Summary

The Commission granted a -3 determination to allow removal of fallen/leaning trees at 105 Reservoir Rd., conditioned that no further cutting occur unless trees are leaning and broken.

The Commission took up a follow-up RDA for 105 Reservoir Rd. (Map 17 Lot 21) submitted by Maxine Nogard, regarding removal of fallen and leaning trees that posed a hazard to the home and lie within the Farmington River buffer zone. Domenic Battista moved to issue a -3 determination with the special condition that no further cutting is permitted unless trees are leaning and broken; Commissioner Jeff Laramy seconded and the Commission voted unanimously to grant the -3 with that condition.

The condition limits future tree work to only those trees that present an immediate hazard, preserving other vegetation within the buffer. The Commission recorded the determination and special condition in the file for the property.
