Middletown Restaurant Plan Falls One Vote Short
MIDDLETOWN, CT — A Chick-fil-A proposed for 797 Washington St. won a majority of Middletown’s Planning and Zoning Commission on Wednesday, Sept. 23, but not enough votes to pass. The commission split 4-3 in favor, and its bylaws require five votes in favor for an approval, so the application was denied, Patch reported.
The plan called for a restaurant of about 5,020 square feet with a two-lane drive-thru. The city’s online list of commission applications shows the special exception for 797 Washington Street, SE2026-15, as denied.
Dutch Point Credit Union Wins Approval Next Door
The same night, the commission approved Dutch Point Credit Union’s plan for the neighboring lot at 809 Washington St. The branch would be a 2,500-square-foot building with a pair of drive-up banking lanes, according to Patch.
The two projects shared one site plan and, in effect, one parking lot, Patch reported. The city’s application list shows the 809 Washington Street application as approved.
