To the Editor:

My wife and I would like to thank St Rose Pastor Father Bob and the St Rose Youth Group, led by Father John, for clearing the leaves from our yard as part of their community service program.

Several physical issues make it difficult for me to manage the fallen leaves. Not only did they do a great job but they seemed to have a good time! In addition, Father John managed his leaf blower like a professional! The entire cleanup was very well organized by the adult coordinators.

What a wonderful way for the youth of St Rose Parish to perform community service. Thanks again, St Rose Youth Group! I would urge all parishioners to support this exemplary group of giving individuals.

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.
