Commission approves amendment to 29 Miami Avenue order to add invasive‑plant removal and revised mitigation
Summary
The commission approved an amended order of conditions for 29 Miami Avenue (Crowley), accepting a revised plan that moves the house slightly, adds restoration area, and includes voluntary English ivy eradication and native shrub plantings; commissioners voted to amend the existing order (D‑4722).
Tom Bunker (PSS Design) and Maria Hickeyi presented an amended order of conditions for 29 Miami Avenue that shifts the house slightly toward the road, expands restoration area along the bank, and replaces dense English ivy with native shrubs in the restored area. Bunker explained the plan refinements and that the change allowed an added mitigation strip on the bank.
Maria Hickeyi described the invasive‑species removal as a voluntary benefit to the site: English ivy removal will reduce canopy strangulation and be replaced with native wetland shrubs. The applicants relocated one replacement tree to the center of the bank and retained two other native trees that had been proposed earlier.
Commissioners expressed support for the revised mitigation and invasive removal. The commission moved to amend the existing order of conditions (file D‑4722) for the Crowley property and approved the amendment by roll call.
Next steps: the amended order will be recorded and the applicants will undertake the invasive species removal and plant the approved restoration palette under staff supervision.
