Partial Request for Certificate of Compliance (PCOC), John Campbell, Trustee of the Campbell Family Trust, 631 East St, Heron Crest Condominium, DEP SE 211-697 (Map 33 Parcel 20-22) request a partial Certificate of Compliance for Unit B-102 in Heron Crest Condominiums. The Order was issue in 2004. The work has been completed and the Order has expired. This request only pertains to one unit. Ms. Gonyer explained that this was a common administrative filing that has been addressed in the past. The Order of Condition (DEP SE 211- 697) was for the construction of the entire Heron Crest Condominium site in 2004. Only a portion of the work was within conservation jurisdiction; however, the Order was recorded against the whole lot. Now, the individual unit owners are having complications with this expired outstanding Order as it is recorded as an encumbrance on all unit deeds on the property. This expired outstanding Order will remain until the owner/manager of the entire property files a full certificate and each unit owner will need to apply for a Partial Certification of Compliance. Unit B-102 is not within wetland jurisdiction and she recommended issuing a Partial Certificate of Compliance. Motion: To issue a Partial Certificate of Compliance to John Campbell, Trustee of the Campbell Family Trust, 631 East St, Heron Crest Condominium, DEP SE 211-697 (Map 33 Parcel 20-22) request a partial Certificate of Compliance for Unit B-102 in Heron Crest Condominiums.

The Order was issued on 4/28/25 and the work has been completed. Ms. Gonyer told the Commission that we had issued an Order of Conditions for the construction of a single-family dwelling, septic system and re -grading in April 2025. She noted that this was a tight lot but it was constructed very well given the size constraints and the proximity to the resource area.

She also confirmed that all areas were stabilized and that the site was constructed per the Order and Plan of Record.

This Order has since expired. Ms. Gonyer told the Commission a Certificate of Compliance was never requested by the previous owners back in 2006 based off of the original SE 211-0779 Order of Conditions.
