Zoning Petition Opposing New Text and Modification to the Zoning Regulations Proposed by Berwick ...
This a petition opposing the new text and modifications to sections 10.16.13 through 31.2.42 as requested by Berwick Fairchild and Associates, LLC, for the housing project at the end of Fairchild/Berwick Avenues, in Fairfield, CT.
Why is this important?
We, the owners and renters of properties on Fairchild and Berwick Avenues (Fairfield, CT), the same roads of the property that is the subject of this zoning case (the proposed 33-unit building by Berwick Fairchild and Associates, LLC), oppose the requested zoning changes, most importantly the following:
-The addition of Sec. 10.16.13, which will increase the population in excess to the current density, it also being quadruple the bedroom density of the 54-unit affordable housing project called Fairchild Apartments, across from the proposed Berwick Fairchild Site.
-The addition of 10.9.3, which in its vagaries, could allow for any building in a Residence B neighborhood to be converted into a multi-unit facility, even if the building was designed as a single-family residence.
-The modification of 10.11, which will increase the building height to four stories, far in excess of any housing in the neighborhood.
-The modification of 10.17.3, which eliminates the minimum number of affordable or market units, thereby violating the spirit of the affordable housing program within the town.
-The modification of 28.6.1, which would allow the project to have one car spare per unit, far less than common sense indicates that the development needs.
