Russo, PLA, Assistant Planner Date: 9/2/25 Re: Appl #25-36P, Uccello Fine Homes 1580 Main Street Planning Review Comments The following are the Planning Department comments. Building Department comments are attached. Engineering comments will be provided under separate cover. Please make the necessary revisions and submit three COMPLETE sets of full-size revised plans and 10 sets of 11”x17” plans no later than 9/23/25 to be sent out with the agenda (tentatively scheduled for 9/30/25). Site Plan Comments 1. Plot Plan a. The upland review area for regulated wetlands was modified to 100’ as of February 2023, and as a result, some grading and the proposed footing drain are shown within the upland review area. Prior to action from the Planning & Zoning Commission, a minimal impact application shall be prepared for Town staff review. b. Proposed landscaping is shown on the northerly property boundary along the new access area. Based on existing site conditions, it appears that the landscaping would be more beneficial on the opposite side to act as a screen for the existing residence (1576 Main Street). Please relocate accordingly. c. Some of the plant selection in the access area is not appropriate. Rhododendron maximum and Kalmia latifolia are woodland plants that require dappled to full shade. This location will receive full sun for at least 6 hours a day, if not more. Please swap for Juniperus virginiana and Ilex glabra ‘Densa’ (or similar cultivar). For future reference, the specific epithet of binomial names is not capitalized. d. Alternate the placement of Juniperus virginiana, Thuja occidentalis, and Ilex glabra ‘Densa’ to provide variation and visual interest. Ensure all plants will receive adequate sun. e. To remain consistent with the grading & planting plan of the interior lot approval from 2012, the 3:1 slope northeasterly of the proposed house should be planted with a mix of northeastern USA native evergreen and deciduous trees similar to what is found in proximity to the site. If Pinus strobus is to be proposed, ensure there will be enough space for them to grow. f. The future pool shown on the plans shall be removed. After approval of the site plan modification, a separate building permit will be required for the permitting of the pool. g. The plans appear to show tree clearing within the Town right-of-way. This work shall be coordinated with Marco Mucciacciaro, Tree Warden. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The attached plans have been revised to address the comments. In addition, a discussion of each of the comments received are provided below: Assistant Planner Comments: a. The upland review area for regulated wetlands was modified to 100’ as of February 2023, and as a result, some grading and the proposed footing drain are shown within the upland review area. Prior to action from the Planning & Zoning Commission, a minimal i mpact application shall be prepared for Town staff review. The wetland regulated area has been modified to reflect the current 100’ requirement. All activity has been removed from the 100’ regulated area. b. Proposed landscaping is shown on the northerly property boundary along the new access area. Based on existing site conditions, it appears that the landscaping would be more beneficial on the opposite side to act as a screen for the existing residence (1576 Main Street). Please relocate accordingly. It is understood that the Assistant Town Planner subsequently met with the property owner on site on September 12, 2025 and agreed to 3 rail vinyl fence in lieu of the plantings on the south side of the access drive. The plan has been revised to eliminate the planting on the north side of the drive and add the fence on the south side of the drive. c. Some of the plant selection in the access area is not appropriate. Rhododendron maximum and Kalmia latifolia are woodland plants that require dappled to full shade. This location will receive full sun for at least 6 hours a day, if not more. Please swap for Juniperus virginiana and Ilex glabra ‘Densa’ (or similar cultivar). For future reference, the specific epithet of binomial names is not capitalized. The proposed plant selections have been modified. Page 2 of 3 d. Alternate the placement of Juniperus virginiana, Thuja occidentalis, and Ilex glabra ‘Densa’ to provide variation and visual interest. Ensure all plants will receive adequate sun. The placement of the plantings have been revised to reflect small groupings to provide variation. e. To remain consistent with the grading & planting plan of the interior lot approval from 2012, the 3:1 slope northeasterly of the proposed house should be planted with a mix of northeastern USA native evergreen and deciduous trees similar to what is found in proximity to the site. If Pinus strobus is to be proposed, ensure there will be enough space for them to grow. The plan has been revised to add back plantings on the slope northeasterly of the house. Pinus Strobus is no longer proposed. f. The future pool shown on the plans shall be removed. After approval of the site plan modification, a separate building permit will be required for the permitting of the pool. The plans have been revised to remove the future pool. g. The plans appear to show tree clearing within the Town right-of-way. This work shall be coordinated with Marco Mucciacciaro, Tree Warden. Understood. Engineering Comment: 1. The proposed 6” PVC SDR 35 connection to the sewer main on Main Street will require municipal officers and flaggers for the maintenance and protection of traffic. Please provide an MPT plan for the work within Main Street and the Town ROW. Standard MPT details can be found under “0971001A – Traffic Control Plans and Typical Materials”, in the link below: https://portal.ct.gov/dot/traffic-engineering/traffic- specialprovisions?language=en_US The means and methods for the completion of the work in R.O.W will be the responsibility of the stie Contractor. A note has been added to the plans requiring the Contractor to provide applicable traffic controls for the maintenance and protection of traffic in accordance with CTDOT standards (Form 819) and special provisions (091001A) for the work in the R.O.W. a. A utility coordination meeting should be scheduled for the underground utilities’ connection to Utility Pole SNET 1610S. Please inform the Town when this meeting is scheduled so we may attend. The call-out for the contractor to coordinate utility connections with the utility companies has been modified to add that the Town should be notified of the coordination meetings so that they can attend. Page 3 of 3 2. Details a. The following details should be revised to match the current Town Standard details: i. Permanent Pavement Patching Detail The detail has been revised to reflect the Town’s standard detail. ii. ii. Typical Sanitary Sewer Trench Detail The detail has been revised to reflect the Town’s standard detail. b. Please review Soil Erosion & Sediment Control Notes. i. Currently referring to CTDOT Form 814A, Town Standard is currently Form 816. The plans have been revised to refer to the current DOT Form 819. ii. Note Title is misspelled, revise accordingly.
