a draft resolution and commissioners suggested small edits (for example adding the word “upkeep” to a findings bullet), the commission called the roll and approved the resolution to approve the resubdivision. Chair Cristiano announced the motion passed 6–0.
The commission’s approval is subject to recording the revised re‑subdivision map and documentation consistent with the declaration of easements; staff noted final approvals take effect upon filing the subdivision with the town clerk. The action will be reflected in the planning and zoning files and in the land records once recorded.
