East Lyme Wetlands Agency To Resume Hearing On 48-Unit Flanders Road Development

EAST LYME, CT — The Inland Wetlands Agency is scheduled to resume a public hearing Nov. 9 on a proposed six-building, 48-unit residential development on Flanders Road.

The special meeting is set for 7 p.m. in Upper-Level Conference Room 1 at 108 Pennsylvania Ave.

Property owner and applicant 283 BPR LLC is seeking permission to conduct regulated activities associated with the development at 225 Flanders Road and 235 Flanders Road in Niantic.

The proposal calls for demolishing an existing single-family home at 235 Flanders Road and constructing the residential buildings, a paved driveway, parking lot, utility connections and stormwater management improvements.

The hearing opened Oct. 6. The agenda lists Nov. 10 as the deadline for closing it.

Under new business, the agency is scheduled to review an application from Owen Kahn and Amy Nicole Blodgett for a proposed single-family home at 0 Mohawk Drive in Niantic. They are seeking a determination of permitted or nonregulated activity for construction that includes a driveway, utilities and a subsurface sewage disposal system.

The inland wetlands agent’s enforcement report lists a notice of violation involving 9 Rocco Drive, naming Darrell Vanwagner as the respondent. The agenda does not describe the alleged violation.

Correspondence includes a letter from Planning Director Gary A. Goeschel II requesting support for an Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition grant.

Other agenda items include the agency’s standard operating procedures and acceptance of minutes from the Aug. 29 and Oct. 3 site walks and the Oct. 6 meeting.

Applications are available for public review in the Land Use Department during regular business hours.
