Really?!?

After 3 months of Hearings and the day before the Hearing must officially close, the applicant for the Ridgefield Winter Club has withdrawn its Special Permit Application before the Planning & Zoning Commission. They are leaving the application open before the Inland Wetlands Board. Attorney Jewell states “as to the special permit applications, the Applicant will submit its revised applications to the Planning and Zoning Commission after the Inland-Wetlands Board makes its decision on the Wetlands Application. We would anticipate that, since the special permit application would be before the Planning and Zoning Commission only, the public hearing will be more focused and concise”. Is that the issue that the Hearings were not focused and concise? Will someone please tell Attorney Jewell and his client that the RWC might be a great concept for its members – it just doesn’t belong in a Residential zone. That was the case in March 2017, is the case today and will be the case in January (or a later month) if he reapplies.
