Williamstown Con Comm Reviews Revised Summer Street Proposal

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Conservation Commission on Thursday reviewed a refined version of the site plan for a planned four-home subdivision off Summer Street.
 
Earlier this year, Northern Berkshire Habitat for Humanity sought and received an order of conditions from the Con Comm to build four single-family homes on the parcel currently owned by the town's Affordable Housing Trust.
 
That order was appealed by abutters to the parcel to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection, which last month received a revised set of plans from Northern Berkshire Habitat.
 
As part of its review process, the MassDEP Western Regional Office asked the Con Comm whether the new plans continue to be satisfactory to that body.
 
Essentially, the most recent set of plans specify exactly where on each home will be placed in the four building lots to be carved out of the 1.75-acre parcel. Prior iterations had more non-specific building envelopes marking where homes could be placed.
 
"Because this was appealed to the DEP, we decided we would site the houses, site the sheds, site the roads," Northern Berkshire Habitat President Keith Davis told the Con Comm. "The only difference [from the plans the Con Comm already approved] is we put rectangles in where the houses will be built."
 
Community Development Director Andrew Groff, who serves as the town's conservation agent, told the commission that, normally, such a refinement in the schematics for a project would be reviewed and approved internally by town hall staff.
