A Newtown Planning and Zoning Commission hearing on a proposed dance studio has been postponed to May 16th. There wasn't enough formal notice to properties near 6 Mile Hill Road for the hearing to be held last night.
The applicant is seeking a special permit to convert a one-story building from office space to a dance studio, with a residential apartment, and 21 parking space. The corner property is less than half an acre, used to be bowling lanes and is accessed from Tinkerfield Road.
The public hearing on May 16th is at 7:30pm in the Newtown Municipal Center.
A winery and vineyard has been approved in Newtown for Pole Bridge Road. The Planning and Zoning Commission's unanimous consent takes effect next Saturday. There was mixed public input on the proposal from a Naugatuck couple for the 41 acre site.
A special zoning permit was issued and a site development plan was approved for the project. It includes construction of a barn-like structure for a tasting room, a two-story house for the owners, 21 parking space and areas for the cultivation of wine grapes for wine-making. The land already holds some grapevines.
The facility must obtain a state farm winery manufacturer’s permit.
