Appl. #02-37P - Charbonneau Site - Sandra Drive
Jeff told the Commission that there are two existing lots. They would like to combine the lots and construction a building. The total amount of disturbance to the wetlands will be 3200 square feet.
Some Commission members felt that this should not be handled through a public hearing. They also felt that the Commission has been taking too many applications in for public hearing that are not necessary. It was by majority vote of the Commission that a public hearing would not be necessary for this application.
Appl. #02-39P - AMK Welding - 283 Sullivan Avenue
Jeff informed Commission members that this site is proposing for 2,000-sq. ft. of wetlands disturbed for the construction of an addition. The area is a wet meadow, which has been disturbed in the past. After a lengthy conversation it was the unanimous consensus of the Commission that a public hearing would not be necessary.
Appl. #02-35P - Satellite Tool Co. - 179 Commerce Way
Mr. Christohper Eseppi, PDI Engineering came before the Commission to represent this application. He explained that the site consists of 37,000-sq. ft. with a 10,007-sq. ft. building. There are no wetlands on the property being disturbed. Silt fencing will be used during construction. Drainage will go to the existing retention basin. In the rear there is proposed additional parking and a 4' retention wall, only if required by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Jeff informed the Commission that the site is a flat sandy site. The one concern is working around the gully area. Erosion and sedimentation measures should be adequate. Jeff Doolittle, Town Engineer will be looking at this plan closer when it goes before the Planning & Zoning Commission.
