You might want to attend the Planning & Zoning virtual Public Hearing on October 27, 2020, to discuss this project.
Smack in the middle of the Bethel main street, at 155 Greenwood Avenue, Stephen T. DeMarco (DeMarco Construction) has applied to the Bethel Planning & Zoning Commission for approval of renovation to an existing structure and to also add 18 residential units in 4 more buildings, an 8,600SF commercial mixed use project, with multiple floors. This includes commercial flexible space on the ground floors possibly used for restaurants etc. or offices.
The structures would be located next door to Wells Fargo Bank, with a “proposed pedestrian alley” between the two properties.
The buildings would span the length of the property from from Greenwood Avenue to School Street, across from the Bethel town hall.
According to a letter sent from applicant DeMarco via his attorney Peter Olson, to the Planning & Zoning Chairwoman Pat Rist, a Special Permit is required because the applicant, Demarco, requests a site parking reduction.
The applicant DeMarco is asking to use Town of Bethel public parking spaces instead of building a structure with the required spaces for residential and commercial, and also asking to allow cars to park overnight on main streets, and also use municipal land to park in wintertime too. Basically the land is too small to fit the required parking according to building plans.
The “Project Narrative” reads, “The key to this entire project is parking, as the application requests that the Commission approve the plan with zero parking spaces allocated for the commercial uses and 16 spaces allocated for residential spaces. This allows the parking needs of the project to be served by existing publicly available parking in the downtown. Accommodation from the Town of Bethel to allow overnight parking on municipal land in the wintertime is also required.”
