Commission issues partial certificate for 6 Baker Way, leaving plantings as outstanding condition
Summary
After the owner of 6 Baker Way apologized for missed mitigation, installed a post‑and‑rail fence and proposed a planting plan, the commission voted to issue a partial certificate of compliance while leaving the remaining plantings and monitoring as outstanding conditions to be completed next spring.
Ernie Nickoli, owner of the property at 6 Baker Way, asked the commission for a certificate of compliance on Dec. 18 and apologized for not completing required mitigation earlier. Nickoli explained that a boat had been parked on part of the site and that he had since installed a split‑rail fence and offered to complete plantings.
Town staff and commissioners discussed options to allow the sale of the property to proceed while ensuring mitigation occurs. The commission noted it does not maintain an escrow account for such cases and suggested a partial certificate of compliance with a condition that the outstanding plantings be installed by the buyer or secured via escrow between buyer and seller. The commission voted to issue a partial certificate; one commissioner declined (recused) from the vote.
Next steps: staff to issue a partial certificate of compliance listing the outstanding planting requirements and monitoring obligations; owner or buyer must satisfy planting and monitoring conditions to receive full certification.
