⎯ BVW Delineation Field Data Form; Prepared by: Oxbow Associates; Date of delineation: 9/14/2022; ⎯ Topographic Plan of Land; Prepared by: Stamski & McNary, Inc.; Stamped and signed by: Jonathan D. Bollen, PLS No. 48448; Date: 97/2017 and revised (2) 10/13/2022; Mr. Scott Smyers and Mr. Ron Strohsahl, Oxbow Associates, presented to the Commission. Mr. Smyers stated that Oxbow Associates previously delineated the wetland system at the abutting property of 16 Cedar Street in 2018. At the site of 12 Cedar Street, Oxbow found evidence of fill during test pits and soil collection. The property owners had previously told Oxbow Associates that this area had been used as a dump historically. Mr. Smyers added that the vegetative community of the site has been altered by the property owners planting almost 100% wetland plants, and that the manipulated fill soils do not show indications of hydrology right at the surface or in the root zone. Supplemental documentation was provided the day of the meeting and the Commission and staff did not have the opportunity to review prior to the meeting. The Commission will perform another site visit. On a motion by Ms. Samuels and seconded by Mr. Beuttell, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call vote to continue the hearing to the January 9, 2023 meeting at the applicant’s request.
