A one-year extension was requested to the Site Plan Approva l that was filed with the Town Clerk on July 13, 2021. Construction had not begun due to escalating costs, shortage of skilled laborers and shortage of vehicle inventory. M. Brenner made Motion to extend the expiration date of the Site Plan Approval to J uly 23, 2023, A. Reid Seconded, passed unanimously. REQUEST FOR DE MINIMIS CHANGE: Lunenburg Central, Leominster -Shirley Road- The owner was represented by Chris Anderson, Hannigan Engineering. Two de minimis changes were requested. One to the underground storage system , which originally was an arch chamber system for stormwater detention, but due to materials delay a product modification was proposed. A concrete galley system was proposed for a replacement. The second requested change was relative to the installation of a curtain drain. During construction the site experienced significant groundwater influx from the abutting wash ponds on the Keating property. During preliminary testing , groundwater was not encountered at levels the applicant was currently seeing. Unbeknownst to the applicant there was a ditch that flowed through the property that was used as more of a relief drain. As a result of leveling of the site, the level of water in the pond started to rise. This negatively impacted the groundwater in the area. For long-term viability of the stormwater system, the applicant proposed to install a curtain drain that would run along the westerly property line to intercept any high groundwater that occurred. The sub drain would be set 3 -4 feet lower than the underground storage system. Any groundwater that was captured would be transmitted under the building to the opposite side of the site and follow the same general path as the original ditch. Both requested changes were reviewed and approved by Jeffrey Walsh, Graves Engineering, Inc. M. Brenner made Motion to approve the requested De Minimis changes for Lunenburg Central, Leominster Shirley Road, A. Reid Seconded, passed unanimously. Below Agenda items taken out of order.
