Vincent F. Sabatini an attorney with Sabatini and Associates, LLC represented the potential buyer of a 3.5 acre parcel of land located in Newington, CT. The client wanted to develop the land. However the town’s wetlands map showed that most of the parcel was wetlands. A soils expert was retained to conduct a survey of the land to determine if the town’s wetland map was accurrate.  The soil expert determined that the map was not correct. Based on the report, an application was submitted to the town’s Conservation Commission. This commission has jurisdiction over wetlands. The application requested the commision to amend the wetland line to conform to the soils report. After public hearing the application was approved. The wetlands line was moved allowing the land to be developed.   

The law firm of Sabatini and Associates represented the Bochasanwasi Shree Akshar Purushottan Awaminarayan Sanstha-northeast   Temple in Newington. The temple needed to establish a residence for their religious leader. They wanted the residence to be part of the temple building. However, upon application for a building permit, they found that the town did not have a zoning regulation permitting the same.    It was then necessary to draft a new zoning regulation and apply for an amendment. The amended regulation was set for a public hearing. After the hearing the commission voted to approve the amendment. Of note is the fact that the town had approximately six residences associated with churches. This amendment now makes all of the housing legal.
