Appointments
7:30 PM Appointment with Dean Anderson regarding 71 Ocean Avenue
Mr. Anderson was concerned about an oil spot in the driveway at 71 Ocean Avenue. Mr. Vacca informed the Commission that there was an open Order of Conditions on the property in question and the oil spot was in the location of the proposed septic system repair. Mr. Lindquist told Mr. Anderson that they had recognized the oil spot and it will be addressed at the appropriate time. Mr. Kemmett added that the DEP has a hotline to report oil spills. He suggested that Mr. Anderson call them and they will investigate and notify the Commission.
7:45 PM Appointment with Pam and Michael Zamagni regarding 60 Bowker Avenue
Mr. & Mrs. Zamagni attended the meeting with George of G & P Construction. Ms. Zamagni explained that she had seen the last meeting on TV and was disturbed that the matter of the enforcement order for 60 Bowker Avenue had been dropped. Mr. Zamagni reiterated that
he and his wife had strictly followed Conservation’s guidelines when putting up their fence and they were surprised to learn that their neighbor’s were not held to the same standard when asked to complete a restoration plan. Mr. Vacca reported that the owners of 60 Bowker Avenue were originally required to replace trees that had been cut on the Zamangi’s property. But because there was some discussion of the impact on the wetland itself, the Commission ultimately decided at the last meeting that the plantings were sufficient and anything further should be addressed as a private matter between the homeowners. George from G & P Construction, on behalf of the Zamagnis, testified that 10-12 trees, 12-14 inches in diameter were cut and not replaced. Mr. Lindquist
requested that Mr. Vacca investigate, conduct a detailed site inspection and provide a report for the next meeting.
