After‑the‑fact work at 15 Schaeffer Road flagged for restoration; commission requests reflagging
Summary
The commission reviewed an after‑the‑fact permit for work at 15 Schaeffer Road (owner Peter Forchetti), concluded the disturbed area enters wetlands and must be restored, and asked the owner to reflag wetlands so the commission can inspect the site.
During new business on Dec. 15, Chris Sullivan led commissioners in reviewing an after‑the‑fact submission for 15 Schaeffer Road attributed to owner Peter Forchetti.
Commissioners said the application shows a new disturbed area that extends into the wetlands and that disturbed wetland areas must be restored. Sullivan asked why the work proceeded without a permit; the record reflects the commission’s concern and its directive that the disturbed area be recreated with wetland flags so the commission can inspect the site before approving restoration measures.
The commission suggested flagging wetland flags 16 through 13 for re‑creation and said a site inspection should occur once weather allows and flags are visible. No final permit approval or fines were recorded at the meeting; the commission instructed staff to arrange the reflagging and a field inspection.
