Right. >> All right. Uh we'll call to order the January 6th, 2026 uh meeting of the Westport Conservation Commission. We will start with the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right. The uh first order of business today is a solar permit for
Bone Pit number 476 382 Hicksbridge Road. >> Mr. Chairman. Uh, this is AJ Potter and Sons who works the bone pit at 382 Hicksbridge Road. Soil permit renewal number 476. Description of the work. The applicant
AJ Potter sends requesting renewal of the permit at the bone pit. Uh, soil permit number 476 [clears throat] at 382 Hicksbridge Road. The property is continuing the restoration of the older sections with placing of lom and seed. The area is mostly used for storage and
processing of materials that is brought in from offsite. But there is still one section remaining. Section 3 area G is still available for gravel removal. And this activity should commence in the later part of 2026.
So this is probably the only active gravel license that we have in the community uh with very little area remaining. Recommendations. The West Conservation Commission Soil Conservation Board should approve the continued restoration efforts and the
allowance to stockpiling transfer materials on site and removal of gravel from section 3 area G for so permit number 476 for one year. >> Uh thank you Chris. Uh any questions from the table?
>> Nope. >> Anything from the crowd? >> If not motion to approve. >> Do I get a second? Sir, good. >> All in favor? >> I >> opposed. Unanimous. >> It was uh Kevin and Tom second.
>> Thank you. >> All right. Do we have some or >> uh No, you can call out the first mics on everybody. >> Got you. Yeah. won't wait on that.
>> You're just going to open the hearing and continue it to February 3rd. >> Okay. Uh the mass DCR uh notice of intend for John Reed Road. It's a proposed widening of beach access road with impact on the coastal barrier beach. Uh we're actually going to
continue that to what was that? February 6th. >> February 3rd, Mr. Chair. We're going to continue to February 3rd. Do we have a motion to continue? >> Motion to continue to February 3rd. >> Second. Second. >> That's Phil in the top. All those in
favor? Opposed? >> The next one from Mass DCR. Are they going to Are you >> Yep. I'm going to Yep. >> You okay? Um, so the next hearing is mass DCR RDA presec Beach restore existing playground by removal and
replacing swing set. >> Mr. Chairman, um, this is only small version of what they're doing. I'll try to hold it up of everybody here, but Mass DCR, this is within the campground facility. Uh, this being the campground,
parking spaces closest to the ocean are right here. Uh there's a coastal dune that they restored uh a couple years ago and the old playground sits right in this little island within the middle of that uh landscape feature. They're basically proposing a new ADA um
playground establishment with the placement of new equipment. Um just the schematic of roughly a new design within that same location. Um, so this activity is outside of the coastal barrier within
that developed portion, but it's within the flood zone and it's subject to us giving them a determination on the activity. So I recommend for the board that they uh Westport Conservation should approve the playground construction at the state reservation
with a negative box two determination. >> Thank you, Chris. So for clarification, it's it's a it's an envelope that's already there. Nothing's extended outside of that. >> No, they're staying within that same disturbed area. >> Okay. Well, you know that in the past if that hasn't
>> correct. This is this is like for like >> Okay. Um any questions from the crowd in the table? All those in favor? >> I have a motion. Excuse me. A motion. >> Motion time. Second.
>> Second. All those in favor? >> I >> oppose. [snorts] >> Okay. The next one we have up is William Kudo SE8-2811 and NLI for 63 Cornell Road. Repair
second system in the buffer zone. You >> sign that idea and pass it around. Chair, [clears throat] >> you're in the process. I didn't know if you had foggy foggy uh cold medicine foggess. Uh Jim Walsh. Um,
essentially tiny yard did the perk test. It's been before the board of health already. The system design is approved pending conservation. This section of wetlands here is actually filled. And what it feels like is because of the slope coming down,
sheet runoff kind of completely saturated. that brought in a lot of wetland plants like um um and uh so anyway [clears throat] complete septic repair with a sort of grading all components septic tank pump
chamber debox and it's the only place we can fit it we got wells in the front yard tiny lot thank you [clears throat] Chris >> Mr. Chairman William Kudo, 63 Cornell Road. This is a notice of intent application uh filed by AVT Associates
with Jim Walsh here representing the wetland portion. The report date is um December 30th, 2025. File known for this project is SC802823. This is a board of health approved project. Um site visit was also on
December 30th, 2025. Detailed description. The applicant has filed to repair the septic system on the property. The wetland line wetland flags 101 through wetland flag 107 was walked and determined to be accurately shown. The existing cess poolool will be removed and filled per title 5. The new
leeching field is designed 50 ft from the edge of the BVW meeting the minimum setbacks required. The grading of the field will extend closer to approximately 35 ft from the wetland. Erosion controls will be installed around the work area and they shall
serve as the limit of all activity. Recommendations for the board. The Westport Conservation Commission should approve the septic system repair with standard conditions for William Kudo 63 Cornell Road, file number SE802823.
>> Thank you, Chris. Uh, do we have any questions from the table? No. Uh, do we have a motion? >> We'll move to approve the septic system repair with standard conditions at 63 Cornell Road. >> Second.
>> That was still in Kevin. All those in favor? >> Opposed? >> Thanks. >> Thank you. >> All right. So, the next one is Judith Jennings and Dorothy Carrero. life
estate in ANRAD for uh it's SE80-2824 that's 304 Adams Road to determine if resource areas are accurately delivered. >> Hi, good evening. Uh Will Connley, Zena Consulting Engineers for the Record. Uh the site is located on the southern side
of Adamsville Road. Uh it's a 17.6 acre lot with roughly 2 and a half acres of contiguous upland. Uh the resource area for which we're requesting approval on uh is the bordering vegetated wetland which is shown in this green line here.
Um it's delineated as wetland flag 101 to wetland flag 123. Uh it's roughly 868 ft in length. Um there's also a uh perennial stream located partially off
site. Um but as you can see the 200 foot odor repairarian zone is located entirely within that bordering vegetative wetland. Uh so we didn't have that delineated. Um so I think that's about it. If there's any questions I'd be happy to try to answer them.
>> Thank you. Uh Chris, >> um Mr. Chair and members, Dorothy Carrerero, Life Estate. This is uh 304 Adamsville Road. This is abbreviated notice of resource area delineation. Our engineer record is Zenith Engineering.
Will will conly representing the report date is December 30th, 2025. The file number for the project is SE 802824, excuse me, with no adverse comment. Site visit was also on December 30th, 2025.
Description of the work. The applicant is filed for the delineation of wetlands at 304 Adamsville Road. The property contains an existing home on 17 acres of land. The wetland line, wetland flags 101 through wetland flag 123 were reviewed and determined to be accurate
uh with no changes made. The contiguous upland area is approximately 2.5 acres that is located closer to the Adamsville Road portion of the site. The remainder of the area has again been determined as wetland. Angeline Brook also borders the
site to the west uh closer towards the fitten property. It actually separates uh the two properties by way of that river. Uh riverfront area extends into the site as well, but as we'll mention, it doesn't affect uh the developable portion of the site and no specific uh
delineation was rendered for that area. Um recommendations for the board. Uh this would be the issuance of an order of resource area delineation. Westport Conservation should approve the wetland flags as shown in the riverfront area with the issuance of an order of
resource area delineation for the Dorothy Carrero estate at 304 Adams Road. >> Thank you Chris. Uh my only question on that is the angeline brook there is no issue with distance on that from where we're doing because I know we had a
situation >> to her hatfield right >> yeah this is totally outside the 200t parameter as will shows there does not come even beyond the limit of that wetland delineation so it all is encompassed within that wetland system
>> and that perennial goes it flows into the angeline right it meets >> that is the angeline number two >> it's number two okay >> angeline one is the primary one further to the uh east and this is the secondary but yes >> somewhere in the woods just beyond these
properties they come together >> thank you Chris any other questions questions from the crowd I don't see any uh do we have a motion >> so I'll move the uh move to approve the
uh wetland flags on the plan um for uh and issue an O-r for 304 for Adamsville Road. >> We got a second. >> Second. All those in favor? >> Opposed? >> Thank you.
>> Have a good night. >> You too. >> I should have that out beginning of the week. Will. Okay. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Yep. >> All right. Um, next on the agenda is the ticket of compliance. The first one we have is John. >> Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
