The Week Ahead In New Milford

There will be a work session of the Mayor and Council Monday at 7 p.m. in the upstairs conference room at .

On the agenda is a resolution to authorize Phillips Preiss and Grygiel, LLC (appointed Zoning Board planner in the United Water property hearings) to proceed with a rezoning study of the United Water property. 

The United Water property is currently zoned Residential A--single family homes. The borough's previous planner, Dennis Kirwan LLC, prepared a rezoning study of the property that was presented to the Mayor and Council during its June 27, 2011 meeting.

This  recommended that the site be zoned commercial, but with a special ordinance that would put specific parameters on its future use.  

During that June meeting, the Mayor and Council had unanimously agreed to take up the matter at their September 12, 2011 work session and vote on whether or not to move forward with drafting an ordinance that would rezone the United Water property.

However, August brought Hurricane Irene, followed by Tropical Storm Lee and the October snow storm--serious weather events that diverted attention from rezoning to emergency management.
