Plans for Vernon's Talcott Mill, Rockville Friendly's Up For Discussion
A new idea for the old mill and former restaurant facility, along with a proposed canine outdoor play area, will be considered during Thursday's Vernon planning commission meeting.
Thursday night could be a busy one for members of the town's Planning and Zoning Commission.
Plans to revitalize the old Rockville Friendly's and the Talcott Mill property, along with create an outdoor play area associated with a local pet grooming business are all up for consideration.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Town Hall.
Commisson members are expected to hear from the public on an application submitted by Giovanna Izzo, owner of Antonio's Italian Pizzeria in Rockville, for a special permit to convert the old Friendly's restaurant Union Street into a church.
That hearing will be followed by one scheduled for an application submitted by Fancy Feet Pet Grooming at 593-601 Talcottville Rd. to modify a special permit so its owners can build an outdoor animal play area for its doggie day care service.
The commission will also review plans submitted by Alfred Pedemonti to convert the old Talcott Mill building at 47 Main St. into 84 residential units.
