Public hearing on Industrial Park rules in Bethel

A public hearing is being held tonight by the Bethel Economic Development Commission.  The group is asking for public comment on revised rules and regulations for Clarke Business Park.  Among the changes is acknowledging the change in name from "Francis J Clarke Industrial Park".  Another change is to accommodate the disbanding of the Housatonic Valley Council of Elected Officials and Bethel being part of the new, larger Western Connecticut Council of Governments. 

 

The regulations are spelled out in a 17 page document.  First Selectman Matt Knickerbocker says the changes have already gone through the zoning process.

 

The rules and regulations cover everything from parking to outdoor storage as well as overall design of buildings within the complex.  Rules for landscaping, lighting and signs are also described.  The rules will be in effect for 30 years with the town having the option to approve 10 year extensions.  The draft rules and regulations say that property buyers must start construction within three years of the purchase and complete building within five years.

 

The public hearing is at 7pm in the Municipal Center.
