Planning Commission recommends approval for Sewer Lift Station 11 site plan near Fairway and Centennial
Summary
The commission forwarded a recommendation to approve the sewer lift station site plan (Lift Station 11) located near Fairway Boulevard and Centennial Boulevard; staff described odor mitigation and below‑grade generator placement.
Saratoga Springs Planning Commission on Feb. 27 forwarded a recommendation for approval of the site plan for Sewer Lift Station 11, located near Fairway Boulevard and Centennial Boulevard.
Planning staff explained the project is largely underground on a roughly 0.28‑acre site adjacent to the golf course; the plan calls for a single above‑grade building with fencing and landscaping to blend the facility into the course. The commission was told most equipment is below grade, and landscaping will screen the fenced perimeter.
Commissioners asked about odor mitigation and noise. Staff described an odor scrubber that vents and filters air from the wet well to reduce odors, noting the system includes a fan and may produce fan noise. Commissioners also asked whether a below‑grade generator will reduce noise; staff indicated a below‑grade generator would mitigate some noise and that the site’s small size and isolation lessen the likelihood of impacts.
Commissioner Wheldon moved to forward a recommendation for approval with the staff report’s findings and conditions; Commissioner Mann seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote recorded as unanimous.
The staff report and conditions will guide the final permits and construction; further technical details on filtration, noise levels, or exact generator specifications were not provided in the commission discussion and remain part of the engineering submittals.
