Conservation commission to seek DCR timeline, plan site visit after Forest Cutting Plan for 185 Union Road
Summary
The Town of Wales Conservation Commission reviewed a Forest Cutting Plan for 185 Union Road that proposes three stream crossings and asked the clerk to contact DCR; the commission said it will conduct a site visit if the property owner grants permission and scheduling allows.
The Town of Wales Conservation Commission reviewed a Forest Cutting Plan for 185 Union Road at its Feb. 26 meeting and noted the plan calls for three stream crossings. The body agreed it should inspect the property in person and asked the clerk, Sarah Ryan, to contact the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation for the project's timeline.
Commissioners said the site visit will proceed only if the property owner grants permission and time allows. No votes or formal approvals for the plan were taken at the meeting; the action recorded was a directive for staff follow-up to determine scheduling and regulatory context.
The Forest Cutting Plan (FCP) was discussed as a preliminary review item; commissioners did not alter the plan during the session and did not request specific amendments at that time. If DCR or the property owner imposes conditions, the commission indicated it will reconvene or schedule a site visit to assess potential impacts on the waterways and adjacent land.
