Town orders fixes after Big Sky parking-lot work diverged from approved plan; aquifer protections required
Summary
Staff told the commission that construction at Big Sky (Brickyard Road) deviated from the approved site plan: end-island grading, sidewalk location and electrical work differed and new light poles were installed. Because the site is in a sand-and-gravel aquifer, the applicant must confirm yard drains are not open-bottom dry wells, provide video of pipes, submit revised water-quality calculations and an as-built survey, or face violation notices and fines.
Planning staff reported that contractor work at Big Sky parking improvements diverged from the approved site plan and triggered additional oversight because the site lies in a sand-and-gravel aquifer area. Staff described the issues: end islands originally intended for at-grade water-quality storage were built differently; a planned kidney-shaped basin was not implemented; sidewalks shifted from the intended alignment; and an electrician installed light poles that were not shown on the plan.
