Jack Beckett·

The Farmington Conservation and Inland Wetlands Commission unanimously accepted Stephanie Roman's intervener petition Wednesday in the continuing public hearing on Noble Energy Real Estate Holdings' proposed travel center, warehouse, and diesel fueling facility on the upstream edge of the Batterson Park Pond watershed. The petition's expert, Carya Ecological Services principal Sigrun Gadwa, flagged a state-endangered wetland plant — Saururus cernuus, lizard's tail — on the applicant's own plant inventory. The hearing was continued to May 20, with both commissions attaching conditions to anything they eventually approve.

Henry Whitfield·

The Farmington Town Plan and Zoning Commission voted Monday night to accept Noble Energy Real Estate Holdings, LLC's application for a partial R40 to B1 rezoning at 8261 Fienemann Road and to schedule a public hearing for July 27. The 86-acre parcel — at the corner of Fienemann Road and the I-84 ramps, drained by a culverted channel into Hartford-owned Batterson Park Pond — is where Noble Energy has proposed a warehouse, a travel center, and fueling stations. The same project has been the subject of two contested wetlands hearings this spring, with an intervener petition formally accepted May 6.
