The Foxborough Conservation Commission on June 8 closed the public hearing and issued a standard order of conditions for a septic upgrade at 3 Windsor Drive (D157673).
David Clard of Cullen Civil Engineering Group described the project as a replacement for a failed septic system. Clard said the proposed installation will be "almost completely outside the 100 foot buffer" but inside the 200-foot riparian area, and that siltation fences and driveway protections will be used to limit construction impacts. He told the commission the system will abandon the existing tank, install two tanks in series with a pump and use a pipe-and-stone leach field designed to fit into the existing slope without mounding.
Clard said the wetland boundary was delineated by Brook Monroe, a botanist, and noted the subdivision and house predate the riverfront-area provisions: "the subdivision was done back in '87 and the house was built I believe in '88," he said, and added that replacing a failed system is an environmental improvement.
Commission members and an onsite reviewer said they visited the property and had no objections. One commissioner commented that replacing a failed system is beneficial, and the Board of Health had reviewed and approved the design without requesting waivers, according to the presentation.
The commission voted to close the hearing and then to issue a standard order of conditions for the project (D157673). No opposed votes were recorded in the transcript for those motions.
The commission's public notice for the hearing cited Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 131, Section 40 (Wetlands Protection Act) and the Fox Wetlands Protection bylaw, Chapter 267. The application is available for public inspection in the conservation office at Town Hall and on the statewide public-notices site noted in the notice.
The order of conditions requires the applicant to comply with the standard conditions the commission applies to projects near wetland resource areas; the transcript does not record specific special conditions beyond standard erosion and sediment controls.
