Date: 07/30/2025
Project Address: 158 Fitch Hill Rd
Project Name: Estate of Helen Romano
Reviewer: Doug Colter, Building Official
Upon review of land use documents submitted to the town planning officials, the Building
Official notes the following:
1.) It is unclear how far buildings are from the lot lines. Structures closer than 5 feet have
certain fire resistive and opening restrictions where a lot line change may require a
building permit.
2.) The CT State Building Code states in part and material relevance:
3.) A more detailed survey showing the building setback from the property line is required
to make a more accurate determination.
These comments should be considered a preliminary courtesy review, and not a thorough review under the auspices
of the CT State Building Code. These are not exhaustive or limiting comments, do not create an estoppel, and are
not an approval. A formal Building Permit application accompanied by Construction Documents per CT State
Statutes and the CT State Building Code are required for a formal review, and work is not authorized until a Building
Permit is issued by the Building Official. It is the applicant’s responsibility to coordinate State and Town
requirements at the time of application for approvals.
