Gold Dog application withdrawn at P&Z

SHARON — Rather than continuing the public hearing as expected in connection with an application submitted by Gold Dog LLC, the Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) officially closed the public hearing at the start of their regular meeting on Wednesday, March 8 after the applicant withdrew the application.

Land Use Administrator Jamie Casey read a brief letter received from Gold Dog LLC indicating withdrawal of their application from further consideration. The public hearing process had opened at the January P&Z meeting, but due to elevator repairs at the Town hall, had been immediately continued to the Feb. 8 P&Z meeting, held at the Sharon Historical Society to accommodate public comment. That hearing was continued to the March 8 meeting, anticipating additional reports and more public comment.

The plans submitted by Gold Dog LLC sought to create a Village Residential Housing development on a 20-acre parcel located at 82 Amenia Road and 67 Hospital Hill Road.

Following the meeting, Casey said that the letter was an official statement withdrawing the application without prejudice. A future application can be submitted.
