East Lyme Wetlands Hearing On 48-Unit Flanders Road Plan To Continue Nov. 9

EAST LYME, CT — The Inland Wetlands Agency is scheduled to resume a public hearing Nov. 9 on a proposed six-building, 48-unit residential development on Flanders Road.

The special meeting is set for 7 p.m. in Upper-Level Conference Room 1 at 108 Pennsylvania Ave., according to the amended meeting agenda.

Property owner and applicant 283 BPR LLC is seeking permission to conduct regulated activities associated with the development at 225 Flanders Road and 235 Flanders Road in Niantic.

The proposal calls for demolishing an existing single-family home at 235 Flanders Road and constructing the residential buildings, a paved driveway, parking lot, utility connections and stormwater management improvements.

The hearing opened Oct. 6. The amended agenda lists Nov. 10 as the deadline for closing the hearing. The application also appears under pending applications.

The town has posted the project’s wetlands permit application and development narrative.

Correspondence includes a letter from Planning Director Gary A. Goeschel II requesting support for an Open Space and Watershed Land Acquisition grant.

Other report items include administrative permits, determinations and the agency’s standard operating procedures.

Members are also scheduled to consider acceptance of minutes from the Aug. 29 and Oct. 3 site walks and the Oct. 6 meeting.
