Hearing closed on parking-lot reclamation at 538 Clark St.; applicant to repave and add short driveway section
Summary
The commission closed a public hearing on a Notice of Termination/Applicability filed by Rosario Paving for reclamation and repaving of a parking lot at 538 Clark Street; the applicant said most paving is done and proposed a short driveway extension and striping corrections.
The Gardner Conservation Commission closed a public hearing on a Notice of Termination/Applicability filed by Rosario Paving Corporation on behalf of an applicant at 538 Clark Street (map H32-4-19) for full reclamation, repaving, and minor expansion of a parking area.
Eric Storm, who identified himself as president of the Garrett Efficient Gun Club and appeared on behalf of the site, told the commission that most of the paving work is already complete and that the proposal calls for reclaiming and repaving the existing parking area and adding a short driveway-sized strip that would run along the back of the building. He said the addition would be between about 20 and 60 feet long, intended to improve drainage and reduce winter ice accumulation in front of a dumpster.
Storm described plans to reline parking spaces, add handicap markings, and install a gate near the end of the paving area after repaving and grading. He said improving the profile and drainage should reduce winter icing and make plowing more effective.
Commission members who visited the site noted the additional paving would be roughly 65 feet at one measured point. Staff and the applicant discussed the location relative to nearby access roads; Storm clarified that the “Solar Field Road” is the unnamed access drive to the solar field, and that “Beagle Club Road” is a different nearby road that does not run through the applicant's property.
After discussion, Chair moved to close the hearing; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
No formal enforcement conditions or vote on the Notice of Termination/Applicability record were made at the meeting; staff indicated they would prepare an issue or determination promptly, and the applicant said they hoped to complete paving work before the asphalt plant closure in early November if scheduling allowed.
