OLD LYME— UPDATED 6:10 p.m. with details of letter sent requesting postponement of meeting.
The Old Lyme (OL) Zoning Commission meeting scheduled for Thursday has been postponed at the applicant’s request.
Today, Old Lyme First Selectwoman Martha Shoemaker sent a letter to Paul Orzel, Chairman of the OL Zoning Commission, saying, “The Halls Road Improvement Committee and I acknowledge that the Zoning Commission has received many additional exhibits and request additional time to review them. We would like to request to postpone the meeting of February 27, 2025, until late March 2025. This will provide the committee with additional time to review the exhibits.”
The letter was copied to Eric Knapp, Old Lyme Land Use Coordinator; Edie Twining, Chair of the Halls Road Improvement Committee, and William R. Sweeney, Attorney for the Halls Road project.
Editor’s Note: We will update this post with more details as we receive them.
When addressing this project – please try to remember we all have a voice, but no one has a right to veto
This postponement is very disturbing.
Since when does the Halls Road Committee have the opportunity to review the public comment exhibits before they are presented to the public at the scheduled public hearing, very unorthodox and undemocratic.
So much for good government in Old Lyme.
I’ve said it before elections have consequences and what we have here are the results of the last municipal elections.
