Otis Conservation Commission approves multiple shoreline and lakeside RDAs
Summary
At its May 26 meeting the Otis Conservation Commission unanimously issued -3 determinations with standard conditions for several Request for Determination of Applicability filings affecting the Otis Reservoir and adjacent waterways, covering work at Route 8, Kibbe Road and Circle Drive.
The Town of Otis Conservation Commission voted unanimously on May 26 to grant -3 determinations with standard conditions for multiple property projects within riverfront and reservoir buffer zones.
Chair Dave Sarnacki moved to approve the determinations, saying, "Dave made a motion to grant a -3 determination with standard conditions." The motion passed with all members voting in favor. The approvals covered an application filed by Amer Raza on behalf of Francisca Heming for about 160 feet of paved waterway at Route 8 and projects filed by Chaffee Construction on behalf of David Watson (74 Kibbe Rd.) and James and Susan Wall (25 Circle Dr.).
Commission members described these as routine permitting decisions tied to the Protection of buffer functions along the Otis Reservoir and associated waterways. The determinations impose the Commission's standard conditions for work in the buffer zone; the minutes do not list additional special measures for the Watson or Wall projects. The Commission's next meeting is scheduled for June 16, 2026; applicants must submit materials by June 3 at 3:00 p.m.
