Multiple abutting property owners and neighbors attended that meeting to voice their opinions on the Fulop property and the work that is proposed as well as work already completed. Ms. Lauren Weeks, property owner of 23 Coolidge Avenue stated that she was concerned with the amount of work being done and that it is setting a precedent that is not within the protection of the wetlands. She raised concern that she was not notified about the original fence proposal; however, Mr. Hamilton clarified that it was brought up through an Insignificant Plan Change and abutters are not notified in those scenarios. Ms. Elizabeth Jazz, abutting property owner, also raised concern that approval of the gate would condemn continued projects and a subdivision of the property. While there was a large presence of abutters discussing the placement of a fence gate, Mr. Hamilton tried to make it clear that the Commission's stance is to protect the wetland and they don't have jurisdiction over placement of a fence gate or potential subdivisions. Ms. Mullins stated that there are two different issues being discussed during the hearing; a Request for Determination of Applicability regarding the installation of a fence and management of invasive species, and also the neighbors bringing to the Commission's attention violations on the property that were not a part of the Notice of Intent approval. Ms. Trudeau stated that Ms. Jane Chen Fulop has spoken with legal counsel and confirmed that the owners of 38 Adams Street have a legal right to the roadway. If the Fulops don't install a gate they could be seen as waiving their rights to the Brigham Road cul-de-sac and their Attorney advised them to install the gates. Ms. Trudeau added that the Fulops have no intention to develop the area into a roadway and only want to maintain their rights regarding the paper street. On a motion by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Mr. Langseth, the Commission voted 5-0 by roll call vote to issue a negative determination with conditions.
