Hearing set on former Lincoln College property Conceptual plans for housing at the former Lincoln College on Mount Vernon Road, Southington.

By Jesse Buchanan Record-Journal staff

Town leaders are looking for residents’ opinions on a zone change that would allow for an age-restricted housing development at the former Lincoln College property.

Southington

College campus owners said they haven’t been able to attract another school or a buyer interested in using the dorm and classroom buildings. They’ve been talking with local developer Mark Lovley about high-end ranch-style homes on the 32-acre site.

Planning Department

While the area is already zoned residential, Lovley’s plan for age-restricted cluster housing would require Planning and Zoning Approval. The requested change would allow for a denser housing development than currently permitted.

The owners of DePaolo Furniture, a landmark downtown store for decades, are selling their two Center Street buildings.

The showrooms at 39 and 83 Center St. are priced at $1.6 million.

COVID-19 may have slowed local home sales last spring, but real estate agents are reporting pent up buyer demand sparking bidding wars that are well over asking prices.

“Prices have absolutely in-

creased,” said Maryann Stanley, of Century 21 All Points Realty in Southington. “... we can have 10 to 15 buyers.

People are going in over asking (price).”

Robert Hammersley, commission chairman, said a public hearing on the zone change is scheduled for Sept. 15. For the past few months, the public has attended via video conference.

More information on attending public meetings virtually can be found at www.southington.org.

The commission’s task is to determine if the Mount Vernon Road location is a good one for age-restricted cluster housing. Hammersley said the commission would consider details of the housing plan if the developer gets the zone change and submits a site plan application.

“That’s the situation in front of us” on Sept. 15.

considered adding public water and sewer, which would allow 113 homes, but the cost of extending utilities was too high.

Lovley’s North Ridge housing development borders the college property. He said residents of that neighborhood are likely to speak in favor of his plan since it avoids uses that area residents found objectionable.

He and other developers have touted age-restricted housing as a way to increase the residential tax base without increased costs on the public school district, the most expensive portion of the town’s budget.

College property owners had considered drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for the campus, a plan that prompted opposition from neighbors in the residential area.

The plan was withdrawn.

Lou Perillo, the town’s economic development coordinator, said tax revenues would rise if houses were built on the college property.

But with 83 more resident households, other town services might also rise as well.

Once land is used for housing, there’s no return to other uses. “It’s a very difficult call,” Perillo said.

“This is the best thing that could happen there,” Lovley said of his housing plan.

The proposal has 83 homes “Is this a good place for us to with septic systems. Lovley

DePaolo Furniture is still open. Owners Pamela and Val DePaolo couldn’t be reached for comment on the future of their business.

The two buildings total more than 33,000 square feet, according to the listing.

Susan Urillo Larson, cochairwoman of the Merchants of Downtown Southington Association, said she was shocked to learn the buildings were for sale.

“It’s one of the few stores around, as far as furniture goes, that you know you’re going to get good quality furniture,” Larson added.

Lou Perillo, the town’s economic development coordinator, said a new owner and new uses for the buildings could draw more visitors to downtown. While furniture stores use large portions of a building for display and warehousing, other retail and restaurants devote more square footage to customers and generate more traffic.

“I look at this as an opportunity for reinvigoration once it’s occupied,” Perillo said.

The furniture market has been changing also, he said, with more sales moving online or to very large furniture stores, such as Bob’s Discount Furniture or Pilgrim’s Furniture.

Concerns with parking, festivals DePaolo Furniture owner Pamela DePaolo clashed with town and business leaders over parking and events that shut down Center Street. While some businesses and restaurants enjoy the boost of pedestrian traffic during festivals, Pamela DePaolo said it made it more difficult for customers to get to her store.

Home sales were sluggish in the early days of the pandemic when traditional, inperson, open houses ceased due to industry safety guidelines.

The pandemic also frightened sellers who delayed putting their houses on the market.

But mask-wearing agents turned to private showings

in addition to virtual tours and the past three months have seen a spike in demand for single-family homes with many potential buyers coming from crowded cities, real estate agents said.

Home prices rose about 8 percent across the country during the pandemic, with the exception of New York City and San Francisco, where housing costs are already high, according to Redfin, an online listing service.

“So many people (are) coming in from out of state to buy in Connecticut and there’s not enough inventory,” Stanley said.

‘Sellers’ market’ “More and more people were being cooped up in places and saying they want a yard,” said Schede, a former president of the Connecticut Realtors Association. “It’s really a sellers’ market. There are a lot of out-of-town and out-of-state buyers that feel that because they can work from home, they can work from anywhere.”

The pandemic has also brought families together.

The situation could eventually lead to more building, but a building materials shortage caused by the pandemic has slowed housing projects now in the works, Christensen said. She expects the demand to continue until a vaccine is found.

Summer and Main streets in back the appraised value. In other instances, some buyers who exceed the listing price and the appraisal will pay the extra in cash, she said. A multi-family home buyer is showing up to a closing this week with $400,000 in cash, she said.

“There is a 3.2 month supply of available properties on the market in Meriden; this means that if no other properties were to come on the market within the next 3.2 months, the inventory would be fully depleted,” Norfleet said.

Cameron Norfleet, of Century 21 AllPoints Realty, said the south end of Meriden has seen a 12.5 percent increase in sale prices over three years, and that 18 out of 64 properties in the city sold in the last month were on the market for seven days or fewer.

The work-at-home phenomenon is forcing people to rethink the way they utilize their home. Home is now work, school, daycare, etc. For these reasons, people are now looking for bigger homes and caring less about commuting time, Norfleet said.

In Wallingford, the town will hold a remembrance event at 6:30 p.m. in front of town hall.

Attendees are required to wear masks where appropriate and to observe social distancing. A Lyman Hall High School student will be the guest speaker.

In Cheshire, town officials “It’s been a really crazy time in real estate,” said Judi Mik of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties in Wallingford.

It’s not unusual these days to see offers $30,000 or more over asking price in Meriden, Wallingford and Southington.

Extremely low mortgage interest rates are also fueling the buying frenzy.

“The interest rates are terrific,” Mik said. “People working at home are finding they want a house and a yard.”

haven’t planned a remembrance event on Sept. 11. However, plans are underway for a dedication of the pavilion at Cheshire Park, in memory of Mark Jardim, a member of the Cheshire High School class of 1980, who worked in the World Trade Center and died during the attacks.

Condominiums have also picked up, but not to the same level as single-famiy homes. But complexes such as Mattabasset on Meriden’s east side have returned to the $160,000 to $170,000 price point, she said.

“The inventory was low to begin with and COVID prevented people from selling,” Mik said.

9% of Conn. households uncounted With less than a month remaining for households to respond to the 2020 U.S. Census, Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz announced that Connecticut’s total enumeration rate – the self-response rate plus those enumerated in nonresponse follow-up – is 91.2 percent, and encouraged the remaining nine percent of households to complete the decennial questionnaire.

“Over the past year-and-ahalf, I have crisscrossed the state to encourage households to respond to the 2020 U.S. Census. Despite continued efforts to dis-

courage communities of color – particularly our immigrant population – from responding to the Census, Connecticut is one of the best counted states in the country. With less than a month to respond to the decennial count and nine percent of Connecticut households still uncounted, we need to double down on efforts to make sure we achieve a complete count.

This is about receiving critical federal funding for programs households rely on every day for basic needs: food, healthcare, childcare and so much more,” Bysiewicz said.

Connecticut’s self-response rate – 69.2 percent – exceeds the national response rate of 65 percent.

Census takers began nonresponse follow up with households in hard-tocount Census tracts on July 23. In Connecticut, an additional 22 percent of households have been enumerated through nonresponse follow-up.

Of the states that make up the Northeast Region, Connecticut and Rhode Island – both 91.2 percent – have the highest total enumeraSee Census, A9

Board of Education hears update on cost of reopening schools

By Michael Gagne Record-Journal staff

With learning set to resume for more than 6,000 students this week, school officials recently updated the Board of Education on reopening costs.

The exact reimbursement the district will receive from the state for transportation and personal protective equipment is not finalized.

DiNello, the district's director of business and finance, told the Board of Education during an in-person meeting last week that was broadcast online for public access.

The bulk of the money is surplus funds from the previous school year. In the spring, the district had $1.9 million available for reopening.

District officials also anticipate additional state aid.

Combining local budget surpluses and potential state reimbursements, the district is looking at a possible $2.5 million in total funding with costs so far tallied at around $1.6 million.

Most of the funding will be needed to cover additional staffing – including bus monitors, educators, nurses, certified nursing assistants and custodial staff.

“We feel we are in a good place, but we know there are still unknowns,” Sherri

To date the district has only received $16,617 from the state for personal protective

equipment, including face masks.

Dinello estimated the costs for the equipment to be around $310,000.

Dinello said she had contacted the state Office of Policy and Management.

“OPM has agreed that our PPE will be funded,” Dinello told the board.

Most students are returning for in-person instruction.

The families of around 430 students in elementary school have opted for remote learning to start the school year, Superintendent Tim Connellan told the board.

Steven Madancy, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, said staff has received additional

Obituaries

training to deliver a combination of in-person and distance instruction, much centered on new software.

Several board members said they had visited schools in advance of the reopening.

Colleen Clark said she was “very encouraged” by her recent tour of South End Elementary School.

“I was very elated to see how well everyone has adapted to what is the new normal,” Clark said.

Rose C. Rotella

Friday is the first full day of school for local students.

Orientation sessions were scheduled for the start of the week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. mgagne@record-journal.com 203-317-2231 Twitter:@MikeGagneRJ

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS

Plug pulled on tackle football CIAC will look for lower-risk alternatives; volleyball a go indoors with masks

By Bryant Carpenter Record-Journal staff

CHESHIRE — Traditional 11-on-11 tackle football games will not be played this fall in Connecticut. Girls volleyball games will, but with players wearing masks.

The CIAC’s Board of Control voted Friday morning to pull the plug on a full-contact football after the state Department of Public Health, in a Thursday, Sept. 3 letter, reiterated its stance against higher risk sports such as football and indoor volleyball being played this fall.

A solution was found for volleyball, but not for 11-on-11 football.

“We don’t think that 7-v-7 football is a replacement for 11-v-11 football,” CIAC Executive Director Glenn Lungarini said Friday, noting that the National Federation of High School Associations has taken the same position.

“I am hopeful that we will come up with the coaches and the athletic directors and our football committee a The CIAC will look for lower-risk alnumber of ways to moderate risk activternatives for football, such as comity that don’t present any more danger bines, which means teams can conthan a soccer or field hockey game tinue with conditioning and non-con- would present.” tact skill workouts, which have been under way since Aug. 29.

doors with players wearing masks.

“The CIAC and its medical experts believe that the modification of wearing masks mitigates the risk expressed by DPH and provides a safe indoor environment for the sport of volleyball,” the CIAC stated.

Friday’s announcement was the latest twist in a Connecticut sports rollercoaster ride that dates back to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March, but has gained in intensity over the past month.

The CIAC allowed teams to start conditioning in cohorts of 10 on July 6 only to shut it down for 12 days in mid-August when the state Department of Public Health raised objections to the CIAC’s initial re-opening plan for the fall season that was unveiled on July 30.

From A57

Then, on Aug. 27, the CIAC updated its fall plan that featured three weeks of cohort practice, two weeks of fullteam practice and an Oct. 1 start date for games. The plan included a green light for 11-on-11 football.

The CIAC, in response, asked the DPH on Aug. 28 if it would evaluate COVID data with the CIAC at the end of September or in early October to determine whether high–risk sports could proceed.

The problem was, the Department of Public Health was still advising against it, recommending football be pushed to

The DPH, in its Sept. 3 letter to the CIAC, stuck to its guns.

“As we have stated previously and consistently, there are characteristics that make certain sports unique with regard to their potential for the spread of COVID-19, and thereby present a higher risk for initiating or furthering community spread of any outbreaks even when data metrics support in-

“With regard to CIAC’s consideration of additional mitigation strategies for indoor girls’ volleyball and football that may lower their risks for person-to-person respiratory droplet spread, DPH has suggested that CIAC consider modifications to higher risk activities, and we continue to encourage such modifications. Absent such modifications, DPH is unlikely to support higher risk activities for the Fall term.”

The rest of the CIAC’s fall plan remains intact.

On Friday, teams were com-

pleting the first of three weeks of conditioning and non-contact skill work practices that are limited to one hour and must be done in cohorts of no more than 10.

Longer, full-team practices will begin on Sept. 21 if the state’s COVID-19 case numbers, which by then should reflect the first two weeks of school, remain below certain thresholds.

An abbreviated regular season would be played in October, followed by a “tournament experience” in early November — again, if COVID-19 numbers remain good.

The DPH is charting the state’s daily numbers, as well as weekly numbers on schools, every Thursday, at data.ct.gov/stories/s/CTSchool-Reopening.

That data includes the numbers the state Departments of Education and Public Health are using to advise schools on remote versus distance learning. The early read out, according to the DPH, is not favorable. The state has had a recent rise in cases and people under the age of 30 accounted for about half of it.

“Unfortunately, we are already seeing some of the metrics in our state trending upward,” Gifford wrote in the Sept. 3 letter to the CIAC. Friday’s decision by the CIAC brought a formal close to high school-level tackle football in Connecticut for 2020. The prep schools cancelled football last month. All of Connecticut’s colleges have also canceled football.
