Roosevelt Forest trail into Shelton

[Teresa Gallagher]

FYI,

Stratford’s Roosevelt Forest trails system was extended north into the City of Shelton to the end of Arthurs Court. I’ve attached their map, and from that map I sketched in the trail location on the NVCOG GIS map below.  Good to be aware in case something comes up with any of these properties. There is a paper street, an “owner unknown” parcel, Boy Scout, Joro Inc (builder since the 1980s, possibly leftover from a Stratford subdivision) and a couple State of Connecticut properties, which I assume are related to the construction of Rt 8. I have not actually seen this with my own eyes, but it’s on their map.

Is this an opportunity to work jointly with Stratford to request a Quit Claim deed from the State of CT as surplus land – same from BSA – and then see if a member of JORO is still alive to do the same – maybe in return for forgiveness of the presumed back taxes  and in recognition it is landlocked (or hae the city foreclose on it) – and make it all officially Open Space added to the Roosevelt Forrest network, albeit with  Shelton’s borders, and defer to Stratford to extending a trail net work on it?

Looking at Stratford's GIS map, I think those "owner unknown" parcels are part of land that extends well into Stratford, also owned by someone associated with the JORO corporation. I wonder if this corporation has any plans to develop this land or is stuck with it and would consider disposing of the property.

Interesting.

Looking at Stratford GIS - who is Joseph Stupak that owns 37ac in Roosevelt Forest that is only assessed value of a little under $8k?

Attached is a feeble attempt at illustrating the area of both Shelton and Stratford GIS systems via screen shots.
