Commission closes 1982 Chestnut Street wetlands order

Conservation Commission · Meeting of September 14, 2026

EASTHAMPTON — The Conservation Commission closed out a 1982 wetlands order for 3 Chestnut Street. A voice vote issued a certificate of compliance for the 1982 order covering a solar greenhouse about 60 feet from Brickyard Brook; the original file said only "application approved as submitted." Staff briefed members on the city's right of first refusal for a roughly 15-acre Glendale Street parcel leaving Chapter 61B, and said the city was discussing a possible donation of the wetland backland with the prospective buyer. Members also heard that the 2023 Parks and Recreation determination of applicability for a maintenance building, which cannot be extended, expires in November, and staff agreed to seek guidance on how to proceed.
