Commission approves garage addition at 54 Rockdale Court after floodplain check
Summary
The Conservation Commission approved Application 2026-11 for a 16x20 garage addition at 54 Rockdale Court after town engineering verified the addition is not in the mapped floodplain (based on 1980 maps) though state maps are being updated.
Jeffrey Miko, the applicant and owner of 54 Rockdale Avenue, presented Application 2026-11 for a 16-by-20-foot addition to an existing garage and noted this was a resubmission of a matter heard last month. Town engineering reported that on the 1980 flood maps the addition is not located in the floodplain, but that the state is currently updating flood maps. The engineer described the current maps as 46 years old and said the commission’s review is based on the maps in force today.
After brief discussion the commission moved to approve application 2026-11. The chair instructed the applicant to proceed with required permit steps and said the town will continue to rely on current mapping until the state’s updated flood maps are published.
