Controversial warehouse developer makes concessions as it seeks special exception

The Newtown Planning and Zoning Commission is holding a meeting tonight.  Wharton Equity Partners LLC is applying for a Special Exception at 10 Hawleyville Road for a more than 344,000 square foot warehouse with truck docks, trailer, and vehicle parking.  The public hearing was closed earlier this month.  Wharton has agreed to convey 54 acres, more than half the land, into a conservation easement that would protect it from development.  The investor also agreed to reduce the number of dock doors from 76 to 55.  The Newtown Inland Wetlands Commission previously approved its review on a 6-1 vote.
