Shapleigh board tables Tyler Matthews garage request over stormwater, revegetation details
Summary
The board tabled the conditional-use application for Tyler Matthewss proposed garage in the Shoreland District, citing outstanding stormwater and revegetation specifics (rain garden sizes, mulch depth, stone trench specs) and requested revised plans for the next meeting.
The Shapleigh Planning Board tabled a conditional-use application for a proposed garage for Tyler Matthews after members identified outstanding stormwater and revegetation items the applicant must supply. Chair (speaker 2) summarized ordinance standards and asked for additional details the board had requested at an earlier meeting.
Neighbor Don Moore raised concerns about the scale of earth-moving, saying an earlier estimate of "50 dump trucks" would mean "50 times 18 is 900 yards of material," and asked where excavated material would be moved. Board members responded that stormwater best-management practices (BMPs), plantings and a detailed erosion-control specification are required before the board could finalize approval.
The board specifically asked for the applicant to: specify rain-garden dimensions and planting counts, indicate depth and extent of erosion mulch, detail size and extent of stone drip-line trenches, and provide confirmation from the site evaluator regarding any subsurface wastewater system modifications. Chair moved to table the matter to the next meeting to allow submission of the revised stormwater and revegetation plan.
