Easton commission approves after‑the‑fact retaining wall at Bayberry Lane with enhanced silt‑fence and stability conditions
Summary
The Commission approved an after‑the‑fact application for a retaining wall at 30 Bayberry Lane to prevent erosion threatening a generator, imposing standard stipulations and four additional conditions requiring repair/addition of silt fences, relocation of gravel, and construction to achieve stability; vote 5–0 with one recusal.
At its May 12 meeting the Easton Conservation Commission approved application #26‑742, an after‑the‑fact submission from owner Janet Weinstock Isa to rebuild a retaining wall where erosion had endangered a yard and generator.
Commissioners noted degraded silt fencing on the site and directed the applicant to repair the existing silt fence, install a second silt fence to protect wetlands, install silt fencing where a proposed gazebo will be located, move gravel closer to the house, and build the retaining wall to a stable condition. The applicant said the retained gravel base for the gazebo would be placed on gravel and that a contractor had already been engaged.
Vice Chair Cathy Alfandre moved to approve the application with standard stipulations and the four additional conditions; the motion passed with five votes in favor and Commissioner Maria Corti recused.
The approval is conditional on the installation of the requested erosion‑control measures and typically will be monitored by the Wetlands Enforcement Officer until all stipulations are satisfied.
