Developer asks to continue pool proposal at Saltworks Road until plans show septic and buffer details
Summary
Strongtree Engineering presented a saltwater pool proposal for 275 Saltworks Road; commissioners said the site plan lacks tree counts, buffer stakings, limit‑of‑work markings and details for filling the pool during drought, and continued the hearing to August 11 with a request to submit updated plans the week prior.
The commission considered a Notice of Intent for a proposed saltwater pool at 275 Saltworks Road. Chris Lutazi of Strongtree Engineering explained siting decisions and mitigation calculations; he said the footprint was dictated by setbacks (leach field) and that the design uses pervious materials and compact access to reduce disturbance.
Commissioners repeatedly asked for clearer site staking, a marked limit of work, tree counts and the exact leach field location. Concerns about drought and how the pool would be filled were raised; staff noted regulations govern filling and that applicants should document their intended approach (town water or trucking). The commission voted to continue the hearing to August 11 and requested submission of revised plans the week prior.
