Summary

The commission voted to issue a certificate of compliance for 227 Hamilton Place after an inspection found only minor deviations, and approved a minor modification at 120 Wildwood Drive (foundation/footing elevation changes and relocated infiltration chambers) with no changes to the approved limit of work or total chamber count.

The Conservation Commission inspected 227 Hamilton Place and, after confirming that deviations were minor and that required plantings and erosion controls were complete, voted to issue a certificate of compliance. Staff noted one removed tree left as a snag and a small planted area carved into the driveway that did not change impervious calculations.

At 120 Wildwood Drive the applicant requested a minor modification after geotechnical testing recommended raising the bottom of footing elevations and relocating infiltration chambers. The engineer explained test pits found groundwater in the originally planned infiltration location and the stormwater chambers were reconfigured and moved to a tested area; the applicant said the house elevation was raised by roughly 1–3 feet on portions of the plan and the limit of work and total chamber count remain as previously approved. The commission approved the minor modification by roll call.
