Commission approves small addition at 128 Great Plain Road with added condition
Summary
The Danbury Environmental Impact Commission approved a roughly 20-by-30-foot addition at 128 Great Plain Road, adding a condition requiring final construction drawings be submitted before work begins.
Ralph Gallagher, a licensed professional engineer representing the applicant, described plans for a small addition at 128 Great Plain Road and answered commission questions about septic requirements.
The commission approved regulated-activity application 1248128 with nine conditions, including an additional condition requested by staff that requires submission of final construction drawings prior to the start of construction. Gallagher said the site is “about a little bit more than an acre” and that the proposal is “a simple small addition” with sediment controls planned along the street. (Ralph Gallagher, licensed professional engineer)
A commissioner asked whether the project added a bedroom and whether a septic upgrade was required. Gallagher replied that “there will be no addition to the bedroom” now, and explained that the public health code allows future bedroom additions so long as a B100 plan demonstrates a future septic system can meet regulations and not exceed 150% of existing flow.

Staff member Larry Lieberman told the commission he prepared a staff report to move the application forward and requested a new condition (number 9) requiring full construction drawings before construction starts. The commission moved to approve the application with the staff’s nine conditions and approved it by voice vote. (Larry Lieberman, staff member)
The approval authorizes the applicant to proceed under the listed conditions; the transcript does not record a roll-call tally or individual vote numbers.
