ConCom hears neighbor complaints about fence, land sale By John Garcia Neighb News Correspondent The Fairhaven Conservation Com - mis sion approved two Notices of Intent and voted to continue two other hearings at their meeting on Monday, May 10th. John and Mary Sylvia requested approval to cut trees and install a fence on their property at 7 Hickory Street. Mr. Sylvia had purchased the land from the town at an auction. He had started to cut trees on the property, but then was told to stop after a neighbor complained. Kenneth Ferreira, the engineer for the project, stated that several abutters had encroached on the property when it was owned by the town. Mr. Sylvia wanted the fence in place to mark out his land. Mr. Ferreira added that the fence would be eight to ten inches off the ground. Edna Hopkins, an abutter to the property, stated that she was opposed to the construction of the fence. “I’m totally against him putting the fence up,” she said. Ms. Hopkins’ daughter Cynthia explained that her mother had lived next to the property for years, and had not been informed about the sale of the land, which she would have been interested in buying. “She’s been there for over 50 years,” she said. “It’s like her back yard.” Chairperson Andrew Jones told the Hopkinses that their complaint could be better addressed by the Not Just a Hot Dog Stand Stop by to find out what’s hot!

He told Mr. Ferreira that the Com - mis sion wanted Mr. Sylvia’s portion of the land flagged so that it was clearly marked. “The issue is, I want it recorded,” he said.

Mr. Jones added that he had no other major complaints. “Other than that, personally, I don’t have a huge issue,” he said. The ConCom voted unani mously to continue the hearing to May 24th. Allen Decker, the Director of Land Protection for the Coalition for Buzzards Bay, appeared to request a conservation restriction for Marsh Island. It would ensure that the land is kept as open space. Mr. Jones noted that there was 400a Main St. • Fairhaven 508-996-0067 language in the restriction related to the potential sale of the land. Mr. Decker replied that the Coalition would only con - sider selling Marsh Island to another conservation group, and that such a situation would only arise if they felt the other group could do a better job of pro tecting the land. The restric - tion would remain in place. “In essence, there could be some - one we’d transfer property with, but the use wouldn’t change,” he said. The ConCom voted unanimously in favor of approving the restriction pending minor changes. Patricia Jayson filed a Notice of Intent requesting permission to install a dock and ramp at 82 Fort Street. Susan Wilson, the engineer for the project, told the Commission that the width of the dock had been narrowed based on the concerns of abutters. She added that the dock would only be large enough for a dinghy or a small sailboat. The Commission voted unani - mously in favor of approving the project with four conditions, including a requirement that the Commission would be provided with the names and telephone numbers of everyone working on the project. Daniel Magalhaes made a Request For Determination regarding a 20x40 in-ground pool at his property on 33 Sylvia Street. The property is within the 100 foot buffer to Bordering Vegetated Wetland (BVW). The Commission voted unanimously in favor of giving the project a classification of negative three, meaning that it would have no impact to the resource area. Carlos Pereira was scheduled to make a Request for Determination regarding work already done at his property on 103 Ashley Island Road. However, he had failed to notify the abutters. The Commission voted to delay the hearing until May 24th.
