Moving quickly to generate feedback, the Board of Education officially put the Community Advisory Group into place Thursday night with the aim of getting consensus on how the town should respond to the crisis at Coleytown Middle School (CMS).

Though several slots are still open, the group is scheduled to hold its first public work session Sunday at 5 p.m. in Town Hall, at which time a series of possible options will be presented by Superintendent of Schools Colleen Palmer regarding the future of CMS and its students.

Among the members in place are teachers John Horrigan of CMS, who is also co-president of the Westport Education Association, and Jeanne Bowles of Saugatuck Elementary School (SES). Both are also Westport residents.

The three PTA members included Elena Caggiano, representing Staples High School’s PTA, Lee Goldstein, CMS co-president, representing the middle schools, and Amie Peck, PTA co-president at SES.

P&Z Closes Contentious Affordable Housing Hearing

By James Lomuscio

After one of its more contentious meetings, Westport’s Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) tonight closed its hearing on a planned 19-unit, 50-foot high affordable housing complex at 122 Wilton Road.

How contentious?

Mark Branse, the attorney for the developer Garden Homes Management Corp., raised commissioners’ ire when he said the P&Z “snookered” Hartford Superior Court Judge Marshall Berger into dismissing Garden Homes’ 8-30g suit against the town.

Garden Homes brought that suit after the P&Z on Feb. 4, 2016 denied its application for a 48-unit planned complex on the same 1.1-acre site on the west bank of the Saugatuck River. Saying the town acted properly, Berger dismissed the suit on May 27, 2017.
