Seymour board authorizes quitclaim of foreclosed lot to nearby residents and opens bidding on another parcel
Summary
The board agreed June 17 to quitclaim 13 Dolan Circle to Gregory and Jennifer Stevens and authorized marketing 18 Nor Avenue with closed bids due Aug. 15; staff said both parcels were acquired in foreclosure and may need variances or filings before development.
At its June 17 meeting the Seymour Board of Selectpersons authorized two actions on town-held, foreclosed parcels.
Dolan Circle: The board voted to authorize the first selectwoman to convey, by quitclaim deed, the property known as 13 Dolan Circle to Gregory and Jennifer Stevens (or their nominee). Town staff described the lot as acquired by foreclosure after a prospective builder could not put in a well and said the parcel is not buildable without changes to water/septic conditions. The Stevens asked to take responsibility for the parcel, which staff said is currently costing the town maintenance time due to trees and occasional cleanup. Selectperson Trish moved the authorization and the motion passed.
Nor Avenue: The board also authorized marketing 18 Nor Avenue (a foreclosed property zoned R18) for sale. The board amended a marketing motion to set a closed‑bid deadline of Aug. 15 and directed staff to advertise the property and return bids for board consideration.
Planning and zoning referrals: Staff said both actions will follow standard Section 8‑24 planning referrals (positive referrals were noted in the board packet) and that additional land‑use work — including possible variances or formal abandonment procedures for paper roads — will be coordinated with planning and zoning before any conveyance or sale is finalized.
