Hearing for 331 Plains Street continued after commission flags unpermitted site work and knotweed
Summary
The Brockton Conservation Commission continued a Notice of Intent for 331 Plains Street to Aug. 19 after staff identified previously unpermitted site work and asked the applicant to provide a revised site plan and an invasive‑species management plan targeting Japanese knotweed.
The commission continued the public hearing for a pending Notice of Intent at 331 Plains Street to the August 19 meeting so staff and the applicant can finalize plans and invasive‑species controls. The conservation agent told the panel that work done before permitting included a basketball court and a patio that may be jurisdictional under the Wetlands Protection Act and asked the applicant to retroactively include that work in the filing.
The agent also asked for a compensatory‑storage revision and an invasive‑species management plan focusing on knotweed, which dominates the site. The applicant (identified in the record as Azu) and the agent agreed the commission will re‑review the updated plan at the next meeting. "The invasive species management plan is really just going to work on managing the knotweed in the area that we're going to be excavating for the compensatory storage," the agent said during discussion. The hearing remains open and will resume Aug. 19.
