South Windsor Seeks Feedback on Draft Plan of Conservation and Development

The following is a press release from the town:

The South Windsor Planning and Zoning Commission invites the public to provide feedback on the Draft 2013 Plan of Conservation and Development at an upcoming meeting. The Draft Plan outlines goals and strategies for a variety of topics including open space, farmland protection, the Town Center, Route 5, and transportation.

The public meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at South Windsor Town Hall.

At the meeting, attendees will hear a brief overview of the draft Plan and then most of the meeting will focus on public feedback.   

Residents should review the draft Plan prior to the meeting.  Copies of the draft Plan are available for review at the Planning Department (Town Hall), at the South Windsor Public Library, and on the Town’s website (www.southwindsor.org/pocddraft).

In April, the Commission will determine edits to the Plan based upon the input collected at the March 19 meeting.  The updated Plan will then be forwarded to the Town Council for its consideration. The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing for Plan adoption (tentatively scheduled for early July).  

The Commission is also preparing a separate Implementation Guide which will outline how the Plan’s goals and strategies could be carried out over the next 10 years.

The Plan is being updated with the assistance of Planimetrics, an Avon-based land use planning and consulting firm that assists towns with preparation of Plans of Conservation and Development.
