OLD BUSINESS
IWWC#22-11SUB for a 24 Lot, Open Space Subdivision (Eagles Landing Subdivision) at 79
Vinegar Hill Road, Gales Ferry CT, 06335 (M94B2540L79) for Applicant Harry B. Heller and
Owner Mr. G. 1., LLC...end
Attorney Heller presented for the Applicant. He apologized for not being at the last meeting. His
associate Andrew McCoy and Surveyor Peter Gardner were also present.
Mr. Heller stated that the subdivision had been approved in 2018 - including IWWC approval.
Despite the approval, Eversource denied the applicant the right to put the proposed stormwater
basin and two driveways within their ROW. A lawsuit resulted and an agreement was reached
with Eversource. The new location of the stormwater/water quality basin was moved to an area
easterly of the wetland system.
Mr. Heller described the differences in the new plan and the original design and addressed WEO
comments.
Commission members asked questions pertaining the distance of the drainage basin to the area
of wetlands. Atty. Heller stated it was 150ft from the wetlands and not likely erode the soil.
