Commission continues 0 Franklin Avenue notice of intent to Oct. 15 for plan updates

The Brockton Conservation Commission continued the notice of intent for 0 Franklin Avenue to its Oct. 15 meeting and asked the applicant to submit an updated site plan and narrative addressing several staff comments before the issuance of an order of conditions.

Ken Thompson, representing the applicant, said the project is a 980-square-foot single-family home on a vacant lot near an existing wetland roughly 50–75 feet away and that zoning variances were already obtained. Agent Kyle Holden said the development is straightforward but asked the applicant to extend wetland flags around a corner of the adjacent wetland, document a large pile of fill on the rear thumb of the lot and add limit-of-work and erosion-control details to the plan. Holden also noted the lot does not require stormwater review under state law and Brockton’s local ordinance because it is a single-family dwelling.

The commission agreed to continue the public hearing to allow the applicant to submit the requested updates and to return with the revised materials on Oct. 15.
