New Fairfield Zoning Commission approves new regulations on generators, mechanical equipment

Storm damage has become more frequent in recent years which has prompted more homeowners to install generators.  The New Fairfield Zoning Commission voted this week to approve a new section in town regulations to define mechanical equipment and rules for size and placement.  Mechanical equipment would be required to have a minimum setback of 10 feet from all property lines in both residential and nonresidential districts and be located behind the front building plane of a property.  Mechanical equipment over 500 square feet would require a licensed Connecticut surveyor to determine if a storm water management mitigation system is also needed. Zoning Enforcement Officer Evan White says Brookfield, Danbury, Ridgefield and Redding established mechanical equipment regulations after the 2018 macroburst.  The New Fairfield Zoning Commission is next scheduled to meet on Wednesday via Zoom.
