APPLICATION #: SUB20-02 APPLICATION TYPE: Subdivision STAFF PLANNER: BL

PROJECT NAME: 55 Starr Street Subdivision

ADDRESS / LOCATION: 55 Starr Street

CAM: WRPD: WETLANDS: Yes No No

TERMINAL ACTION DATE: 2/11/21 SUMMARY DATE: 1/21/21

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED: N/A SITE AREA: .96 AC 41,695 SQ FT

EXISTING LAND USE / ZONING: Single Family Residential / Zone RS-12

SURROUNDING LAND USE / ZONING DISTRICT(S):

NORTH: Vacant / Zone RS-20 SOUTH: Residential Zone RS-12

EAST: Residential / ZoneRS-12 WEST: Residential / ZoneRS-12

HISTORY: The Site has been occupied by the existing single family dwelling since approximately 1945. A ROW easement exists on the eastern edge of the property that provides access to adjoining properties. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The parcel is located on the south side of Starr Street at 55 Starr Street in Mystic and is currently occupied by a single family dwelling. The property is approximately .96 acres in size and is located in a RS-12 Zoning District. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing dwelling and subdivide the 41,695 square foot parcel into 3 lots. The proposed lots would be approximately 12,024 square feet, 13,138 square feet, and 16,533 square feet in size and a dwelling is proposed on each newly created parcel. The property is zoned RS-12 and therefore the minimum lot size in the zone is 12,000 square feet. Each lot is proposed to have the required amount of frontage along Starr Street with each lot having a separate driveway access.

The subject site is also located fully within the Coastal Area Management Boundary. As such, the subdivision required a coastal site plan application.

Waivers: The applicant is requesting a waiver from the frontage sidewalk requirements of Section 4.7 of the Subdivision Regulations. This is discussed further in the following section.

LAND USE / DEVELOPMENT ISSUES ANALYSIS:

Land Use/Zoning - As previously stated, the proposed lots meet the minimum lot area and width requirements for the zone and also have the required amount of frontage off Starr Street. The applicant is also showing 3 proposed dwellings that meet the other setback requirements of the zoning regulations.

Access – Each lot will have access off Starr street though individual driveways. Driveway widths at the right of way/property line are proposed to be 12’ wide.

Stonewalls and Trees - All stonewalls on the site with the exception of approximately 12’ for a driveway entrance will remain undisturbed and will be retained. Currently there are 5 existing street trees along the properties frontage. Four of the existing trees appear to be sycamore maples and are located along the southwestern side frontage. The other existing street tree is an evergreen. The applicant is proposing to maintain 4 of the 5 existing street trees, with the exception of the one sycamore maple that is located at the entrance of a proposed driveway. An additional street tree is proposed in the northeast corner of proposed lot 3. Maintaining as much of the stonewall and existing mature street trees will preserve the streetscape and historic and natural features of the site.

Open Space Requirement- Due to the size of the lot and limited beneficial open space, the Applicant is requesting a fee in lieu rather than providing 10% of the land area for open space to the town. An appraisal was prepared for the property by a licensed real estate appraiser who determined that the fair market land value of the property is $215,000. The Town’s Tax Assessor also reviewed the proposal and found no issues with the assessment. The applicant has submitted a request to pay the town $21,500 which would amount to the equivalent of 10% of the fair market value of the land prior to the subdivision. If accepted by the Commission, Section 4.9(5) requires that a payment in lieu of open space must be provided in full to the town prior to recording the plans.

Utilities – All proposed utilities will be located underground. The site will be serviced by Aquarian Water and public sewer.

Sidewalk: The Applicant is requesting a waiver from Section 4.7 of the Subdivision Regulations. This section states that for subdivisions on existing roads, the Commission may require frontage sidewalks along the subdivision’s lot frontage. There are currently no sidewalks on either side of Starr Street.

Drainage and Erosion and Sediment Controls – The overall impervious coverage on the site is proposed to be increased from approximately 5.3% to 23.8%. To mitigate for this increase, the Applicant is proposing a rain garden on each lot. The grading for the three lot subdivision has been designed to grade away from adjoining properties.

CAM- As previously stated, the entirety of the parcel is located within the Coastal Area Management Boundary and a Coastal Site Plan application is required. The existing coastal resources on the site are coastal shorelands associated with the Mystic River which is approximately 471’ to the east. Due to the proposed erosion and sediment control methods, the proposed rain gardens, and buffer distance from the Mystic River, Staff consistent with the applicable goals and policies of Section 22a-92.

ATTACH ANY RECOMMENDED ACTION, INCLUDING MODIFICATIONS AND/OR CONDITIONS AND TECHNICAL ITEMS.

Planning and Zoning Commission Re: 55 Starr Street Open Space Proposal

Upon review of the proposal to designate a portion of the parcel on 55 Starr Street as Open Space the recommendation is that the Town accept a fee in lieu equal to 10% of the appraised value to be used to secure a future open space parcel that would protect a space with a more important habitat or improve the level of service in an underserved portion of the community. This recommendation is based on the following:

The Parks and Recreation Departments Natural Resource Management Plan identified actions for establishing an inventory and open space review policy.

Future open space acquisitions should target areas identified by the nature’s network three tiers of highly important habitats, important habitats and land connectors.

Determine the significance of the natural resources as identified by local, state and federal classifications and incorporate these assessments into park planning documents. Identify and protect species and ecosystems that are rare or significant on a local, regional or national scale.

There is no significant natural resource, habitat or species that would be protected or preserved within this proposed open space. The parcel is not within the proposed Greenways identified in the Plan of Conservation Development and does not further land connection to adjoining open space parcels.

In the 2009 Parks, Recreation, Open Space Master Plan the Level of Service for Outdoor Facilities in the area around Starr Street was identified between adequate to excellent.

Respectfully,

Mark Berry Director of Parks and Recreation

V. PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS

V.1. Public Communications

Chairman Pritchard asked that comments be limited to three or four minutes. No decisions will be made at this meeting. The commission will discuss how to address communications received from the public.

The following members of the public addressed the commission with regard to the proposed Mystic Education Center development.

 Penelope Miller, 56 Hancock Drive, said the new floating zone should only apply to the Mystic Education Center parcel. Other parcels adjoining or abutting should remain RU-20 to be consistent with others in the area and not included in the floating zone.  Rosanne Kotowski, Ann Avenue, spoke against writing regulations for a specific developer, and the density of the project.  Eugenia Villagra, speaking on behalf of Groton Conservation Advocates, had concerns with the density, the impacts on the downtown area, the water, and sewer

systems. She felt the proposed project is incompatible with existing land use in the area and suggested that the Town of Groton hire experts to get an impartial opinion.  Robert Welt said the increased taxes and business is welcome but at what cost to residents.  Scott Westervelt, 7 Boulder Court, had concerns with the distance of the development from the neighboring properties, increased traffic, and concerns with traffic bypassing the traffic light on Cow Hill Road. He would like Oral School Road to be dead ended.  Mike Whitney, Representative for RTM District 5, spoke against the building heights, setbacks, and the size of the project which does not fit with the area. He is concerned with impacts on the wetland areas as well as the existing residents, and the increasing number of units proposed.  John Waller, 116 Godfrey Road, spoke in favor of the project in order to save the Pratt Building’s theater for arts for Groton. He understands the neighbor’s concerns but supports the project as an economic driver for the town. He also spoke about the traffic flow to prevent Oral School Road from being used as an outlet.  Charles Peterson, an Electric Boat employee, spoke in favor of the development because so many workers at EB are having a hard time finding apartments and felt there are positive aspects of adding an urban development that is close to EB. Many people are spending almost all day working from home and the communal areas and amenities would be welcome. He and many other employees would be willing to pay a premium for the amenities. He said it is hard to find apartments convenient to EB, and they will be hiring more people so this would help revitalize the town.  Chris Annino, co-founder of the New England Music Hall of Fame, expressed interest that the performance hall would bring local talent to Groton.  Scott Westervelt, 7 Boulder Court, spoke about the effects of blasting on the properties in the neighborhood.  Rosanne Kotowski, Ann Avenue, said the additional costs to town should be calculated and then deducted from revenue generated by the property to determine if the project is worthwhile. She also said that EB employment numbers are not consistent so that should not be a determining factor.

IX. OLD BUSINESS

Town of Groton, Connecticut Page 2 Printed on 02/17/2021

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Thursday, January 21, 2021

IX.1. Discussion of Public Inquiries regarding Mystic Education Center

The commission discussed how they will approach the floating zone for the Mystic Education Center, and how public concerns can be collected, considered during the process, and how they will respond to those concerns.

Several commissioners would like staff to review the history of project from the inception to its current status right now. A table was created by Pritchard and included in the agenda packet, which listed several items for consideration but not necessarily under the purview of the PZC.

Items discussed:

 Impacts to community and town  How to address public comments  Develop a list of items that the commission can address  Horsley Witten is providing information for a zoning text amendment that will require a master plan to guide development on the property.

Staff said density, utilities, etc. can be included in the regulations. Many of the public questions can be addressed by the regulations or at the master plan stage.

Attorney Cody explained the processes of floating zones and planned development districts. The ordinary floating zone procedure is a two-step process where the regulations are adopted in advance but the zone hasn’t yet been landed. The zone is then landed through a map change and the regulations then become applicable to that zone. The second is the planned development district procedure, which combines the two steps into one. The regulations allow an application for the development district to be filed accompanied by a master plan, which acts as a particular set of regulations, and is landed at the same time as a map change. The master plan approach provides specificity to the community and commission as to what is coming.

With the floating district, the use table is the only tool used, with no preliminary idea of what is coming. The master plan determines an approximation of what is going to happen on the site and where. Procedurally, a regulation change and map change are done at the same time. If the developer backs out after the master plan is approved, the commission can rewrite the master plan. The commission would know what is financially feasible for the developer before it gets approved.

Cody said most of the technical details, such as traffic, height, buffer, height, distance, etc., as well as the concerns that the public has, would be addressed at the master plan stage.

The commission would like the list of action items and citizen concerns collected to be placed on the town website.

IX.2. Workshop - Mystic Education Center Zoning Text Amendment Pre-Application

Staff suggested the commission first identify items that can be addressed through the regulations, such as density, adding parcels to the zone, etc. The master plan will then set the parameters.

Town of Groton, Connecticut Page 3 Printed on 02/17/2021

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Thursday, January 21, 2021

Jeff Davis, Horsley Witten, agreed the commission should look at list of concerns, such as boundaries, setbacks, height, etc. and determine which items can be addressed with the master plan. They should also determine if they are comfortable with the options presented in the draft regulations.

The commission discussed the layout of the table provided, the Pratt Building, and the pool.

Staff explained that the developer’s proposal included the renovating the Pratt building and pool. There was strong community demand for a heated pool, so the developer included that in the proposal which includes allowing the town to operate that building. The town has hired a consulting firm to determine community needs and wants, needs for the exterior of the building, and to estimate project costs. That information will be forthcoming.
