Plans calling for construction of a 152-apartment development on River Road have been filed with the Shelton Planning and Zoning Commission.
Brian Gioiele/Hearst Connecticut MediaSHELTON — Plans have been filed for construction of a 152-apartment development on River Road.
Developers, listed on the application as KWIZZ, LLC, of Oxford, are seeking a Planned Development District, or PDD, for the nearly 10-acre site listed as 435 River Road. The lot is zoned commercial and was approved for a PDD in the past, but the owners are seeking a new one.
The vacant property is across the street from Cumberland Farms and Hook Line and Sinker as well as the entrance to Jordan Avenue.
The plans are before the Inland Wetlands Commission, with the developer’s presentation beginning last week and continued to the commission’s next meeting.
“You’ve done a very nice job,” said Inland Wetlands Commission Chair Gary Zahornasky about the plans proposed for wetlands mitigation during the June 9 meeting. “You have eliminated a low value wetland and created a nice wetland mitigation area.”
Plans have also been filed with the Planning and Zoning Commission, which earlier this month voted to impose a temporary moratorium on high density developments. The moratorium began June 10, but all applications submitted prior to that date must be heard.
The development calls for the construction of four separate buildings — each with 38 apartments — and a 5,500-square-foot clubhouse. Each of the apartment buildings are proposed to be 11,800 square feet. There are 274 parking spaces proposed.
The property is bounded by residential housing to the north, residential and commercial to the south, commercial to the east and Coram Road to the west. There will be access to the site from River Road as well as from Coram Road, according to the proposed plans.
