On July 25, the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission heard a Notice of Intent filing brought by David Halle of 23 Grand View Avenue. The application was represented by Peter Therrien of Field Engineering for construction of a 32×32-foot detached garage with an impervious patio area. Therrien detailed the stormwater considerations in the plan, but the commissioners felt those might not be sufficient.
Contract Agent Brandon Faneuf reminded the commission that stormwater standards for a single-family residence are not very strict but that Highway Surveyor Garrett Bauer might not appreciate stormwater runoff pooling on the public roadway. Faneuf pointed out that since the entire lot is in jurisdictional spaces, the commission could ask the Highway Department to weigh in on the plans as presented. The NOI was continued to August 8.
Also continued to August 8 was a NOI filed by Andre Ricksts, Scott Atkinson and Margo Wilson-Atkinson for property identified as 0 Route 195 off Park Lane. The NOI seeks the construction of an access roadway to uplands for a planned, two-lot subdivision.
The applicants’ representative, Claire Hoogeboom of LED Environmental Consultants, Inc. delved into the intricacies of three wetland crossings and one stream crossing with a roadway 20-feet wide and 580-feet long. There will also be some 4,000 feet of disturbance in a BVW with an appropriately sized replication area on the property, Hoogeboom stated.
Pending are a Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection file number, certification of wildlife impacts, if any, and approval of a sewer extension. The project will return on August 8.
A Request for Determination of Applicability was filed by Fogcutter LLC for 50 Ocean Drive for the construction of a 12×20-foot screened porch. The filing was represented by Mark Leone of Schneider, Davignon & Leone, Inc. A Negative 2 determination was rendered.
The next meeting of the Mattapoisett Conservation Commission is scheduled for Monday, August 8, at 6:30 pm.
