Gelbard – 19 Limerock Lane – NOI – demo existing home, construct new home and septic (T. Lovett is the project manager)

Allen - 148 Main Rd – present planting plan (D. Stucker is the project manager)
The Commission met with Ben Naylor from Berkshire Engineering and homeowner Andrew Allen to review the planting plan for this project which was issued an Order of Conditions last month. The Commission did state for the record that abutters have submitted an appeal to DCR. DCR and Counsel has said that the Commission can review and act on the planting plan however the applicant/homeowner cannot act on anything until DCR makes their decision. The Commission approved the planting plan as presented.

24 Laurel Banks – Request for Certificate of Compliance
This request if for an NOI originally filed in 2000 but there is no documentation on file for it. The Commission continued this to the next meeting.
For Discussion:
- The Commission discussed the fact that the owners of 4 Point Rd which were sent an enforcement order for work in the buffer zone without a permit and were to file a NOI for the May meeting have yet to file any documents. The Commission will look into their options to the unresponsiveness from the homeowner/engineer.
- The Commission discussed project reviews that have been submitted since the last meeting.
- Mail was reviewed.
