The Town Planning and Zoning Commission held a hybrid regular meeting on April 14, 2026 at 7:00 PM in the Council Chambers at Windsor Town Hall. The meeting addressed reapprovals, the planner’s report, application acceptances, and public hearings on multiple special use permits, design development plans, and a subdivision. The commission approved several applications with conditions, recessed one hearing due to pending wetlands issues, and recognized commissioners for service awards.
All four reapprovals were approved without discussion.
My clock. We'll bring the planning and zoning commission meeting to order. And uh Mitch, would you give us the uh works for those online? If there's 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 were called on, you'd be prompted that you were now unmuted. Please state your name and address for clear communication. We ask that you do not place the call on speakerphone. Thank you. Uh first order of business is public communications and petitions from anyone in the audience that wishes to speak to an item that is not a public hearing item this evening. Seeing no one, uh no one online. Thank you. Uh communications and petitions from the planning and zoning commission. I'd like to welcome Diane Whitney as a new alternate to the planning and zoning commission. She's our first meeting tonight. Uh we have no zoning enforcement. We have no CGA period. Reapprovals and revisions. Um yes, ma'am. There have been uh four reapprovals since our last meeting. Um the first was a site plan revision for four batch elder road. Uh this was a renovation and minor addition uh NZ Zone, Olsen Construction Services LLC. Uh the second site plan revision was for 425 Day Hill Road for the parking uh I zone uh Alfred Associates Inc. And then the third was for uh 1002 Maddieannic or one Emerson Drive uh to add an EV charger pedestal, uh G zone Cardona, and then the last one was for 824 Marshall Phelps Road to add a deck and the I zone uh Cronin. Thank you very much. Um I just ask a question before we move on. Who is the zoning enforcement officer now? So the zoning enforcement officer has been uh designated by the town manager's office, uh and it generally is sort of the building official. Um so that would be Jeff Cortanis is the official zoning enforcement officer. He has delegated some of his zoning enforcement duties to Jim Zeller, who is the one that actually goes out and actively tracks and manages zoning evaluations. I'm just anticipating with the growing season beginning of you know lawns that aren't getting mowed and that sort of thing. Well, that's addressed through a blight. Um health department, so yeah. All right, we have no site plans. We have the minutes of March 10th. Um I didn't find any corrections. Whoa. It was a quick meeting. That was a good one. Okay, I'll understand a motion then. I move um that the draft minutes for the meeting of March 10th, 2026 be approved as presented. Second motion made and seconded by Mr. Gibson. All those in favor? I okay. We have a public uh business meeting. Planner's report. Um so just a couple things I want to update you on. We have submitted an application for a tax amendment to address uh public act 25-1. Uh this is the housing bill for transit community middle housing. And then transit community middle housing is defined as a residential building containing two to nine units uh and would be permitted in lots zone for commercial or mixed use uh subject to a summary review or site plan review.
