of 9112/17;Approved Plan from 2003; Structure Letter of 1112118 from Attorney Henderson
This is a modified version of a prior application from 2003 that was approved by the Conservation
Commission. There is a foundation already in place. The new plan reduces the footprint by 1200 sq. ft. and
eliminates a terrace area to the rear. Porous pavement will be used to create additional parking. John
Cavanaro said existing conditions will be used to limit runoff into Straits Pond.All the water that comes off
the church and abutting property currently works its way into Straits Pond so the existing conditions would
need to be maintained but not improved.Any new roof runoff will be clean water. Chair Pimpare stated that
Straits Pond is an ACEC (Area of Critical Environmental Concern) and the proposed work is within 100 feet
of Straits Pond so It would take 'rare and unusual' circumstance to allow work within the buffer zone.
