please aliance to the flag United States of America and to the Republic which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liy and justice for all first on the agenda is Margaret Sylvia 33 Old County Road soil number 497 Chris Mr chairman Margaret Sylvia this is a renewal of soil permit number 497 it's located at 33 Old County Road on description of the work the own has filed to renew the stockpile soil permit for 497 for the location again at 33 Old County Road the site is located to the rear of the parcel and is in good working order recommendations Westport conservation Soil Conservation board should approve the soil permit renewal for one year permit number 497 Margaret Sylvia all right any questions no questions a motion motion to approve I second it okay second from bur is Kevin B all in favor oppos that's unanimously all right Jeffrey pzer and Kathleen mccuin notice of intent 1041 horck Road construct Addition Garage and driveway in the bar Zone can you pull the plan out Mr chairman I'll post it oh you want to post we have a butteris a butter card he has the green card hand to just hand that to the chairman thank you state your namf and Kath thank you Mr chairman um there representative alen Ru had a conflict tonight so um Jeff is here to represent his his family in the property located at 1041 Horseneck Road the plan before you is an existing home down on the Westport River they're proposing an addition to the house as well as a unattached garage this activity is within the buffer zone uh two resource areas which are located in green just to the right hand side those are located behind an existing wall Field Stone walls pretty much demarcates that edge with this they also putting a horseshoe driver in which would be a gravel extension uh in blue of the existing driveway and as I mentioned the garage and the addition further north are in orange so Jeffrey poer Kathleen mcguin mcin rather 1041 Horseneck Road dis no with 10 application uh heru engineering is the engineer of record green cards have been provided the file number for this project has been issued it's se8 2758 with no adverse comments um there is uh issues with zoning that they are taking um on their own accord for separate matters description of the work the owner has filed to construct an addition to the existing home on the north side of an on the North side and an unattached garage the property has a delineated Wetland that runs along the existing perimeter stone wall the line is accurate as shown the addition and garage are proposed to be constructed into the existing lawn area for the property construction requires some changes in grades around the addition in the garage the closest work to the resource area is the crush Stone driveway extension uh which is coming off of the existing no changes in grade are proposed for the driveway extension work will be contained with erosion controls installed and will remain in place uh until all areas are stabilized recommendations for the board the Westport Conservation Commission should approve the proposed Addition Garage and driveway extension with standard conditions for file number se80 2758 so Mr chair this just a garage is going to be apartment above or I just a standard garage no no apartment above stand do any need for any roof infiltration Chris are we do no this slot is huge Mr chairman so I think they are not confined to that requirement uh this is a very large acreage where they reside on a very small portion of that Upland area so I do not think that is needed in this case how how close is the work to the resource area um in respect to the driveway extension probably 25 ft at its closest point except where the driveway terminates this driveway is pre-existing right here and this is the close as the Wetland is so the work is approximately yeah might say 15 ft then progressing further away as you get into the property so this would be the Wetland here so say 15 to 20 ft at its closest point What's going to be between the driveway and the the Wetland currently lawn and a field stone wall that lines wall yes exactly all right see and this driveway again extends from horse Neck Road it it has to be all of 900 to 1100 ft guess in length all right Phil I have no comments but I move to approve the plan uh documenting the proposed addition um garage and the driveway extension with standard conditions all right before take a second any of the audience have any questions or comments all right do we have a second for that motion I second it all right second for all in favor I clst all right you you guys are good all right I'll be mailing a document out to you that signifies the conditions for the work there is a u appeal period so you may want to wait 10 yeah 10day conditional appeal period but all right anything else need from us no okay thank you so much very nice meeting you all right Westport House LLC notice of intent 1991 D Main Road reconstruction of stone wall raising of solid fill pier in the riverfront area hien cards for this project next thank you oh both projects yeah okay which which one is the which one's this would be 1991 W it's the I believe it's the one with the envelope attached to it my assistant just gave it to me we can check all yeah that's fine if we split them we did get some of BU his called so I know that they did get I would tell address yes that's all out of state there you go so the ones that allowed out of state would be the main road potentially all right you ready U good evening um we here tonight U my name is Roy barki wrs engineering um we're here tonight to request the Board review um the application to reconstruct existing stone wall fronting the property at 91d filling the low areas behind the stone wall that currently flood and kill the grass with a basically thin lower layer of of soil and reeding and reestablishing that reestablishing the planting strip full planting strip behind the wall after it's reconstructed with native plants and then raising a pre-existing license solid filled Pier One Foot um in order to keep it above the latest floods we've been having um the wall is being raised approximately one foot also the resource areas involved are um all being altered temporarily there's no permanent alteration or expansion in any resource areas we have rocky intertitle Shore land under ocean land subject Coastal storm Flowage uh Coastal Beach and I believe that's it um the idea of this is that the the pier will be raised with a concrete apron um that'll be poured Ely 1T High by 3T wide around the perimeter and then the interior of that will be filled with a hardening material uh it's previously mostly Rock and concrete now you see a small portion of grass in there but that's really just uh overburden that's seated over time from from shells and things I probed everywhere in there it's it's a solid Pier um we feel that will give the owners you know a dryer and then that'll tie into this reconstructed wall which is in really poor shape you see a lot of these these rocks here are all from the wall um it's coming down it's going to come down we proposed to rebuild the wall with a fabric backing and a just out of stone exactly like it is no no P concrete or anything like that and raised um to the same height as the pier and you know the impacts are going to be minimal the most important thing is to make sure if when any concrete's poured that um the forms are up they're checked and tight um there'll be no overwash of any concrete into the water system um we might even go with a called a flow fill which is a low psi concrete which doesn't have Which is less water content and it'll fill all the gaps inside the old wall and um in terms of the wall I'd say the most important thing was they're only build the wall in up to 20 foot sections at a time so there won't be exposing you know they're not going to tear the whole wall out and leave that whole Bank exposed uh I feel that's a precaution um and I can answer any questions about the project at this point in time I was just looking at the locus on here you have on this plan it shows the point but it doesn't where where is where exactly is 1091 or it's on the west west side 1991 excuse me Valentine is further to the to yourself what's that road the the driveway Road it's between Valentine and um it's the farthest solid La what's the one that go turns into lawence there's is to just to the to the North and then Valentine would be to the South page seven page seven in your packet shows a detailed color Locus if you'd like to look yeah I'm around there in B of I just never noticed a big Stone pair that's why it work this I don't go down that far so this is kind of a house that comes off of a paper way with a long driveway um and it's a very linear property along the Waterfront all right I'm s go Ahad your report yeah the home is actually further towards the suly of the property the wall kind of extends down and across the front of the property can IAD I just had a preliminary question so is the wall going to be rebuilt as a stone wall yes exact okay not a concrete no stone exactly we're going to use all the stones that are there okay um if you take all the stones that are in the water and all the stones that were there um and bring in some more a few more substantial Stones a lot of the stones are really chinking stones that they to just grab um so it'll be exactly same type of stone that's there now so yeah sorry I'm you should give your report and then I'll ask all right that's no problem thank you this is West House LLC 1991 D drift Road this is a notice 10 application filed by WS environmental LLC um report date is May uh rather July 16th 2024 there's a file number for this with no adverse comments it's SE 80 2752 we also have DMF comments received in favor of the Reconstruction of this wall um for the record this is a waterways licensed structures um they're located on the West Branch of the Westport River so these are licensed uh so the applicant is entitled to repair and maintain these structures um within that licensing the structures proposed to be reconstructed are the seaw wall a stone Jetty and a small ramp area along the side of the jetty the wall be reconstructed in place working from the Upland area rebuilding in sections will rebuild the wall with morfi Excuse me morfi fabric behind the wall and back filled with stone the lawn area will be seated and Native landscape plantings along the top the stone Jetty will have repairs made to the existing cap and secured by masonary methods um as Roy mentioned this is all being raised approximately a foot in height which we've been seeing for other properties in this lower reaches to prevent the um tital influences that have been occurring um and as Roy mentioned inundating the lawn area um basically avoiding it of any growth because of that salt condition so this is just again a measure to raise the license wall one foot higher and in the process build it in a manner today where you put that fabric so the fines are not withdrawing when the title influences occur the wall will stay uh and not slump on itself when stuff is undermined um again this is land sub to Coastal storm Flowage Coastal Bank Riverfront um there is also a slight salt marsh in this area um but for the most part it's an existing uh seaw wall along right at the mean high water Terminus recommendations the Westport Conservation Commission should approve the Reconstruction of the licensed seaw wall Jetty and small ramp with standard conditions uh and also uh allow the lawn to be seated and the planting of native landscape along the top Edge that's all Mr chairman you have any um when they do the seating you didn't do any uh uh runoff controls that corrosion control as needed in this case Mr chairman because they're going to work on a low tide event work section the grass yeah yeah they could absolutely include erosion controls during that any questions no the reason I was asking what it was made of is because I was concerned that uh it that it was going to be porous and if flood waters come uh you know they wouldn't be retained there or they wouldn't end up getting channeled to a budding properties so just just a comment I put the flow arrows on on that plan and grading to to show that we're not flooding anybody else's properties if we went up any higher we wouldn't inundate the back properties so we that's why we kept everything at the heights EXA yeah CU a couple decades from now it's an area that'll probably get flooded pretty regularly need two more feet unless melts first then it's going to all right anybody have any questions regarding this here okay motion unless motion to approve okay second that was Kevin and Phil all in favor you all this one I already have your cards here so good you already did you open the you next one I didn't care sorry I think I did maybe no maybe I didn't actually you know what proba apologize for that uh Point house 2020 trust notice of intent 2048 Main Road reconstruction and replacement of license rock wall thank you good evening Royal gr wrs engineering representing the owners of 2048 Main Road and Westport River um just to note the owners are present um if you have any specific questions for them what we're proposing here is very similar to the last project um we're proposing to raise the existing licensed Stone in Earth pier in this case approximately 2 feet um to tie back into the there's a gray drop in the yard and uh this winter we had the entire front portion of the yard underwater there's a an existing Boat House on the property that's a water dependent use that was all flooded so as part of this we plan to bring the boat house up approximately uh 2 feet um on the same similar sonit found sonit foundation and fil the interior of that part of the lot shown in hatching with soil um in order to do this we're going to have to wrap the stone walls around the sides of the yard to chase the grade back um because right now these are at the same grade and if we raise this we'd be we'd be dumping uh water on here so we're going to chase chase the walls back to the grades and everything's going to drain toward towards the water um so we won't be putting any water on there the construction methods are similar to the other one this wall is in a little less of a good shape the owner desires to have a fully stone wall when it's done um possibly with a a granite cap but no concrete cap and you know in the case like this I don't think we're going to have to go down all the way to the to the base but that's you know a good portion of the wall will have to be taken apart similar to the other one in re um it's going to be s of the projects that are going on all around it um I think there's two right now one to the north and another one and we don't see impacting any of the resource areas on this and I'd be happy to answer any questions Mr chairman and members Point house 220 trust this is 2048 main road it's a notice 10 application filed by wrs environment LLC report dat is July 16th 2024 there is a file number it's se8 2753 uh again this is a waterways license structure uh except for the uh existing shed uh the wall is licensed the owner has filed to rebuild the existing waterways license SE wall and raise the existing shed the work will be completed in sections to repair the wall removal of fill behind the wall and replacing with marafi fabric again with the crush Stone the shed will be raised higher on sonit Tube to accommodate the title flooding so this is not going to be filled underneath this is going to be an open uh Foundation to allow that tital influence uh to do its thing but again not to inundate the structure itself which um the photos are on record um again work would be completed during low tide cycles in order to remove the wall in sections so the neighbor to the South had theirs just done um and I believe the same contract and also Hanes was done at that time so um I'm very familiar with the work that was done it's a tight location so there is some moving of material in order to work in the small area of the yard um but respect to the shed raising we just recently one of the properties to the north of this just had that uh work uh permitted as well so this is an area that again is receiving um that inundation above normal and it's causing some harm so with respect to that this is resource areas involved as land Ser the coastal storm Flowage and Riverfront area recommendations Westport Conservation Commission should approve rebuilding the wall and the raising the shed I guess we should say on son tubes with standard conditions that's all Mr chairman no questions any questions from the audience all any questions no motion I move to repr approve the plan uh documenting the rebuilding of the wall and raising the shed with standard conditions I second it all in favor oppos all right that's un thank you thank you thank you guys continuances John can notice of in 10 1634 y dri Road rehab structure at patio and Landscaping in the roof front area anybody have Mr thanks take [Music] care thank you have a good night have good night Sean do you need any assistance need some I'll get Le the 84ye old okay these long days huh we'll get you out here buddy good evening SE Engineers representing 1634 wide this is part of the Aben States one the lot part of ab States down the water on the far end of the roadway uh this has a file number issued by the state SE 2755 what's happening is Mr Canan had purchased this piece of property with this Cottage on it cage needs substantial work as the foundation did picking it up in place and replacing it back a New Foundation uh do that he's raising it slightly in order to do that he has to put a couple little platforms to access the doors that are obviously ground level uh he's also add a deck in the process he's removing a bigger deck that was out towards the water and replacing some of the concrete walk with that deck that was existing as a concrete and rock Walk uh he's totally within the 100 foot River Front area the whole lot itself is within the 200 River Front are there's nowhere else you can do anything he going to do it has an existing Pro septic system in place of with the retaining wall around it uh he proposing substantial plantings in and around the house and around the buffer and we have a landscape plan and list all the plants go through them obviously uh native plants that go all around to the landscape uh this property so basically at the end of the day there's about 100 square ft change in what is in the degraded area uh of the house it's 100 ft more there's really nothing you can do here as far as uh storm water mitigation just is in the room with the septic and everything else in place so essentially we're just going to do uh significant number of plantings in and around the riverfront area and leave the house exactly on the same footprint you only increases this small PA up here and removing this so there isn't much we can do on this lot as far as mitigation but is about a like like we believe it meets the basic performance standards of the roadfront area that's all thank U members I'm sorry I forgot to update the actual recommendations on this one because of there being a request for continuous of last meeting so please disregard the recommendations this is a new revised plan that Shan submitted addressing those concerns from d and actually remove the section of activity which which was this sitting area from uh the purview so we're just looking at a landscaped area and a deck reconstruction that was done on the property so John Canan 1634 wide drift Road this anman tent powered by Sha Lee with Northeast engineers and Consultants report date is July 2nd 2024 we're still pending a file number um but Sean again has updated her concerns by removing and 2755 we did get a file number so it's se80 2755 beautiful uh detailed description owners filing and after the fact for work commenced on property located on the east branch of the river as Shan mentioned it's in the abdine condo association area on the Northerly reach of that the applicant had begun deck construction without permit um the workers within the lawn area of the home and mine extension of the decking were completed the owner has removed the proposed sitting area from the plan uh and however will still plant the coastal native vegetation uh that he has depicted on that detailed plan um details again of these plantings are shown on that LE Landscape Architect's detailed plan to the right so again this is an after Thea activity Mr canine bought the property and and got very overzealous and began work um he has now satisfied the building inspector and we were the final ones in that process so the Westport conservation should approve the Repose deck area and Landscape plantings in the buffer zone and Riverfront area for John Canan file number se80 2755 with standard conditions Mr chairman there should be some implementation of erosion control as you can see on the plan uh and those should remain to the area stabilized that is all comment no any questions from the audience comments questions no no all right look for motion so I'll move to approve the a plan documenting the Reconstruction of the building on the property and the um and mitigation planting as described in the plan second all those in favor thank you thank word o'keef notice att8 East Beach Ro perform Beach maintenance she has given us the green cards Mr chairman the white ones I believe are in the copies of in the B Mr chairman I believe family of yes they're here yes um this is bernardet oef 158 East Beach Road this is a trailer lot that has been existing for many years uh it's located on the ocean side the report date is July 2nd 20124 uh we just did receive all the natural HED approvals for this project that are on file we also have received the file number for this project uh that was just issued as well so the owner has filed on behalf of the owners for the property at 158 East Beach main road to maintain the trailer lot the site is on the ocean side and must use materials compatible the existing conditions uh sample should be provided to the office prior to placing on the beach and the work can be no closer than 10 ft from mean high water mark uh in this case with this lot they have a a substantial influx of material uh so they most likely would be just spreading this material around in a manner to allow them to access off of the roadway um they also have received specific natural heritage approvals which I put in the file today on the specific guidance to get a allowance of inclusion in this area during the April 1st to August 31st activity natural heritage is granted them under conditions that they place um they obviously hire a biologist from the autobond and have them pre uh sweep the Aira before they do any work um this is in in conjunction with their natural heritage normal approval so this is the method that you would get in order to do work during this inclusionary time of year restriction um so again they have received that in writing for the record so what I recommend to the board the Westport Conservation Commission should to approve the proposed Beach maintenance with the conditions uh only compatible materials be used a sample be provided to the office before placement on the beach and work no closer than 10 ft from mean high water um natural heritage and dangered species comments would apply for their standard approval and also natural heritage comments would apply for their recent uh approval for work during the plub season that is all Mr chairman they going to cont you contact you 48 hours ahead of time yes all right and then just going to re rearrange the material is there it's not important yeah they're getting a late start this year they had they have a new bit lot very large family that's out of state and so they coordinated with some relatives to represent them tonight so yes they are in turn coordinating with these individuals to have Autobon be present and again Amy honig is a representative of natural heritage those specific email is addressed to cathalene O ke okay okay me any other questions comments motion uh so I'll move to approve the um proposed Beach maintenance um subject to the conditions in Chris's report and compliance with natural heritage endangered species you know requirements or standards right second all right all favor all right that's your I will send C an email tomorrow to verify what we just did okay so you've been given approval okay she is aware of these special conditions but I'll just explain okay that's what she's looking for okay yes great thanks thank you very much thank you I appreciate it good night good night thank you so we have uh extensions Janet Baker 122 East Beach Road SE 82599 this an extension Mr chairman Janet Baker 122 East Beach Road she's requesting an extension to file number SE 802595 the DAT report is July 17th 2024 uh the site visit was also on July 17th 2024 description of work the owner has filed the request and extension for the file number to do Beach nourishment and maintenance at 122 East Beach Road this is file number SE 802595 um the beach maintenance is done periodically as we uh have seen this year being very very specifically important to even gain access recommendations the Westport Conservation Commission should Grant the three-year extension to file number SE 802595 Janet Baker questions any another question motion goad I move we Grant the three-year extension to the se8 2595 thank you second second fill all in favor oppos thank you all right uh Allison mcisaac 17 East Beach Road SE 82593 this is also an extension correct Mr chairman this is also an extension for Alison mcisaac 178 East spe Road file number SE 82593 the report date is July 17 2024 the site visit was also on July 17th 2024 the owner has filed a request for an extension for 3 years for file number SE 82593 for Beach maintenance at the exist existing trailer a lot recommendations the board Westport conservation should Grant a three-year extension to the file number SE 8025 93 for Allison mcisaac 178 East Beach Road okay we have a motion motion to Grant a three-year extension second Kevin and bur all in favor oppos all right that's ceric of compliance for Juan Riviera Rivera uh 743 Sodom Road SE 82166 correct this is Juan Riviera and H McGovern Mr chairman this is a lot that Mr Rivera bought from the McGovern properties 743 Sodom Road this is certificate of compliance for file number SE 82166 report date was July 1724 the site visit was also on July 17th 2024 description of the work no has filed to request a certificate of Appliance for file number se80 2166 for the single family house construction uh that has been completed at 743 Sodom Road all work has been completed in the site is stabilized with the grass growing and actually has been mowed a few times um this season already this is a buffer zone activity Mr chairman so recommendations the westf Conservation Commission should issue a full certificate compliance for file number SE 82166 as all work has been completed according to the plan of reckon Mr chairman all right do we have any questions not a motion I move we issue a full CER certificate of compliance for this project second that was bur all in favor oppos all right I have a uh ipated I have an unanticipated one yes Mr chairman say properly no yes unanticipated at 42 President Street Mr Jim this is a different property the owner of the property had recorded an order conditions when she bought the property in 2007 2008 um we recently at the past meeting issued another order of conditions for the repair of that same septic system um but this previous one is still been recorded the property has been sold and it has left a blemish uh showing on the title of that property so the owner requests to remove the file number uh rather the certificate compliance and file number SE 8805 for 42 President Street I recommend the board issue a full certificate of compliance right any questions not a motion move to approve the uh issuance of a certificate of compliance second Bill and Kevin all in favor okay thank you all right that's uh regular stuff we have this we have this letter here we want read the the one for the uh Leach what is that Mr chairman structure or how the hell did you get that in your packet we almost yes um I I don't know how to handle this Mr chairman but Eve leech's property at Main Road at a section of her dock collaps to into the water uh it's a deric property that hasn't been maintained or um is in delinquent in taxes so I don't know the likelihood that she will actually remove this um so I recommend uh to the board and the members that we issue a letter to Mrs leech um stating that under her Waterway license requirements this it needs to be remain safe and that this now has become an obstruction in the river and this needs to be removed uh as soon as possible well we'll take enforcement action somewhere along those lines all right you have a motion and that would be um 2059 Main Road the leech Family Trust so moov to uh issue uh that Chris issue correspondence to uh the owner of 2059 main road to address the problem of the collapse of uh her structure into the water creating an unsafe condition thank you f have have a second second second for br all in favor okay that's Chris send that letter thank you to complete the removal within seven days of the receipt of this letter is now eight days past the date of the letter yeah I don't think it's going to happen in other words yeah she's okay this is the second of the one two punch all right Chris we have Mr chairman I also have two requests for enforcement action the first one is a Michael bisco Michael bisco located at 17 Sandpiper Drive we received kind of a Anonymous letter in the mail with with these pictures you can hand them out Mr Chim if people want to see them uh the they own a clearcut uh with some sort of brush hog machine right to the water's edge uh just a couple days before 4th of July uh this property has been delineated numerous times the owner is stillw there's Wetlands there uh so I think this warrant an issue of an enforcement order um requesting that they file a notice of tent uh to restore the area to its original condition and whatever measures are required to have that happen all right we have a motion yeah move to uh issue an enforcement order for 17 Sandpiper Drive for um unpermitted removal of vegetation bordering the water I'll second second Kevin all all right see what else we have the second one I have Mr chairman was also seen visually from The Waters Edge um this is a Martin Keller they are located at two I think it's 216 cadman's neck um they proceeded to add sand to the coastal reaches of their property without any permits uh I can attest to the record that this Beach area pre-existed it's just that they are not entitled to just uh increase or add more material without a permit or issuance of some document from this office so I recommend because the Kell are very familiar with filing procedures they had a longstanding case against the commission cuz they violated the law um back when they first bought the property in 2012 that they be issued an enforcement order to permit the placement of the Sand by filing the necessary paperwork in order to get it approved in accordance with the weapons protection act all right questions not a motion so I'll move the we issue an enforcement order for the uh after the fact placement of sand without appropriate approval from the commission second all right second all favor Mr chairman that's all I have for the record um I will add that the selectman did pass at last night's meeting that Cobble policy without our recommendations considered so I so what's the policy we're going to everybody on the south end gets all the material until there's an interim this is an interim policy until we design a beach management plan that changes that that's how they will act uh if any storm events do occur but why would we have a beach manag PL as private property well the beach management plan is going to discuss the proposed maintenance of East Beach Road and how it corresponds to are we going to grade the lot more done too well at the current time they're just depositing the sand Within the road layout and the owners of those properties will spread the sand the town is not placing the sand in a manner it is piling sand um just to try to satisfy the previous concerns those neighbors had of stealing of their materials so this is an interim policy I will state again for the record this is not a permanent policy the um so we are submitted an application to the czm for Grant to consider a designated Beach management plan for this area and as I cordially sent to the selectman their recommendation is to divide the materials in the interim rather than giving it to one side but they again uh didn't feel that that was as easy as giving it all to one side so that's where it stands so that's all I have for the record all right so we have um a bill from WB Mason for 2698 office supplies motion to a second second second from B all in favor all we have East pay media advertising for hearings $184.50 motion Bay I so move you second Okay buron Kevin all in favor oppos all right that's say we have minutes let's see who's here minut July 9th pres was myself Phil B and Kevin was so we can't do this anyway all right well save those minut to the next meeting we have enough all the right people here I have anything else Chris I have nothing else Mr chairman all right does anyone else have anything want to discuss all right for motion to adjourn move to adjourn I second second all in favor all right that's we're all second
