After Complaint, Greenwich P&Z Considers “Fabric Covered Structure” at Burning Tree Golf Course

By: greenwichfreepress | 14 hours ago

A fabric covered storage structure was erected without a permit. The commission said pickleball was being played, though they believed only tennis was approved. Commissioner Dennis Yeskey said Burning Tree Club had always been a great neighbor. “But over the last five years it just keeps imposing on the neighborhood noise levels and construction that I don’t think the management is sensitive to….pickleball, I do not get. It doesn’t belong here in the neighborhood. I don’t believe the tennis documents you show cover pickleball. Period.”

Birdie’s Auto Spa Brings Steam Detailing to Your Greenwich Driveway

By: greenwichfreepress | July 30, 2021

Eric Birdsall, aka “Birdie” has been detailing cars and SUVs inside and out with less than one gallon of water per car.
