Citing traffic concerns, the Fairfield Town Plan and Zoning Commission unanimously denied a proposal for a new location at 750 Post Road, the land formerly occupied by Joe's American Bar & Grill and Colonial Unisex Hair Cutters.
Developers had sought special permits and a special coastal site plan to construct the 5,000-square-foot fast food restaurant and drive-thru at the nearly two-acre site.
The scope of the plan had some worried, with many claiming that downtown traffic would become untenable and would disrupt the current ambiance of the area. It also included plans for a parking lot that would have had more than 75 spaces to go along with a two-lane drive-thru.
Moving forward, the developers will have the opportunity to file an appeal or can suggest a different design for the project.
