Pool project near Lake Wackawanna tabled for staff inspection and report
Summary
A proposal to install an in‑ground pool at 12232 Ezra Road was tabled to Oct. 23 after applicant Jamie (Hat City Pools) said the installation is within 200 feet of Lake Wackawanna; staff will drive by, inspect erosion controls, and prepare a staff report.
The Danbury Environmental Impact Commission on Oct. 9 tabled consideration of a proposed in‑ground pool at 12232 Ezra Road to its Oct. 23 meeting so staff can inspect erosion controls and prepare a report.
Jamie, a contractor with Hat City Pools in Danbury, told commissioners the work involves installing an in‑ground pool within the 200‑foot regulated buffer of Lake Wackawanna. The applicant said an engineer prepared a runoff protection plan and that hay bales and silt fence have been installed as temporary erosion controls.
Larry, a city staff member, said construction had already begun but that erosion controls were in place and no environmental impacts had been observed. He recommended a staff drive‑by inspection and said he would prepare a staff report for the next meeting.
The commission voted to table the application to Oct. 23 to allow staff inspection and a formal recommendation. The applicant was told to contact staff when erosion controls are in place so staff can inspect before the item returns to the commission.
