SEYMOUR – The Seymour Planning and Zoning Commission denied a request Thursday (April 11) to change the zoning on three Pearl Street properties from residential to multi-family.
The commission voted 3 – 2 in favor of the zone change.
However, the zone change request faced strong opposition from neighbors who circulated a petition with 47 names.
The town verified the names on the petition and found 31 percent of the people signing were surrounding landowners. That percentage triggered a rule in Seymour land use regulations dictating that a two-thirds vote from the commission was needed to approve anything.
That meant four commissioners had to vote ‘yes’ for the approval to stick.

SEYMOUR – A former Seymour police sergeant subject to five internal affairs investigations in two years voluntarily surrendered his Connecticut Police Officer Certification.
The move means the former officer, Jonathan Martin, cannot work in law enforcement in Connecticut. However, he can apply to get his certification back next year.
His name will be included on a national list of decertified officers, and he will appear on the state’s Police Officer Standards & Training (POST) website.
“Jonathan Martin has voluntarily surrendered his certification and the case has been closed,” Richard Green, a POST spokesman, told the Valley Indy via an email.
The Valley Indy left a message with Martin’s lawyer.
SEYMOUR — The cause of a fire that destroyed a house on Patrick Drive and took the life of a family’s dog last week remains under investigation.
Meanwhile, the community has stepped up, raising more than $7,770 to help the family through a GoFundMe fundraiser.
Seymour Fire Marshal Timm Willis told The Valley Indy Wednesday (April 17) that the cause of the fire at a single-family home at 24 Patrick Dr. is not known.
“It’s undetermined at this point and Deputy Fire Marshal Robert Rockwell is continuing to investigate,” Willis said. “I can tell you there was no wrongdoing, and the fire was not intentionally set.”
