WEST HARTFORD — A long night of arguments from sometimes irate neighbors ended with West Hartford’s town council authorizing a luxury apartment complex on Berkshire Road.
“We are firmly against it,” Jonathan Herr of Berkshire Road said during the council’s five-and-a-half-hour-long hearing on Zoom. “It literally takes up a quarter of the neighborhood. It’s a monstrosity.”
A long procession of speakers from the neighborhood told the council to reject a zone change for The Residences at Berkshire Road, a 26-unit apartment complex planned for the corner of Shadow Lane and Berkshire.
“We feel strongly about the integrity of our neighborhood,” said Maria Voghel, who said she had been asked to speak on behalf of a half-dozen homeowners against the project.
