Mattapoisett’s Conservation Commission played a small role in providing a wounded veteran with the peace of mind of a home adapted to their needs when they met on February 28.
Coming before the commission with a Notice of Intent application filed by Cheryl Peterson PE, Homes for Our Troops, for construction of a four-bed single family home at 0 Noyes Avenue was Field Engineering’s Peter Therrien.
Therrien explained that the applicant is a non-profit organization that secures properties and develops them with designs suited to the specific needs of the future homeowner. The Homes for Our Troops website notes that nationally 325 homes have been donated to a severely wounded veteran and their family with eight of those located in Massachusetts so far.
The proposed home will have a septic system and freshwater well within the 100-foot buffer zone of a bordering vegetated wetland. The project was unanimously approved for standard conditioning that includes erosion control and a permanent marker designating the no-touch zone.
Also coming before the commission was David Davignon of Schneider, Davignon and Leone, Inc. with a Request for Determination of Applicability filed by Buzzards Bay Management LLC for the replacement of 11 pilings in the Brandt Cove Marina floating dock area located at 21 Dupont Avenue. Davignon explained that the work constitutes routine maintenance. The project received a negative determination.
When their Notice of Intent filing was reopened, an order of conditions was granted to Mark and Jeanne Connon, 65 Mattapoisett Neck Road, for the construction of a residential pier. The project was represented by Davignon.
Also approved was a septic repair for 10 Noyes Avenue, Jerilyn McQuade. The RDA was represented by Carmelo Nicolosi of Charon Associates, Inc.
The next meeting of the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission is scheduled for Monday, March 14, at 6:30 pm.
