Planning commission refers Pembroke Road water and sewer extension to City Council
Summary
The Danbury Planning Commission voted to give a positive referral to a City Council request to extend municipal water and sewer mains to 1 and 3 Pembroke Road, including a new fire hydrant; staff reported no objections and noted the project was for a previously approved nine-unit cluster development.
The Danbury Planning Commission voted Oct. 15 to issue a positive referral to City Council for a municipal water and sewer main extension serving 1 and 3 Pembroke Road.
Deputy Planning Director Jennifer Amager told commissioners the extension would bring water and sewer mains onto the driveway for a previously approved nine-unit single-family cluster development and would include a new fire hydrant. "Staff has no objection," Amager said.
Why it matters: Extending mains and adding a hydrant are prerequisites for final building permits and fire protection for the cluster development at those Pembroke Road parcels. The commission’s positive referral moves the matter forward to City Council review and any subsequent permitting steps.
What happened at the meeting: Commissioner Helen Hostetter moved for a positive referral; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission did not raise substantive questions after Amager’s presentation.
Details from the record: Amager said the staff report was dated October 2025 and confirmed the site is within the existing water and sewer service areas. The presentation noted the extension would terminate at the project driveway and that prior planning approval had been granted earlier in the year for the nine-unit cluster.
Next steps: The matter will appear on the City Council agenda for action; the commission’s referral transmits staff’s recommendation and the commission’s support to council for its consideration.
