Plum Tree Lane townhouse application under review; Lantern Hill update tabled
Summary
Selectmen heard that the Plum Tree Lane townhouse development near the Mill River is under review and that a related application was denied by Trumbull; an update on Lantern Hill and Aspetuck Land Trust was tabled because Tom Herrmann could not attend, and officials suggested Conservation Commission follow‑up and an 8‑24 referral from P&Z.
The board heard updates on two land‑use matters on March 19. First, First Selectman Dan Lent said the Plum Tree Lane townhouse development near the Mill River remains under review; public hearings have closed and he noted a related application was denied by the Town of Trumbull while the Wetlands Commission continues its review.
Separately, an update regarding Lantern Hill and the Aspetuck Land Trust was tabled because Tom Herrmann was not present. Board members suggested asking the Conservation Commission to investigate and directed Planning and Zoning to prepare an 8‑24 referral, a standard Connecticut review process for municipal land use matters.
During public comment residents asked what was happening with Lantern Hill and why the town would need outside counsel. The board did not take action on Lantern Hill at the meeting; follow‑up was recommended through the Conservation Commission and P&Z.
