DRB approves small addition to Lommel Lumber’s planing mill; water-main relocation flagged
Summary
Essex DRB approved a 30-by-50-foot addition to Lommel Lumber’s planing mill at 82B Jericho Road and accepted the applicant engineer’s plan to address a private water main under the slab; motion carried 5–0 with condition edits.
The Development Review Board approved a minor site-plan amendment June 4 for a 30-by-50-foot addition to Lommel Lumber’s planing mill at 82B Jericho Road. The applicant’s engineer said the addition is intended for storage and does not change operations in a way that would increase traffic.
Public works drew attention to a private water main running beneath the proposed slab; the applicant’s engineer said the line is privately owned and suggested relocating the service connection rather than amending state permits. The applicant offered to provide a narrative about traffic impacts as part of the building-permit review; the board accepted condition edits that remove automatic requirements for amended permits and a traffic study unless operations change.
Brian Currier, representing S & R Properties, said the addition should not change the site’s industrial activity and that any waterline work will be coordinated with the owner. The board approved the application with amended conditions and asked the applicant to supply necessary documentation with building-permit submittal.
The motion to approve, as revised, passed 5–0.
