Summary

Multiple notices of intent — including 121 Wickfield Street and a utility crossing at 994 Jefferson — were continued or tabled pending additional materials; staff also updated the commission on long‑running enforcement issues and next steps.

The commission heard status updates on outstanding enforcement orders and several notices of intent that staff recommended tabling until outstanding items are resolved. Insight Engineering requested another one‑month continuance for a project at 121 Wickfield Street (S C‑24‑847) and staff recommended tabling. A utility work item at 994 Jefferson was flagged because the proposal crosses land owned by Fall River City; Liberty Utilities has begun discussions with the Law Department and the commission tabled the item pending evidence of acquired access.

Staff also updated commissioners on an enforcement matter at 294 Fieldstone Lane that had been the subject of an order years earlier; restoration work and plantings were required and staff recommended certificate issuance after confirming substantial compliance. Commissioners emphasized the need to contact landowners and to track items that remain open for more than a few months.
