Norwood Conservation Commission issues long-pending certificate of compliance for 206 Dean Street (Cary Place)
Summary
The Conservation Commission voted unanimously Jan. 28 to issue a full local certificate of compliance for the Cary Place/206 Dean Street project after staff confirmed prior site reviews and a Commonwealth certificate; the applicant provided historical records and photos.
The Town of Norwood Conservation Commission voted unanimously Jan. 28 to issue a certificate of compliance for the Cary Place development at 206 Dean Street, closing a matter that dates to the 1980s.
Dan Kalenda, representing the Montagnetti family, told the commission the project was initiated by earlier developers in 1983 and that his clients purchased and developed three lots in 1986. Kalenda said a partial certificate of compliance appears on the commission’s record from 1997 after site inspections and that he has supplied photos and archival plans to the commission. “My request is for the issuance of a certificate of compliance for this project,” Kalenda said.
Carly, the town conservation agent, noted the commission’s files include an as-built plan from 1985 and meeting notes indicating that a site check found the remaining items — specifically catch-basin covers — had been completed. Carly also said the Commonwealth (DEP) had issued a certificate of compliance on the project, but the commission’s local files lacked a full, final local certificate. “We do have an as built plan from 1985 in our files,” she said, adding that minutes from January 1997 recorded that the outstanding items had been completed.
Commissioner Kalenda moved to issue a certificate of compliance “to close out the project”; the motion was seconded and carried on an aye vote by Kelsey Quinlan, Catherine Walsh and John Carbone. After the vote the applicant confirmed they would provide site photographs for the commission’s records.
Why it matters: A local certificate of compliance confirms that the conditions tied to the commission’s order have been met and closes the commission’s regulatory file. In this case, staff cited both historic as-built plans and a Commonwealth-level certificate as supporting documentation. The commission recorded no further follow-up tasks for this specific item.
The commission’s action formally removes lingering uncertainty about the local status of the 206 Dean Street/Cary Place project; staff will retain the applicant’s photos in the project file.
