Description
Description | The Whispering Winds project was a proposed 12-unit affordable housing condominium development at 846 Middlesex Turnpike in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. The project included townhouse-style, two-bedroom condos in two new buildings, retaining existing structures on site. The development was presented under the state's 8-30g law, which allows developers to bypass local zoning regulations except for public health and safety reasons, provided a certain number of units are affordable. The project was denied by the Old Saybrook Zoning Commission due to concerns about the adequacy of the water supply from wells and fire safety measures, including the sufficiency of a 30,000-gallon fire control water tank and the impact on emergency vehicle access. |
