What was thought to be a simple, two-lot subdivision at 14 Snow Fields Road returned to the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission on January 2 as a new Notice of Intent filing.
The property in question is owned by Dennis Arsenault, and the latest filing, a Notice of Intent, is for work done beyond the approved limits.
Representing Arsenault was David Davignon of Schneider, Davignon & Leone, Inc. Davignon said that some 700 square feet of trap rock had been added to the edging along an extended driveway. With this change, he explained that the state Department of Environmental Protection would only issue a partial Certificate of Compliance. Davignon asked that an after-the-fact Order of Conditions be issued for the placement of additional trap rock. The commissioners had no issue with the request.
With this in place and in the absence of the commission’s decision being appealed, Arsenault can return for a Certificate of Compliance.
In other business, the commission approved a new septic system design for 18 Shore Drive. Evelio Suarez, owner, filed the Request for Determination of Applicability.
New Notice of Intent filings all represented by Davignon were quickly approved. They were: Robert and Carol Hall, 17 High View Avenue, for the construction of a standalone, two-story garage; Arthur Harris Alden III, Aucoot Road, for the construction of a new single-family home; and James and Lisa Tenglin, 124 Aucoot Road, for the construction of a single-family home.
New RDA’s also represented by Davignon were John and Tricia O’Reilly, 6 Pearl Street, for driveway improvements, and Alexander Bauer, 7 Nashawena Road, for a proposed deck.
The next meeting of the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission is scheduled for Tuesday, January 16, at 6:30 pm.
