Summary

The commission approved demolition and reconstruction of a three-bedroom home at 28 Chipkaw Trail after staff and the floodplain manager requested clarifications on elevations, utility locations and stormwater details; the applicant said the new septic system has health-department approval.

The applicant described a plan to remove a failing cesspool and rebuild a FEMA-compliant three-bedroom home on a 0.29-acre lot at 28 Chipkaw Trail. Staff noted a revised floodplain memorandum and recommended conditions related to utility elevations, backflow prevention on the infiltration system and clarification of first-floor elevations and architectural details.

Commissioners moved to approve the CAM application with stipulations that outstanding comments be addressed to the satisfaction of the health department, floodplain manager and zoning enforcement officer; final plans must be reviewed by the zoning enforcement officer. The project was previously approved by the Inland Wetland Commission and the applicant said the new septic had health-department sign-off.

Commission approval was conditioned on the applicant addressing the technical comments; no vote tallies naming individual votes were recorded in the public transcript beyond a voice vote in favor.
