Public hearing in Bethel on proposed affordable housing applications

The Bethel Planning & Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on June 30th at 7pm to hear the application of Tim Draper for two Affordable Housing proposals.  One is for 11 units to be located at 9 Good Hill Road.  The other is for 9 units at 47 Shelley Road.  The public may send comments via regular mail and email landuse@bethelct.gov. Comments must be received 24 hours prior to the hearing in order to be included.  The state's 8-30g Statute allows developers to bypass local zoning laws, with some exceptions, if a certain percentage are designated as affordable housing.  Residents opposed to the Shelley Road plan are concerned about the high water table in the area.  The Good Hill Road proposal drew opposition about the building fitting with the character of the neighborhood.
