Neighbors of a planned 102-unit affordable housing complex at Weed and Elm Streets—including a man arrested in 2023 after getting physical with the project’s developers—last week lost their lawsuit seeking to halt that developers’ use of shared sewer and sanitary easements, court records show. The “preparatory activities for the work contemplated in the easement area”—which includes replacing 310 feet of 6-inch PVC drainage pipe with 8-inch PVC pipe—is “permitted” under both easements, state Superior Court Judge Edward Krumeich wrote in a Feb. 11 decision. “The unearthing and inspection of the sewer pipes and repair and replacement of any damaged or defective sewer pipes is permissible under the Sewer Easement,” Krumeich wrote in the 12-page decision. He continued: “Plaintiffs argued that the Sewer Easement was for a single-family home like the existing house and the homes in the Subdivision and did not envision the planned multi-unit use of Defendant’s Property.
A New Canaan dog underwent 10-day home quarantine this month after biting an employee at a cosmetics boutique in the face, records show. At about 10:15 a.m. on Feb. 4 (a Wednesday), Officer Sean Godejohn, head of the New Canaan Police Department’s Animal Control section, received a call from dispatch regarding a dog bite, according to a case report obtained by NewCanaanite.com through a public records request.
He contacted the victim, a 34-year-old Hamden woman, who told him that she was at work, at Benefit Cosmetics Boutique on Elm Street, when at about 10 a.m. “a client walked in with her dog.”
The worker “reached down to give the dog a treat when she was bit on the lip,” the incident report said. She was on her way to receive medical treatment for the injury at the time of Godejohn’s call, he said in the report. Within one hour, Godejohn visited the dog’s owner, a Seminary Street resident, who “admitted to this officer that her dog bit [the woman],” the report said.
