Greens Farms Academy’s application to build a new athletics/wellness center on its Beachside Avenue campus won unanimous approval Monday from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
The new building, encompassing roughly 29,200 square feet, will be integrated with the private school’s squash center, according to the special permit/site plan application.
The town’s Architectural Review Board had approved the design plans in April. And because of the septic system’s size and proximity to the state’s Southwest Shoreline Watershed, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection in August signed off on the plans.
The new structure will be built on the site of a maintenance building, which will be demolished, close to the Maple Lane side of the campus, behind what the applicant promised would be enhanced natural screening by trees and plantings. [Westport Journal]
