Summary

The commission agreed to let applicants start limited enabling work (utility pole, erosion controls, security fencing) at 216 New Boston Street before posting surety, while requiring that broader site work wait until surety is provided.

Commission staff said the applicants for 216 New Boston Street obtained EPA approval to perform site enabling work but had not yet secured surety. Commissioners described the enabling work as limited — installing a utility pole, erosion controls and a security fence — and agreed the request to perform those limited activities before posting surety was reasonable provided no broader earthwork occurs until the surety is submitted.

A commissioner moved to allow the enabling work prior to receipt of surety; the motion was seconded and approved. Commissioners noted the surety will still be required before more extensive site work can proceed.
