Malone, CE#48204; Date: 11/21/2023; Revised Last Date: <br />2/6/2024; <br /> <br />Mr. Richard Kirby, LEC Environmental, presented on behalf of the applicants. Mr. Kirby stated <br />that the RDA was filed for shed removal, pavement installation and removal of the retaining wall <br />in association with the demolition and reconstruction of a single-family house outside of the <br />Buffer Zone. Limited work is within the Buffer Zone which was previously disturbed. No tree <br />removal is proposed and a native shade tolerant seed mix and erosion control blanket are being <br />proposed. Mr. Kirby stated that during the delineation process there were no indicators of <br />hydrology, redoximorphic concentrations or depletions, depleted matrix or evidence of a perched <br />water table in an area upslope of the delineated wetland. <br /> <br />Ms. Dohan commented that the Commission would prefer that, if any of the proposed trees to be <br />removed are found to be healthy, they not be removed. Mr. Bitsko suggested relocating the <br />proposed stockpile location and to provide compost filter socks and silt fencing to create visual <br />barriers and erosion control. Mr. Kirby responded that the stockpile can be relocated closer to the <br />cul-de-sac and entrenched siltation fencing can be installed as part of the erosion control. <br /> <br />On a motion by Mr. Beuttell and seconded by Mr. Bitsko, the Commission voted 7-0 by roll call <br />vote to issue a negative determination with conditions. <br /> <br />Record of Vote as Follows: <br /> <br />Kevin Beuttell – Aye <br />Duke Bitsko – Aye <br />Alex Dohan – Aye <br />Ruth Ladd – Aye <br /> <br />
