8:30 p.m., RDA Public Hearing filed by David Lovejoy for the proposed construction of a small addition to the existing residence at 259 Mansfield Street:

The Applicant appeared before the Commission and submitted proposed Site Plan, revised date 4/14/05.  
Mr. Lovejoy explained to the Commission that the scope of the proposed project is to remove the existing back hall and entryway and to build a new kitchen/family room. He proposes to remove a 12' x 4' section from the older portion of the existing house to avoid lifting the entire structure off of the fieldstone foundation to complete the project.
The Commission expressed their concern regarding the encroachment on the 100' Buffer Line to the wetland area on the site proposed by the 2' "bump out" to the front of the house.
Greg visited the site and stated that the 100'Buffer Line to the wetland is located in the lawn area of the property. It would only be slightly impacted from the proposed project.  
Peg called for a motion to issue a Negative Determination as per submitted plan with the condition that no further disturbance shall occur along the 25' Buffer Zone and that the small wetland area bordering Mansfield Street near the driveway shall be allowed to naturally revegetate.
