Applicant Randy England presented revised plans for accessory dwelling unit Application 25608 at 395 Shelton Avenue, explaining he had edited plans to eliminate a pass‑through and provide a direct connection from the entry to the first‑floor bedroom area. Staff and the professional engineer reported satisfaction with the revisions during the Dec. 10 meeting.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about circulation, septic/well service and whether the unit complied with the Naugatuck Valley Health District requirements. The applicant said the property is on well water and on septic; staff noted the application had been reviewed previously and that necessary certifications would be required as part of final approvals.

A motion to approve the ADU, contingent on final approvals and any required health‑district certification, was seconded and passed. The commission recorded the approval as contingent on the applicant supplying the final, required outside sign‑offs and any outstanding documentation.

What happens next: Staff will confirm outstanding permits/certifications (including health‑district confirmation for septic adequacy) and then issue the permanent certificate of zoning compliance once all conditions are met.
