Commission upholds enforcement order at 7 Laurel Drive; asks owners to submit mitigation plan
Summary
At a show‑cause hearing the commission upheld the enforcement order for unpermitted work at 7 Laurel Drive and continued the matter to allow owners to provide a mitigation plan crafted with a soil scientist; staff emphasized restoration, erosion control and monitoring requirements.
The commission heard an update on a show‑cause enforcement action at 7 Laurel Drive and voted to uphold the enforcement order while giving owners time to submit a mitigation plan.
Owners represented (speaker 14) reported they had engaged a soil scientist and planned to submit a planting and grading plan to address prior unpermitted clearing and drainage changes near a swale. Kate reported on earlier site visits and interim restoration work, and the commission asked for documentation of proposed plantings and a clear schedule to complete restoration. The commission voted to uphold the enforcement order and continue the matter to the August meeting to allow the owners to provide the requested materials and for staff to inspect interim repairs.
The commission emphasized the need to stabilize disturbed soils, replace lost vegetation with suitable native species where appropriate, and provide an invasive‑species control plan given the scale of the clearing.
