MONSON CONSERVATION COMMISSION
AUGUST 5, 2009
MEMBERS PRESENT: Leslie Duthie, Glenn Colburn and Donald Lambert
MEMBERS ABSENT: Davis Johnson
7:10 8 Old Stafford Road David Ennacco. Mr. Ennacco met with the Commission to discuss a letter he received regarding signs for fill.
Leslie Duthie stated Commission members saw the signs and wrote a letter to make Mr. Ennacco aware that they saw fill had been put on the bank of a small stream along the edge of his property. Any work within 200 feet of a perennial stream must be filed for with the Conservation Commission.
David Ennacco stated he was not putting any fill by the stream. The area the Commission saw was his effort to stabilize the bank because of erosion into the brook caused by run off from Old Stafford Road. He stated he called the Highway Department to ask them to take a look at the area and put down trap rock to catch the silt before it went into the brook. The area that is eroding is approximately 10 feet beyond an existing culvert. Mr. Ennacco stated he has taken the signs down.
Leslie Duthie stated there are a lot of places where a little fix could go a long way. The Commission wanted to make sure that Mr. Ennacco was aware of the requirements for filing with the Commission for any work in areas regulated by the Wetland Protection Act. Ms. Duthie suggested the Commission take a look at the area that concerns Mr. Ennacco and follow that up with a discussion with John Morrell, Highway Surveyor.
Leslie Duthie stated she prepared letters to be sent to Ms. Prybylo 69 Lakeside Drive and Ms. Bryant 100 Lakeside Drive after following up on information the Commission received of work within 200 feet of the lake without filing or notification to the Commission. Ms. Duthie stated she has asked both parties to attend the next meeting of the Conservation Commission.
Glenn Colburn stated he checked out a lot on Butler Road owned by Mr. Choinere and will sign the building permit application as there are no wetland issues at all.
