The Planning and Zoning Commission in Farmington on Monday approved a 25-unit subdivision at 8517 and 8518 Morea Road, near the Bristol line
The cluster subdivision, proposed by Carrier Group Inc., had been hotly contested by neighbors who feared it would disturb woodlands, cause traffic problems and change the character of the neighborhood.
The property is owned by the Estate of Marian D. Cardone, Mary T. Petrucci, Nancy Fetera and Teresa Lattizori.Â
Under the proposal, more than 76% of the 87.7-acre site would remain undeveloped open space. The 25 lots sit on 20.9 acres.
Planning and Zoning Commission member Patrick Carrier, along with his brother, Town Councilman Johnny Carrier, are principals of Carrier Group. Patrick Carrier recused himself from the proceedings.
