We do not want Front Porch Farms to operate a Bed and Breakfast in the middle of a residential neighborhood at 47 Circle Drive, Ridgefield, CT. Commercial business like the proposed B&B do not belong in residential zones where they will reduce safety, lower home values, and ruin the character of our neighborhoods.

Don't quite see how a B&B in a very private Family neighborhood can be a positive addition.
Approval of a variance to permit commercial enterprises in residential areas will open Pandora's box for other variances. Residential means residential. Do not approve B&B's in residential neighborhoods.
Too much potential risk to the neighborhood associated with safety and value to allow this special permit. A very localized and defined residential community is no place for a commercial special permit. Does not make sense from a town planning perspective. It is better suited for a town's business district where multifamily use is typically allowed.
I strongly object to any commercial overnight facilities being permitted in family residential areas. Ridgefield has always prided itself on its commitment to families first and it's uniquely, family oriented neighborhoods, which is why many young families decide to live in our wonderful town . B and B's, as well as any rental facilities. are not appropriate in these neighborhoods. Please do not set a precedent by allowing people to rent out parts of their homes to strangers, in our family neighborhoods. It would have a serious impact, in many ways, on the families in those neighborhoods.
A neighborhood full of small children (that is not in town and on a Main Street) is NOT an appropriate place for transients. Putting us all at risk.
We are residents of Ridgefield and are opposed to commercial ventures being located in residential zones.
We need a new zoning board. People shouldn't have to hire lawyers to keep a residential neighborhood residential. That's not what they signed up for. Apt buildings are going in and no one is looking at height and depth of the buildings ? What happened at Ridgefield Supply ? That was not built to scale and they put a huge structure right up to the sidewalk....horrid.

Please let's protect our neighborhoods. People chose to invest in a residential area and it is not fair to try to convert a neighborhood to mixed commercial use. Let's all be good neighbors and do unto others as we would want to us.
