Conservation commission approves staff compliance findings, working draft climate rules and completes annual reorganization
Summary
The commission found multiple Certificates of Compliance in order, approved a working draft of the climate resilience regulations for broader review, and elected Gerry Wunder as chair, Ken Johnson as vice chair and **** Hillmer as clerk.
The Conservation Commission reviewed a series of certificates of compliance and routine COC items for work completed within local resource areas and Pleasant Bay ACEC. After staff reported on site inspections, the commission voted to find the projects at 645 South Orleans Road (several DEP filings), 10 Toohy/Tohey Lane and other properties in compliance.
The commission also approved a working draft of proposed climate resilience (land subject to coastal storm flowage) regulations to circulate among town departments and for public review; members said the draft will be refined with further legal and staff review.
In annual reorganizational votes, commissioners nominated and approved Gerry Wunder as commission chair, Ken Johnson as vice chair and **** Hillmer as clerk. The commission also appointed representatives to the Preservation Committee and the Waste Water Management Advisory Committee.
Why it matters: housekeeping votes conclude long‑running enforcement and permit compliance matters and the working draft of climate resilience regulations signals a process toward updated local performance standards for land subject to coastal storm flowage.
Next steps: staff to circulate the climate resilience draft for review, perform follow‑up inspections as required for COCs, and update commission membership lists and committee assignments.
