At its Tuesday night meeting, the Conservation Commission approved area resource delineations for 188 and 190 Fruit Street after the applicant explained that an intermittent stream was found running through the property upon it being surveyed.

Fred King, a wetlands supervisor for surveying and engineering firm DGT Associates, spoke on behalf of Richard Vallarelli, a real estate developer at J & Company. King said that Vallarelli represented the applicant, Rebel Hill.

King explained that the two lots under consideration were undeveloped lots on the golf course property created in 2004. The lots are 1.4 acres and 2.2 acres, respectively. A wetland delineation had been determined in April of last year. King noted that there is a potential vernal pool on the property as well as a potential vernal pool on the property across the road owned by the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR).

“They are not official yet, but they recommended that we have them evaluated,” he said, adding that both qualify as certifiable, which caused the plans for the 125-foot buffer zone to be altered.

“We originally didn’t find that intermittent stream that was off the site,” King continued. “It’s an intermittent runoff that comes down from the golf course.”

Joe Orzel, a wetlands specialist from Lucas Environmental, said he agreed with the adjustments that were made to the plan.

Kim Ciaramicoli, the town’s conservation administrator, noted that now that the buffer zone for the wetland has been properly delineated, it would have to be taken into consideration if any development were to occur. King agreed with that condition.
