Using descriptions ranging from “excessive” to “a monster,” a group of Farmington residents on Monday called on the town to reject the proposal for 146 apartments near the UConn Health Center. But developer Geoffrey Sager countered that Connecticut and the town have worked for years to attract major health sciences employers to that area, and his project would benefit them and their workers. The plan and zoning commission had already held an all-night hearing on the plan, and Monday night’s session went on for more than four and a half hours with no resolution. It will be resumed April 26. Residents raised concerns about higher traffic along with potential groundwater contamination from blasting near the former landfill on the property. Sager presented traffic and hydrology experts who said their tests and projections determined there’s no reason for concern.
