Wetland Disturbance Area 0 sq ft (per Applicant) Watercourse/Waterbody Disturbance Area 0 LF (per Applicant) Upland Review Disturbance Area 9000 sq ft (per Applicant)
STAFF COMMENTS:
• This Application is for regulated activities in conjunction with the development of a
proposed new industrial building in an area that is presently utilized as a paved outdoor
storage area. The proposed building with be utilized as rental space, which will potentially
contain multiple start-up businesses.
• The site consists of approximately 10.16 acres located in the Light Industrial zoning district
with about 239 feet of frontage onto Gallivan Lane. The site contains approximately 4
acres of wetlands and is currently developed with a 48,000 sq ft industrial building with a
lawn area and impervious areas such as driveways and parking lots.
• The Applicant proposes to develop the existing paved area to the east of the parcel with a
19,840 sq ft warehouse building with required parking. As part of this proposed
development, the Applicant proposes to include a temporary sedimentation basin in
accordance with the 2024 CT Guidelines for Soil Erosion & Sedimentation Control, which
will ultimately become a permanent water quality basin in accordance with the CT 2024
Stormwater Quality Manual.
• The inland wetlands boundary was delineated by Robert Russo, Certified Soil Scientist in
November of 2024. The Wetlands Report indicates that Stony Brook Stream runs through
the wetlands along the northern and western parts of the site and there is a 500 year
floodplain, as determined by FEMA, also associated with this Stream.
• The Wetlands Report also indicates that the proposed disturbance would be limited to 9,000
sq ft of upland review area for the removal of an existing chain linked fence and pavement
and the construction of water quality basins.
AGENCY COMMENTS:
• Town Soil Scientist – The referral for comments was forwarded on August 14, 2025 and
