SALISBURY — At its April 28 meeting, the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission approved a modification to a permit it issued last year for an application to redevelop the Wake Robin Inn.
It was the first public presentation of applicant ARADEV LLC’s amended proposal since withdrawing its initial application to the Planning and Zoning Commission in December 2024.
“Generally, it’s a pullback in the intensity of development,” said Mark Arigoni, a Landscape Architect with SLR Consulting who has represented the applicant, ARADEV LLC, since its first submission. Arigoni said the new plans were meant to respond to calls from the public and P&Z to scale down and lighten the impacts of the project after an extended public hearing late last year.
The major changes include reducing the number of newly-built cottages from twelve to four. The event barn, which was a highly contentious aspect of the initial proposal, moved from its previous position as a standalone structure to instead being a part of the expansion of the existing Inn building. The spa building was adjusted so it sits closer to the main structure and further from the wetland.
After presenting the updated plan, the Commission levied several questions towards the applicant regarding the new project. Commissioner John Landon noted that the new cottages look larger than those initially proposed. Stephen Cohen, of ARADEV, confirmed that they are approximately 2,000 square feet, compared to the previous buildings which topped out at around 1,100 square feet.
After several other questions regarding storm water management, a state-listed species relocation, and alterations to the cottage parking and access schemas, the IWWC concluded its examination. Chair Vivian Garfein clarified that the IWWC was reviewing an alteration, not a new application.
“We are not reissuing a permit,” she said, “We are asked to approve a minor modification that we have already approved.”
The Commission voted unanimously to approve the modification. ARADEV was to reappear in the town Zoom room on Monday, May 5 to present its modified application to P&Z.

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.
