On September 20, 2011, the applicant requested a waiver of the Watershed Protection District

allow the construction of a 4’ X 22 ft. extension to the western side of an existing dwelling unit
and a 35’ X 18.5’ addition on the southern side of the same dwelling unit. The new construction
is located more than 100’ from a delineated wetland resource area within the Non-Disturbance
buffer zone of the Watershed Protection District.

After a Planning Board meeting on the above date, and upon a motion by X and 2 by X a vote
unanimousin
was taken with regard to a waiver of the Watershed Special Permit. The vote was
favor
of the waiver. John Simons recused himself from the discussion and the vote.
FINDING OF FACT
The Planning Board has made its decision based on the following findings:
The extension and the addition are located within the non-disturbance zone and are more
than 100 ft. from a delineated wetland.
The grading on the existing lot is such that stormwater runoff drains to an existing swale
on the property and does not drain to the closest wetland area, located on the opposite
side of Dale Street.
CONDITIONS
The applicant will install underground stormwater structures to capture runoff from the
extension and addition.
The applicant will install the appropriate erosion control prior to construction, which will
be inspected by the Town Planner prior to the start of construction.
