Neighbors press board on occupancy, wells and construction sequencing
Summary
Multiple residents questioned apparent increases in fixtures and occupancy, sought draw‑down testing to protect wells, and asked about access during construction; the board recorded the requests and required follow‑ups from the applicant before the continued hearing.
During public comment neighbors raised multiple specific concerns about the Quarry House project. Guita Martorana asked why plan sheets show higher impervious coverage and noted apparent increases in sinks and toilets; she also raised concerns that added closets and dressing rooms could imply higher occupancy than the applicant’s stated cap. Martorana said: “It appears 9 more sinks and 4 more toilets have been added since the 2023 approvals.”
Other residents asked about construction staging and potential impacts on private wells. Joel Coyne requested draw‑down testing to ensure a fractured aquifer or other ground‑water conditions would not harm nearby wells, and Harry Gordon queried how residents would access Old River Road during improvements. The board recorded those concerns and directed the applicant to provide clarifying documentation for review at the continued hearing.
