Roxbury, CT Site Development Plan
Roxbury, CT Site Development Plan

Roxbury Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission approval was received for a proposed house at Southbury Road in Roxbury, Connecticut.  The proposed house is approximately 6,500 square feet in size and will consist of 7 bedrooms with associated appurtenances.  Health approval has already been granted as well for the proposed septic system. 

The proposed driveway is approximately 0.5 miles in length and the house has been situated so as to maintain privacy from surrounding properties.  Views of the nearby Maplebank Farm and the mountains beyond will be seen from the proposed house site. 

A wetlands crossing of approximately 65 feet was granted by the Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission.  In order to minimize impact a “seepage envelope” was proposed as well as pre-cast concrete box culvert where the existing watercourse currently conveys stormwater.  The box culvert will be set 1 foot below the existing watercourse bottom and the native watercourse material will be stockpiled and placed in the bottom of the culvert.  This will allow for the maintenance of the existing hydraulics and hydrology of the existing watercourse as well as allow for any wildlife habitat to utilize the area as it always as.
