Falmouth Conservation Commission accepts staff recommendations, continues several hearings to Sept. 25
Summary
At its Sept. 11 meeting the Commission unanimously approved staff recommendations on multiple RDAs and NOIs, continued several hearings to Sept. 25 (including Wings Pond for a DEP number), and granted a one-year extension for an existing order of conditions (DEP#25-4556).
The Town of Falmouth Conservation Commission on Sept. 11 accepted a series of staff recommendations on routine requests for determinations and notices of intent, moved several cases to a Sept. 25 continuation list, and granted a one-year extension for a delayed order of conditions.
The Commission voted unanimously to accept minutes from Aug. 21 and Aug. 28. The Commission then accepted staff recommendations (negative 3 state / negative 2 bylaw where noted) for a sequence of RDAs and site-specific applications: Leonard Romeo (11 Avenue A) — negative 3/negative 2; Bonnie W. Simon (138–144 Gardner Road) — negative 3/negative 2 tied to MassDEP file 25-4512; Claudette Rotino (356 Showa Drive) — negative 2; Steven & Lorraine Barilaro (36C Alder Lane) — negative 3/negative 2. Several notice-of-intent matters were continued at the applicants’ request (including the O'Neil application at 103 Shore Drive and others) to Sept. 25 to allow additional materials to be submitted or revised plans to be prepared.
Commissioners also reviewed larger-scale NOIs and projects presented that evening. Mark Dibb (Capen Islands Engineering) presented proposals including a replacement house and septic at 134 Edgewater Drive East and a replacement dwelling at 33 Martin Road; commissioners generally supported staff recommendations and required revised planting or buffer plans before building permits would be signed. Tim Santos and Maria Hickey presented plant lists and spacing corrections for 125 Little Neck Bars Road; staff requested plan edits for spacing and species selections prior to final sign-off.
Finally, the Commission approved a one-year extension for an existing order of conditions for the estate of Mary A. Nickerson (DEP#25-4556), citing pandemic-related delays. The meeting adjourned after unanimous vote.
