A 24-home development is proposed for Perry Hill Road in Shelton

A 24-home development is being proposed on Perry Hill Road, near Walnut Avenue.

The yellow line indicates where a 24-home development as well as two existing homes would be located, with Perry Hill Road on the right and Walnut Avenue on the top.

Perry Hill Estates is being described as cluster type of housing, and would be built at 88 Perry Hill Road, near the Block Farm and Highland Golf Club.

Two parcels totaling 13.5 acres would be combined to create a rectangular site. Two existing houses on the properties off Perry Hill Road would remain and became separate lots.

All the houses in the new development would be on individual lots, with an association formed to oversee some common areas, including the roads.

The land now is zoned for residential use and has about 1.5 acres of wetlands, including a watercourse. A sanitary sewer line runs through part of the property.

It also is hilly, with about a 50-foot drop in elevation from the Walnut Avenue side on the east to the Bridgeport Avenue side on the west. The land contains both fields and woods, and most of it was used for farming in the past.

James Swift, an engineer and landscape architect, and developer Ben Perry recently presented initial plans for Perry Hill Estates to the Inland Wetlands Commission (IWC).

The developer is seeking IWC approval for the project before going to the Planning and Zoning Commission to apply for creation of a Planned Development District (PDD).
