17 Pine Bluff (RDA): The commission opened and closed a public hearing on a Request for Determination of Applicability filed by Norma Anthony for tree and brush removal at 17 Pine Bluff (Assessor Map 65 Block 4 Lot 8). The commission issued a Negative 3 determination with conditions: no stump removal, no use of heavy equipment in or near the pond, and removal of any debris that falls into the water. The applicant self-reported the work and plans to hire an arborist to remove cut material.

129 State Shore Road (RDA): The commission opened and closed a public hearing on a Request for Determination of Applicability filed by a resident identified as Donna for removal of a diseased elm tree at 129 State Shore Road (Assessor Map 64 Block 3 Lot 13). The commission issued a Negative 3 determination with the same conditions: no stump removal, no heavy equipment near the drinking-water pond, and removal of any debris from the water. Commissioners advised timing the work for lower-water conditions and to avoid grinding or pulling stumps into the drinking-water body without advance coordination with the water department.

Off Myrick Street (ORAD): The commission reviewed a peer reviewer’s comments and voted to close the hearing and issue an Order of Resource Area Delineation (ORAD). The peer reviewer noted an intermittent stream feature that the commission asked to be listed in the ORAD documentation.

301 Pond Lane and other continuances: The commission granted a continuance for 301 Pond Lane to July 22, 2025 because peer-review calculations were incomplete. The enforcement matter at 52 Cliff Pond Road was continued to July 22 (see enforcement article). The commission also continued hearings for 28 Precinct Street and 160 Bedford Street to the commission’s next meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the police station.

Administrative items: The commission accepted the minutes of the April 22, 2025 meeting as presented and adjourned the meeting.

The commission reiterated the enforcement order’s requirements: a complete delineation of the border of the wetland and resource area by a certified wetland scientist, a restoration plan submitted for commission approval, and supervision of any on-site work by the conservation agent or a commissioner.

Owner Derek Faxi presented an overlay survey prepared by surveyor Dave Madigan to show the disturbed area and said the wetland-scientist consultant (identified in the meeting as Steve Schmiel) was on vacation; he expects a written plan and delineation upon the consultant’s return. Commissioners said the state’s mass-mapper overlay can be imprecise and advised that the scientist will need to excavate test pits or auger sample points so the line can be confirmed in the field.

Commission direction and next steps: the commission ordered that no debris removal or other remediation occur until it reviews and approves the required scientist’s delineation and restoration plan. The commission set the matter for a continued hearing on July 22 and instructed that work on the property must be supervised by the commission’s agent or a commissioner. The owner said he would have his consultant prepare the delineation and a written plan describing sampling and remediation methods.","The commission continued an enforcement matter at 52 Cliff Pond Road, requiring a certified wetland scientist to complete a delineation, and ordered a restoration plan and commission supervision before any removal or replication work.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6520213,"Lakeville commission orders peer review, wildlife checks after debate over house near potential vernal pool",2501,1870000,4371000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5334348-c45d8fc3f0d3eb0ac3dc0d703ddc52e8&start=1870&end=4371","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5334348-c45d8fc3f0d3eb0ac3dc0d703ddc52e8/thumbnail_1870000.jpg","/articles/6520213/Massachusetts/Lakeville-commission-orders-peer-review-wildlife-checks-after-debate-over-house-near-potential-vernal-pool","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6520213-d6e17758eeb7a28ef2fc9f7ae501ae08/orig.mp4?Expires=1770487485&Signature=moHpsEuP7DgQUQbG7vcnf1vriTvhX0JKQ2xA8XxdNS-KH6StmGyAa63qQCSJoYj9bQ68HLlquUbaZFz1vZvElxO2qAjYhmlAjANcEcYRGcVaOVV3aHtxnVIzyymLCcbYWpR75fUMSGRcBGzbUBKyJ0ps2w604pFla3QIdm91L7~jCDsA~gPbeZ~z98lUM-ZEkYHhgnO3aaMne2dPTujT3U6J9uxRVwQA7haOeTpL8Bnk91slN7E8ywCcUsii8v2QRoWB~6vZWpcGih36zPn5nWv6Z7HAyeoBj5oQICrsTFof9MBpq7wyo4CMENi74-DHlcfu0XfZpkHXQTSE9ekmrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Conservation Commission on July 8 continued review of plans for a proposed single-family house at 19 Captain’s Way and voted to seek outside reviews and additional information after members and neighbors raised concerns about proximity to a potential vernal pool and to the wetland buffer.

Commissioners asked the applicant to provide a peer review of the wetland boundary, to research whether the site can be certified as a vernal pool, and to submit revised plans showing roof-drain recharge and strengthened erosion controls. The commission also directed staff to locate and share minutes documenting the commission’s long-standing 25-foot no-touch policy for buffer zones.

The motion, which commissioners discussed at length, instructed the applicant to provide revised stabilization and drainage details — including options such as sod, jute mesh or a specified seed mix and a double erosion-control approach (silt sock plus silt fence) — and authorized the commission to solicit cost quotes for the requested wetland-line peer review. The motion passed unanimously.

Why it matters: Commissioners said the house footprint sits unusually close to the flagged wetland line and that errors in delineation or insufficient erosion controls could result in impacts to a nearby seasonal wetland and its wildlife. Several commissioners noted that the site’s 25-foot “no-touch” policy has been applied consistently for two decades, and they wanted the record of that policy available as the application proceeds.

Applicant and consultant statements: The applicant’s engineer said the project complies with Title 5 septic requirements and that the proposed septic and house locations are on sand-based soils above the wetland line. He offered to revise the plan to show roof-drain recharge and additional erosion controls and said the client was “amenable to any reasonable concerns” including double silt protection and slope stabilization.

Neighbors described seasonal high water at the basin behind the lot and reported seeing spring wildlife activity. Keith Archer, a neighbor on Anaconda Drive, said the low area collects stormwater and that, in larger storms, water has come up near yards on Captain’s Way.

Next steps: The commission will: (1) obtain minutes documenting its 25-foot no-touch policy; (2) solicit and review peer-review quotes for the wetland boundary; (3) research vernal-pool certification timing and procedure with Natural Heritage; (4) require revised plans with detailed drainage/stabilization measures and signage/fencing for the limited work area; and (5) have commissioners visit the site with staff before the next hearing.

The applicant consented to the continuance and to prepare the requested revisions and materials for the commission’s review.","The Lakeville Conservation Commission continued a hearing on a proposed single-family house at 19 Captain’s Way, voted to seek a peer review of the wetland delineation, requested research into vernal pool certification and asked the applicant to revise drainage and erosion-control plans.","actionData","errors"]
