Kevin Beuttell – Aye Alex Dohan – Aye Ruth Ladd – Aye Holly Samuels – Aye Jason Hnatko – Aye Phil Hamilton – Aye 6:50 PM Conservation Plan Modification/Insignificant Plan Change: 127 North Street, VPC# CPM-23-1, DEP#201-1137, BL# 1094 Mr. Rich Kirby, LEC Environmental Consultants, and Mr. Al Gala, Gala Simon Associates, presented the plan change request to install a pervious walkway from the driveway to the front entrance of the house. The applicant is also in the process of requesting the Certificate of Compliance; however, the request was removed from the agenda since the site is not in compliance with the Order of Conditions, per review by Ms. Mullins. Ms. Mullins stated that, in addition to the pervious walkway being constructed without approval, the adjacent Conservation land “triangle” along North Road was altered during construction, the required fence was not installed along the shared property boundary, and the required native trees (Red Oak and White Pine) were not planted. Mr. Gala confirmed that the compensatory storage area to the west of the dwelling was undersized by volume but compensated for in the area east of the driveway. Ms. Mullins stated that the compensatory storage area to the west of the dwelling should be planted and it is currently just lawn grass. Members of the Commission agreed that the shared property boundary with the Conservation- owned land along North Road should be clearly demarcated. The Order of Conditions required a privacy fence to be installed. Mr. Hamilton stated that he would like to see a boundary that is more substantial, and the fence to be installed as originally permitted. On a motion by Ms. Ladd and seconded by Mr. Beuttell, the Commission voted 6-0 by roll call vote to only approve the Conservation Plan Modification/Insignificant Plan Change request for the pervious walkway from the driveway to the front entrance.
