After brief discussion, a motion was made
by Karl Walton, seconded by Lise Wood and unanimously voted to approve Roulier

15 Horseshoe Lane, with the condition that a pre-construction meeting be held

b.
Discussion/Possible Decision:
Wetlands Application #539, In-ground pool in Upland Review Area, 4
Somerset Lane (Laakso Property), Julianao’s Pools
Joan Formeister
explained that David Askew has no issues with this application. A motion was made by Lise Wood, seconded
by Dan Fraro and unanimously voted to approve Julianao’s Pools’ application #539
for an inground pool in an upland review area at 4 Somerset
Lane.
c.
Discussion/Possible Decision:
Wetlands Application #540, New House in Upland Review Area, 1027 Main
Street, Warren
Upon reviewing the plans, discussion
followed that the brook is very close to where the home is planned and that it
is important to permanently delineate the wetlands. Concern was expressed that a split rail
fence may not be permanent or adequate as a buffer. It was the consensus of the Commission
that permanent markers be used.
A motion was made by Karl Walton,
seconded by Lise Wood and unanimously voted to approve Warren’s application #540
for a new house in an upland review area at 1027 Main Street with the following
conditions: 1. A pre-construction meeting is to be held
with the Wetland’s Agent to discuss erosion control. 2.
The wetlands are to be permanently marked from WB 27 through WB 31, with
badges affixed. 3. Split rail fence is to be erected along
the edge of the clearing limit as shown on the plan. 4.
No clearing is to take place within 25 feet of the
wetland.
Frank
Cicciarella from Frank’s Landscaping presented revised plans. He has discussed the plantings with
David Askew and has removed the path from around the pond. The outlet pipe will be raised so that
the pond will take in more water.
To protect the vernal pool activity, Mr. Askew has asked that no changes
be made in the water level until he has given approval. It is estimated that Mr. Askew will give
approval in Mid-July.
A motion was
made by Henry Broer, seconded by Lise Wood and unanimously voted to approve
Whiteley’s application #541 for work around a pond and wetlands at 17 Orchard
View with the condition that no change is to be made to the water level until
approval is received from the Wetlands Agent.
A motion was
made by Lise Wood, seconded by Dan Fraro and unanimously voted to adjourn the
April 19, 2006 Conservation Commission meeting at 8:00
p.m.
Respectfully
submitted,
Lise Wood,
Secretary
