Conner Service Product outlines stormwater fixes; commission presses for no rock salt and monitoring
Summary
Conner Service Product presented stormwater improvements and an invasive‑species mitigation plan for 17 Presidential Way; commissioners asked for no rock salt, alternatives to anticoagulant rodenticides and monthly pest‑control reports, and accepted additional time to issue an order of conditions.
At the June 27 meeting Conner Service Product Corporation (17 Presidential Way) presented revised site plans, a stormwater response package, and an invasive-species mitigation plan. Matt Connors (Hancock Associates) reported that the applicant had added no‑dumping signs, removed accumulated grass clippings from the site, and expanded erosion-control measures including bark‑chip filter socks.
Commissioners and staff reviewed test-pit results and infiltration-basin design. Connors said a hand-dug test pit at the bottom of the proposed basin reached groundwater at about 32 inches below the bottom of the basin, which the engineer said met local standards though one commissioner expressed skepticism about the limited depth of that single manual test. Commissioners asked for another confirmatory test pit and suggested that could be made an order-of-condition if the commission grants the permit.
Operational concerns dominated the exchange: commissioners asked the owner to avoid rock salt for deicing when possible and to consider alternatives to anticoagulant rodenticides. The applicant said their plowing contractor typically uses sand and that the product previously identified contains bromadiolone; commissioners recommended non-anticoagulant options such as vitamin D3 or dry ice/CO2 treatments and requested monthly reports from the pest-control contractor. The applicant agreed to include a pest-control O&M plan and monthly reporting and to provide the requested documents.
Commissioners moved to close the hearing and to grant the commission additional time to issue an order of conditions (21‑day deadline extension was discussed, with August 2 cited as an issuance target). The commission recorded conditions the applicant would be expected to meet in the order (no rock salt, restrictions on anticoagulant rodenticides, and monthly maintenance reports) and closed the public hearing.
Next steps: applicant to provide confirmatory test-pit data if required, supply monthly pest-control reports and submit any requested paperwork so staff can prepare the order of conditions.
