Summary

The Commission voted 5–0 (one recusal) to issue a Certificate of Compliance for an earlier 2007 approval at 171 South Main Street, contingent on installing the remaining native blueberry hedgerow plants and compliance with ongoing conditions.

The Commission considered a request for a Certificate of Compliance for NOI 07‑42 at 171 South Main Street. Conservation Agent Charlotte Pechtl summarized the original 2007 approval (rear addition, shed removal, hazardous tree removal, and installation of ~30 native shrubs). Sanji Fernando recused from the review; Agent Pechtl reported roughly a dozen original blueberry shrubs remain on site and the applicant has purchased 18 additional blueberries to meet the mitigation requirement.

Applicant Michael Milanowski stated he would install the remaining plantings promptly prior to property transfer and requested issuance of a Certificate of Compliance contingent on completion. The Commission voted to issue the Certificate contingent upon installation of the remaining required plantings and continued applicability of standard ongoing conditions (survival/replacement requirements and prohibition on herbicide use); the motion passed 5–0 with Commissioner Fernando recused.

The Commission recorded the contingency clearly so that issuance is tied to completion of the plantings and ongoing permit conditions.
