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.
