The Hamden Planning Board approved a major site plan and conditional use for a multifamily development on Carmel Road North (Tax Map Lot 01-0-025-B). The applicant presented final septic, drainage and contour plans and staff found submission requirements met.

The Hamden Planning Board approved the major site plan, conditional use, and major subdivision plan for a multifamily development on Carmel Road North (Tax Map Lot 01-0-025-B) during its April 8 meeting.

Jim Kaiser, who identified himself as representing residential roofers and who presented the application, told the board the submission included final septic designs, drainage calculations requested by the town engineer, DOT entrance permits and a contour map showing grade lines and buffers around the property. Kaiser said wetlands bisect the site but that the total wetland impact is under 0.1 acre and ‘‘no further DEP permitting is required for that.’’ Staff confirmed the application met the submission requirements for subdivision, site plan and conditional use review.

Board members questioned stormwater measures and the applicant explained a basin, redirected pipes and level spreaders intended to ‘‘dissipate it back into the wetlands’’ and reduce runoff toward abutting properties. After brief discussion the board moved, conducted a roll-call vote and approved the plan; the applicant brought plans to sign at the meeting.

The planning board’s approval was for the major site plan as presented; final inspections, any conditions listed by town staff and required permits remain in place before issuance of final approvals or certificates of occupancy.
