Spring is here and itâs time to check those important summer fun dates. Residents of Newtown are invited to circle July 14 on their summer calendars for Dinner-In-The-Park, a gourmet dinner for all of Newtown. The enjoyable evening will include a scrumptious dinner and exciting auctions, all presented and sponsored by Newtown Democratic Town Committee, which will also benefit from the fundraiser.

The public is invited to enjoy beautiful Treadwell Park with all its fun activities: swimming, tennis, swings, games and more. In addition, enjoyment will come during a search for outstanding bargains in the stimulating silent and live auctions. Free door prizes will also be awarded.

The noted gourmet chef Jay Gill, a Newtown favorite, has prepared a mouth-watering summertime menu to delight any palate. Dinner will include succulent done-to-your-liking, broiled tenderloin steaks and juicy roasted chicken, with all the delicious trimmings prepared with his professional touch.

Congressman Jim Maloney, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz, and First Selectman Herb Rosenthal are among the national, state and local officials who are expected to be in attendance as guest auctioneers.

Tickets for dinner in the park, at $25 each, are available from members of the Democratic Town Committee. The event will begin at 6 pm at Treadwell Park, on Philo Curtis Road in Sandy Hook. For additional information contact Richard Pilchard at 426-5272.

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.

Why Gun Violence Is Higher In The US

Ned, please familarize yourself with 8-30G, and then please share the unique flaws that may be helpful in formulating a denial An 8-30g project can be denied only on very narrow grounds – i.e., if it presents health, safety or other concerns that exceed a town’s need for affordable housing. According to the TOG website, “projects cannot be rejected for incompatibility with a Town’s Plan of Conservation and Development (POCD); density; traffic congestion; height; aesthetics; concerns of neighbors or the community; and failure to comply with local zoning regulations.” 8-30g proposals are rarely denied by planning and zoning officials because the burden of proof on appeal is on the town. Appeals are costly, but a municipality can be successful in a court case if it has sufficiently established that the concerns leading to denial are factual and substantive.

P&Z Should Reject Vessel Proposal

The town should certainly measure its performance against the statewide strategies. Unless I missed it I only know of one small cluster of homes that would meet the affordable housing program. Given the 500 or so new units being added in the last 10 years I think that 4/500 would not meet the metric to allow for a moratorium. I mean, fingers crossed for a Christmas miracle but I suspect we will see a few 8-30's sent our way in a method to avoid the Nimby mob. Thanks, Nimby mob.

Discusses Affordable Housing

gangs. If I use a firearm in self/home defense, is that gun violence?
