Commission approves reconstruction at 602 East Wakefield with $2,000 bond and engineering conditions

The commission unanimously approved IWWC 25-16, a plan by applicant Matthew Maloney to remove and reconstruct a home at 602 East Wakefield Boulevard, subject to standard conditions and a $2,000 performance bond. The applicant’s consultant said the rain garden and footing drains had been added to the revised plan and sized for the state guidance; staff and commissioners asked that the detailed calculations and erosion-control narrative be filed.

Project details presented by the applicant’s project manager included a revised site layout that reduced impervious coverage, added interior footing drains and a sized rain garden to treat the first 1.03 inches of rainfall consistent with the state guidance the applicant cited. Commissioners and staff discussed contractor logistics, erosion-control sequencing, and traffic/track-out mitigation during excavation; the commission conditioned approval on a bond and standard erosion-control inspections.

The motion to approve included the $2,000 bond and standard permit conditions. The permit record will include the erosion-control narrative and the applicant’s infiltration/footing-drain calculations; staff will monitor implementation during construction.
