Summary

A site walk for the proposed dog pound revisions was scheduled for September 1 at 3:00 PM pending confirmation. Staff will ask the project contact to stake out the building footprint and mark the wetland buffer.

The Essex Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission scheduled a site walk for September 1 at 3:00 PM to review the proposed changes to the town dog pound and animal control office.

"A site walk was scheduled for September 1st at 3:00 PM (pending scheduling confirmation with R Doane). C Duques stated that she would ask him to state out the area of the building as well as where the buffer starts and stops," the minutes say. Carey Duques told the commission she will ask the contact to stake the proposed building area and mark the wetland buffer lines so commissioners can view the on-the-ground relationships between the structure and the wetlands.

The site walk is contingent on confirmation with R. Doane and follows staff direction that a revised application is required before a public hearing can be scheduled. The commission did not take a formal vote on the project design during the meeting; the site walk is a next-step fact-finding action recorded in the minutes.
