P&Z approves Newfield Properties' final site plan to legalize a set-aside affordable unit at 241 Hamilton Ave
Summary
The commission approved a final site plan allowing Newfield Properties to legalize a third unit at 241 Hamilton Avenue as an 8-30g set-aside affordable unit restricted at 60% SMI for 40 years, with conditions on porous driveway certification, a planting plan, and recorded affordability controls.
The Planning & Zoning Commission approved Newfield Properties 3 LLC's final site plan to designate the ground-floor unit at 241 Hamilton Avenue as a set-aside affordable unit under Connecticut General Statutes 8-30g.
Applicant attorney Tom O'Donnell described site improvements including a pervious driveway, an infiltration basin and a planted pollinator strip; he said the owner will preserve an existing 26-inch maple and replace it if it fails. Commissioners emphasized certification that the driveway will be pervious prior to issuance of a CO and that affordability restrictions and the affordability plan must be reviewed by the housing specialist and legal department before a zoning permit. "Prior to CO, the applicant will provide proof that driveway is porous," the motion's conditions require.
The motion carried unanimously 5–0. Conditions require recorded affordability restrictions, a finalized planting plan approved by P&Z staff, a porous-driveway certification and maintenance plan, and preservation/protection for the large maple tree.
