We'll call the special meeting of the town planning and zoning commission to order.

And my first order of business is going to be uh Miss Andrea.

Would you please give the information to those online?

Sure.

If there is anyone from the public who would like to address the commission, you may do so by raising your hand on your computer.

If your device has a microphone capability, by selecting the participants icon on the Zoom menu bar and then clicking raise hand or by dialing star nine on your phone.

When you are called on, you will be prompted that you are unmuted.

And then please state your name and address.

If anybody will entertain a motion.

Uh there is a requested donation with the event, so if you would like to attend, please reach out to Andrea or the planning department.

Uh we did look at it today, and I believe everyone is up to date with their training, but we did just begin a new cycle.

And so we'll be looking to get the uh four hours of training in for the next two years.

Yeah, December 2025.

Yeah.

So keep you posted on other training opportunities as I come up.

Is there any other planning uh report that you need to give us tonight on anything uh going on?

Um the only other thing is we have uh sent out an RFQ for the POCD update and a Day Hill corridor study.

Um we're going to be conducting interviews with um consultants mid-September and looking to onboard someone in uh towards the end of September.

So as we kind of meet with the consultants and narrow down a list, we'll kind of reach out to you and kind of let you know what scheduling-wise that might look like.

Um we will be looking to select a subcommittee of the planning and zoning commission and members of other commissions and uh at-large members.

Um, but I need to kind of narrow down a little bit of how we did that in the past.

I think I'm going back to 2004.

So I think we'd be looking at three members of planning and zoning and then a couple members from wetlands and the HDC as well.

So what do you do with um inquiries that you get in the interim from people who might be willing or might be interested in um applying to develop a parcel along along the Day Hill corridor?

Um so we are looking to move quicker faster on a Day Hill corridor study.

Um that's being um led by the economic uh department.

It's kind of a POCD update, but just for that Day Hill chapter.

Um so we're looking to onboard a consultant within that same time frame, but look to wrap up the study by February.

Oh, that's good.

Yeah, the POCD update um per the statutory requirements.

We'd be looking at uh October 2025 for adoption.

So okay, thank you very much.

Um now we're going to public hearing special use 1911 Poquanic Avenue then notice.

Oh, wait a minute, the legal notes should be able to read that first, yes.

All right, is your name and address?

Frank Campidi, 1188 North Grand Street, West Southfield, Connecticut.

Okay.

Talk to us.

Um I'm looking to do a Halloween drive-through exhibit at uh Brown's Harvest.

And uh we're looking to do it just for four weeks in October, um, Thursday through Sunday, maybe less than that, but that would be the most hours we uh would be operating.

But we're asking for Thursday through Sunday for the four weeks in October.

All right, there were a number of questions uh that were given to you, Staff Review.

Have you been able to answer all of them?

Yes, I did send them in to Andrew and Todd.

So do you want us to uh we got the eight of them and you've got eight answers here?

Um any questions on his answers?

I got a few.

Um will could you explain um what the lighting to illuminate the road would look like?

Um we're probably gonna use uh uh solar uh lanterns to illuminate it.

And that's only in the entryway.

Once you get in there, it's very well lit because almost everything is done with uh projections, and uh it's easy to see where you're supposed to go.

I think there's a couple spots uh when you enter in the main between the barns and the center, you have to take one left there.
