Canaan Country Club seeks permit to host events

NORTH CANAAN — Canaan Country Club owner Joe Quattrochi attended The Planning and Zoning Commission’s Oct. 14 to inquire about a special permit for hosting events.

Quattrochi said the club’s liquor license does not allow for events on the premises. He hopes a special permit from P&Z can allow for DJs, karaoke nights and similar events.

Zoning Enforcement Officer George Martin advised Quattrochi to submit a special permit application for the commission to review. A public hearing will be required.

P&Z received a special permit application for 34 Paddy Lane seeking to change from a single-family to a two-family residence.

The plan called for a wall between two portions of the home, a new kitchen and two new egresses.

P&Z set a public hearing for this application to be held Monday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m.

Martin said he plans to have the application reviewed by the fire marshal.

The Commission received a letter from resident Robert Sprague requesting a review of the mining regulations. He asserted that the current regulations are inadequate and not properly enforced. He requested P&Z hold a workshop with concerned residents to discuss the matter.

Chairman Mike O’Connor said, “That will be taken into advisory and George and I will talk about that.”
