This failure includes,but is not limited to not being in conformance with the master plans goal of creating conservation development in this area,specifically development that is sensitive to the environment. The board found that the project would have adverse impacts on sensitive wetlands and wildlife corridors. There appear to be other projects that could have a smaller environmental footprint(specifically with the home moved further north)that potentially could receive a permit but although the applicant moved a portion of the project to reduce environmental footprint,the board found that this option was not sufficiently explored by the applicant. The project would have other adverse impacts on city resources,as a result of its insensitivity to the environment,inconsistent with the Site Plan and Special Permit requirements.
