As part of this honor they are required to display this banner according to the requirements set forth by the Connecticut Dairy Farm Beautification Program.

Mr. Casiello was reseated.
Michael Greenberg, 4 Old Mill Road
The proposal is for a personal training facility with minor changes to the interior of the establishment. The square footage of the facility is 1450. There will be up to 15 people at one time in the facility. No exterior alterations are proposed.
Mr. Casiello stated that this is a permitted use in a permitted location.
Redding Veterinary Hospital
The proposal is for a fresh fruit and vegetable stand with possibly baked goods. The location is on the veterinary property and will occupy 300 square feet of the parking lot. The stand would be seasonal and only on Saturday and Sundays.
Mr. Casiello asked that Mr. Gormley confirm the parking area will remain adequate. He also stated that the use is permitted in that zone.
Highstead Foundation Inc., 127 Lonetown Road
The proposal is for an 1100 square foot addition for workspace and a Director’s Office. There will be no increase in parking or lighting. The amount of employees as a result of the addition will increase by one.

If it is found that this is a special permitted use, a public hearing will be required. This matter will be settled by the August 8, 2007 meeting.
There was no correspondence.
