Greenwich P&Z approves Shoal Point Lane home in 5-0 vote
Planning and Zoning · Meeting of August 4, 2026
Greenwich P&Z clears waterfront home after monthslong setback fight, 5-0. Commissioners sided with Zoning Enforcement Officer James Lunny's reading of a disputed "rear yard" definition on an irregular 18,970-square-foot lot at 22 Shoal Point Lane, over objections from attorneys David Rosenberg and Joel Green, who represented neighboring owners. The applicant, represented by attorney Chip Haslin, had already dropped a two-car garage for a single-car design and moved a retaining wall out of the flood zone after Connecticut DEEP found the changes brought the project into compliance with the Coastal Area Management Act.
Engineer Steve Trinkhouse testified "water simply seeks its own level," disputing the applicant's FEMA flood-line methodology. Separately, the commission voted 5-0 to approve a third, income-restricted unit at 241 Hamilton Avenue under state statute 8-30g, capping rent at 60 percent of area or state median income for 40 years.
