A copy of both applications, including the exact mapping of the proposed zoning map revisions and wording of the proposed zoning regulations, is available in the Mansfield Planning and Town Clerks Offices at 4 S. Eagleville Rd., during normal business hours. Additionally application materials may be viewed at Mansfield’s web site www.mansfieldct.org.
