Summary

The commission closed a continued hearing and issued an Order of Conditions for construction of a garage/ADU and septic replacement at 14 Newton Street (applicant Jamie Falcone), accepting revised plans and mitigation including a dry well to infiltrate roof runoff.

The Southborough Conservation Commission voted to issue an Order of Conditions for work at 14 Newton Street, where the applicant, Jamie Falcone, proposes a garage that will also serve as an accessory dwelling unit and a replacement septic system.

Staff reported that the DEP file number had been issued and that revised plans shrink the driveway; mitigation includes a dry well sized to infiltrate at least one inch of runoff per roof area to address the new impervious rooftop surfaces. "We already have special conditions all typed up, memorializing everything we discussed in previous hearings," the chair said, and staff confirmed those conditions are standard and reflect earlier commission direction.

No public commenters were present. Commissioners voted to close the hearing and to issue the Order of Conditions containing the standard general conditions and the staff-drafted special conditions. Staff said it will provide final signed materials and will be available to inspect when the applicant's contractor submits permit requests.
