IWA grants jurisdictional ruling for inground pool at 59 Ardmore Road after city engineer review
Summary
The agency granted a jurisdictional ruling for IW250057, a 16×32 pool at 59 Ardmore Rd; applicant said excavation material will be removed off‑site and noted prior consultation with the city engineer, who raised no objections.
The Milford Inlands Wetlands Agency issued a jurisdictional ruling Nov. 5 for application IW250057, a proposed 16×32 inground pool and associated grading at 59 Ardmore Road. The applicant told the agency that excavated material will be removed off‑site except for a small amount reserved for leveling, and said he had discussed the plan with the city engineer who reported no concerns.
Why it mattered: Tumble Brook and an associated drainage easement run near the property; staff explained the proposed pool location is outside the floodway and that the pool’s rear slope would be stabilized with vegetation or modified riprap. Because the drainage easement and culvert in the area have a history of overland flow in very large storms, the agency recommended the applicant follow erosion‑control practices and coordinate with the city engineer.
Outcome: The agency voted to issue a jurisdictional ruling; the applicant may proceed with required erosion and sediment controls and follow any remaining city engineer recommendations.
