The Town of North Canaan Planning and Zoning Commission closed the May 20 public hearing on a special permit for a duplex at 33 Prospect Street after public comment; the commission said it is likely to rule at its next meeting and that building plans would be required if the permit is approved.

The Town of North Canaan Planning and Zoning Commission closed a public hearing on May 20 on a special-permit application for 33 Prospect Street after public comment from neighbors and an explanation of process by the chair. Commissioner Dalton Jacquier moved to close the hearing and Commissioner Walt Schneider seconded; the minutes record that the "motion carried" and the hearing closed at 7:10 p.m.

Chairman Mike O’Connor explained the commission’s procedural posture: "This is an application to have a multifamily on a piece of property. Multifamily equates to more than 1 family. This falls under a special permit. A ruling will likely be made at the next Planning and Zoning meeting and if it is approved then the details will need to be hashed out with building plans etc." No formal permit decision was made at the May 20 meeting; the commission will consider the application at a subsequent meeting.
