SOUTHINGTON, CT — Local land-use officials have approved a project to build a new 55-and-up housing facility in Southington.
In three separate 6-0 votes on Dec. 3, the Southington Planning and Zoning Commission said “yes” to measures allowing Holyst Real Estate LLC to build 23 units of age-restricted housing on Lazy Lane.
One vote was to approve a zone change that allows for a lot on 65 Triano Drive to serve as an access strip to the property, which is actually at 322 Lazy Lane.

The other two votes were for special permits and site plan reviews for building the new housing units, something seen as being necessary in Southington’s plan of conservation and development.
According to presentations at the Dec. 3 meeting by applicant representatives, the development is on 13 acres off Lazy Lane, with the “access strip” on 0.93 acres off Triano Drive.

“The development will have single driveway entry that loops around, minimal lighting, signage, and recreational space,” said engineer Steve Giudice of Plantsville-based Cole Civil + Survey.
“There will be additional street trees and landscaping at the units and throughout the development.”

Commission members were, generally, supportive of the project, with questions being more technical as they pertained to sewer, water, utility, and drainage issues.
