During Monday night’s meeting of the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission, David Davignon of Schneider, Davignon & Leone, Inc. confirmed to the commissioners that a Chapter 91 waterways permit application has been filed on behalf of property located in Rochester.
During the previous meeting, Conservation Commission Chairman Mike King had expressed the need to further investigate what was happening upstream of Al Robichaud’s property on Wolf Island Road. Robichaud had lodged a complaint with the commission regarding a lack of water on his property. A dam in Rochester was ascertained to lack requisite permitting; Davignon told the commission that a permit is in the works.
An Order of Conditions was issued to Jeff and Tania Phillips of 3 Pigwacket Lane for the construction of a new home along the riverfront area. It took several meetings to satisfy the commission’s questions centered around mitigation plans and stormwater systems. The Phillips were represented by Davignon.
A Request for Determination of Applicability filed by Michael and Dorothy Bernasconi of 3 Spruce Street for the upgrading of a failed septic system received a negative determination, clearing the way for the improvement.
A reopened Notice of Intent for property listed as 0 Route 195 owned by Andre Riekksts, Scott Atkinson and Margo Wilson-Atkinson received conditioning. The proposed work includes a roadway for an approved, two-lot subdivision.
The next meeting of the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission is scheduled for Monday, September 12, at 6:30 pm.
