Wareham commission approves RDA allowing Diana Dawson to replace shed in same footprint
Summary
The commission accepted the agent's recommendation (Negative 2 and Negative 6) and approved replacement of a shed for Diana Dawson at the same footprint; commissioners closed the hearing and told the applicant to see the agent for documentation.
The Wareham Conservation Commission voted to accept the conservation agent’s recommendation and approved a Request for Determination of Applicability (RDA) allowing Diana Dawson to replace a shed in the same location and size as the previous structure.
Diana Dawson told the commission the original shed had been removed recently; she said she would be replacing it with a structure of the same footprint. Agent Christine recommended a Negative 2 and Negative 6 determination, indicating the proposed work is not subject to certain jurisdictional requirements under the bylaw and state Wetlands Protection Act in the agent’s assessment.
After brief questions about a fire pit on the property and confirmation that the proposed shed is a like‑for‑like replacement, the commission closed the hearing and voted by roll call in favor of the recommended determinations. The chair instructed Dawson to meet with the agent to complete the necessary documentation before beginning work.
The commission did not impose additional special conditions beyond the agent’s recommendation; the applicant was told to consult the agent for the approval paperwork.
