Commission approves Town batting cage at 20 Wolf Pit Road with erosion-control stipulation
Summary
The Town of Farmington Conservation Commission approved a 70-by-15-foot batting cage for little-league and high-school use at 20 Wolf Pit Road, conditioning approval on erosion-control measures to be reviewed and approved by town staff; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Town of Farmington Conservation Commission approved an application from the Town of Farmington Recreation Department to install a 70-by-15-foot batting cage at 20 Wolf Pit Road, conditioning the approval on erosion-control measures that must be approved by town staff.
Jesse, representing the Recreation Department, told the commission they planned a batting cage set on small in-ground poles in a corner of the property, with approximately 2 inches of soil removed and a crushed-stone base. "We're applying to put in the batting cage for little league and high school use," Jesse said.
Town staff recommended including erosion-control measures as part of any approval. Bruce, speaking for staff, said the only staff comments concerned erosion control and proposed a condition requiring final erosion-control plans be approved by staff before installation.
Chair moved approval with that condition; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The meeting record did not include a roll-call tally. Staff will oversee the erosion-control plan review and advise the Recreation Department on implementation.
Next steps: the Recreation Department may proceed with final design and installation after staff signs off on erosion-control measures. The commission did not record a formal roll-call vote tally in the transcript.
