STAFF COMMENTS:
The site consists of approximately 69.70 (+/-) acres located in the R-80 zoning district with about
1425 feet of frontage on Chesterfield Road. This site contains approximately 10.50 acres of
wetlands and is currently developed with a single-family residence.
The applicant proposes to divide the current lot to create (4) new lots, each for a single-family
residence with on-site well and municipal septic and add 10.47 acres (+/-) to an existing property
located at 237 Chesterfield Road. The Applicant states that Lots 2 and 3 have no wetlands, while
Lots 1 and 4 have wetlands located at the rear of the properties; with no activities occurring
within the wetlands or upland review area. The wetlands were initially investigated by James
Cowen on August 3, 2022 and delineated on March 18, 2025.
There is no regulated upland or wetlands activity proposed as part of this 4-lot resubdivision.
The property to be resubdivided is shown on a plan titled “Desautel’s Resubdivision, 257
Chesterfield Road, Montville Connecticut, Parcel ID: 029066000 dated April 9, 2025 with
revisions through May 7, 2025”.
On April 7, 2025 myself and Assistant Planner, Meredith Badalucca conducted a site walk of the
proposed new lots and a copy of the Inspection Report is attached to this Staff Report.
All applicable Town Departments will be providing comments to the Planning and Zoning
Commission in regards to this resubdivision Application.
