Two Important Public Hearings on Saddle Ridge- Conservation Commission and P&Z Postponed Until End of August
The Conservation Commission Public Hearing to discuss the Saddle Ridge revised map 24-lot subdivision located at Sport Hill, Silver Hill, Cedar Hill and Westport Roads and the P&Z public hearing will be postponed at least until the end of August 2026.
This is the first application to be filed under the new Conservation Cluster Housing Regulation (Section 5900 of Easton’s Zoning Regulations). The regulation allows lots smaller than the 3 acres previously required in Zone B.
The Saddle Ridge application proposes for all 24 lots to be smaller than 3 acres, all but two to be less than than 2 acres, with one lot as small as .96 acres!
This is a very sensitive piece of property which occupies the upper portion of two headwater drainage systems of public water supply reservoirs- the Aspetuck and the Easton Reservoirs
