Board places conditions on shorefront, steep‑slope stormwater permit for South Shore Road property

Board members reported on a site walk for PB2026‑008, a stormwater conditional‑use permit application in the shorefront/steep‑slope conservation area on South Shore Road. The reviewing staff described an older cottage with a poor foundation on a lot with steep slopes; members agreed on standard mitigation and monitoring conditions, and required that the applicant obtain any state shoreland permit before moving forward.

Conditions the board discussed and included in its approval motion included conservation best‑management practices, a covenant filed with the registry to secure town inspection and access rights, a final engineering inspection of stormwater controls, and an annual operation and maintenance log submitted by Dec. 1. The board also asked for plantings to stabilize the western portion of the lot’s slope and made receipt of the shoreland permit a condition of approval.
