Summary

The Conservation Commission approved a Small Project Permit for alterations to the driveway at 40 Bunker Hill Road with conditions requiring pervious materials, erosion controls and pre/post inspections; Commissioner Linda Riley recused as owner and the motion passed 5–0.

Chair Hughes and other commissioners emphasized sediment controls; Hughes recommended silt‑soxx, pervious materials and pre‑ and post‑construction inspections by the Conservation Agent.
