COMPASS POINTE ESTATES, LLC – PUBLIC HEARING (continued) – Notice of Intent (Main and Sewall Street – Compass Pointe) Construct a portion of a subdivision roadway and two detention basins within the buffer zone of Spruce Pond to the north and a red maple shrub swamp to the south.
Because a quorum could not be met with Jeff Walsh recusing himself, the Commission agreed to continue the hearing to October.
COMPASS POINTE ESTATES, LLC – PUBLIC HEARING (continued) – Stormwater Control Application (Main and Sewall Street – Compass Pointe) Construct a residential subdivision located on Sewall Street.
BOYLSTON WATER DISTRICT – PUBLIC HEARING – Notice of Intent (Sewall Street [N of Abbey Road to Compass Pointe]) Install a 6” to 8” diameter water main within the paved surface and gravel shoulder of Sewall Street, from approximately Abbey Road to the south entrance to the Compass Pointe subdivision.
Paul McManus and Scott McCubrey were in attendance. Green cards were received. The ad fee was not received. The plans were reviewed. Resources are Sewall Brook (perennial stream); riverfront area is the biggest concern. The brook will be crossed on the top of culvert and will have no immediate impact on the brook. A temporary sediment trap is proposed near Pine Street and sediment erosion control will be installed along Camp Harrington drive. No alternatives were reasonable to which the Commission agreed. Mr. Venincasa will install the section from Compass Pointe to the brook and to the school on the other end. The Commission is concerned about the status of their filing, which originally only covered the section from Compass Pointe to the school. The Water
District’s permit would cover the work from Abbey Road to Compass Pointe, which the Commission is satisfied with. J. Walsh reviewed pipe size with the applicant. It was noted that a DEP file number (115-340) had been issued; no public comments. A discussion as to how the NOI will be recorded was held. The Commission suggested it be recorded against the Compass Pointe subdivision. The Order is not subject to the Stormwater Bylaw. W. Lonstein motioned to close the Public Hearing; M. Coakley seconded; all agreed. M. Coakley motioned to issue a standard Order of Conditions; J. McGrath seconded; all agreed.
