Summary
The Needham Conservation Commission continued the Notice of Intent hearing for 11 Glover Road to April 10, 2025, after staff and the town engineer concluded the submitted driveway infiltration design did not meet stormwater requirements and the applicant said it will redesign using dry wells.
The Needham Conservation Commission continued a Notice of Intent hearing for 11 Glover Road to April 10, 2025, after staff and the town engineer reviewed the project's unique driveway infiltration approach and determined the submitted design did not meet the stormwater bylaw standards. Staff told commissioners the applicant's representative has said the team will redo the infiltration design and install dry wells to infiltrate runoff from the entire site.
Why it matters: the town engineer reviews stormwater compliance for building-department filings; an infiltration approach that does not meet the stormwater bylaw cannot be approved without revision. The applicant told staff the updated design would not be ready in time for the March 27 meeting, so the hearing was continued to allow submission of the revised plans.
Formal action - Motion to continue the continued Notice of Intent for 11 Glover Road to April 10, 2025. Mover/second: not specified. Vote: unanimous roll-call "aye." Outcome: hearing continued to 04/10/2025.
Discussion points Staff related that the town engineer reviewed the driveway infiltration approach and concluded it did not comply with stormwater requirements. The applicant will redesign using dry wells to infiltrate the site; staff and the commission agreed to continue the hearing to allow the applicant to submit revised plans.
Ending: The hearing was continued to the commission’s April 10, 2025 meeting.
