Otis Commission ratifies enforcement orders after unauthorized topsoil placement; deadlines set for remediation
Summary
The Conservation Commission ratified enforcement orders for Otis Island, LLC over topsoil placed in the 100‑ft buffer at Hayre Island Road and for the Randalls for work beyond the permitted time limits; orders require immediate remediation steps and attendance at future meetings.
The Conservation Commission on May 26 ratified enforcement orders addressing apparent buffer‑zone violations.
The minutes record that Otis Island, LLC (52 Hayre Island Rd.) had topsoil dropped within the 100‑foot buffer of Otis Reservoir without Commission approval. The Commission voted to ratify an enforcement order requiring the property owner to cease work, cover all materials, and install a silt fence and waddles around the topsoil pile within 48 hours of May 21, 2026; the owner was also required to appear before the Commission. The Commission similarly ratified an order for Kevin and Lori Randall for work performed outside the time limits of a 2022 RDA. Chair Dave Sarnacki moved to ratify the order and the motions passed unanimously.
The orders establish concrete remediation steps and a near‑term compliance timeline; the minutes record the 48‑hour remediation requirement tied to the May 21, 2026 notice. The Commission will revisit compliance at a future meeting if necessary.
