What will happen at the Conservation Commission meeting?
The applicant will outline the project to the Commission and answer any questions the members or abutters might have. All meetings are always open to the public.
If you have filed a Determination of Applicability, the Commission will either issue a negative or positive determination. A negative determination means that the Wetlands Protection Act or the Scituate Bylaw does not apply and you can proceed with your plans. A positive determination means that the Wetland Protection and/or the Scituate Bylaw apply and you will need to file a Notice of Intent.
If you filed a Notice of Intent the Commission will either:
- Approve and issue an Order of Conditions, which is good for three years from the date of issuance. At the end of three years and before the Order runs out, a request in writing for an extension may be requested for up to three years for three times;
- Deny the project, OR;
- Advise the applicant of needed changes or that further information is required to make a decision.
