Commission issues negative determination for single-family house at 0 Talcott Ave with buffer-zone signage condition
Summary
The commission issued a Negative Determination of Applicability (Item 3) for light grading and vegetation trimming at 0 Talcott Ave, and required boundary markers/signage to show buffer-zone limits.
The Gardner Conservation Commission issued a Negative Determination of Applicability under item 3 (work inside the buffer zone that will not alter resource areas) for proposed light grading and vegetation trimming associated with a single-family house at 0 Talcott Avenue.
The applicant (identifying as Donald Foster in the record) said minimal grading was required and that the closest house wall would be roughly 107 feet from the wetland; the driveway will be at the front and no work was planned behind the house. Commissioners requested permanent boundary markers and signage to show the 60- and 100-foot buffer limits and to ensure future property owners understand the buffer-zone restrictions. The commission included signage and boundary notification as a condition of the Negative Determination.
The determination carries an appeal period of 10 days before it becomes final; the applicant said he would provide required documentation and disclosures to the building department.
