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

EAST LYME, CT — The East Lyme Inland Wetlands Agency is scheduled to open a public hearing Oct. 6 on a proposed six-building, 48-unit residential development on Flanders Road while continuing hearings on a proposed 13-lot subdivision road and a single-family home on Corey Lane.

The Flanders Road application, submitted by property owner 283 BPR LLC, seeks permission to conduct regulated activities at 225 and 235 Flanders Road, Niantic. The proposal calls for demolishing an existing single-family home at 235 Flanders Road and constructing six buildings containing 48 residential units.

The development would also include a paved driveway, parking lot, utility connections and stormwater management improvements. The agency received the application Sept. 1, and the agenda lists Nov. 10 as the deadline for closing the public hearing.

The agency will also continue a public hearing on a proposed subdivision road on Mayfield Terrace. Oz Enterprises LLC is seeking permission to conduct regulated activities within the 300-foot upland review area of wetlands and watercourses in connection with a proposed 13-lot subdivision road. The hearing opened Sept. 1 and is scheduled to close by Oct. 6.

A third hearing concerns 55 Corey Lane, Niantic, where engineer Will Walter is the applicant and Wayne P. Cooper is the owner. The application seeks approval for construction of a single-family home and associated improvements. That hearing also opened Sept. 1 and is scheduled to close by Oct. 6.

All three projects also appear under the agenda's pending applications, meaning the agency could consider the applications following their respective public hearings.

The agency is also scheduled to receive Inland Wetlands Agent Gary Goeschel II's report. The agenda lists administrative permits for single-family homes at 11 Twin Valley, 14 Twin Valley and 17 Twin Valley, along with a 32-by-16-foot deck at 10 Pattagansett Drive.

The report also lists a determination involving replacement of an existing underground propane tank at 2 Upper Kensington Drive.

The agency is also scheduled to consider its Sept. 1 meeting minutes and hear an ex-officio report from Deputy First Selectwoman Ann Cicchiello.

The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6, in Upper-Level Conference Room 1 at 108 Pennsylvania Ave., East Lyme.
