The Fairfield Hills Master Plan Review Committee held a meeting on Monday December 6, 2010 at the Newtown Municipal Center, Newtown, Connecticut.
Mr. Floros called the meeting to order at 7:10 pm.
Present: Michael Floros, Nancy Roznicki and Deborra Zukowski
Minutes from meeting 12/6
Summary of Findings
Consolidate emergency services requires estimated 6-7 acres, preferably with direct access to Wasserman Way.
Why FFH
Emergency services require access to Routes 25, 34 & 302 corridors
Central location minimizes longest distance to farthest corners of town
Benefits:
Access to major town arteries
Central location minimizes longest distance to farthest reaches of town
Campus presence to minimize vandalism while buildings remain empty
Visibility / access to people in need
Visual deterrent close to school
Concerns
Need easy and safe access to Wasserman Way
Traffic congestion on Wasserman Way at certain times of the day
Given current public discourse, the recommended acreage includes a 2 acre contingency for fire station. Should the current goal for a new firehouse within the Borough be achieved, this contingency can be ignored.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
