Grace Farms Files Application To Amend Its Operating Permit

Grace Farms filed an application to amend for the second time its town-issued operating permit. Prepared by attorney Edward O’Hanlan of Stamford-based Robinson+Cole, the application stops short of validating concerns from neighbors and town officials about the intensity of use at Grace Farms. In fact, O’Hanlan in the application argues that the Planning & Zoning Commission may have erred in drafting the permit under which Grace now operates, but cannot now go back and cite what Grace officials had said at the public hearings that led to the approval of that permit—since those utterances do not determine what’s allowed as much as the physical document itself.

The full application can be found in the dropdown menu here.

Here’s the main document outlining Grace Farms’ position—a letter written in response to the Town Planner’s letter from earlier in the summer is embedded below it, also from Sept. 26, 2016:
