The presentation included two options for a combination of duplex and single family units with access off Edes Street (preferred option) or Woodworth Street or a 16 unit inclusionary housing project off Woodworth Street. The site has some potential wetland issues that would need to be addressed.
In discussing the project, it was noted that there is an appeal by a neighborhood group to DEP of the Conservation Commission’s determination confirming the wetlands boundaries as presented.
