Bill Carboni was present to discuss the application regarding renewals of approvals of these lots in 2001. Commissioner Curran asked for clarification of the plans in regards to the road and the grading. Mr. Carboni confirmed that there will be no additional work in relationship to the road. Commissioner Pieragostini asked whether there could be a buffer or additional protection between the road and the wetlands. Mr. Carboni said the demarcation boundary can wrap around the wetlands (from the house and down along the road). Commissioner Peters asked Mr. Carboni to review the additional conditions he suggested. After discussion, Commissioner Pieragostini motioned to approve the application with standard conditions, A, B, C, D, E, F, and
