Public hearing held on proposed affordable housing in Bethel

Another public hearing has been held in Bethel on a proposed three story housing complex on Whitney Road.  The Planning and Zoning Commission heard criticism from residents about the 30-units proposed for a 1.7 acre lot.  The property used to be a contractor's yard and is located in the Transit-Oriented Development overlay zone.  During the hearing, Commission members heard concerns about fitting in with the neighborhood, traffic and noise.  All of the one-bedroom apartments would be ADA-complaint, and at least six would be designated affordable.  Since the previous hearing, plans were revised to reduce the height of the building.  The hearing was closed on Tuesday.  The next meeting is scheduled for September 13th at  7pm.
