1. File #2003-10 – Application for Modification of Special Permit for property at 666
River Road (Map 20, Lot 1-03, Zone DI, 15 acres). Owner/Applicant: Carol &
Roger Schofield. (Received 2/18/2003; Hearing by 3/18/2003; Decision by
5/20/2003.)
Carol Schofield spoke, saying the site has been approved. She said the vending machine has been approved by the state but still has to be approved by the town. She said the machine will be inside the existing building and the front will be flat-faced. Mrs. Schofield gave out copies of the sheet describing the WV-I Dispensing Unit. Containers will not be provided.
Radell asked what company name this enterprise will be under and Mrs. Schofield answered Schofield Springs, Ltd.
Tulis said a special permit was approved some time ago for bulk distribution. Under the state statutes they have to come up with another source of distribution.
Trueb looked at vending machine regulations.
Tulis asked what specific state regulation requires two distribution methods, and Mrs. Schofield said she did not know. Tulis said that this is an existing special permit from October 20, 1998 that they’re here to modify. He quoted the conditions of the special permit.
After a brief discussion, the consensus of the Commission was that no public hearing was required for this application.
Tulis said he’d like to see two things: 1. where in the state rules is the applicant getting requirements for distribution methods, and 2. compliance with all state and local regulations.
Trueb asked what size containers will be filled, and Mrs. Schofield replied 1-5 gallons.
Tulis reminded the applicant to make sure the vending machine complies with Eastern Highland Health District regulations.
MOTION: To not require a public hearing on this vending machine modification
for File #2003-10.
By: Trueb Seconded: Ellis
Result: Motion passes unanimously.
Tulis said that this application will stay on the agenda for the next meeting, March 4. He asked the applicant to get the requested information in to Sue Yorgensen.
2. Expiration of a subdivision that includes assessors Map 7, lots 5-A1, 5-A2, and 5-A3.
A Plan entitled “Resubdivision Plan Prepared for Richard P. and Joan P. LeBlond,
Daleville Road, Willington, CT.” Sheets 1-3 Dated 5/11/92, Approved 9/15/92,
Expired 12/8/97, Extension Granted, Expired 2002 pursuant to CT General Statutes
Section 8-26C.
Tulis said that Agent Yorgensen outlined our plan of action to our attorney: to put the matter on the agenda, send the developer a copy of the agenda via certified mail, have the Commission make a motion that it has expired, and then have a notice published. He read the Connecticut General Statutes, Section 8-26C. Tulis said that since the return receipt could not be located and the agent could not be reached, action should be postponed until the next meeting
E. Old Business
1. Release of Bond for expired subdivision. Joan P. LeBlond, Owner. 275 Daleville Rd.
This matter was postponed until the next meeting on March 4.
