The Planning and Zoning Commission has scheduled a continuation of its January 14 public hearing on Three Stewards Real Estate’s application for the modification of an existing special permit and associated site plan modification for the Manor House Inn to February 11, its next meeting.
The move came Tuesday night after a three-hour-plus hearing that filled the Hall of Flags at Botelle School.
The hearing began with a detailed presentation by Rachel Roth of Three Stewards; Andrea Gomes, her attorney, and the consultants who worked on the design.
Roth, who testified that she has been upgrading the inn since she purchased it in 2022, said she must modernize the structure to make it economically viable. The plans and other application documents are available on the town website. To view them, click here.
During the hearing, numerous residents spoke, both favoring and opposing the application. The Commission received many written communications that will be read into the record at the February 11 meeting. It urged those who wish to send additional communications related to the application to do so in advance of the February meeting so that it has the opportunity to review them. Written communications may be sent to Zoning Enforcement Officer Stacey Sefcik [mailto:zeo@norfolkct.org]
Commissioners also listed their own areas of concern so the applicants can prepare responses for February.
