HADLEY — An undeveloped property between North Maple Street and Rocky Hill Road, once eyed as a location for Five Colleges Inc. library, will be the focus of a Conservation Commission public hearing Tuesday.

The commission hearing on an abbreviated notice of resource delineation, filed under the state Wetlands Protection Act and the town wetlands bylaw, begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Hadley Senior Center, and will also be available via Zoom.

The filing for the 38 North Maple St. site comes from attorneys Bacon Wilson, PC of Amherst. Last year, the land was sold by Albert and Thomas Lees for $525,000 to North Maple Street LLC, whose manager is Amherst developer Barry Roberts. In Hadley, Roberts has overseen the development of the East Street Commons, a 55-and-over condominiums project.

Located between the Elaine Center nursing home and the High Meadow Road neighborhood, the land is a former agricultural site.

Conservation agent Kayla Loubriel said the plans filed with the town asks for the commission to approve the flagged wetland boundary, but don’t include a specific project.

When development was previously proposed, a sticking point with the Planning Board was the size of the project, which may have exceeded the town’s 75,000-square-foot cap on buildings. Five Colleges argued that the building was exempt as an educational use, holding rarely circulating books and journals.

Planners, though, denied the permit, with Five Colleges eventually constructing the facility in Hatfield.
