January 2014 Report
January has been another cold month with those having been issued permits finishing up because of the coldest weather in many years. Several more sit down discussions of pending permits have been conducted with residence and architects on up and coming projects.

1. 
   Elms Hotel
   

In according to the agreement between CBA and Elms Hotel, the winter limitation on room availability was submitted to the ZEO prior to the November implementation.

2. 
   44 Central Avenue
   

No further information at this time as to Superior Court Appeal.

2. 
   Atlantic Avenue Drainage Pipe.- No Change
   

No action seen at this time. No further action at this time.

It is unfortunate for some residence that their proposed or request for zoning permits have been lapse over the one year mark, and now that FEMA and coastal flood plans have been realigned they cannot begin their projects and must be recalculated and revamped to adhere to the new standards. The Town of East Lyme cannot issue any building permits unless these areas have been approved. I as ZEO for Crescent Beach Association have been working with the town to ensure these situations can be dealt with accordingly.

Coastal Flood Plans have changed and State of Connecticut DEEP has been more restrictive to what can and cannot be done in these areas. Make sure your planning agents, architects, design staff work closely with you on new items to prevent unneeded expenses.

****AS PER THE REGULATIONS, NO PERMITS HAVE BEEN ISSUED IF ANY OUTSTANDING CBA TAXES OWED. THE LIST USED IS THAT SUPPLIED BY THE CBA TAX COLLECTOR.*******

Elms Hotel Proposal. At the present time, proposed plans for the Elms Hotel property have been received and reviewed. I have had significant discussions with the Town of East Lyme Building and Zoning Office and Planning Officials. Comments were made to the developer and it is in the process for a CBA zoning permit. The proposed, but not yet received application, is for a 3 lot subdivision. As it stands now, the ZEO will deny the application due to non-conforming use, lots being smaller than the 7500 sq ft regulation. The proposed developer is aware of this and will seek CBA Board of Appeals variances as needed. He is under the clock due to short sales, etc.
I have made several contacts at town hall thru assessor office and building office as to any reported construction or other new projects. Several residents have contacted me as to various matters that may have been overlooked by this office. It appears that we have been on top of work related issues in Crescent Beach area, however if something does get by; please contact the CBA ZEO or town building officials of any unauthorized works.
Email request as well as phone contacts and meetings have been very cordial for the most part. I have had very few complaints, if any. It has been a pleasure to serve the association and hope to continue in the future.
