Part: 1

1
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:58.719
Heat. Heat. Good evening. Welcome to the May 6, 2026 meeting of the Falmouth Conservation Commission. This meeting is being held virtually via Zoom video conference and all is also being broadcast by FCTV on

2
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:14.560
cable channel 9 at this meeting. As this meeting is being recorded by Zoom and broadcast by FCTV, please be cognizant of what you say, how you say it, and what can be seen and heard in your background. We are missing a couple of commissioners. However, we have a quorum

3
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:31.600
and we are moving forward. I would like to remind the commissioners that for commenting I will call on each of you in turn. So please refrain from speaking or re or speaking over each other. Also all votes are done by roll call. So when I call your name please state your name and your vote for the

4
00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:47.040
record even if you made the motion or second. To our public attendees at any time during the meeting you may enter any comments or questions via the chat function at the approp at the appropriate time. They will be read into the record. If as an attendee you'd like to

5
00:01:47.040 --> 00:02:03.680
participate in a particular hearing and let us know via the chat function. Then at the appropriate time you'll be prompted into the hearing as a participant. When you are selected you must have your video enabled. Be succinct and respectful of others. Public comments will be limited to three minutes each.

6
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:19.280
Regarding RDAs, under a request for determination of applicability, the applicant is asking the commission to determine if the provisions of the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and/or the Fmouth Wetlands bylaws apply to their proposed project. A negative

7
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:35.360
determination is that the provisions of the act and/or bylaws do not apply. Therefore, the project may proceed as proposed. A positive determination means the provisions of the act and/or bylaws do in fact apply and or may require some

8
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:52.400
conditions. Therefore, the project would require a notice of intent application. So, as an applicant, you want to hear a negative determination. And for the benefit of anybody waiting for a particular hearing, the following hearings are expected to be continued.

9
00:02:52.400 --> 00:03:09.760

00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:38.320
mitigation plantings. Alyssa >> staff recommends a negative three under the state and a negative two under the bylaw. Resource area boundaries are not confirmed. These negative determinations indicate that the work described in this RDA is within an area subject to protection, but will not remove, fill, dredge, or alter the area. Therefore,

26
00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:48.960
the Fmouth Conservation Commission are held simultaneously under the authorities of the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act and the Falmouth Wetlands Bylaw. Although a single decision of the commission is issued, it represents a separate decision under each authority. As a

27
00:07:48.960 --> 00:08:04.720
reminder, public commenting is limited to three minutes. So I encourage you to stay within the purview of this board which are the rules and regulations of the wetlands protection act and the found wetlands bylaw and how they pertain to a particular application. The chair reserves the right to stop any

28
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:21.680
commenting that disparaging or inconsequential to the hearing. Please note that all correspondence received by the conservation department is forwarded to all commissioners and becomes part of the record. We will not read each and every letter we receive at a hearing. Remember, our jurisdiction is

29
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:38.000
that of the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act and and the Falmouth Wetland bylaws, not zoning, health, or building. So, first up for a request under notice of intent is Robert Robert Franklin West, 380 Wild Harbor Road, Fmouth,

0 and 41 Vessels Road map parcel 36-06-000000-00 Falmouth Mass for permission to create a stone sitting area at the base of an existing timber access stairs. Jen. >> Yes, Mr. Chairman. I have promoted Jake

40
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:50.880
Fky from Cape Engineering to present his project. Good evening, Jake. All right. Uh, good evening. For the record, uh, my name is Jake Pricky. I'm a professional land surveyor with Caven Islands Engineering representing the homeowner for a project on Beckles Road.

41
00:11:50.880 --> 00:12:15.760
And Bill, with your permission, we're about to share my screen. It's >> all you. should be able to see on the screen now. We've filed a notice of intent application for the proposed construction of a beach sitting area

42
00:12:15.760 --> 00:12:32.000
along the shoreline of this property which is in this zone right here in green. This project is proposed on a parcel on the northerly side of Beckles Road which is located just to the east of the old Cape Cotter Hotel for geographical

43
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:47.920
reference. The surrounding resources include land under the ocean and land containing shellfish within Buzzard's Bay itself, land subject to tidal action, rocky intertital shore, a rocky coastal beach, coastal bank, land subject coastal flowage which is

44
00:12:47.920 --> 00:13:05.680
velocity 25 AE15 and X and the limit of moderate wave action followed that velocity zone line. The project is proposed on a developed parcel which is about 2 acres and there is an existing uh dwelling and driveway and carriage house which are under

45
00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:26.240
construction permitted through this commission on a previous application D file number 25-5002. For this application, we are proposing to create a 10x 22 foot sitting area set at approximately elevation 5.3 and

46
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:41.839
located at the base of the existing timber stairs. The design incorporates existing natural borders of boulders that are along this beach is if you've been to the site, you saw that this is a very rocky beach along the shoreline. Um

47
00:13:41.839 --> 00:13:58.079
and it will reorganize these and cut them to construct a a rock platform. The boulders will be moved by manual methods to cut and fit them together and existing or imported uh 3/4 to 1 and a half inch native stone will be used to

48
00:13:58.079 --> 00:14:15.040
level the platform between these larger stones. Any imported material will be approved to by the town prior to that action. Equipment that may be used during the construction will consist of the standard traditional rock splitting tools like feather and wedge and

49
00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:31.360
hammers. Other winches, jacks, pry bars, ratchet tools, etc. for moving the midsize boulders into place. Access is going to be gained to the site by way of the existing timber stairs

50
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:48.880
and the adjacent path. uh at any temporary storage that could potentially be needed would be located within the lawn area up above the set of steps. Uh staff has reviewed this project and had no comments and we believe the

51
00:14:48.880 --> 00:15:05.040
project meets the performance standards per the state and local bylaws and we request the commission issue an order of conditions for the work as proposed. At this point, I'll stop sharing my screen and be happy to answer one of the questions. >> Thanks, Jake. Jen.

52
00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:21.839
>> Yes, Mr. Chairman. Jake, you said it it's all going to be done by hand. >> That's correct. >> Even cutting the boulders. >> Yeah. I mean, I I don't know how much you know about cutting rocks, but um

53
00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:39.279
>> I don't that's why I'm asking. >> They'll drill a bunch of holes in the bracket. >> Oh, yeah. You You You've probably seen rocks that were cut in the past. There's there's a row of of holes and you put into each of those holes something called a feather and a wedge. There's there's and and you and you go along the

54
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:55.759
line and you tap and eventually the the pressure of all those feathers pops the rock in half. It's it's it's actually really cool that it works because otherwise you it would take an enormous saw to cut a giant rock in half but you can just do it from the edge. >> Interesting. Thank you for explaining

55
00:15:55.759 --> 00:16:11.120
that. I was wondering how they were going to do that and I I neglected to ask your colleague Mark on site like how they were going to do it. So I appreciate the explanation Jake. Thank you. That's all Mr. Chairman. >> Certainly. >> Anything to add, Alyssa? >> Not at this time. Thank you.

56
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:27.040
>> You're welcome. All right. I'll take commissioner questions. Ron. >> Yeah, I it's a great idea how to, you know, at first blush to take a look at all those wild rocks and turn it into something useful with it with the same material. But the next step is uh it's called a sitting area. Jake, what are

57
00:16:27.040 --> 00:16:43.120
they gonna sit on? >> Uh probably they're gonna sit on their towels or >> on the rocks. >> I don't know. >> Well, I just I'm getting to the point where, you know, if the sitting area, I'm thinking chairs. They got to bring chairs down that 30-foot bank. And no

58
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:58.880
one's want to no one's going to want to bring them back up every time they go up and down to sit on that sit on that patio. I just want to make sure we don't say here's a sitting area. Go ahead and you can use it and use chairs. And then now for you leaving stuff on the beach, storing stuff on the beach. I don't want to start that.

59
00:16:58.880 --> 00:17:15.039
>> I I understand your concern. I think that um you know many many people who have coastal access like this end up carrying their stuff up and down regularly because the you know the the weather exposure is significant. And um

60
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:30.960
you know I've you and I you and I and everyone else have seen umbrellas and lawn chairs go flying across the beach and Okay. Well, thanks. Just just want to make sure that they that's there. Maybe it'll be a condition or something that they remove them

61
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:48.000
>> daily or when the weather's threatening, whatever. But anyway, thank you, Jake. >> Certainly. >> Thanks, Ron. Dan. >> Yeah, just just to that point, since I live on the water, I can tell you how many people leave stuff out there because I'm cleaning it up all the time when it flows up in my yard.

62
00:17:48.000 --> 00:18:04.480
It happens a lot. Um, I guess I don't have any real issues. I just didn't know whether we whether we needed approval from anybody else on this one because it's right on the water. I don't know if this is one of these things that has restrictions for work being done at low tide or whether it has other

63
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:21.440
restrictions. I just I I'm just don't know. So, I'm asking. My my understanding is that the work is entirely above uh hot mean high water and so there there shouldn't there shouldn't really be any inundation

64
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:37.280
events associated with whatever the title condition may be when they're doing the work. >> Okay, that's all I had. Thank you. >> Thank you, Ronnie. >> I have no questions. Thank you, >> Dave.

65
00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:53.520
I just have one question just out of interest. Um Jake, will will some uh especially high tides cover this patio? >> It's pretty close. >> Uh let's see. I don't I don't think um

66
00:18:53.520 --> 00:19:11.679
let's see. Mean mean high water is at elevation two. And so I think and this we're saying the top of this is at elevation five. Mhm. >> So, uh in obviously in uh extreme flood

67
00:19:11.679 --> 00:19:28.880
events, you know, 100year storms, you know, this patio and the steps and the entire bank are going to be underwater, but in normal tidal conditions, I don't anticipate it will get wet. >> Okay, that was just a question of interest. Thank you. It's all I have.

68
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:43.679
>> Thank you. And uh >> Go ahead. >> Yep. No, thanks, Jake. Looks good. I don't have any questions. >> I just have one one one quick question. Jake, if you said the elevation of mean

69
00:19:43.679 --> 00:20:02.799
high is two. The elevation of the sitting area is five and the average title range in in Buzzard's Bay is what? The average title range in in Buzzard's Bay is

70
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:20.120
like six or something, but but that's but that's between low and high. And this is another three feet above high. >> Yep. Okay. Okay. Got it. Okay. Thank you.

71
00:20:21.600 --> 00:20:38.320
>> All right. What's the pleasure of the commissioners? I was waiting for a public public chat, but okay. >> Oh, yes. Sorry. Anything in the chat, Jen? >> Nothing in the chat, Mr. Chairman. Sorry about that. >> Make a motion to close the hearing and take it under adisement. Driscoll. >> Roll in the second.

72
00:20:38.320 --> 00:20:54.640
>> Got a motion and a second to take the hair under advisement. Any questions? Seeing none, I'll call the role. Ron >> Dan >> Walsh. >> Ronnie >> Bulman. >> Dave. >> Panti.

73
00:20:54.640 --> 00:21:10.720
and DI motion passes to close the hearing and take it on revisement. Thank you, Jake. >> Certainly. Thank you all. Have a nice evening. >> Thank you. >> Next continued request for a hearing under a notice of intent town of Fmouth

74
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:25.840
Beach Department, Falmouth Beaches, Falmouth Mass for permission to implement the 2026 Fmouth beach management plan. Jen. >> Yes, Mr. Chairman. The applicants requested a continuance for um May 13th.

75
00:21:25.840 --> 00:21:43.120
We did not have natural heritage and endangered species comments and we received them at like 6:58 this evening. So we have them. We'll be able to to close the hearing next week, but it does need to be

76
00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:59.440
continue one. >> Motion to continue the hearing till 5 May 13th. M second. Have >> a motion and a second to continue this hearing till next week. Any questions? >> Seeing none, call roll. Ron,

77
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:14.240
>> Chrisai, >> Dan, >> Paul Shai, >> Ronnie, >> Bai, >> Dave, >> Dante, >> and Duffy. Motion passes to continue this hearing till 5:13.

78
00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:32.400
Next, Williams Goldberg Trust, 175 Edgewater Drive, East Found with Mass for after the fact permission to install a patio and retaining wall and for permission to install mitigation plantings, remove two decks, enlarge the driveway, and install a walkway. Jen.

79
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:54.320
>> Yes, Mr. Chairman. I am promoting Tom Mucker, BSS Design to present his continued project. Good evening, Tom. Tom, you're muted. Thought I clicked that. >> Can you hear me now? >> I can.

80
00:22:54.320 --> 00:23:10.960
>> Okay, good. Um, yeah. So two weeks ago I presented the pro project and the main the main uh uh problem with closing it was the the uh arrangement of the mitigation planting and and the fact

81
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:27.039
that there was a a fence going through the middle of it. So if I can uh share this I'll just briefly show you the plan. >> Go for it. And uh

82
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:58.640
let me see. Okay. Do you up there still? Do you see it? We can see it. >> Yep. It's little, Tom. >> Yeah. Yeah, it's little. Um, hold on a

83
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:42.559
second. I got to My screen is doing funny things just like last time. I'm going to I'm going to stop it and then try to share again. I'll make that bigger. Do you see it?

84
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:57.840
>> We do. It's a little bigger. >> Got it. Okay. Um I should change my setup so I only have one screen. At least I know where to find things. Uh so yeah, we have the uh existing conditions and there was a a

85
00:24:57.840 --> 00:25:14.799
patio built in the back and it went over um the uh that was a patio unp permitted patio there also a shed uh in the back. So we have the uh mitigation calculations and they the calculations

86
00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:32.720
haven't changed since then uh but what has changed is the arrangement of the mitigation. So I have here the uh labeler remove existing fence. The fence is already gone. They they took it down over this past weekend. Kind of jumped the gun. Uh so that label is moot. Uh

87
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:48.080
but we have so this this will be one well two but there's no fence between them. They wanted to retain a little uh access way up here in case for more tree work or something else might be required

88
00:25:48.080 --> 00:26:04.559
or for you know garden gardens garden garden things. There are some uh ornamental plants down in this area near the near the road and that will be transplanted and put up somewhere above the mitigation. Um other

89
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:22.640
comment I had the mitigation going right down to the property line which certainly in one location was too close to the pavement. So now I have all the mitigation will be at least 6 ft away from the edge of the pavement and it will not be uh divided by a fence. And

90
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:40.320
so those are the changes I've made. Take any questions you have. >> Thanks Tom Ken. Uh, no questions. So, I'm just like the fence shouldn't, you know, dissect our mitigation. So, you're good.

91
00:26:40.320 --> 00:26:56.640
>> Fence is gone. >> Fence is gone. >> Anything to add, Alyssa? >> Nope. Nothing to add. Thank you. >> All right, I'll open it up for commissioners. Ron, >> no. I think I'm all set. If the agents are happy, I'm happy. Thank you. Bye. All set,

existing order of conditions. Paul Lieberman and Rachel Nagger. Paul Lieberman 2015 revocable trust 24 Westwood Road Balmouth Mass request to amend order of conditions for mast number 25-4829

100
00:29:13.120 --> 00:29:28.080
to install restoration plantings. Jen. >> Yes, Mr. Chairman. I am promoting Sam Tim Santos up um to present the project.

101
00:29:28.080 --> 00:29:44.240
>> Tim, anyone else? No, it's just me. >> Okay. >> How's it going? Good evening. For the record, Tim Santos from Merill Engineers Lance representing the applicant. Uh, with your permission, I will share my screen.

102
00:29:44.240 --> 00:30:01.279
>> Go for it. >> All righty. Property is located at 24 Westwood Road in North Falmouth. Um currently developed an existing single family home decks uh gravel driveway pool in the rear lawn and landscaped

103
00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:17.679
areas. Resource areas on or within 100 ft of the property are a land on the ocean buzzards associated with Buzzards Bay coastal beach coastal bank and land subject to coastal storm flowage. This project was before you, I believe, three

104
00:30:17.679 --> 00:30:32.640
years ago in 2023. An order of conditions was issued for some invasive removal in this uh FWR zone back here, as well as an expansion of the lawn area, installation of bank, and some

105
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:49.679
native plantings. This past winter in December, we were hired to do a compliance for the owner because he's in the process of trying to sell a home. And um once we did the survey, we noticed that the fence was inadvertently installed. I'm

106
00:30:49.679 --> 00:31:05.840
going to say about 8 ft seawward of where it was supposed to be uh with some lawn. So we made them aware of that. Uh they've moved it. They've removed the lawn. We were having conversations with staff and trying to figure out the best way to move forward. And it was noted

107
00:31:05.840 --> 00:31:22.000
that an amendment would be required because there was uh much more removal of vegetation in the in the FWR zone than what was approved. So we created a restoration plan and

108
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:38.799
filed an amendment. Um this restoration plan that I'm showing here is a little different than the one you have because we just filed it today in response to staff's comment. So, I know Jen and Alyssa need time to review it. So, I'm going to assume I need a continuence,

109
00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:53.760
but that was just a conversation that took place a little while ago. So, I'm hoping that we can have some conversation tonight and then hopefully continue it to next week, the 13th, if possible. Um, in response to like staff

110
00:31:53.760 --> 00:32:09.840
comments, I know they were asking for an updated tree survey. So, this plan now shows the existing trees that are out there. has also asked that we change some of the proposed uh restoration planting, swap them out for different native

111
00:32:09.840 --> 00:32:25.679
shrubs, which we've done. And then there's some other comments in regard to the invasive removal, the treatment that took place, how it's doing, if more needs to be done. Um, and then I think there was a comment in regard to the

112
00:32:25.679 --> 00:32:43.200
Vista Carter that was previously there. We've removed it. If the new owner wants a Vista, they'll need to come back and we will apply under a new application to that and talk about a Vista at that time. Um, so I'll address any comments you might

113
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:59.519
have, but I know I need to continue it. So, I would just request next week if possible. Jan, you want me to leave this up or take it down? >> Um, you can take it down. All right. All right. Thanks, Tim.

114
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:14.559
Jen, >> thank you, Tim. Yes, I mean, I do believe the applicants and the representatives have attempted to address the staff's concern. We just haven't we didn't have time to review it today. Um, looks like we're on our way

115
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:30.559
there with that tree inventory being put on there. Tim, um, Alyssa, will you have time to evaluate this by next week or? Yeah, it looks like um everything Tim said will address um my questions on the plan. So, I can have that looked at. No problem.

116
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:46.240
>> Thank you. >> Yep. >> That's all we have for right now. We just haven't had a chance to review the plan. >> Excellent. I will uh take staff comments if they wish right now. Ron, >> no. I don't have any comments right now. Thank you. >> Dave,

117
00:33:46.240 --> 00:34:01.039
same. No comments. >> Dan, >> nope. No comments. Ronnie, >> no comment >> and none for myself either. So, I'll accept a motion to continue.

118
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:17.839
>> Do we can we continue to the 13th, Jen? >> Yes. >> All right. We'll make a motion to continue the um amended exist for a hearing for amended existing order conditions till May 13th. Driscoll >> second. >> Thank you, Jen. Anything in the chat or

119
00:34:17.839 --> 00:34:32.800
because we're continuing it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, but there's nothing right now in the public chat, Mr. Chairman. >> Perfect. So, I get a motion and a second. Any questions to continue this hearing until May 13th?

120
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:52.960
All right, I'll call the roll. Ronnie, >> Dave, >> Dante, >> Dan, >> Ronnie, >> I >> defined. Thanks, Tim. >> Thank you for your time. Have a great night. Have a good weekend.

121
00:34:52.960 --> 00:35:08.800
>> We'll see you next week, Tim. >> Take care. Bye. >> All right. Vote orders of conditions. Beth M. Patrick 2010 trust 10 Dear Run Lane, Falmouth, Mass. Jen.

122
00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:34.880
>> Yes. This was Tim's project. And yes, so we're going to remove the ground floor deck, construct the larger deck, and the will include a threeseason room.

123
00:35:34.880 --> 00:35:51.960
Uh, we need to move the shed into the driveway area, reveate that, and they're proposing additional mitigation up near the stepping stones.

124
00:35:53.119 --> 00:36:14.320
I think that's it. Anything else to listen? No. No. So just I think they they already know that they're going they've already um agreed to move the shed. So it's just removing the shed, reveating and mitigation. >> All right. Any questions from the

125
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:29.839
commissioners? >> None for me. >> All right. >> Make a motion to issue an order of conditions as briefly discussed. >> Bman second. Got a motion and a second

128
00:37:03.520 --> 00:37:20.480
we got Mary Alice Carol 23 Zel Street Falmouth Mass. Jen >> uh that is the uh sheeping seaw wall. Um, we do have a time of year with DMF

129
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:36.240
as well as they would like to see a silk boom. Um, do believe they did something on that corner so they're going to be able to save the trees. And then the other wall that was of concern, I think Ronnie, you

130
00:37:36.240 --> 00:37:52.320
had a concern with the wall on the northern side of the property. They've decided to end that sheep piling before they touch that wall. Um so they took out they eliminated the northern portion of the seaw wall um and adjusted the the

131
00:37:52.320 --> 00:38:09.599
the southern portion of the seaw wall so that our concerns about the end of was it Westminster >> when it caught it that that wall at the end of the road won't won't collapse in and again just the DMF timing year

132
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:27.200
restrictions and their requirement for the silum which I believe was discussed at the hearing. >> Alyssa, anything to add? All right. Any questions from the commissioners? >> Not for me. >> All right.

136
00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:35.599
we um are working with the applicant's representative on just a few um modifications to the plant pallet. Um and then I have something about kayaks. So, I'm sure there's some sort of kayak

137
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:52.560
rack out there or kayaks that we need to move around. >> Yeah, that was just that was me. There was three of them sitting on the ground right on the edge of the water when I was out there. So, I just So, they got a storm someplace else. >> Yep. We can we can condition that they can build a kayak rack and storm on a

rack. So, happy to do that. >> If they build a kayak rack up in the trees, they can do that, right? No effect on anything. >> I'm serious. It just you can't build a kayak rack. You have to put have to go for mitigation. If you build a kayak

139
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:26.240
