242-898 Amendment to Order of Conditions-Lot 4/5 Willow Street(Channel Bldg)
This amendment request is for a location change of the transformer and its associated
containment area that will hold double the amount of oil contained within the
transformer The new location change proposes the transformer pad 30' from the wetland
boundary The commission stated that the transformer and containment area is considered
a structure and would encroach upon the 50' No Construction Zone This would require a
waiver not previously requested or granted Gregory Wiech from Channel, stated that
they should be exempt from the 50' No Construction Zone because the transformer
should be considered a utility and not a structure Beth Wescott stated that it is a
structure and needs to be kept out of the 50' No Construction Zone Greg Wiech stated
that they needed to have paved access to the transformer to meet Mass Electric standards
and to meet those standards they had to propose it in this location Beth Wescott stated
that they had not explored all possibilities and suggested that they do She stated that
they put the transformer inside the building or find a new location on site John Mabon
motioned to deny the amendment request Seconded by Deborah Feltovic Unanimous
