Commission issues order of conditions for 127 Liberty St.; requires floodplain replication and invasive‑species monitoring
Summary
After technical revisions, the commission closed the NOI for 127 Liberty Street and issued an order of conditions that includes floodplain replication work and a three‑year monitoring requirement for plantings and invasive‑species management.
Engineer Frank Gallagher and staff presented revised plans and an updated invasive‑species report for 127 Liberty Street. Staff said the applicant submitted a flood study that provided a flood elevation and an increased floodplain replication area; the commission also required an invasive‑species management plan that identifies areas of Japanese knotweed and sets out treatment and monitoring protocols.
The commission voted to close the hearing and to issue an order of conditions including standard monitoring language and a three‑year monitoring program for floodplain replication and invasive‑species management. Agent Kyle said the order will require a planting report and photographic verification after construction, followed by annual monitoring reports during the monitoring period.
