Pond Meadow LLC is proposing to build 20 residential units on a 2.1 acre parcel at 39 Shelton Road. The land is now zoned for Residence-1 (R-1) or one dwelling per acre. This project would (1) endanger the wetlands existing on the parcel, (2) endanger the adjacent 3.4 acre Shelton Land Conservation Trust, Bushinsky Arboretum, (3) create hazardous and overcrowded traffic conditions at an already busy intersection, (4) create an eyesore at 3.5 stories in an otherwise single residential area and (5) set a disturbing precedent for allowing dense multi-family housing on any current R-1 parcel in Shelton.


WE THE UNDERSIGNED DO HEREBY OPPOSE THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT OVERLAY OF R-1 ZONED PROPERTY IN SHELTON, CONNECTICUT AS PROPOSED BY POND MEADOW LLC FOR THE ABOVE REASONS AND URGE THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION TO DENY THE APPLICATION OF POND MEADOW LLC.

The reach of this petition has reached a level that the Planning and Zoning Commission can no longer overlook. I am now finalizing a formal letter to submit our collective opposition before the next public hearing session.

This project would be a detriment to the overall neighborhood. This site lies within a residential district and would produce significant negative consequences for the surrounding area including dangerous traffic flow from the Route 8 Connector and Bridgeport Avenue and conservation concerns. This development would also violate an important dividing line between residential and quasi commercial uses.

There is no reason to make a crowded intersection more crowded and place 20 families in tight conditions which will prove to endanger the health and welfare of the people living there.

This is to beautiful an area to be disturbed by the building of new homes. All the construction would endanger the wetlands, Bushinsky Arboretum, and other areas in this quiet area of Shelton.

I concur with the stated points. The traffic at the intersection of Huntington Road/Shelton Road and Bridgeport Ave is congested enough without adding multiple residential units. The location near the Route 8S on ramp compounds the matter and presents a safety issue. I am also concerned with the negative impact the new development would have on the wetlands which has repercussions beyond our community.

This is much too high a density for that property and I oppose it for all of the reasons listed. I live in Trumbull, just around the corner. To me, that location is the gateway to Shelton for many people. The high level of dense development along Bridgeport Avenue with no accommodation for pedestrians (sidewalks) or consideration for the traffic or impact on the greenway/water company land is disconcerting.

Due to 1-acre zoning a maximum of 2 single family homes should be built on this parcel.

Zoning laws were created for a reason. The park is a wonderful open space that helps enhance the towns appeal. Please do not overturn the zoning and lead to more overcrowding
