Summary

Owners of 38 Island Park Road said they installed pavers and a handicap ramp; the commission noted possible unpermitted work in jurisdiction, required erosion controls remain, and asked staff to schedule a site visit and contact the prior conservation agent.

Susan and Tyler Gross appeared to propose paver installation and landscaping on the marsh side of their house at 38 Island Park Road and to seek a Small Project Permit. Chair Jennifer Hughes said work appears to have taken place in Conservation Commission jurisdiction without a permit and recommended that existing erosion controls stay in place until the area is stabilized.

Commissioner Karin Hawkinson moved to continue the matter to July 22, 2026 to allow for a site visit; Commissioner Stone seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Interim Agent Lillian Abbott was directed to schedule an ICC site visit and to contact former Conservation Agent Mary Lester to clarify any prior discussions with the owners.
