Type of Permit/Application:  Minor Site Plan

                                                Groundwater Protection Special Permit

                                                Recreational Marijuana Establishment Special Permit

Applicant:                    Neo Organics, LLC of Sudbury, MA

Property Owner:        NEK, LLC of Camas, WA

Application Date:       August 6, 2019                       

Project Summary:       The applicant proposes to use the existing 29,718 sq. ft. industrial manufacturing building at 4 Marc Road for the cultivation, manufacturing, processing, and packaging of marijuana for adult recreational use and the delivery of such products off site to retail marijuana establishments in other communities.  A retail marijuana operation is NOT proposed for this property.

            The 6.68 acre property is located on the north side of the Marc Road cul-de-sac in the East Industrial Zoning District.  Access and egress to the site will be from Marc Road which runs westerly off of Industrial Park Road which is off Main Street/Route 109. The property is located within the Town’s Groundwater Protection District and includes wetland resources in the northeast corner of the site which are under the jurisdiction of the Medway Conservation Commission with which the applicant has already filed a Notice of Intent.  24.4% of the site will be impervious surface, thus necessitating a Groundwater Protection District special permit.

            The planned scope of work includes interior renovations to the existing building, construction of a 3,000 sq. ft. concrete mechanical pad to house some HVAC and odor control equipment, construction of a dumpster pad with associated fencing, installation of a series of stormwater management measures (recharge/infiltration system and sub-surface stormwater treatment units), maintenance excavation and clean-up of the existing manmade drainage ditch, and the associated erosion and sedimentation controls during construction.
