- Site Visit 4/17 @ 12:30 PM: FOLLOW UP DISCUSSION SE 12 - 813; REID SILVA FOR HELEN BENHAM; 24 Windy Gates Rd.; AP 30-106.1:. Review revised site plan as conditioned: The applicant shall return to the Commission to review a revised site plan with the following adjustments before any work begins. An additional site visit shall also take place to review the revisions. (Also review deck footprint—no change versus when the addition was requested).
- The new location for the concrete foundation drainage water pump chamber to the gravel trench.
- The erosion control measures shall be shown and labeled.
- The stockpiling location for excavation spoils left on site for fill shall be identified. The un-used excavation spoils shall be removed from the site daily.
- A specific and revised tree removal plan shall be prepared and flagged for an additional site visit. The tree removal shall primarily focus on the south and west sides of the dwelling to increase sunlight and help dry out the soil surface. The trees shall be flush cut with the stumps left in place. The cut tree trunks and limbs not used for fire wood shall be removed from the site.
- The wood chips observed on the previous site visit shall be relocated farther from the wetland and shown on the revised plan or removed from the site.
- The cleared area of the site shall be shown on the revised site plan. This area shall not increase in size at any time in the future to protect the extensive wetland network.
- Once the revised plan is approved there shall be an on-site conference among the Conservation Agent and contractor(s) to review this Order before any work begins.
- (No Site Visit) CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE AMENDED SE 12 – 294; BOB SKYDELL; AP 7-10.6: An Order was issued in 1996 to create a public walking trail across several parcels of private property. A partial certificate of compliance has been issued to release the Dunkl’s property from the scope of work. The project was abandoned and never executed because of a neighbor dispute. Recommend issuing a certificate for an invalid Order because the work was never performed.
- (No Site Visit) POSSIBLE DISCUSSION KATHLEEN TILTON; 10 Eben’s Lane; AP 13-21: The Commission is the Grantee of a CR that limits the development of this property. In November 2015 The Commission approved a change to Section B # 7 of the CR requested by the Grantor, the Vineyard Conservation Society (VCS). The change amended the exceptions to otherwise prohibited acts and uses to allow the placement and maintenance of a barn that does not exceed 2,000 sq. ft. provided it will not be used for human habitation. This shall be done in consultation with the Grantee to maximize consistency with the conservation purposes of the CR.
Kathleen would like to build a horse barn.
