Falmouth Board continues hearing on unpermitted construction at 30 Woodneck Road

The Falmouth Conservation Commission convened on December 11, 2024, to address several agenda items, including continuances and enforcement orders. The meeting began with discussions about the scheduling of future hearings, particularly regarding a project that had been requested for continuance.

Commission members deliberated on whether to proceed with the hearing on January 8 or to postpone it until January 15. After some discussion, a motion was made to continue the matter until January 8, which was unanimously approved by the commission. Members emphasized the importance of being prepared for the upcoming meeting and encouraged the applicant to reach out for any clarifications needed.

Following this, the commission moved on to a continued hearing under an enforcement order concerning unpermitted construction at 30 Woodneck Road. The issues at hand included the construction of a deck, patio, and driveway, as well as the clearing of vegetation within a resource area buffer. The commission acknowledged the need to formally address these violations and agreed to continue the discussion to January 8, allowing time for further consideration and the opportunity to vote on the order of conditions.

The meeting concluded with members exchanging holiday greetings, and the commission reaffirmed its commitment to addressing environmental concerns in Falmouth. The next scheduled meeting will take place on January 8, 2025, where these matters will be revisited.
