above-referenced application, plans and the presentation made to the Commission
at its September 1, 2016 special meeting and at its September 15, 2016 regular
meeting did not meet the criteria of a significant impact activity as outlined in
Section 2 (Definitions – Significant Impact) of the Town of Montville’s Inland
Wetlands & Watercourses Regulations.
2. It unanimously vote to APPROVE the above-referenced application for regulated
activities in conjunction with adaptive reuse of mill buildings for multi-family
residential as described in the application, supporting documentation, including
Stormwater Management Report Dated September 2016, Project Overview Dated
August 30, 2016, Wetland Investigation Dated August 23, 2016 and Foundation

wildlife, to prevent flooding, to supply and protect surface and groundwater, to
control sediment, to facilitate drainage, to control pollution, to support
recreational activities, and to promote public health and safety.
2. The Commission has determined that the relationship between the short-term uses
of the environment and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term
productivity will have no impact on the surrounding wetland system.
3. The proposed activity will not have irreversible and irretrievable commitments of
resources.

or interference with, safety, health, or the reasonable use of property, including
abutting or downstream property.
5. The proposed activity use is suitable to the area.
6. The applicant has taken all feasible measures to mitigate the impact of any aspect
