Order of conditions issued for dentist office at 532 Lowell Street; stormwater changes required

Attorney John Kelke and Engineering Alliance’s Rick Salvo presented a notice of intent for redevelopment of 532 Lowell Street into a dental office, describing stormwater upgrades including roof infiltration and a CDS water-quality unit and a new deep-sump catch basin. Staff and Horsley Witten reviewed calculations and requested a few design tweaks; the applicants said the changes were largely conservative and did not increase post-development flows to adjacent wetlands.

The commission voted to issue an order of conditions with standard protections and project-specific items: revise pavement/trench details to avoid recycled asphalt where recharge or full-depth sections are required, mark a protected birch tree to avoid disturbance, and include DPS and site-plan review closeout memos as part of conditions. The applicant accepted those items; the motion to issue the order of conditions passed 7–0.
