Conservation Commission
Commission approved Certificates/Orders for Lake Attitash (COC 002-1220; OOC 002-1323) and for a 751 sq ft addition at 386 Main St (OOC 002-1324); issued a superseding COC for 18 Woodwell Circle (RCOC ACC20); revised Enforcement Orders for 12 & 14 South Hunt Rd to include a Dec. 7, 2023 mitigation plan and lifted the Enforcement Order for 53 South Hunt Rd.
The Conservation Commission reviewed several permit applications and enforcement matters affecting shoreline and stormwater-managed properties. The Commission issued a Certificate of Compliance for 66B Lake Attitash Road (COC 002-1220) and approved a new Notice of Intent and Order of Conditions for the same property (OOC 002-1323), noting a substantial reduction of impervious surface and proposed native plantings. The Commission also issued a superseding Certificate of Compliance for 18 Woodwell Circle (RCOC ACC20) and approved a Notice of Intent and Order of Conditions for a 751 sq ft garage/mudroom addition at 386 Main Street (OOC 002-1324).
Enforcement actions were addressed: the Enforcement Order for 53 South Hunt Road was lifted after a final monitoring report confirmed removal of temporary erosion-control material and site stabilization. The Commission voted to revise the Enforcement Order for 12 and 14 South Hunt Road to incorporate mitigation shown on a December 7, 2023 plan; discussion covered recent heavy rains, repaired erosion controls, temporary detention basins, and the adequacy of the stormwater management measures once the overall project is complete. An interim as-built for Lake Gardner Beach (DEP 002-1286) was requested and that item was tabled to the February 5, 2024 meeting. The meeting also included a briefing on MVP grants and the Open Space Plan for the benefit of newer commissioners.
