Ledyard, CT - Property Owner, Dominick Ceravolo - Applicant, Ryan Forrestt, Ryan’s  
Reliable Services, LLC for site plan approval for commercial businesses. (Submitted to  
Land Use Dept. 7/09/25, Date of Receipt 7/10/25, DRD 9/12/25).  
Director Burdick stated that the applicant, Mr. Forrestt, has finally addressed ongoing zoning  
violations on site. She stated that the Land Use Department had received a request to table  
the application to the PZC Regular Meeting of October 9, 2025 to allow staff time to review  
new and revised plans submitted to the Land Use Dept. the day prior to the meeting.  
Commissioner Woody asked if the business is a commercial services business. Director  
Burdick and Commissioner Woody clarified what the nature of the business is and what it  
would be qualified under the use table. Director Burdick stated that staff considered it to be  
under professional services, but that if the Commission feels it is considered commercial  
services, they will address it. She stated that staff would need additional time to redo the  
application.  
Commissioner Woody and Director Burdick agreed that there is a lot of missing information  
on the site plan check list that was submitted. Commissioner Harwood stated that the  
narrative talks about storage but was concerned that storage was not shown in appropriate  
measures on the site plan. The Commission and Ms. Burdick discussed storage in  
relationship to the application. Commissioner Harwood and staff discussed the breakdown  
between 750 Colonel Ledyard Highway and 748 Colonel Ledyard Highway and why there  
are two addresses assigned to the same property. Director Burdick stated there is an  
“imaginary line” that divides the residential use from the commercial use.

C.G.S. 8-24 Referral - 19 Avery Hill Rd Ext. (Parcel ID: 50/130/19), Ledyard, CT -  
Transfer of Town-Owned Open Space property (Kettle Hole) to Avalonia Land Conservancy  
to be combined with property at 173 & 175 Stoddards Wharf Road owned by DDJJM, LLC  
also to be transferred to Avalonia Land Conservancy.  
Attorney Avena stated that he would recuse himself from this discussion as he represents  
Avalonia and he left the room.  
Director Burdick reviewed the current 8-24 Referral process as well as the process in previous  
years. She reviewed the proposed land donation with the Commission. Dennis Main, Bozrah CT,  
President of Avalonia Land Conservancy, gave a summary of all previous processes of creating  
open space. He explained the conservancy goals of Avalonia and how this specific project  
connects many existing trails and bike paths. They spoke about how obtaining the Pratt property  
would connect the properties all the way down to “Glacier Park”.  
Director Burdick asked if Avalonia, as stewards of the property, would maintain the trails and  
markings. She and Mr. Main discussed the maintenance of the trails. Director Burdick stated  
that she recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission send a favorable report to the  
Town Council for the transfer the property to Avalonia. Commissioner Woody stated that he  
thinks it makes a lot of sense to convey the parcels of land to Avalonia to maintain consistency  
between the trails.  
Motion to forward a FAVORABLE REPORT in accordance with C.G.S. Section 8.24 to the  
Ledyard Town Council regarding Transfer of Town-Owned Property at 19 Avery Hill Road  
Ext. known as the “Kettle Hole” property to Avalonia Land Conservancy to be combined

C.G.S. 8-24 Referral - 13 Applewood Drive (Parcel ID: 99-530-13), Ledyard, CT -  
Transfer of Town-Owned Open Space property to Avalonia Land Conservancy to be  
combined with the Avalonia Pike Marshall Preserve.  
Director Burdick summarized the proposed land conveyance. She mentioned that on the plan  
there is a non-disturbance line shown of the subdivision plan that would have to be  
maintained by Avalonia. She reviewed the parcels in the proposal and demonstrated how the  
conveyance would allow trail connection all the way to Applewood Drive. Dennis Main,  
President of Avalonia Land Conservancy described and spoke about the topography of the  
parcels. Commissioner Harwood commented that the Conservation Committee and Avalonia  
were discussing creating a cross-country trail for Ledyard High School.  
Commissioner Woody asked if there was an access strip to Applewood Drive. Commissioner  
Woody stated that if the parcel is going to be open space it needs to be marked to prevent  
future disputes with neighbors. He made comments about the value of having an access strip.  
Director Burdick stated that the Commission could give a favorable report with the  
recommendation that the access strip be clearly marked by a Land Surveyor and appropriate  
signage be posted identifying the open space parcel.  
Director Burdick asked where people would park if they were to use the access strip from  
Applewood Drive to the Pike Marshall Preserve. They discussed parking for the trail along  
the existing cul-de-sac at the end of the roadway. Director Burdick stated that it would be a  
benefit to surrounding residents that the open space parcel would become useable through  
trail access rather than just being wooded.  
Motion to forward a FAVORABLE REPORT in accordance with C.G.S. Section 8.24 to the  
Ledyard Town Council regarding the transfer of Town-Owned Property to Avalonia Land  
Conservancy to be combined with its existing Pike Marshall Preserve, Ledyard, CT with the  
condition that the trail is clearly marked by a Land Surveyor and appropriate signage be  
posted identifying the open space.
