be classified as a tag sale and should be handled administratively.

Application 11-11Z, Earth, Wind & Solar, LLC, 1 Longwood Road, Redding, CT. This is for proposed Amendments to Section 5.15 of the Redding Zoning Regulations. Mr. Flanagan noted that some application fees were received for this application, but additional fees will be required for engineer and attorney review of the application. The applicant, Mr. J. Parker Coates, stated he would like the application to move forward, and he does not believe an attorney and engineer review will be necessary as the Zoning Commission has attorneys on the board and the project requires the work of a certified engineer. Mr. Casiello noted that a change in the zoning regulations will require review by the Redding Planning Commission, surrounding towns, SWRPA and HVCEO. He added that a Public Hearing
could be scheduled based on all review fees being paid. Mr. Flanagan will have a Scope of Work prepared by the town attorney and the town engineer and will forward those cost estimates to Mr. Coates.
