CHESHIRE — Cheshire Fitness Zone will now be expanding its services to incorporate a new indoor swimming pool for clients.
The plans for such an addition were presented to and approved by the Cheshire Planning and Zoning Commission last month.
“The applicant is looking to have a building addition for a pool, for therapeutic and aquatic services,” Scott Nolan, civil engineer from SLR Consulting, said during the Feb. 16 meeting. “We are conforming to the 12-foot setback to Maple Avenue, and the 26-foot setback to George Avenue. The building addition will not impact any sort of access to the site, and the addition is also in conformance with the building lot coverage, per the regulations.”
Cheshire Fitness Zone, owned by Craig Goldstein, is located at 382 South Main St. However the new pool will be located at a facility on George Avenue, near Cheshire Orthopedic and Rehab. Goldstein’s business has operated in town for over 20 years. Its first location was in the Watch Factory Shoppes.
The business helps students and adolescents of all ages and abilities address various physical, occupational, and speech therapeutics needs.
“We have been using the local Cheshire Community pool for some time now, but since the pandemic we haven’t had the kind of access we normally would,” said Goldstein. “The opportunity came up for us to purchase some land and build a pool, and we are so excited about it.”
“Buoyancy is really effective in offsetting gravity for some kids, and helps them walk or move better in the water than they would on land,” Goldstein added. “We even will utilize (it) for doing different speech therapy in the pool. Something like a different setting can really help kids grasp difficult concepts in a new way.”
Commissioner EJ Kurtz III asked Nolan to explain how the applicant plans to address additional runoff during inclement weather.
“We’ve also added additional equipment to accommodate the increase in runoff — after the independent review and engineering comments, this was suggested,” he said. “The roof would run off into the additional underground chambers.”
Once Kurtz closed the public hearing, he commented that, in his view, the new pool seems like a good fit for the business.
The motion passed unanimously. It is Goldstein’s hope that the new pool will be available for his clients to use at the end of the summer.
