Prior to the meeting,staff were notified of the construction of a pergola structure without issuance of a building permit and Conservation approval.The property owner,Mr.Jeong-Ju Cho, was denied an Order of Conditions in 2017 for the construction of a garage addition because the proposal did not meet the Commission’s performance standards.The Commission informed the property owner that the pergola would require review and approval through a Notice of Intent process.The Commission had similar concerns with the pergola structure as they did in 2017 for the garage addition,regarding the close proximity of the structure to the wetland and the construction activity disturbing more than 50%of the buffer zone's natural community.Mr.Cho will prepare a Notice of Intent filing for the pergola construction,install erosion control,and remove material and sediment stockpiles from the site.
