Commission receives application for drainage work at 43 Spring Street
Summary
The Agency received application IWWA17-2026 from Mark and Janet Taylor for drainage improvements at 43 Spring Street, a scaled-back rework of a plan approved in 2008 but never built; staff described work as dredging and reshaping a silted ditch and seeding with wetland mix.
The Inland Wetlands Agency formally received application IWWA17-2026 for drainage improvements at 43 Spring Street. The receipt was read into the record and accepted by unanimous motion.
Staff described the proposal as work to remove accumulated material within a ditch (referred to in the presentation as the blue ditch) on the property at 43 Spring Street, re-straighten the channel, and re-establish a seeded wetland swale. The current owners, Mark and Janet Taylor, requested the work to reduce standing water after storm events. Agency members noted a similar plan was approved in 2008 but never built.
No public hearing was scheduled at the time of receipt; staff indicated they would return with maps and the application will be scheduled for further review in a future meeting. The Agency did not take substantive votes on plan specifics at the receipt stage, but noted that future submittals should include final details and any necessary sediment-control measures for the work in the ditch.
