The Inland Wetlands & Watercourses Commission on Feb. 3 unanimously approved an application by Jackson Xenelis to extend an existing driveway that crosses a wetland at West Pond Meadow Road (Tax Assessor Map 131, Lot 019).
The commission recorded that the extension will be outside the wetland itself but within the 100‑foot regulated wetland buffer. The driveway is described in the application as approximately 12 feet wide, to be surfaced with crushed stone. The applicant committed to installing silt fences around wetlands while construction work is under way.
Environmental implications were considered in the discussion and the commission moved directly to a vote. Janice Panella moved to approve the application; Vincent Neri seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
