At its Oct. 14 meeting the commission approved prior minutes, heard the Zoning Enforcement Officer's report, noted the withdrawal of a 520 West Main zone-change application, had brief public comment clarifying property identification and the Fire Marshal's role, and adjourned at 7:15 p.m.

The Town of North Canaan Planning and Zoning Commission convened Oct. 14 at 7:00 p.m. with Chairman Mike O’Connor presiding.

Zoning Enforcement Officer George Martin read his report into the record. The commission noted that the zone change application for 520 West Main Street had been withdrawn.
