Open Space Committee suggests landscaping, wetland protections for 10 Harding Street proposal
Summary
Committee reviewed a small commercial/industrial proposal at 10 Harding (formerly Lakeville Nursery) and advised planning board to protect wetlands, add native perimeter landscaping and limit runoff near Spring Brook.
The Open Space Committee reviewed a Planning Board referral for a proposed development at 10 Harding Street (site of the former Lakeville Nursery) and offered brief, site‑specific suggestions for minimizing environmental impacts.
Committee members said the parcel is in a developing commercial area off Route 44 and asked the Planning Board to ensure the proposal avoids nearby wetlands and Spring Brook, to require native plant perimeter landscaping and to control stormwater and debris so materials and trash do not enter local streams.
The applicant’s concept includes an operation and yard area for asphalt reclamation and material handling, and committee members recommended the Planning Board coordinate with the Conservation Commission to identify any cold‑water resources or other protected features before permitting work that affects grading or drainage. The committee did not take a formal vote but asked staff to forward the committee’s written suggestions to the Planning Board.
