The Ridgefield Planning and Zoning Commission has approved construction of a garage at a four-story building on Ethan Allen Highway in the Branchville section of town.  The Ridgefield Press reports that the commission ruled unanimously that a 22-by-38-foot storage garage, one-and-half-stories high can be constructed.  The parking lot can be repaved and exterior improvements can be made to the main building. The wood-frame building dates back to about 1900. The ground floor, with brick facade, is set up for commercial use.  Offices and apartments are located on the upper floors.  The property owner must put in a sidewalk as part of the Branchville TOD plan, in anticipation of sidewalks connecting properties throughout the area.
