Commission warns developer over unresolved erosion, says town may involve attorney
Summary
Commissioners expressed frustration with ongoing erosion and mud runoff at the East Street North site, saying prior commitments were not kept; the developer (Mr. Zachary) attributed delays to contractor issues and promised sod and topsoil by Friday, while the Commission said it would bill for consultant time and may notify the Town Attorney if problems persist.
The Commission discussed ongoing soil erosion and mud runoff at the East Street North development and said the developer had previously committed to corrective action but had not followed through. Commissioners noted multiple complaints from neighbors and that the approved plan has not been followed as agreed.
Mr. Zachary attributed the delays to contractor problems and told the Commission he would install sod and topsoil by Friday to address erosion concerns. Commissioners instructed that the Town would issue bills for the Conservation Commission’s consultant services related to the matter and said the Town Attorney would be notified if the issues were not corrected immediately; they also said further investigation would check whether a bond is in place for the property.
The minutes record the Commission’s disappointment with the lack of action and direct the consultant to continue enforcement oversight.
