Reception, Consideration of Completeness, and Schedule Hearing Landscape Architect Mark Arigoni of SLR Consulting joined the meeting to represent the application. Civil Engineer Todd Ritchie of SLR Consulting, Land Use Attorney Josh Mackey, and Development Team Project Partners Steven Cohen and Jonathan Marrale were also present to address additional comments and questions. Mr. Arigoni provided a slideshow presentation to review the application. Mr. Cohen explained a plan to improve the Wake Robin Inn has been in process for over a year. The outcome of this project is to renovate the Inn and property restoring its former liveliness, offering various amenities and attractions for visitors and town residents. Mr. Arigoni explained documents submitted with their application included an authorization from current property owners, a project narrative, parking analysis, A-2 survey, full site engineered drawings, drainage report, architectural drawings, and a zoning compliance letter. Mr. Arigoni noted that additional resources will be completed in time for the public hearing including photometric plan, coordination with Water Pollution Control Authority (WPCA) and Aquarion, a traffic study, and the IWWC application. Mr. Arigoni added that there is a request in progress with Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) and to the National Diversity Database (NDDB) which had requested that the applicant perform botany surveys to locate potential species of concern. Mr. Arigoni explained that these surveys documented the Handsome Sedge on isolated areas of the property and these plants could potentially be relocated before construction. Mr. Arigoni reviewed the Zoning Data Table and A-2 Survey. He explained the project is located on two separate parcels. These include 53 Wells Hill Road (a 2.26-acre residential property with three existing structures) and 104/106 Sharon Road (a 11.28-acre property with a hotel structure and accessory garage). Mr. Arigoni explained an AT&T cell tower is planned for construction on this parcel beginning November 2024. A right of way exists to service a landlocked property southeast of the parcels, and an easement is in place over the driveway that services 53 Wells Hill Road. Mr. Arigoni shared images showing the proposed architecture of the Inn, twelve cottages, and an event barn. Mr. Arigoni shared the proposed site plan. A paved driveway will have defined parking, turnaround and drop off area for the
