# 10/07/26 Conservation Commission - Special Meeting

The Fairfield Conservation Commission’s October 7, 2026 special meeting addressed conservation easements and a proposed forest assessment. For 987 Banks Road North and related parcels, the applicant proposed replacing the existing easement with a new easement across the street, 33% larger, alongside limited remediation of garden encroachments. The discussion included removing fish and wood structures, retaining the water feature, and having staff review restoration details. Commissioners discussed moving forward with the plan and easement replacement, but the transcript does not clearly capture a final vote. At 845 Millville Terrace, commissioners worked through easement language, including lighting restrictions and a long-term management-plan reference, and approved the revised easement by motion.

The commission also discussed a proposed $4,500 forest assessment at Lake Mohegan Open Space to map and evaluate beech loss and provide management recommendations. The department indicated it would execute the proposal if approved; a motion was requested, but the transcript ends without recording the motion’s outcome. The vendor name is unclear in the transcript (rendered as “Feri LLC”).
