Where it stands: hearing closed October 15 but the order of conditions was deferred; the applicant agreed to extend the deadline to November 13, with discussion of conditions on November 5. Changes since the last hearing: a restoration planting plan with 25 dogwoods, two tupelo and three cypress plus a wildflower seed mix, snow storage area, and quarterly street sweeping.
Commission asks: a plan for removing invasive knotweed, making O&M recommendations (sweeping, spill kit) binding conditions, and a perpetual condition that no equipment or materials be staged on the adjacent conservation land. The owner still hopes to acquire that parcel from the town by town vote.
