Informal Public Meetings

7:30 PM  An Informal Public Meeting was scheduled with Mr. Ken Sweezey of 51 Mattakeesett Street to discuss the paving of his driveway across a wetland resource area.  Mr. Sweezey verbally cancelled his appearance before this Board on June 2nd and did not appear for the meeting.  The Board decided to send Mr. Sweezey a letter to schedule a Formal Meeting at the Public Meeting on June 24th to respond to this issue or possibly incur a fine.

8:25 PM  An Informal Public Meeting was held regarding the Dunstan Property, 81 Hill Street with Maureen Hurley, of Ohrenberger Assoc. of 28 New Driftway, Scituate representing Mr. William Dunstan.    Ms. Hurley explained that Mr. Dunstan has a building permit to rebuild his house that burned down recently but that it had been revoked because there is an Enforcement Order against him.  Jesse McSweeney mentioned that the E.O. was from the Board of Health.  Mr. Gelsi said that has nothing to do with this office.  The Conservation Commission has signed the building permit and  wishes to work with Mr. Dunstan to clean up his property.  Ms. Cassady would like hay bales and  siltation controls and believes this issue can be resolved with close inspection.  Mr. Gelsi asked Ms. Hurley to get permission from Mr. Dunstan for this office to inspect.  Ms. Hurley will be in touch.
