The long-awaited repairs to Long Wharf at Shipyard Park received conditioning on this night, December 22.
Coming before the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission remotely was Brian Post of Childs Engineering. The issue of flowable fill had previously been questioned by the commissioners, who pressed the engineering firm to come up with another solution. The Mattapoisett Marine Advisory Board has also been instrumental in working with Childs through many technical matters, and the type of fill to use has been a major issue. All agreed that pea-stone mix is a better material to use. Cost estimates can now be firmed up, as this piece of the construction puzzle has been locked in.
A draft of conditions will be prepared by the conservation agent and forwarded to the Childs team.
Continued were Notice of Intent applications filed by Nepo Reality LLC, Ned’s Point Road, Lot 103 and Lot 104 for the construction of single-family homes.
Also continued until January 12 was a Notice of Intent filed by Deborah Chapman living trust, 0 Nashawena Road, for the reconstruction of a single-family home but not without considerable discussion. Abutters voiced concern over stormwater drainage. David Davignon of Schneider, Davignon & Leone, Inc. was asked to provide additional details on the possible installation of a swale to assist in water control.
The commission also granted a continuation until January 12 for a Notice of Intent filed by the town for the repair and reconstruction of the culvert located on Water Street.
Receiving a green light in terms of moving forward was a Notice of intent filed by Derek and Kylene Gregoire, 2 Goodspeed Island Road, for the construction of a single-family home.
The next meeting of the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission is scheduled for Monday, January 12.
