Here are the top stories in Glastonbury today:

The Glastonbury Town Plan and Zoning Commission voted unanimously at a recent meeting to approve the request of Corrine Crocker-Luby for a use variance to allow special event venues at 83 & 97 Naubuc Avenue. The proposal still requires additional approvals before being finalized.

Mr. Mullen explained that the applicant is looking to expand her business, the Tiffany Juliet House, which is a wedding event space, according to meeting minutes.

Prior to 2015, both properties were in the Planned Industrial Zone. Augur added that the applicant sent in several letters of support, but since this is not a public hearing, they will be available to the ZBA for their deliberation.

Secretary Michael Botelho asked about the current use of the property. Luby stated that it is currently residential use. When she purchased 83 Naubuc Avenue, it was mixed use. The small ranch is considered residential.

Botelho asked if there is a maximum number of people who can attend her events. Luby stated that weddings could go up to 150 people, but with COVID-19, it has gone down to 100 or fewer. Commissioner Keith Shaw clarified that the Commission is simply asked to make a recommendation to allow this as a permitted use in an otherwise mixed-use area with other businesses in the vicinity, meeting minutes state. He asked about the parking. Luby stated that she is required to have one parking space for every three people. She stated that she will have a combined parking agreement between the properties, as the owner of all three: 33 spaces at 83 Naubuc Avenue, 31 spaces at 97 Naubuc Avenue and 17 spaces at the Tiffany Juliet House.
