On April 26, 2004 The Newtown Bee reported, "Concluding that the traffic burden on the narrow, winding Oakview Road would be overwhelming, Planning and Zoning Commission (P&Z) members have rejected a developer's proposed zone change, which had been sought as part of a proposal to build 80 age-restricted condominiums on a 52-acre site near Newtown High School... Mr O'Neil said that the traffic problems that would occur on Oakview Road would be worse than those that would occur on Boggs Hill Road if a Buddhist temple were to be built at 145 Boggs Hill Road. In its February 2003 rejection of the Cambodian Buddhist Society of Connecticut's proposal to build a 7,600-square-foot Buddhist temple/meeting hall at 145 Boggs Hill Road, P&Z members cited increased traffic on t

he narrow, winding Boggs Hill Road as a prime reason for turning down that project. The Buddhists are challenging that rejection in court."
