The Greenwich Planning & Zoning Commission convened on March 25, 2025, to address several agenda items, including public hearings and site plan discussions. The meeting began with procedural notes, highlighting the absence of members Mister Lowe and Mister Scribe. Mary Jenkins was appointed to fill in for Mister Lowe, while Anne Noel Jones took the seat for Mister MacRae.
The first item on the agenda, concerning the Burning Tree Country Club, was postponed to a future meeting. This item involved a final site plan and special permit for reconstructing the pool building, expanding the pool deck, and enhancing the paddle tennis and dining pavilion areas.
Following this, the Commission opened a public hearing for Oldtrack Properties LLC. The proposal under consideration was for a final site plan and special permit to convert a current utility company office into a private early education and care school. This project would also include related outdoor activity space on a 3.75-acre property located at 16 Oldtrack Road in the GB zone. John Tessie, representing Oldtrack Properties, was invited to provide a summary of the proposal.
The meeting proceeded with discussions surrounding the implications of the proposed changes and the community's response. The Commission will continue to evaluate the details of the project in future sessions.
In conclusion, the meeting addressed significant planning issues, with the postponement of the Burning Tree Country Club project and the ongoing deliberation regarding the Oldtrack Properties proposal. Further discussions and decisions are expected in upcoming meetings as the Commission continues its work on these developments.
