Conservation Commission Site Walk

Request for comment on NHDES application for 1 Riverview Court.  Site walk to help determine whether the Conservation Commission wishes to submit comments on an application to NHDES for a dredge and fill permit to develop this vacant lot.  Request from Jim McKiernan, abutter at 2 Riverview Court, for the commission to investigate the application and submit comments.  RSA 482-A:11 III(a) provides for the commission to offer comments within 14 days of when an application is received by the Town Clerk.  That timeframe has passed but the commission will consider whether it wishes to submit comments beyond that timeframe which NHDES would consider at its sole option.  The lot is located within the Durham Shoreland Protection Overlay District (and possibly the Wetland Conservation Overlay District).  No application for development has been filed with the Town of Durham at the time this agenda was prepared.  Note:  The commission is looking at the site at the request of the abutter, not the property owner.  The property owner and a prospective buyer are being notified of the site walk.  The commission will not walk onto the property unless the owner or their agent provide permission to do so.  The commission plans to include this item on its agenda for December 22 for further discussion.  Map 214, Lot 13.  Owned by Matching Donors.com. Residence Coastal District.
