V. REGULAR BUSINESS
A. Staff Report:
1. Charles Barnes: Order to Cease and Desist. Enforcement Officer Costa gave a summary to the Commission regarding a complaint of fill within wetlands, grading within 100 feet, and structures within 100 feet.
Mr. Barnes will be getting an A-2 survey.
2. Classic Carriage Auto Wash: Some excavation had to be done as requested by Rich Snarski, because of the amount of fill, and the need to find the wetlands boundary, and flag it. Due to the amount of fill it appears an Army Corps of Engineer permit is required. The DEP has been contacted.
Chairman Smith requested Enforcement Officer follow up with the Army Corps and the DEP.
The Commission agreed a motion was needed to ensure Classic Carriage complies with the suggestions by Richard Snarski.
MOTION made for the owner of the Classic Carriage Car Wash to remove existing fill per suggestion and determination of Richard Snarski’s requirements so as to be sufficient for Mr. Snarski to establish limits, boundaries, and flagging of wetlands; to abide and include all DEP and Army Corp. of Engineer stipulations, permits and requirements; MADE: by B. McKeown; SECONDED: by R. McIntyre; DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION: William Pollock suggested that the material removed from the site should be deposited in an approved disposal area. The Commission members agreed that the disposal site will be determined by the type of materials that are removed. Brendan McKeown questioned the drying shed on the property but the Commission members agreed not to include the removal of the shed
in this motion, but to include the removal of the mechanical equipment i.e., the backhoe. AMEND MOTION: B. McKeown amends his motion, and R. McIntyre amends his SECOND; VOTING IN FAVOR: P. Smith, C. Sohl, W. Pollock, C. Wehrly, B. McKeown, R. McIntyre; OPPOSED: none; ABSTAINING: none; APPROVED: 6-0-0.
