Planning board requests drainage analysis as impervious area may increase
Summary
Board members asked the applicant to provide drainage calculations and impervious-surface statistics after reviewing the proposed 22‑unit building and lot consolidation; staff said redevelopment stormwater guidance applies even though the site is under one acre.
Board members asked whether the proposed building and consolidated lots increase impervious surface and whether the project could improve stormwater handling. Alex Amaring acknowledged there may be an increase in impervious area, said the concept plan connects to existing drainage, and agreed that a drainage analysis is warranted prior to final approval.
Staff reminded the board that redevelopment rules apply for stormwater even at sites under one acre and urged the applicant to provide impervious statistics and drainage calculations so the town engineer and staff can evaluate whether the proposal exacerbates downstream runoff.
