Log
- 2026-09-14 - Conservation Commission - Hearing closed and order of conditions issued 3-0. The notice of intent covers an after-the-fact rebuild of a roughly 100-foot retaining wall that collapsed in March or April (concrete block, deadman anchors, gravel drain column) and hand cleanup of trash in a nearby basin. Wetland scientist (captioned Douglas Dylan) said work would be from the upper parking lot; a commissioner asked for conditions covering possible compaction equipment on the slope.
- 2026-08-24 - Conservation Commission - Hearing postponed 3-0 to Sept 14; deadline extended to Oct 6.
