The developer for a proposed apartment project near Long Meadow Pond Brook has downsized the plan after residential backlash, but residents continue to show strong opposition. Apartments at Long Meadow of Shelton initially proposed a 467-unit complex in eight buildings with 695 parking spaces, including 233 in garage spaces under buildings on 34.6 acres close to Long Meadow Pond Brook between Webb Road and Rubber Avenue. The area previously was a farm. The plan also called for townhouse units, a clubhouse and a pool. SLR Consulting engineer Darin Overton, representing the applicant, revealed at a Dec. 6 Inland Wetlands Commission hearing two alternate and smaller proposals. The commission continued the hearing to Jan. 3 at 6:45 p.m. at the Board of Education building.
