Mr. Beuttell informed the Commission that during the previous week's meeting of the Community Preservation Committee, both projects presented passed unanimously. Members of the Commission discussed the recent requirement of the MBTA Communities law; the Planning Board is to create an overlay district allowing multi-unit housing within a certain radius of MBTA transit, with a percentage of such housing being affordable and subsidized. This topic will be added to the next agenda of the Conservation Commission for discussion on January 9, 2023, which is after the Planning Board meets (on December 21, 2022) and provides additional information. 7:00 PM New Public Meetings/Hearings Mr. Bitsko joined the meeting. Request for Determination of Applicability: 136 Laconia Street ViewPoint Cloud Permit# CDOA-22-30 Applicant: Shermin Jaleel Property Owner: Fayza Jaleel Project: demolition of an in-ground pool within the 100-foot buffer zone to a Bordering Vegetated Wetland Documentation Submitted: ⎯ Project Narrative ⎯ Erosion Control plan Mr. Mohammed Jaleel, property owner, presented to the Commission. The project narrative states the proposal is to remove the entire pool and patio area, but that is not what was said during the site visit, according to members of the Commission, and an accurate description of the project is required prior to approval of the application. Mr. Roger Houghton, contractor, stated that the original plan was to remove the decking around the pool but the property owner has since decided to keep the concrete in place around the pool area. He added that the demolished pool area will be filled with clean loam and regraded as lawn area. Mr. Houghton also stated that in the Spring, all the pea stone will be taken off and the concrete area will be resurfaced. Ms. Mullins responded that, if that is the case, an updated written description will need to be provided that accurately conveys what the plan is. After discussion, the applicant agreed to return to the Commission in the Spring to receive approval for the removal/alteration of the pool decking, and only the pool will be removed at this time. On a motion by Mr. Beuttell and seconded by Ms. Dohan, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to issue a Negative Determination for the pool removal only with conditions.
