Newington renews home-occupation permit at 172 Indian Hill Road with conditions on dogs and noise
Summary
The commission approved a three-year renewal of special permit TPZ 26-15 for a home-occupation dog service at 172 Indian Hill Road with conditions limiting client dogs, overnight stays, and requiring fencing and nuisance protocols.
At its July 22 meeting the Newington Town Planning and Zoning Commission approved a three-year renewal of a home-occupation special permit (TPZ 26-15 / special permit 34-17) for a business at 172 Indian Hill Road. Applicant Amy Costanza said she had received no complaints since the prior renewal and requested the maximum three-year term allowed by the regulations; the commission approved the three-year renewal by voice vote.
The approval carries four standard conditions described in the staff report and reiterated by the commission: a limit of five client dogs on the property at any time (not including dogs owned by the resident), overnight stays limited to a maximum of two dogs, strict protocols to prevent barking from becoming a nuisance, and maintaining or replacing existing fencing around the outdoor area used by clients. The conditions were read into the record by staff and accepted by the commission.
