Trail association Residents OK $103M plan monitoring Banton St. land BUDGET VOTE

By Bailey Wright The Citizen

Residents voted Tuesday in favor of the Board of Finance’s 2019-20 budget proposal, which totaled about $103 million. The May 21 referendum passed by 197 votes – 581 yes, 384 no – according to the office of the Town Clerk. Absentee ballots accounted for 8 yes and 3 no votes.

$54,590,313.

This proposal reflects a 4.9 percent increase from the current $98.9 million budget. The Board of Education’s budget shows a 2.9 percent, or $1,537,477, increase from the previous year.

Capital expenses account for $936,000 of the total; an increase of 67 percent, or “The town, financially, is in $377,000 from the previous year, which Freda said is “It’s a zero tax increase and great shape,” Monico said. due to the schedule of debt we’ve increased public One of the most noservice accrued from resafety at the same time,” cent capital improvements Board of Finance chairman table accomplishments of this budget, he said, like building the new midRichard Monico said is spending for communidle school, road paving and Wednesday. cation improvements to the the new police station.

The North Haven Trail Association will continue assessing the town’s newest land acquisition on Banton Street, but association president Steve Fontana said the plot’s extensive wetlands will be difficult to work with. “It’s very challenging to do anything with it,” Fontana said. “We’re hoping to do something, if we can.” The town acquired the undeveloped 6.1 acres as a donation from the estate of Nancy Love Leonard, officially approving it through the Board of Selectmen on May 9.

At that meeting, the first selectman and town engineer said the trail association was interested in the 6 Banton St. property. “I think the hope was that the existing trails that are on the state park property would be extended onto this

property as well,” Town Engineer Andrew Bevilacqua said during the meeting. However, Fontana said while the trail association hopes the property can be used for some kind of outdoor recreation, the feasibility of doing anything at all with the land is in question. Fontana said it became apparent during a visit to the site last November that the majority of the property is wet most of the year. The Quinnipiac River travels through the site. “I think we just need to keep an eye on it … and just see if it’s ever at a place where it’s dry enough,” Fontana said. The trail association plans to monitor the area throughout the spring and summer and return in the fall to see if the property has dried up at all. See Banton, A2

‘Pick-up zone’ coming to North Haven Target By Bailey Wright The Citizen

As part of a national rebranding effort, Target will be adding a “pick-up zone” at its Universal Drive store this year. “The idea is that you wouldn’t really have to leave your car. Someone would just be able to come and put this in your car, close the

door, and you can drive away,” said Dean Apostoleris, who was representing the applicant, Target, at the May 6 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The 200 Universal Drive North store was approved to convert six current parking spots towards the front of the parking lot into four pick-up zones. The area

will have a beacon sign for customers to identify it. The idea is a customer would make an order online or via the Target app, which would notify the store. The store then notifies the customer when the order is ready, and the employees will get an alert when the customer is at the stall ready for pick-up.

“With increased demands for online shopping, as well as store pick-up, Target wants to stay ahead of the edge of their so called 'retail apocalypse' and bring customers into their stores,” Apostoleris said. Commission members voiced some concerns regarding the safety of employees “scurrying” around

the parking lot to get to the vehicles, and what the beacon sign would look like. Apostoleris said the safety of customers and employees is “first and foremost” on the company’s mind, and proceeded to show the commission a mapped-out potential route an employee would take to deliver the goods.

line that aren't offered in-store,” Fredricksen said. Apostoleris said Target estimates about a 7minute turnaround per car and plans to have the location of the parking lot loading zone consistent across stores.

Land Use Administrator Alan Fredricksen said he can imagine the benefits of the new service coming into play for products like TV’s, which could be hard to transport, and for getting the Target expects to have best prices. this new feature at most “The benefit I guess, for the stores by the end of the consumer in part, is that year.

ation, the next issue becomes access. Parking needs to be considered as well.

Building trails would probably require at least a couple foot bridges, Fontana said. The association is also considering clearing an area for a picnic table or outdoor classroom.

If the association cannot use the property, Fontana said the town has still preserved a beautiful stretch of property with this acquisition. The North Haven Trail Association maintains trails in

Fontana hopes the trail association can work with the town to create a map, which would give them a better sense of what pieces of the property – if any – may be dry for most of the year.

Local man charged with manslaughter, DUI MERIDEN — A North Haven man faces charges of manslaughter and driving under the influence after po-

lice said he drove the wrongway on eastbound Interstate 691 last year and struck a tractor-trailer. A woman in his car died as a result of the crash, police said.

Man charged with stealing rare coins from local church NORTH HAVEN — A local man faces charges after police said evidence led to him being identified as the suspect in the theft of rare coins from the Motowese Baptist Church last year. Matthew Vozza, 30, of North Haven, was arrested on May 6 and charged with third-degree burglary and sixth-degree larceny. During the spring of 2018 North Haven detectives responded to Motowese Baptist Church, 201 Quinnipiac Ave., for a report of a burglary. Police investigating learned rare foreign and domestic coins were stolen

from an office in the church, police said. Police identified Vozza as a suspect after a long investigaVozza tion. Vozza was identified as a suspect based on evidence at the scene that was sent to the state forensics laboratory, police said.

Georgios Kattis, 37, of 18 Chapman Court, North Haven, was arrested Thursday, May 16 and charged with second-degree manslaughter, first-degree reckless endangerment, driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, reckless driving, driving the wrong way on a highway, failure to wear seatbelt and failure to display lights. On May 29, 2018, police responded to a two-vehicle crash on I-691 by exit 5, according to the arrest warrant. Police found a heavily damaged Nissan with Kattis sitting in the driver’s seat, conscious and alert. He complained of pain and got out to lay on the ground, the warrant said.

The manner of death was listed as an accident. The driver of the other vehicle, a tractor-trailer, told police after he passed the exit 5 off-ramp he saw a vehicle on the right shoulder of the road driving the wrong way without its lights on, the warrant said. The truck driver tried to move left to avoid a collision but the car struck the passenger side of his truck, the warrant said.

Police spoke with an employee at Mystique Gentleman’s Club, 44 Poplar St. in Stamford, according to the warrant. The employee told police he remembered Kattis and the woman coming to the club the night of the incident. He said Kattis apAn unresponsive woman in peared already intoxicated, the passenger seat had a ma- the warrant said. jor head injury, the warrant When the employee was said.

wheel of the car and they could not wake him up right away, the warrant said. Once Kattis woke up, the employee offered to call a taxi or ride-share car, but Kattis and the woman declined, the warrant said. Police obtained Kattis’ medical records from his treatment at the hospital. The records showed he had a blood alcohol level above the legal limit of .08 and also had methadone and morphine in his blood at the time. Kattis told police he drank three alcoholic beverages an hour before the crash, the warrant said. Kattis was arraigned in Meriden Superior Court on May 16. According to statements in court, he has no criminal record and turned himself in on the active warrant. The judge set bond at $50,000 and continued the case to June 20.

Vozza was arraigned in Meriden Superior Court earlier this month and released on a promise to appear. He is due back in court on June 4.

Grill master honored

Club makes timely book donation

North Haven LongHorn Steakhouse Grill Master Christopher Bowman was recently named one of the top steak masters in the country.

As interest in gardening increases, there is increased interest in how to garden without deer eating the beautiful plants and flowers. The North Haven Daytime Gardeners took this into consideration when selecting new books to add to the North Haven Memorial Library gardening collection.

Bowman took home the regional win after competing in the Steak Master Series, a culinary competition where LongHorn Steakhouse’s grilling experts are put to the test.

Bowman, an East Haven native who has worked at LongHorn for 10 years, says his favorite parts of the job are the people and the atmosphere.

Pat LaTerza, director of North Haven Memorial Library, receives donated books from Daytime Gardener Jan Meinsen.

New members are always welcome. For information on Daytime Gardeners of North Haven activities and membership, call 203-2341781.

Letters Policy

This year’s Steak Master Series competition began at the restaurant level, where grill cooks across more than 510 LongHorn locations competed to move on to the regional round.

Email letters to news@thenorthhavencitizen.com; mail to 500 South Broad St., Meriden, CT 06450 or fax to 203-639-0210. The Citizen will print only one letter per person each month. Letters should be approximately 300 words. We reserve the right to edit letters. Letters must be signed and names will appear in print. Include a phone number so The Citizen can contact you for verification. Letters must be submitted by 5 p.m. on Friday to be considered for publication the following Friday.

“Every LongHorn Steakhouse restaurant in the country has a team of certified Grill Masters who are specially trained in the art of grilling,” said Thomas Hall, executive vice president of operations at LongHorn Steakhouse. “We’re all about quality, and Chris has proved day in and day out that he is passionate about serving great quality steaks to our guests. That passion and expertise really came to life during the competition.”

“50 Beautiful Deer-Resistant Plants” is now available at the library. This book includes annuals, perennials, bulbs and shrubs that do not attract deer. They are considered deer-resistant plants, with the understanding that a really hungry deer might take a bite.

Bowman is one of 60 team members from across the country to achieve this distinction, out of the more than 5,000 who were invited to participate.

Aromatherapy is another type of gardening that is attracting increasing interest. “The Aromatherapy Garden: Growing Fragrant Plants for Happiness and Well-Being,” presents two approaches to aromatherapy. The gardener may design a garden that contains plants that are very fragrant, creating a wonderful outdoor “spa” where one can relax, read or garden, while enjoying the aroma from the various plants and flowers. Another approach is to grow plants with the intention of bringing the aroma indoors. This book includes recipes for restorative aromas, oils, sachets and teas.

FROM THE CAPITOL

Toll bill complexity could delay General Assembly vote

Democratic House Speaker Joe Aresimowicz of Berlin, a toll proponent, suggested

Monday that the General Assembly might return to Hartford for a special legislative session to vote on tolls, considering talks are still going on between lawmakers, Lamont’s administration and the Federal Highway Administration. The regular session ends June 5.

Route 15, in hopes of generating an estimated $928 million in annual gross revenues for transportation improvements. The push comes decades after Connecticut removed the state’s old toll booths in the mid1980s following a deadly toll plaza crash.

“It is an incredibly complex bill to write,” he said. “This is the type of issue I’d like to get done before we adjourn. But I wouldn’t be opposed to coming back into special session too. It’s that important to the state.”

Connecticut’s approach to resurrecting tolls is relatively unique. Most other states installed tolls years ago for “greenfield projects,” new roads, bridges or tunnels that used the revenue to cover specific costs and later generate additional money for ongoing maintenance. Some states have installed limited electronic tolls on a

The plan currently calls for roughly 50 tolls on busy Interstates 84, 91, 95 and

lane or two, creating special expressways to address traffic congestion on portions of the roadway. In contrast, Connecticut is looking at tolls on existing highways statewide. “I’m not aware that anybody else has done it this way. It’s a little bit like a unicorn,” said Patrick Jones, a toll supporter and executive director and CEO of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, referring to Connecticut’s approach to implementing tolls. Federal law over the years has mostly barred the addition of tolls to existing interstates. But Connecticut is seeking to do just that under the FHWA’s Value Pricing Pilot Program, which allows tolling and other pricing mechanisms to manage congestion on highways, typically charging higher rates during busy commuting times in hopes of encouraging drivers to vary their driving times and ultimately ease traffic. Connecticut holds one of the program’s 15 slots. The Highway Administration has been providing technical assistance to the Connecticut Department of Transportation on a proposal that meets the program’s requirements for reducing congestion. “You can’t just build tolls because you want them. You have to provide a justifiable reason. The feds had this value pricing program in their toolbox, so to speak. And that’s the only reason why we can move forward,” said Stamford Sen. Carlo Leone, the Transportation Committee co-chair. “Otherwise, if they didn’t have that, we wouldn’t be talking about tolls.”

R213814v4

Connecticut lawmakers and Gov. Ned Lamont are trying to craft a complicated plan in the waning days of the legislative session that could lead to electronic tolls on a

handful of highways, a process that’s been made more challenging by the need to ultimately obtain federal approval.

He said state officials have been “keeping the line of communications open with the feds” as they continue negotiating the tolling bill. “We’re trying to anticipate See Tolls, A11

“Every day we hear a new scheme, as they’re wheeling and dealing and trying to cobble together votes from the Democrat majority,” Rep. Laura Devlin of Fairfield, the top House Republican on the Transportation Committee, said at the rally.

what the needs are, what the demands are,” he said. “But until we officially give them the plan, we won’t know what they’re going to say, yes or no.” Once the state has submitted a formal proposal that meets the Value Price Pilot Program’s requirements, the toll plan will need federal environmental approval. The lack of a final bill so late in the legislative session and details about hot-button issues such as the exact number and location of tolling gantries and how much of a discount Connecticut drivers might receive, has helped to fuel criticism about the process. The governor originally supported only tolling big trucks like in Rhode Island. He has since put his support behind broad-based tolling and recently sent a letter to the General Assembly seeking support of tolls and expressing willingness to compromise on a plan. Lamont promised that peak toll rates would be set at 4.4 cents per mile, plus-or-minus 1.3 cents, to “allow the DOT the flexibility to ensure ultimately approval by the federal DOT.” He said the rates would be frozen for three years and there would be various discounts. Opponents of the toll plans held a rally at the state Capitol over the weekend that

of North Haven said that toll proponents are “talking about passing a plan that doesn’t exist” and then figuring out the details later. “This is about transparency. If you’ve got a plan, have the guts to put it in front of us,” he said. “Let us read it. Let’s have a public hearing on it. Let us see it, and let the people in front of us and others be a judge if that is the right plan.”
