Plan calls for 72 homes along Berlin Turnpike By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen
The town has received its first application for mixed use development on the Berlin Turnpike under a recently adopted commercial/ residential zone. Applicant John Orsini’s plan would demolish the building that is currently home to Berlin Pizza and a cigar store and replace it with an 18,000 square foot commercial
building and 72 two-bedroom homes with detached garages. The plan also calls for a clubhouse. The building at 196 Berlin Turnpike is across from Home Depot. A public hearing on the plan is is scheduled for today, Thursday Aug. 1. Attorney Dennis Ceneviva, who represents the applicant, said the new Berlin Turnpike Development Zone encourages new construc-
tion by allowing developers Berlin Turnpike. to locate potential customers The zone change idea was next to businesses. originally brought before the “I think many towns are rePlanning and Zoning Comalizing it’s becoming difficult mission by Peter D’Addeo, a Rocky Hill realtor who is to develop sites on a purely seeking to build 200 apartretail basis,” he said. ments in a mixed use develTo qualify for the new zone, opment to the south of the a property must be at least Blue Lobster eatery on the 10 acres in one of the three Berlin Turnpike.

Economic Development Director Chris Edge said allowing residential/commercial developments fits the new marketplace. “If it’s just a commercial development, the financing is very difficult,” he said. Adding more lower-cost housing also supports local businesses, Edge said, by providing homes for young professionals. See Turnpike, A12
Town looks to remove tree stumps By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen
The Town Council is working on a loose plan to address numerous stumps on town right-of-ways, particularly those in the Worthington Ridge historic district.
Numerous tree stumps line Worthington Ridge, which residents say was known for its canopy. Power utility company Eversource said regular cullings are needed to prevent damage to power lines. Devin Leith-Yessian, The Citizen
During the public hearing at the start of the July 23 council meeting, Arthur Powers, former mayor and a Worthington Ridge resident, said recent tree felling has left the banks of the road littered with stumps and degraded the tree canopy which once blocked all sight of the sun from the roadside.
"If we had a three-year program, it would not be a burden on the budget in the town. I think it would be a good idea and get all of those stumps out of the way and then have a horticulturalist tell us what kinds of trees we should plant in their place," he said.
ery year and remove stumps in conjunction with regular roadwork.
The council did not take action July 23 and tasked Public Works Director Mike Ahern with gathering more information and narrowing down a list of hundreds of stumps in town.
The obstacles include how to determine which stumps to remove, including if Worthington Ridge should receive priority given its designation on the National Register of Historic Places, how much to allocate towards removal and whether to pur-
Deputy Mayor Brenden Luddy said he’d like to see the council set money aside ev-
"I have to agree with some of the comments made by Mr. Powers. You know, you see some of these trees and they look like apple cores that somebody bit into," he said.

Events honor Berlin athlete who was killed in 2011 Over the last nine years, the Ryan T. Lee Memorial Foundation has raised $375,000 for more than 60 college scholarships, collected food and money for those less fortunate, and started lead-
ership initiatives impacting students in towns such as Cheshire, Berlin, New Britain, Meriden, Southington, and more. “The support of so many people has meant a lot to us,” said Cheshire High School physical education teacher Dan Lee, Ryan’s father. “We have taken a tragedy and made a difference for other people.” This is an eventful stretch for the non-profit – Foundation Week. First, this past Sunday in Berlin, the Eighth Annual Mini Golf Classic was held at
Putter’s Paradise Mini Golf. On July 29-30, the Junior Golf Classic was held at Timberlin Golf Course in Berlin. On July 31, foundation members visited the Boys and Girls Club of New Britain to donate 60 backpacks. To cap off the week, Timberlin will host the Ninth Annual Golf Classic on Friday, Aug. 2. A dinner will follow at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville. “I think it is an exciting time,” said foundation board member Jim McNair. “It is
sad that we need a (memorial) foundation, but it is good to help so many people.” While Friday’s golf classic at Timberlin is already sold out, tickets are still available for the dinner. There will be a cocktail hour before the event starts at 7 p.m. The inaugural golf classic led to the foundation being formed in 2011. McNair’s son John and friend Tim Cote played basketball with Ryan Lee in Berlin and came up with the idea for the tournament. See Lee, A12

Two-sport star, good friend, and loyal family member were just some of the words used to describe Ryan T. Lee. Back in 2011, Lee was tragically struck by a taxi cab in New York City and passed away from his injuries at age 19, but in his memory,
friends and family continue to be inspired to make a positive impact in people’s lives.

We’re busy, but so are the groups caring for our community. They don’t stop and nor should we.
Suicide From A7
suicide should be applauded — especially at a time when youth suicide rates are up and some experts consider this to be evidence of a mental health crisis.
Sydney was born at 1:15 a.m., weighed 6 lbs. 7 oz. and was 19.5 inches long. She joins her big brother, Blake John Pulaski.
“It seems like every day or every other week … when you open the newspaper there is some instance of a young person taking their life,” said Joeline Wruck, director of community initiatives and program services for the Community Foundation.

The suicide rate in Connecticut is relatively low — we rank 45th out of the 50 states, with the most-rural states having the starkest statistics. But we have all heard of cases of young people taking their own lives in nearby towns, so there is no reason not to be concerned. We commend the Community Foundation for its efforts.

Dan Lee and John McNair annually plan the event with help of volunteers and Timberlin staff. With Ryan having played countless times in Berlin, Timberlin has special significance for the Lee family. “The staff has been very
supportive,” said Lee. “There are a lot of long-term employees who remember Ryan. A lot of his friends also come back for the (golf ) tournament and dinner.” The Lee Foundation is also planning the Fourth Annual Memorial Collegiate Golf Open on Sept. 6-8 at Hop Meadow Country Club in Simsbury. Seventeen teams have signed up this year.
Dan Lee coaches boys’ basketball and boys’ golf at Cheshire High School. “Golf was a passion for Ryan,” said Lee.

The foundation additionally holds events beyond the sports arena. On Ryan’s birthday (July 20) for the last eight years, a food drive has been held to benefit the Berlin Food Bank. This year at Stop & Shop in Berlin, volunteers collected a trailer full of food and received $2,100 in Stop & Shop food cards.

chase equipment for town Public Works staff to remove stumps themselves, or hire a contractor to do the work. Ahern said he spoke with staff to determine what type of machine would fit the department’s capabilities and what it would cost to purchase. He estimated that supplying the equipment to do it in-house would cost around $28,000. Given the workload crews already have, they recommended utilizing a contractor, which Ahern said typically runs between $400 and $600 per stump, including the cost of restoring topsoil and grass seeding. dleithyessian@ record-journal.com 203-317-2317
