Notice of Decision

Town of Salisbury

Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission

Regarding a request for modification of an approved site development plan associated with permit #2024-IW-028 by ARADEV, LLC for redevelopment and expansion of the Wake Robin Inn Property, Salisbury Assessor’s Map 47, Lots 2 & 2-1 known as 104 & 106 Sharon Road and 53 Wells Hill Road, properties owned by Wake Robin, LLC and Serena W Granberry respectively, approved by resolution 11/26/2024 subject to conditions. Notice is hereby given that the following action was taken by the Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission (Commission) of the Town of Salisbury, Connecticut on April 28, 2025:

The Commission found that a proposed modified site plan by SLR dated April 22, 2025 demonstrates a reduction in overall impact within wetland and upland review areas and that none of the revised locations of the proposed structures/buildings cause greater impact to wetlands or watercourses than previously approved. Therefore, in accordance with the adopted resolution dated 11/26/2024, the Commission recognizes that proposed activities occurring farther away from the wetlands and watercourses shall either have the same or no greater impact on wetlands or watercourses. The Commission thereby approved the revised site development plan as a modification. All applicable conditions of permit #2024-IW-028 shall remain in effect.

Any aggrieved person may appeal this decision to the Connecticut Superior Court in accordance with the provisions of Connecticut General Statutes §22a-43(a) & §8-8.
