Franklin Conservation Commission approves four tree-removal permits and continues hearings. The commission approved residential tree-removal permits for 7 Bubbling Brook Road, 155 King Street, and 670 King Street with various stump-preservation conditions, and continued a request from 30 Jefferson Road pending arborist assessment. Two Notices of Intent hearings were continued to July 30 for a 110 Populatic Street project and an emergency culvert replacement at Nicholas Drive/Prospect Street.
A third hearing for an inground pool at 23 Anchorage Road was rescinded due to improper abutter notification and will be reopened after compliance. The commission approved a $1,350 expenditure for Riverbend Farm climate plots and endorsed a Conservation Area Passport program launching September 1.
