PH, DELISLE, WEST ST., GARAGE & DRIVEWAY
Representing the applicant were Rich Delisle and Shayne McGlone from McGlone Enterprises Inc. Mr. McGlone submitted a revised plan showing a revised wetland line based on a site visit with the Conservation Administrator. Mr. McGlone explained the project, which was construction of a driveway and garage within the buffer to bordering vegetated wetlands. The proposed single family dwelling is located outside the jurisdiction of the Commission. Mr. John MacCormack, 333 Church St. noted he was an abutter and was not notified of this public hearing. Mr. MacCormack also asked if the plan could show the abutting parcels. He also commented that the Planning Board had previously denied a plan to develop this property because of wetlands.

wetlands Dr. Gill asked if the driveway could be crushed stone rather than paved. Mr. Grady asked the applicant to create a larger buffer between the wetlands and the proposed activities.
