Weather forecast:
1. Chaos Coffee Café Faces Fire, Community Shows Support (luxcafeclub.com) — A significant fire has heavily damaged Chaos Coffee Café in Wilton, a beloved local gathering spot where one tenant was treated and released for smoke inhalation. Investigators say the blaze likely began accidentally in a coffee roaster. While the café’s future is uncertain, owners are determined to rebuild and are drawing strength from the strong outpouring of support from Wilton residents.
2. Wilton P&Z Advances Housing Growth, Parking Zoning Changes Ahead of State Deadline (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton officials are racing to adopt new zoning rules by July 1 that will shape where and how multi-unit “middle housing” can be built and how much parking new homes must provide. Draft regulations focus on Route 7 traffic mitigation districts and transit-oriented areas, and could limit how much discretion local boards have when qualifying projects meet state standards.
3. Wilton Loses Appeal in Fight Over Proposed 70-Unit Cannondale Apartment Project (goodmorningwilton.com) — A state appeals court has upheld a ruling against Wilton’s Water Pollution Control Authority, reviving a 70‑unit apartment proposal at 19 Cannon Road in Cannondale. The decision clears the way for the project to seek other town approvals and raises new questions about Wilton’s sewer capacity limits, growth management, and long-term planning for Cannondale’s future character.
4. 2 firearms, high-capacity magazine recovered following Wilton crash Tuesday, police say (greenwichtime.com) — Wilton police say two firearms, including an untraceable “ghost gun,” and a high‑capacity magazine were recovered after officers responded to a 4 a.m. crash in town Tuesday. Two people were taken into custody, and police credited a resident’s call with helping them quickly secure the weapons and maintain neighborhood safety.
