Summary
Needham Conservation Commission issued a Negative Determination of Applicability for work limited to replacement of pavers, pool interior finish and equipment at 46 Wildwood Avenue; staff found no new impervious area and the work is about 130 feet from the river.
The Needham Conservation Commission on March 27, 2025, voted to issue a Negative Determination of Applicability for work at 46 Wildwood Avenue. The applicant’s representative told the commission the proposed work is limited to replacing existing pavers around a pool, refinishing the pool interior and replacing pool equipment and skimmers; no new impervious area will be created and no trees will be removed. The representative said the work is about 130 feet from the river bank.
Staff recommended the project as a straightforward RDA because the patio work will not expand impervious surface toward the river and existing landscaping between the pool and the river will be left intact. Commissioners asked whether any public attendees had questions; staff confirmed there were no members of the public on the call.
