12/28/23 Good afternoon, Attorney Bachman, The Town of Montville is in receipt of the above-
referenced correspondence from the CT Siting Council with respect to Petition 1601 at for solar
installation at 958 Route 163, Oakdale (Montville), CT. Unfortunately, the Town missed the
opportunity to comment on the petition during the public comment period that ended 11/15/23.
After reviewing the Petition with the Town’s new Mayor Lenny Bunnell, I would like to offer the
following comments with regarding to same. Currently, there is a pending application in front of the
Montville Planning & Zoning Commission for a one-lot resubdivision of the property. Months into
the application process I received a Notice of Intent to submit the CSC Petition that proposes a solar
installation on the entire property that is being requested to be subdivided into two lots. Prior to
the filing with CSC, I did attempt to reach out to Attorney Paul Michaud, who sent Montville the
Notice, but did not receive a return call.
My concern is that if resubdivision is approved, the site plan submitted with the petition will be
inaccurate in that the property lines will be different and solar improvements are proposed in areas
of the property that have been dedicated for drainage and access easement to adjacent property
owners and proposed Lot 1 that contains the existing house. Also, the new proposed Lot 2 is
numbered “950 Route 163.” Attached please find the latest plan set for your review approval. I
have voiced concerns to the property owner Dean Fiske and his Attorney James Miele and was told
that Attorney Michaud/Tritec America LLC is aware that the plan submitted to CSC will need to be
revised.
Thank you for reviewing these comments. After today, I will no longer be employed with the Town
of Montville and I have copied Mayor Bunnell on this email for future correspondence. Happy New
Year.
Regards,
Liz Burdick
