Conservation Commission Enforcement Orders

Context

A standing agenda item lists open enforcement orders and violations (22 items on 2026-08-03, e.g. 133 Lake Avenue North, 99 Wildwood Avenue, Salisbury Hill, 13 Holden Street, 148A Tory Fort Lane, 9 & 13 Elton Street, 342-348 Lake Avenue). Actions are reported by staff and rarely discussed; most entries carry over from meeting to meeting.

Status

Actions on 2026-08-24, all 3-0: two enforcement orders lifted (one apparently 262 Mill Street, CC-EO-2024-007, for a 2001 wetland replication at the Westside Veterinary Clinic site now completed and monitored; and 145 Newton Ave North, CC-EO-2025-009, after unpermitted disturbance near a catch basin was stabilized - the minutes' layout leaves the first address implicit, but both drop off the 2026-09-14 list); a new enforcement order issued for 88 Webster Street to implement a wetland restoration plan (riprap removal, regrading, soil decompaction, native replanting; Nick Facendola of Level Design Group presenting a plan by wetland scientist Matt Marro); and orders ratified at 11 Holden Street (CC-EO-2026-003, unpermitted covered porch in the 30-foot buffer to Delany Brook; as-built plan required) and 142 Olean Street (CC-EO-2026-004, vegetation removal and an above-ground pool at the shoreline; wetland scientist restoration plan required, possibly moving the pool).
