Applicant says 2,556‑sq‑ft addition at Fletcher Hill Road will avoid wetlands; state septic permit in place
Summary
An applicant for a 2,556‑square‑foot addition at 1176 Fletcher Hill Road presented state‑approved wastewater permits and a wetlands delineation that, the applicant said, keeps the project outside a 100‑foot buffer; the board recorded the conservation commission declined to comment because the applicant did not attend that commission meeting.
The Development Review Board reviewed TDash0059, an application to add roughly 2,556 square feet to a house at 1176 Fletcher Hill Road. A contractor speaking for the applicant said engineers had delineated wetlands and that the addition would remain outside the 100‑foot wetland buffer.
The contractor noted the property has a new, state‑approved wastewater permit and said the existing septic and leach field were impacting the wetland buffer; he said the project plan relocates the septic system to eliminate that impact. The contractor told the board the addition moves the building footprint about 24 feet closer to the road but does not encroach on wetlands and that the proposed work preserves the property's historic character.
A board member asked whether the conservation commission had offered comments; the record shows the commission chose not to comment at its meeting because the applicant did not attend, and the commission reported no significant concerns. A motion to close testimony on the application carried and the board moved to deliberation.
