Summary

The commission closed a Request for Determination for a proposed garage at 45 Harvard Street and issued a negative determination while requiring the homeowner to return with a Notice of Intent addressing previously unpermitted activities in the 100‑foot buffer and a separate cease‑and‑desist follow‑up.

At the 45 Harvard Street RDA, Rebecca (Silver Engineering) acknowledged the homeowner had undertaken unpermitted activities in the 100‑foot buffer and said the homeowner "has agreed" to an after‑the‑fact filing. Dan Levesque, the conservation agent, confirmed the wetland flags were found and recommended issuing a cease‑and‑desist for yard‑clipping dumping near the buffer and a subsequent NOI to address prior work.

The commission closed the RDA hearing and then voted to issue a negative determination on the current RDA with a condition that the owner return with the separate NOI addressing previous activities. The motion and roll‑call vote were recorded as aye; the agent will prepare enforcement letters and the NOI requirements for the next appearance.
