Board presses for refuse controls and agrees green‑roof may count toward landscaping at 193–195 Main Street
Summary
Applicant for a six‑unit project updated the board on refuse operations (weekly residential, twice‑weekly restaurant pickup) and added a green roof to meet landscaping requirements. The board asked for hours limits, a one‑year operational review after CO, and clarified how green roofs may be counted toward the CMS 10% landscape requirement.
At the 193–195 Main Street continued review, the applicant updated the board on refuse and recycling management: a hauler (Royal Karting) confirmed it can maneuver on site, will back into the driveway when feasible and avoid leaving bins on Cliff Street. Residential refuse was described as weekly pickup with restaurant refuse twice weekly. The applicant added green roof areas and revised landscaping so the application would meet the CMS 10% landscape requirement if the board accepts green roofs as landscaped area in this context.
Board members asked that refuse pickup hours avoid school drop‑off times on Cliff Street and that the board retain the authority to require a one‑year post‑CO operational report on refuse collection and verified‑complaint triggers to accelerate review if problems arise. Engineering staff requested soil testing for the green roof system and a stormwater maintenance and easement agreement.
