Tilcon is proposing a zoning change that would allow it to expand its basalt quarry operations by another 83 acres. The proposal would rezone parts of Long Swamp Road and Nike Road from a residential zone to a quarry zone. According to an agenda for the Planning and Zoning Commission, a public hearing will be scheduled for April 8. He said, if the request is approved, there would be a requirement for a six foot chain link fence with warning signs wherever quarry activities are happening within 100 feet of the protection zone line. DeVoe’s last day as town planner is March 13. Any further actions with this project, he said, will have to be handled by his successor. The application by Tilcon states that the consultant for this project would be SLR International Consulting.
