The Torrington Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 15 approved two conditional extensions requested by 53 McDermott LLC to address delays in filing final subdivision mylars and in completing site improvements.

Jeremy Lightford read a letter from 53 McDermott LLC explaining that the project’s original engineer left the firm and the surveyor was acquired by another company, creating delays in finalizing mylar preparation. The applicant requested a 90‑day extension to file the approved maps and an additional one‑year extension of the improvement bond tied to site improvements.

Lightford cited Connecticut General Statutes §8‑25a, which requires plans to be recorded within 90 days of approval, and noted the statute allows up to two 90‑day extensions. Because of a misinterpretation by the city planner, the filing period had lapsed; the applicant requested an immediate extension to correct the lapse and the city planner recommended approval.

The commission approved a 90‑day extension for filing the resubdivision mylars for the two‑lot resubdivision at 53 McDermott Avenue (assessor map 119, block 6, lot 12), setting the new filing deadline to Jan. 15, 2026. The commission also approved a one‑year extension of the improvement bond for site improvements from the existing expiration in November 2025 to November 2026. All original approval conditions and bond terms remain in effect.

The motion passed by voice vote; commissioners recorded "Aye" and the approval was entered on the record.
