Mausoleum proposed for St Peter Cemetery in Danbury

When the Danbury Planning Commission meets tonight, members will open a public hearing into a request by the Bridgeport Roman Catholic Diocesan Corporation to build an 800-square-foot mausoleum at St Peter Cemetery.  Plans call for locating the structure next to an existing mausoleum at 71 Lake Avenue Extension.  The “garden-style” mausoleum would be on a 1-acre site where there is already an office and maintenance building.  The proposed mausoleum will contain 264 crypts and 144 niche spaces.  A memo to the Commission from the city’s Planning Department considers the plans satisfactory and there is no need for additional parking.  A variance was previously approved by the Zoning Board of Appeals to reduce the yard around the proposed building.  Tonight's meeting is being held via Zoom starting at 7:30pm.
