Reception and Possible Consideration

Reception and Possible Consideration Engineer Todd Parsons of Haley Ward Engineering and Bob Stair of Great Falls Construction presented the application. Mr. Parsons presented the Site Plan and explained the property is located on the west side of Washinee Heights Road with a pre-existing dwelling, garage and barn. He explained the Applicant proposed a deck and addition on the north side of the dwelling. A septic system would be disrupted during construction with reinstallation proposed further uphill on the property outside of the Lake Protection Overlay District (LPOD). Mr. Parsons explained construction activity was proposed within the LPOD outside of the wetlands upland review area, open space, and beyond the ordinary high-water line. A new water softening treatment system and rain garden was proposed, accompanied by an erosion control plan. Impervious property coverage would increase from 8 percent to 9.1 percent. Written permission from a neighbor was received for temporary construction access through their property. This was necessary to avoid driving over the newly installed septic system. He added a construction fence would be installed on either side of the property. Approval was received from Torrington Area Health District (TAHD).
