Middletown wetlands agency: permits granted for two subdivisions, pond remediation approved; warehouse proposal accepted for July review
Summary
At its June meeting the agency approved resubdivision W2025‑4 (44 Chamberlain Hill) and accepted a warehouse application (W2025‑5) for review in July; it also approved the pond remediation permit W2025‑1 and closed other routine business including minutes and enforcement follow‑up.
Beyond the major items on the agenda, the Middletown Inland Wetland and Watercourse Agency handled several routine and procedural matters.
- 44 Chamberlain Hill (W2025‑4): The agency granted a two‑lot resubdivision permit for an 11.59‑acre parcel with the standard conditions and required Lots 1 and 2 to return for individual site plan approval before any building activity. The wetland delineation on file was prepared by Richard Snarski (11/13/2024). The motion passed with some commissioners abstaining.
- 175 Industrial Park Road (W2025‑5): The commission accepted for formal review a proposal to add a 2,800‑square‑foot warehouse that intrudes slightly into the 100‑foot upland review area. Frank Magnotta, consulting engineer for the applicant, described existing pavement, stormwater connections and a small remediation area; the application was scheduled for the July meeting for full review.
- Enforcement and communications: Staff reported they will pursue further action on a notice of violation at 350 Randolph Road and asked commissioners to submit any comments on a state‑led Highland Pond dam removal project. The agency noted it has limited jurisdiction over state projects but may file comments.
- Minutes and routine business: The commission approved minutes from May 7 and moved other standard administrative matters.
