Application #01-40W - Chris Fortin, 135 Pierce Road
Mr. Peter DeMallie came before the Commission to represent this application. He explained that the only changes to this application from when it was previously presented is as follows:
Some topographic information was added in order to show the edge of the brook on the property.
Some revisions to the driveway, house and brook.
The addition of a conservation easement 5.74 acres in size.
There is a direct impact to a small piece of wetlands in the amount of 525 square feet which is on the northwest end of the house in order to accommodate the house, garage and associated grading.
Jeff Folger asked the applicant why the conservation easement could not be extended to the western boundary? Mr. DeMallie explained that Mr. Fortin had a conversation with a neighbor who may want to acquire that back portion.
Commission members discussed the area in question and could see no reason why the applicant could not extend the conservation easement to the western boundary. The applicant agreed to extend the easement to the western property boundary.
Jeff recommended that hay mulch be used on areas that will be left open during the winter months.
Motion to: approve with conditions appl. #01-40W - Chris Fortin - Inland Wetland/Conservation Commission application to construct a single family home on 135 Pierce Road, (Assessor's map #63, parcel #5) RR zone.
