Norwood commission approves order of conditions for Lot 9 Sumner Street after resident flooding concerns
Summary
After resident testimony about worsening yard flooding, the Town of Norwood Conservation Commission approved an order of conditions for a single-family project at Lot 9 Sumner Street. The decision includes planting, permanent wetland markers and ongoing restrictions on fertilizer and snow storage.
The Town of Norwood Conservation Commission voted to issue an order of conditions for a proposed single-family residence at Lot 9, Sumner Street (DEP 251-0574), approving mitigation measures after public concerns about neighborhood flooding.
The commission’s approval follows a presentation by Matt Smith, an engineer with Nolan Engineering Company, who said the house and pavement were placed outside the 100-foot buffer and the 200-foot river zone and that the developed portion of the lot would be regraded so stormwater flows toward Sumner Street. “We moved all of the structure and the pavement out of the 100 foot buffer zone and 200 foot river zone,” Smith told the commission.
