Rockville panel accepts floodplain report and authorizes reduced setback for 115 S. Bridal Road
Summary
The Rockville Planning Commission accepted a professional floodplain and hydrological engineering report for 115 South Bridal Road and approved a reduced custom setback contingent on following elevation recommendations and final inspections.
The Rockville Planning Commission voted to accept a professional floodplain and hydrological engineering report for 115 South Bridal Road and to authorize a reduced custom building setback matching the report’s designated safe building envelope, contingent on strict adherence to elevation recommendations and completion of final building inspections.
Chair introduced the permit item and said the applicant, who has obtained a floodplain permit and mitigation measures, presented evidence that the proposed construction would be above the flood plain and within a safe envelope. The commission’s motion authorizes a reduced setback where the specialized report demonstrates a safe building envelope and makes final permit issuance contingent on compliance with the report’s elevation and inspection requirements.
Commissioner discussion noted that once permit fees are paid and final inspections are completed, the town will issue the permit. The motion to accept the report was seconded and approved by roll call.
The acceptance does not waive final inspections or elevation requirements, and the commission emphasized strict adherence to the report’s recommendations as a condition of permit approval.
