Sorry, I clicked the wrong link :) Good luck with the hearing.
An EPA case study of New Haven from 2009, with recent technical modeling maps showing possible exposure levels, may be found here:

I would like to look into this, but the BZA does not keep publicly available minutes of it's decisions, making it impossible. I've sent an e-mail to city staff asking the following:
Did the commissioners discuss the proposal?
Did they provide a rationale for approval?
How many people were for/against in the audience?
Did City Plan make a recommendation?
If so, did the BZA vote to follow the recommendation?
If not, did they explain what information they heard at the hearing made them vote against the recommendation?
I would strongly urge anyone who cares about transparency and fairness and zoning issues to push and find out why BZA does not keep public minutes on the internet.
