A decision was again delayed on a King Street subdivison proposal that has a town agency wanting more answers.
At a meeting Monday, the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency decided to wait to approve a proposal made by Shemin Nurseries Inc.'s to divide its 44-acre parcel in northwestern Greenwich.
Shemin Nurseries, which has operated at 1081 King St. for more than 40 years, has proposed creating four residential lots on its property and maintaining nursery operations on a fifth lot. The residential lots would be off a cul-de-sac at the end of a driveway that would be made off Sherwood Avenue.....

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal won't let his previous support of another candidate stand in the way of him getting behind his party's presumptive nominee.
"As a delegate who initially backed Hillary Clinton and someone who has known her since law school days, I can tell you I am enthusiastic and energetic as possibly could be in my support for Barack Obama," Blumenthal said in a telephone interview Monday from New York's LaGuardia Airport on his way to Denver for the Democratic National Convention.
Blumenthal, like a number of other convention delegates from the Nutmeg State, downplayed the effects of the hard-fought primary and caucus race between Obama and Clinton for the party's nomination. Some likened the convention to a reunion of a large family with different branches. All declared that they have one common goal.
"I'm excited about electing (Obama) in this historic watershed election," said Blumenthal, a Greenwich resident. "This election is so absolutely critical to our future, and there are so many profound differences between Clinton and Obama on the one hand and (John) McCain on the other when it comes to critical issues like the economy, health care, education and the future of the U.S. Supreme Court that I believe any reservations about Barack Obama at this point would be very self-centered and even selfish on my part."

The town tree warden has taken a major step to ensure community trees are preserved and protected into the future.
Bruce Spaman, the town superintendent of parks and trees has drafted a tree ordinance that would guarantee the maintenance, inventory and conservation of the town's more than 100,000 trees.
The ordinance was passed by the Board of Selectmen last month and will be reviewed by the Representative Town Meeting on Sept. 15.
"I think it's a necessary ordinance," said First Selectman Peter Tesei. ================================================================

By Stephen P. Clark, Wynne Parry and Alexandra Fenwick Staff Writers As motorists endure record gas prices, lower Fairfield County municipalities are locking in rates to save money on fueling public vehicles. While area gasoline prices have topped $4.50 per gallon, Stamford, Norwalk and Greenwich and other municipalities are paying as little as $2.57 per gallon for gas and $2.62 per gallon for diesel fuel. These municipalities are part of a joint bidding program that lowers prices, reduces administrative costs, and improves quality control.... ...That's what Greenwich did this month for diesel fuel. It will pay $4.06 starting July 1. Greenwich still uses gas purchased through SWRPA. In January, the town renewed its gasoline contract and has been paying $2.69 per gallon since February, which is locked in until the year's end. Greenwich Director of Purchasing and Administrative Services Joan Sullivan said she waited to lock in a diesel price because it typically drops later in the year. "We kept hoping that the market was going to improve for diesel, and it didn't," she said....STAMFORD - Local and state officials were taking a wait-and-see approach yesterday to rumors of a potential takeover of banking giant UBS AG - a cornerstone of the city's financial industry - by British rival HSBC Holdings....

Issues involving ferry access being blurred To the editor: Greenwich Time, June 15: " 'I don't think the lifting of the restriction had anything to do with the Kempner case or concerns about the town's standing legally on the beach policy - or any restriction which was in conflict with the Supreme Court case,' [Town Attorney John Wayne] Fox said. Greenwich Time, June 17: "Reverting to a policy that restricts nonresidents from riding town ferries unless they are accompanied by a resident would be impossible to justify if challenged in court, First Selectman Peter Tesei said yesterday." Any questions? I'm so glad that our then-first selectman and town attorney got together in secret last year to decide what is the best policy for Island Beach. I'm equally happy that the new first selectman chose to implement the policy. Now seriously, what does Peter Tesei mean by "reverting?" Is he saying that if we had never changed the policy (at that point only two days old), it would be OK, but reverting is a problem? Would "maintaining" the policy be a problem? (No, according to the town attorney.) Lots of questions about this policy change. Nitpicking like this would not be necessary if this policy were debated publicly, but all our officials have provided are snippets. The way this was handled is disgraceful. John Bowman Byram | |
