Street uh this the very end of the road this is the cuac on paper that's what the lanway truly just goes through to a property over here the seminsky uh the wetlands Edge is Define flag 100 through 105 the proposed building is a storage building it is 60 by 100 located as such the driveway to access this will come in off the Gravel Lane L and enter from the west side of the property the the uh drainage is a drainage sale at the high end which is um on addition to the Stockwell property and that goes through grass line sale all the way down to here the roof run off will be contained and distributed into an underground ctech system here so the gutted drains go all the way around connect the uh filling has been kept to a minimum in the back this is elevation um 90 this is 91 92 this is 91 here so there's a little bit of filling in the back but we try to keep that to a minimum Orion controls are shown on the western eastern side of the property and the weap is down here R shes broke

visit was also on December 6 2024 description of the work the applicant has filed a notice of intent to construct a 60 by 100 storage building in the buffer zone the Wetland line represented on the plan is accurate that would be Wetland Flags 100 through 105 the existing area has been utilized for storage and currently is for uh where this building is proposed um it would be 41 ft from the Wetland Edge at its closest point grading to direct storm water along the west side and around the back portion of the building is shown with the grading plan and the sale area that Lenny has designed Gravel drive will be extended over to the building from the existing a access off of gford Road erosion controls will be installed around the work area and remain until the area is stabilized this is again a buffer zone project the only thing I did not mention and Lenny brought to my attention is the roof runoff is being directed into a dryw system as Lenny mentioned there I forgot to bring that

runoff doesn't end up um impacting my property you're right next door y um L you want if you mind show under the water going happen you this the W East West drain the so treats water and then the major problem is your roof water a large building so put down SP drains on the corners and thatr fail 38 I just is that 38 is that corre I can't find out okay so I just want to make sure that another is it's a big looks like a commercial building if there's any um issue okay equipment that has like a leak or something like that that that gets contained and manages to stay out of the um the weapons

leech good evening Sean Lee Northeast Engineers representing David and Lai One Way s's Lane this is a standard dock uh located on the property there's an existing Stone Jetty right now uh we're not doing anything with the stone Jetty we're not disturbing it we're not removing it we're not added to it what we're doing is spanning it with a wooden dot to get to a point where it's fairly deep water right out in front so there's about 4 and a half ft water where the float is so there's no problem with float stops or anything required uh uh Eel Grass survey from 2020 and August of this year you'll know Eel Grass Miss area very Rocky very it's very deep very rocking very Stony in here uh which one of the reasons he wanted to span out far enough because bringing the boat in here is kind of tricky there's a lot of big rocks uh it meets all the requirements of the town of Westport Doc and we're ready to send it off to chapter 91 once we get the order ofs all right thank you Mr chairman members Lori rendes 108 Sylvia is Lane this a notice of intent filed by Northeast engineers and Consultants Sean leech is here representing the report date is December 6 2024 uh this file number is also pending so it needs to be mentioned within the motion um site visit was on December 6 2024 as well the description of the work the owner has filed a notice of intent to construct a fixed Pier gangway and Float on the east branch of the Westport River the property has an old Jetty that is in disrepair the section of the fixed Pier 48 ft will be constructed on top of the jetty the 38t section of Pier will continue and have piles driven into the river bottom the gang way 20 ft and the 8x20 float will be installed at the end the pier will require float stops to keep 30 in off the bottom of the river the dock needs to get the marine services approval applicant needs to forward a copy to to his attention um dock as designed as Sean mentioned will meet the town of westw stock policy and also there was no Eel Grass found during the survey or is there history of Eel Grass within this area based on DS Pari surveys resource areas to be impacted as land uh subject to Coastal storm Flowage land containing shellfish and Riverfront area recommendations the West par Conservation Commission should request the applicant continue the hearing and obtain the marine services letter of approval before the final commission vote we've sent it off to marine services and DP I don't know both were kind of slow responsing with numbers and I think because of the holiday maybe I'm not sure but we'll waiting pending you can you can I don't have a problem Mr chairman pending the marine services uh approvals if the if the members wish okay um that's just part of our policy we like to get that har Master Marine Services comments which Sean and I know his comments will be to put reflective materials on the floats facing seaword um but still I want to make sure that it's situated in an area that's not confining others all right any questions from no any questions the audience Little Pond Road Little Pond Island somewhere in that vicinity there are numerous docks yeah there is docks there are all docks yeah there docks there's a dock here there's a Comm do here and there's one further down correct okay yeah and Mr rendes has one up I believe on the opposing side of his own right they own two properties this happens to be the other property so how much further outside the jetty is this extend um cuz you say it's built on top top of the jetty 38 ft goes to fixed Pier off the jetty and then the gang way 20 so you talking 75 ft probably in total or 75 ft out from that 75 from The Jetty J from the Jett okay and that's consistent with the other ones or yeah they're all pretty much you can see the pil Al one here uh basically there's a pretty deep right channel that runs on the in here and just we uh the state's not going to let you get too close to the channel which is why Lo position this way Channel closer to the docks yes right okay yeah well that's where we like to get excuse me Mr T chair we like get the Marines Services comments cuz those channels you are correct does move and um he may want to just add those comments so um I thought I heard Sean say he didn't think he needed float stops and your report says he does need float stops so he has float stops on I know he had float stops on the plan we we show Flo stop required by means marine services but there's four there's literally 4 ft of water there okay okay well as long as the plan has it I just didn't want us to proove a plan that didn't incorporate CHR recomended any other questions if no more if we make a motion it's going to be pending the file number and pending the marine services correct comments so whatever your pleasure is well I'll move to approve the dock plan for 108 subject to getting a file number and obing services approval all right that was fill do we have a second second second from Jason all in favor oppos all right that's know that was Phill and Jason all right next we have uh James Long notice of intent 1180 American Legion Highway construct three storage buildings with Comprehensive drainage plan and retention Basin in the buffer zone can you state mckc LLC sure mck I'm sorry mcky LLC James Long James Long thank you a couple of buts on this one all right so good evening Sean leech Northeast Engineers representing MC LLC for uh propos storage facility uh on 177 this property is the old St George school or the montauri school depending on when you got here uh it spans between American Legion Highway in Union Avenue seing that go off to Union Avenue the wetlands were flagged and located and shown here in green there's also the West River coming out of PL no patro flows by to the east of the property we don't own to the West for River that's owned by the uh city of Fall River we own to one foot above the high water mark on that which is shown so what is being proposed are three storage buildings in this in this location here and here uh located within the 100ft buffer which is this yellow line here of the wetlands are an 8250 ft storage facility a 6,000 and a 6,000 storage facility with access roads uh there is a 200t river front Zone which is St in blue all those buildings will be outside the River Front Zone itself the only thing that's inside the River Front regard is some grading and some of the drainage detention Basin the detention Basin is sized to infiltrate as required under the O Protection District to infiltrate the impious area of the silly right now there's no storm water drainage controls and nothing going on and previously there was a playground and this is all grass that's not changing there's no disturbance to the existing tree line or existing Woods everything is kept outside that on the already previous developed area we have upgraded the septic system there's a huge septic system for the school that will be removed and a small septic system for the facility which is going to be just a storage facility uh so this has gone to planning board for site plan review and receed positive review from the drainage consultant uh with some tweets here and there regarding originally we had prop po was gravel and they wanted pavement so we're proposing to keep it pavement just for Access and a fire department wanted the pavement also we've actually uh reduced this somewhat some of the pavement with the drainage facility everything we all the stor water requirements and storm quality requirements of the state of Massachusetts and it's outside all the 200t and outside the 25t no activity Zone which is requested by the Conservation Commission all right thank you Mr chairman mcy LLC um James long property located 1180 American Legion Highway this is a notic 10 application filed by Northeast consultant Engineers Consultants um the report date is December 9th 2024 again the file number for this

buildings and Associated storm water basin in the buffer zone and Riverfront area the property is the former St George's school that has an existing playground and Lawn within the proposed work the site borders on the Westport River and has a wetland that is located a further up slope the Wetland line was reviewed and determined to be accurate as shown the design of the storm water mitigation for the storm water mitigation will provide a total suspended solid removal rate of 89% this will be achieved by installing deep sump catch basins a sediment for Bay and utilizing an infiltration Basin the soils are favorable to allow the proposed infiltration design these are class A soils inch and two material so that should work um very well in this area the storage buildings will be constructed on cement slabs and we'll be have a finished floor that will be a few feet above existing grade these are not tremendous amount of filling on this project asphalt drives will be installed around the buildings for Access as Sean mentioned a construction pollution prevention plan and an operation or maintenance plans have been provided within this application and should be part of the order of conditions um the last I did not mention was they're maintaining that 25- ft setback from the Wetland area as Sha reminded me thank you um resource areas to be impacted are Riverfront buffer zone and this is also within the acfer protection area um recommendations for the board the Westport Conservation Commission should approve the proposed project pending Mass D file number with an operation and maintenance plan and the construction po pollution prevention plan uh with standard conditions for this project Mr chairman that is all the first sentence you have two storage building

992 state road request for determination determination of applicability uh George Au re here representing as well as the owner report date is November 19th 2024 again this was a continuance um site

constructed 67 ft away from the Wetland at its closes point the Wetland on the property were recently approved with an RDA for the septic repair this past spring as George had mentioned the work is mostly within this pre previously Disturbed area and the maintained lawn so this isn't proposing the clear area it's actually within previously utilized property um that has been maintained from what the aerial photos show for many years so recommendations to the board the Westport Conservation Commission should approve the project and issue a negative box 3 determination for the metal storage

the last meeting we had a not a quorum to carry this through so we postponed it for this discussion this is a partial certificate compliance release for a phase one of of the boardwalk constructed at one Nick way uh this was a joint project with also uh the mirandas which also own a parcel of land that goes to the ocean U Michael xanes one Nick way this is a request for a partial certificate compliance with a letter supporting this from uh Dave dgan from Schneider Dean and Leon report date is November 19th 2024 the file number for this project is SE 80253 4 on description of the work the engineer of record has provided a support letter and pictures of the work that completed to date the owner has installed the elevated stairway up to the top of the Dune the remaining work was placing a wood slat walkway laid along the ground so the phase one of the project was to get to the top of that first um tertiary Dune or quinary Dune in the rear of the properties at Nicks way and once at the top they were supposed to ahead across the Dune to a secondary area which is still pending construction and as you know we had a major alteration of the coastal habitat there uh I have not been to the site to refer to how that is coming back but um before that phase two would be initiated that would have to be acceptable to this commission so at the present time I do agree that a certificate of compliance for a partial release is in order so recommendations the Westport conservation should approve the phase one completion of the project and issue a partial certificate compliance for the above reference portion of the walkway over the dunes that is all Mr chairman that is for Michael xanis file number se80 2534 any questions for the partial still compliance or concerns chairman I just

this is land that has been brought to our attention through the 61 release but it is contains a few houses on it so this is not vacant land um there is the closest lot to the Maya property is vacant

no interest correct all right that's for everybody on TV watching us right now I want to let them know why we sign these things yes and we're not taking possession of it we're not taking possession put our own house on it correct all right all right do we have a motion I'll make a motion to thank the 61a release do we have a second second second fulfill all in favor opposed opposed all right that's everybody but um Mr M Conservation Commission suggest the town of Westport release the property yes what's anything yeah anniversary is it is congratulations here that's the sacrifices I make for the time this is your anniversary conom or your maral anniversary W is your wife home or DC Phil I was to say Phil you notice he left that last part out when he made us try to make us feel bad you can guess a good restaurant deals on a Tuesday night so like what better than Saturday why don't you fly down to DC and surprise Taco Tuesday were these sending a video of this is your wedding were these properties put into 61a when the houses were already on the property I think there was acreage enough to have it in 61a and they were farming it by haying one of the larger pieces so that's how they were able to get in this so as long as you have the acreage suitable to get in that program you can and again maintain that cutting of the hay in that field do the tax tax say the same once the house goes up no they they they that reduction has to be paid back so when you pulled this out at 61a no I'm saying when when the houses were built does value of those houses affect the taxation on the 61a land I'm not sure about that I'm not sure I think it's the only portion that's being used as agricultural so I would say no Chris they pulled the last five years I believe it is which is minuscule right well for what they saved over the years but up by you that made a huge difference that whole stretch of Sodom Road sure oh yeah zero agricultural activity going on there and pull it outut at 61a I mean that was just a way to evade real estate taxes legally anybody else have Chris what do you have today I would like to request Mr chairman that we make a motion to cancel the December 23rd meeting that we have as our next me why don't we move to the 24th that would be more foolish I I'll yes I would say that we totally cancel that meeting and uh next meeting would be January jary 7th January 7th do we have a problem with that no any want to make a motion Jesus can't get a motion to cancel the meeting I'll make a motion to cancel the meeting of December 23rd 20 Christmas I I thought it was the 24th that's what we talked about before but it's the 23r I thought it was the 24th but it's a 2R I'll make a motion too4 it's the 24th is it the 24th I thought was she keep yeah I want on the 24th my motions no motions can I bring can I bring some I'll cook so I'll make tend on and J can bring oh no I'm definitely cancel if you're cooking I'm definitely canceling give a second you bring a tender line I'll be here all right so we have a motion to cancel meeting from J uh from Jason the 24th we have a second guess I'll second it all right I know you hate to do that do we have all those in favor oppose all right that's unanimously on if you want to let people know that Christmas Eve we're not going to be here Valley I'm sorry you can't be here Christmas Eve with us you'll be okay and that's the other thing I don't have Mr chairman that's it that's all I got I have one I have one quick question and I I meant to ask you when Sean was doing his doc presentation if someone had a Mor at the bottom of soia Lane and an existing moing would affect the location of that dock would someone be forced to move their or or relocate their their dock plan for an existing moing or theing person be moring would be moved the morning would be moved yeah okay cuz the property owner would assume has more more rights than the individual would the moing because of his riparian right of constructing a dock I guess he could easily slide but we do see people get upset by this but yes that's where the har master and marine services may you know he may not know of that but if you know somebody that has that concern if it hasn't happened yet it's going to us Wars it's bound to happen I half these morning not even licensed so I mean so but it's really D has jurisdiction over that issue because that's where um the kind of scenario that you're talking about can get raised uh you know in the chapter 91 licensing about whether the length of the dock or how it's you know it position you know interferes with uh you know navigation true the water that could be someone could comment on that during there but yes I think we negotiated but that you know that I think it would be a negotiation that the person would just slide is moing left or right tell the guy building the dock out the crane M moing over 10 but you're absolutely right the channel being as Kevin and knowing the channel is that close is really not much to move and secondly to get to the docks makes it difficult on certain tide events based on on a moing of a boat swing and all that relative that's what a turn is yeah right you have syvia and the island is right here so it's tight oh yeah that's a very narrow section that's we make the 90° is there a fishing hole there we should know about that we can maybe no stop from there's peanut bunker there all summer for for no reason there's no structure there's peanut bunker there every day just like yeah what uh baby pogies baby yeah all right looking for a motion to adjourn move to adjourn thank you we have a seconds seconds Jason all in favor that's thank you everybody thank you
