Norton Conservation Commission Approves Solar Pergola Project on Lake Wana Property
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting, the Norton Conservation Commission issued a negative determination for a solar pergola project at a private residence on Two River Road. This decision allows the project to proceed without a formal notice of intent, provided it adheres to the submitted plans and agreed-upon conditions.
The primary discussion centered on the proposed solar pergola at a unique property on the shores of Lake Wana. The structure, intended to support a solar array, will be constructed on pier foundations with minimal environmental impact. The commission reviewed the project details, which included the installation of sediment controls to prevent any potential soil disturbance during construction. The decision to issue a negative determination means that the project can move forward without further environmental scrutiny, as long as all conditions are met.
Another notable agenda item was the ongoing restoration plan for a violation on West Main Street. The commission confirmed that the restoration efforts are on schedule, with a deadline set for early July. The property owners are working on plantings and coordinating with the Board of Health regarding septic system considerations.
The commission also discussed a pending engineering plan for a property on West Main Street. The developers are expected to submit their plan by early May, as they navigate a busy season.
