Inland Wetlands Agency - Regular Meeting (11/04/2026)

The Inland Wetlands Agency’s regular meeting on November 4, 2026, considered a residential wetlands application, bond releases, and enforcement matters. The agency approved the proposed single-family residence and related site work at 844 Mill Hill Terrace, subject to the Conservation Department’s special conditions. The project includes drainage galleries, erosion controls, and planting; the applicant agreed to revise plan details requested by staff. The public hearing was closed before the approval vote. No procurement, contract award, or purchasing activity was identified.

The agency also reviewed bond-release requests, including a recommended full release of $59,500 for Patterson Club work and a recommended partial release of $33,500 on a separate golf-course project, with $20,000 retained for a golf-simulator building and plantings. A partial release of $16,400 for 378 Penfield Road was approved, with $2,500 held for two growing seasons to confirm plant survival. A neighbor raised concerns about a golf-course laydown area, asphalt, and planting; members discussed the agency’s jurisdiction and the project’s temporary status. The meeting also included wetlands violation updates and discussion of preparing a revised conservation easement for later review.
