Avon commission approves pond dredge and invasive-plant work at Town Fox property
Summary
The Avon Inland Wetlands Commission unanimously approved Application #811 from Town Fox LLC to perform a maintenance dredge on a pond and remove invasive plants at 65 Nod Road, with conditions; the applicant said the pond was last dredged in 2010 and plans to leave roots intact to avoid wetland disturbance.
John Ruzsbatzky, Special Projects Manager for Bozzuto’s, Inc. and Town Fox LLC, told the Avon Inland Wetlands Commission on June 2 that the applicant seeks permission for “additional maintenance on the Property which includes a maintenance dredge on a pond on the south side of the Property that was last done in 2010.”
Ruzsbatzky said the proposal also covers removal of invasive tree and plant species east of the pond; he described a plan to cut back invasives while “leaving the root systems intact so they are not disturbing the wetlands” and to remove dead trees that pose a liability. Emily Kyle, the town’s Planning and Community Development Specialist and wetlands agent, explained that certain activities on existing golf-course properties are treated specially under the Town of Avon Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Regulations and reviewed the application with commissioners.
Commissioners asked questions about the scope and method of the work. Commissioner Daniel Carvalho moved to approve Application #811 with conditions; Commissioner Brian Toal seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The transcript records the approval but does not list the specific conditions; the commission approved the application subject to those conditions being met.
The work is proposed for 65 Nod Road, Parcel #3290065. The applicant noted the prior dredge in 2010 as the most recent maintenance. The commission’s action authorizes regulated activity within or adjacent to a watercourse under the town’s wetlands regulations; any permit or work schedule and the written conditions will be recorded in the permit file following standard staff procedures.
The commission did not record objections in the meeting transcript and no public comments on the application were noted at this session. The next regularly scheduled commission meeting is July 7, 2026.
