Commission issues certificate for Union Avenue, hears trail grant and vandalism reports
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to issue a Certificate of Compliance for 173 Union Avenue, heard that OARS received a $40,000 Sudbury Foundation grant for drainage and a rain garden on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, and discussed bow hunting, vandalism at Tipping Rock and meeting cadence for 2025.
At the Oct. 7 meeting the Sudbury Conservation Commission unanimously issued a Certificate of Compliance for work at 173 Union Avenue after Coordinator Lori Capone reported that septic, deck, patio and landscaping work had been completed in line with the Order of Conditions and that the two‑year mitigation plantings had survived.
Capone also updated commissioners that bow hunting had started for the season and that staff had observed vandalism and a party site with propane tanks and an ATV track at Tipping Rock, which will require follow up. She said OARS had received a $40,000 grant from the Sudbury Foundation to improve drainage and install a rain garden on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail at Morse Road. Commissioners discussed the 2025 meeting schedule and favored keeping the current every‑other‑week cadence to ensure hearings can be scheduled within the 21‑day requirement for permit applications.
No formal motions were recorded beyond the Certificate of Compliance and previously noted continuances and votes.
