Conservation Commission approves Warren Place garage, plans enforcement order on filled wetland

WESTON — May 11, 2021 — Weston Conservation Commission permits 15 Warren Place garage but readies enforcement order on filled wetland. On a 5-0 vote May 11, the commission issued an order of conditions for a two-car garage and master-bedroom addition while decoupling the project from roughly 4,500 square feet of unpermitted wetland fill discovered behind the house. Peer-review scientist Patrick Garner found six to eight inches of loam over organic wetland soil and warned that the applicants' proposed five red maples and handful of blueberry bushes were "a very minimal effort." Homeowner Clifford Nash told the board the addition was already over budget: "There's got to be a middle ground here financially." New Conservation Agent Jordan McCarron, attending his first meeting, said DEP analyst Danielle Mucharoni had recommended an enforcement order on a phased timeline, possibly returning in July. The commission also voted 5-0 to allow a fence relocation at 7 Westerly Road and to amend a 21 Center Street approval after abutters objected to tall stumps.
