Commission issues certificate of compliance for prior driveway permit, continues review of new house NOI at 0 Hill Road
Summary
The commission closed an open order of conditions tied to a historic driveway crossing on Lot 3 (Major Hill/Hill Road) by issuing a certificate of compliance, then continued consideration of a new notice of intent for a single-family house, well and septic in the riverfront zone.
The conservation commission voted to issue a complete certificate of compliance to close an earlier order of conditions associated with a driveway crossing at Lot 3, Major Hill Road (also referred to in filings as Hill Road). The action resolves an open order tied to a driveway and culvert installed under a 1990s permit that was later revived under COVID-era extensions.
Conservation staff explained that the property is owned by Michael Dyer and that the applicant has filed a new notice of intent to build a single-family home, with a septic system and well farther back on the parcel. The staff presentation noted that some new work—house, septic and well—would be within the 200-foot riverfront area and that the applicant reported being within the 10% allowed alteration of the total riverfront area on the parcel. Staff said a deed restriction and boulder line will limit future work in the riverfront zone.
The chair moved to issue the certificate of compliance to close the earlier order related to the driveway and culvert; the commission voted in favor. Staff then recommended closing the public hearing on the new notice of intent and issuing order conditions for the new house; commissioners voted to close the hearing and issue order conditions.
Staff said the driveway/culvert had been partially built and that commission inspection and plan revisions had been coordinated. The commission asked for any outstanding plans to be provided to staff for filing.
Outcome: Certificate of compliance issued for the prior driveway order; public hearing closed and order-of-conditions issued for the new single-family house project on Lot 3 (0 Hill Road) pending plan filing.
