The New Canaan Inland Wetlands Commission on Monday acknowledged three newly filed applications and scheduled a site visit to inspect each property.

Staff listed applications received for pond maintenance dredging at 1 Oak Ridge (applicant Anna Knowles Rogers and Colin Smith) and 4452 Indian Rock Road (Robert A. Young), both proposing partial pond maintenance dredging using hydraulic equipment to remove accumulated sediment. A third application from Pelagic 1 LLC for 223 Michigan Road proposes additional erosion controls, removal of fill from wetlands and within 10 feet of the wetland line, installation of a subsurface stormwater detention facility and associated piping, replacement of existing pipes as needed, revegetation and irrigation per planting plan, and moving topsoil to outside the 50-foot upland review limit.

Commissioners discussed logistics and availability and settled on Wednesday, Oct. 29, with a suggested start time of 7:30 a.m. to allow travel time for members. Staff was asked to send calendar invitations and coordinate details.

The item was listed as “applications to be received and incomplete, to be scheduled for the 11/17/2025 regular meeting” pending full application completeness reviews. Commissioners noted site visits typically require an hour and a half to two hours to inspect multiple properties and understand impacts to wetland edges and downstream flows.

The commission did not take formal votes on the three applications at the meeting; scheduling and preliminary receipt were administrative steps to allow site inspections and future public hearings.
