Preserve at SM permit transfer and five-year extension approved, with prior conditions retained
Summary
The commission approved transfer of the Preserve at SM wetlands permit to AA Dunafrio Building and Development and extended the permit for five years, reiterating phased construction conditions (80% completion requirement before new phases).
The Inland Watercourse Commission approved the transfer and a five-year extension of permit 21-09W for the Preserve at SM project on West Lane and retained the original conditions tied to phasing.
Kony Denorthia, principal of AIG (Denorthia) Building and Development, told the commission the 102-acre site (with wetlands acreage discussed in the hearing) includes phased construction that originally carried conditions limiting clear-cutting and requiring phase-by-phase completion. He said the project had about 10,000 square feet of wetland impact for a box culvert and temporary impacts for sewer work, and described mitigation measures including plantings and invasive-species removal.
Staff and commissioners stressed that previous approvals and conditions would continue to apply, including the requirement that 80% of a phase be completed before opening further phases. The commission moved and seconded a motion to approve the transfer and grant a five-year extension; the motion passed on a voice vote. The transcript records discussion about enforcement and phasing but does not show a roll-call tally.
The decision carries forward existing mitigation and phasing requirements; staff noted performance-bond and inspection-reporting obligations remain in force and the developer is responsible for implementing required erosion-control and mitigation measures.
