Commission approves 135 Stateful Shoe Road continuance with erosion controls, limited warranty and preconstruction oversight
Summary
The Lakeville Conservation Commission closed the continued hearing on 135 Stateful Shoe Road after the applicant supplied state and local approvals; commissioners approved conditions requiring erosion controls, no overnight stockpiling in the buffer zone, and a six-month warranty on a utility crossing.
The Lakeville Conservation Commission closed the continued hearing for 135 Stateful Shoe Road on Aug. 26 after the applicant’s engineer reported that the DEP file number had been received and local boards had granted approvals. The commission approved the project with standard conditions and a set of additional requirements related to erosion control and protection of nearby resource areas.
Engineer Jamie Dusnet of Zena Consulting Engineers told the commission the project had obtained unanimous approvals from the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Board of Health and that the DEP file number for the project had been returned. Natural Heritage review remained outstanding.
The commission’s final conditions included: - Standard conservation conditions and erosion controls with compost-filter socks in place of straw wattles. - No overnight stockpiling of uncovered or unsecured building materials in the buffer zone; any building materials entering the pond must be removed immediately. - A preconstruction meeting among town staff (Ed and Mark), the contractor and the applicant to review construction sequencing, the chosen route across a private roadway and the means to maintain access. - For the area where the project will cross an existing force main, the applicant agreed to a six-month warranty to cover any problems related to the crossing; the board of health and the applicant discussed longer-term warranties but the commission accepted the six-month arrangement. - Additional conditions from Natural Heritage, if issued, will be appended to the order of conditions.
Jamie Dusnet summarized site work already conducted and described plans to remove paved areas and some concrete to reduce lot coverage. Dusnet said the stair removal noted by commissioners would be addressed and that flowable fill would be used for backfill where required. The applicant agreed to have Ed and Mark inspect the contractor’s approach for excavation and temporary traffic management on the private road.
The motion to approve the conditions and close the hearing passed on a roll-call vote: Michelle Bouchard — yes; Nancy Yates — yes; William O'Files — no; Matthew Ferrero — yes.
Next steps: The final order of conditions will be prepared and recorded. Work cannot proceed until the required soil testing, erosion controls and preconstruction coordination are completed and the site is free of unsecured materials in the resource areas.
