The Gardner City Planning Board approved a site plan decision for 827 Green Street after staff read a set of seven conditions the applicant must meet.

John Clifton of McCarty Engineering, representing the applicant, told the board the applicant had submitted revised plans after the previous meeting and that an email from a stakeholder accepted the changes. Planning staff told the board they had reviewed the revisions and were satisfied. The board then closed the public hearing and voted to approve the site plan with the conditions read into the record.

The staff-drafted conditions require that work be conducted strictly in accordance with plans titled "Grama Inc — 827 Green Street" (dated 09/22/2025, revised 12/03/2025), including the wetland boundaries, a 30-foot no-disturb zone, a 60-foot no-build zone, and a 100-foot wetland buffer as shown on sheets 2 and 3. The conditions further require that all stormwater management facilities be constructed and operated per the McCarty Engineering stormwater report (09/22/2025, revised 12/03/2025). Erosion and sediment controls such as silt fencing, compost socks, and straw wattles must be installed before clearing and maintained until stabilization. The operation and maintenance (O&M) plan for the stormwater system must be recorded at the registry of deeds as a covenant running with the land prior to issuance of any building permit, and no certificate of occupancy will be issued until required best management practices are installed and recorded and the city engineer confirms compliance.

John Clifton said the applicant was "amenable to those" conditions and noted a conservation agent was unavailable that day to confirm whether the board's recording requirement duplicated conservation conditions. Staff offered to reprint the decision text with any agreed edits and have the document available for signature.

The vote was taken by voice; the transcript records the motion, a second, and a vocal "Aye" approval. The transcript does not include a roll-call tally by individual member.

Next steps: the applicant will sign the site plan decision and must complete the stormwater O&M recording and construction per the conditions before receiving building permits or certificates of occupancy.
