On Saturday, the Newtown Lions Club will host a Pancake Breakfast to benefit the Canine Advocate Building Fund. It will be held at the Newtown Methodist Church on Church Hill Road from 7:30 am to noon. Pound Alumnae will be making special appearances throughout the morning. Tickets are $7 for adults, $4 for children 12 and under, $20 for a family (children under five are free).

And on Sunday, the sixth annual Canine Advocate Tag Sale will be held at 115 Mount Pleasant Road (across from Hot Shots). There will be a Pet Boutique with some very special items for your very special pet, a machine to make real military dog tags for you or your pet, and a selection of furniture, kitchen items, jewelry, vases, lamps, games, patio furniture, tools, audio equipment, exercise equipment, books, tapes, CDs, small appliances, and electronics.

All the proceeds will go to building a new humane dog pound.

Holly Kocet is pushing a false narrative. The facts simply don't bear out any negative impact to the traffic on Mt Pleasant Road. Saying it does , does not make it true. The road handles in excess of 40,000 trip a day. a couple hundred form Castle Hill is negatable.

A Development Must Be A Good Fit

Yea. great decision and it will add to the quality of comments posted.

Finally, The Time Has Come(And Some Reminders)

Not approving a development that has "checked" all the boxes because the NIMBY mob doesn't like it is wrong.

The town historically has strong collaboration with developers, but the primary obstacle arises from community opposition exerting undue influence on the zoning department. This "NIMBY" pressure often leads to project rejections that exceed the department's actual jurisdiction or authority. Consequently, developers face a limited set of options: either engage in expensive legal battles or leverage the Connecticut Affordable Housing Land Use Appeals Procedure (CGS § 8-30g) as a recourse.

Discusses Moratorium

You are correct, Bruce. I know how hard these plans are to put together, but I still believe that we can have more definitive and measurable goals. I know there are a number of units coming online, and the community truly needs them. If only we can move the development of affordable housing to more of a partnership between the community and the developers than the adversarial tug-of-war it seems to be now, that would be good progress.
