Commission to review several new land use and wetland protection applications

The Commission will hear multiple continuances and new applications regarding construction and environmental management within protected resource areas. Key discussions include two requests from 874 Barretts Mill Road LLC to build single-family homes and driveways near vegetated wetlands, and a proposal from Lax at 261 Park Lane to stabilize an eroding bank and add stone steps near the Assabet River.

New applications include Onyx Corp.'s plan for a deck, gazebo, and heated cobblestone driveway at 1330 Monument Street, and a request from Soltes at 287 Westford Road to implement an aquatic management plan using herbicides and algaecides to control algae and invasive species. Other items involve tree removals, decommissioning monitoring wells, and after-the-fact approvals for invasive species removal.
