Commission reviews multiple wetland development applications and irrigation upgrades

The Commission will hear several continuances regarding existing applications, including an irrigation pump system replacement at Nashawtuc Country Club and two proposals for single-family dwellings and driveways at 874 Barretts Mill Road. Onyx Corp. is also seeking approval for a gazebo, fence, and driveway reconstruction at 1330 Monument Street.

New applications include resource area delineations at The Fenn School and several Requests for Determination of Applicability. These involve activities such as removing invasive plants at 987 Lowell Road, decommissioning groundwater monitoring wells at 46B & 48B Fitchburg Turnpike, and replacing support columns on a barn at 762 Lowell Road.

The meeting will conclude with a discussion regarding a violation at 150 Garfield Road and administrative approvals for various tree removal requests.
