- What: staff enforcement order CC-EO-2026-004 over shoreline vegetation removal and an above-ground pool placed right at the bank edge at 142 Olean Street.
- Where it stands: the Commission ratified the order 3-0 on 2026-08-24.
- Next: the owner must hire a wetland scientist and submit a remediation plan by September 30; staff expected to discuss it October 6.
Background
- Eric Flint said the homeowner, who had recently bought the house, was cooperative and unaware of wetland rules. A fallen tree crushed shrubs and the cleanup turned into broader removal, regrading and a small wooden retaining wall for the pool.
- The plan is expected to include native shoreline planting and moving the pool; staff said the Commission would likely not approve the pool in that spot if proposed up front, but left the decision to the Commission.
