IWA Hearing On Hazelnut Hill Project Set For Jan. 11

GROTON–The Inland Wetlands Agency has scheduled a hearing for Jan. 11, 2006, on the proposed Groton Highpoint subdivision that would be built on a former sheep farm at 245 Hazelnut Hill Road.

The proposed 34-house project would be located on 63 acres and would be served by town sewer and water. The project is envisioned to include 33 acres of open space plus 9 acres of conservation easements on rear slopes of some lots.

The open space would be located on both sides of Fort Hill Brook, which runs through the property down to Long Island Sound, at one point coursing over an approximately 15-foot rock waterfall.

Originally, developer Otto Paparazzo had proposed an age-restricted condo project for the property, but a regulation change now requires such projects to be located off main roads. Hazelnut Hill Road does not qualify. Therefore, Mr. Paparazzo came up with a new plan.
