At its April 20 meeting the commission elected Angela Jameson chair and Sandy Redden secretary, scheduled a May 6 site visit for 266 Michigan Road, and received staff updates on recent permits and website usability improvements.
The New Canaan Inland Wetlands Commission conducted its annual organizational business at the start of the April 20 meeting and then handled routine administrative items.
Elections: Commissioners nominated Angela Jameson to continue as chair and Sandy Redden to continue as secretary; both were confirmed in voice/hand votes with Jameson abstaining from the chair vote. The secretary then called roll: present were Angela Jameson, Sandy Renheim/Redden, Don Masterardi, Beth Sanford, Philip Williams, Tom Collingham and Katie Alsley; Beth Brunali, Dan Stuponic and Adam Ramirez were absent.
Applications and site visit: Staff announced application 26‑9 for 266 Michigan Road (demolition of small bridges and a gazebo, tree mitigation and stabilization). The commission scheduled a site visit for May 6 at 7:30 a.m., with the application to be calendared for the May 18 meeting if complete.
Agent's report and website work: The wetlands agent reported three recent permits issued this spring (including pool and residential reconfiguration work) and said inspections are ongoing. Staff also described website enhancements to improve public access: clearer homepage buttons for GIS and permitting, a new FEMA map page, and a plan to remove outdated resources to make the land‑use content easier to navigate.
The commission adjourned after voting on the Waven Park permit and completing the agenda.
