Danbury Daycare Gets Zoning Waivers

A Danbury day care receives multiple zoning waivers to expand its capacity from 37 to 71 children, despite concerns about its septic system’s ability to handle the increased load. The city appeals commission granted variances, including exemptions from sewer connections and parking regulations to Cedar Gables after assurances that the existing system had been inspected and deemed sufficient. The decision follows a contentious hour-long discussion, with some members expressing reservations about the aged infrastructure. However, the commission ultimately approved the expansion, contingent on biannual inspections and a commitment to replace the system if it fails.
