Lowell conservation commission rescinds enforcement order at 55 Shawmut Ave.
Summary
The Lowell Conservation Commission voted to rescind an enforcement order issued to property owner Paulo Ferrera at 55 Shawmut Ave after city staff supplied compliance photos showing remediation.
The Lowell Conservation Commission voted to rescind an enforcement order for work at 55 Shawmut Ave that had been issued to property owner Paulo Ferrera for fill placement, regrading and shed construction within a FEMA 100-year floodplain and the 100-foot buffer zone of a protected wetland.
The rescission followed receipt of compliance photos submitted by Peter in the conservation office. The presiding officer told the commission the images “show what seems to be substantial compliance” and a motion to rescind was made and seconded. The commission approved the motion by voice vote.
The enforcement order originally cited filling, removal, and regrading in a regulated buffer and the construction of a shed. The transcript record shows the commission relied on the documentation supplied by staff in the office to assess whether the outstanding violations had been addressed. The enforcement order was rescinded at the meeting with a vote in favor; commissioners recorded vocal “aye” responses when asked.
The commission did not record additional conditions on the record at the time of rescission, and the transcript did not include further details about follow-up inspections or a timeline for any remaining work.
The commission moved on to other agenda items after rescinding the order.
