Opposing Zone Change for 38 Hubbard St: Promote Appropriate Development
Final supporters
The undersigned urge Glastonbury Town officials serving on the Town Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council to properly apply the ordinances, regulations and common sense and reject the application by JS Advisors, LLC for rezoning 38 Hubbard St..The application is tied to the proposal to convert the former Consolidated Cigar warehouse to 31 condominiums (and associated resident access and insufficient parking) on this 1.2 acre parcel. We are in support of reuse of this property at a density more fitting with the parcel size and consistent with the underlying character of the district. We believe a more reasonable density will be more consistent with the ARZ regulations and intent and will result in a more successful project. this will benefit the future residents, the neighbors, all who enjoy the Town Green and will better reflect the vision of our Town.

This building has no redeeming architectural value. It is only a pawn to take advantage of good intentions to conserve worthy architecture to make a profit at the cost of the neighborhood ambiance. Design intentions for parking might look plausible on blueprints when tenants obey the regulations, but that reality would test them having to use tandem parking and fighting for so few guest spots. These conditions will most likely force vehicles beyond the boundaries of the property.
My property is right next to 38 Hubbard street. I am at 50 hubbard street. I feel that 31 condo units is too many for about one acer of land.
Please consider all of us that use The Green. This includes the safety of the older people who cross Hubbard at Loft St., the GHS students that cross Hubbard and run along The Green for club sports, all the bikers, and the families who play there. This is a very active area for town residents. Please keep our safety in mind.
Parking for 31 condos will be an ongoing problem that will negatively impact the Green across the street. The increased traffic in & out of the property will cause increased congestion at the Main St. & Hubbard corner that is already a problem.
I am hopeful that we can come to a solution that enhances the warehouse and fits in the neighborhood in a positive manner. The green area is a pearl in our historic town and appropriate reuse would be a coup for everyone. Unparallelled density, small condos, windowless bedrooms and inadequate parking is not the answer.
Stop turning Glastonbury into a rental and transient town!
Glastonbury is soon going to be just like every other high priced town in CT. Going are the beautiful farms, open spaces and the quaint downtown, some of the reasons we moved here. It’s a shame.

Too many units, non affordable units, tho windows are not required per regulations due to sprinkler system ~ most deaths are from smoke inhalation of toxins ~ a window would allow fresh air ~ sprinklers don’t stop smoke !
