zone. The plans have not been approved by the Board of Health
to date. The stump dump will be approximately 120'x4O'x160'.

Wetland Protection Act Hearing - No File Number
Daniel Lenihan - West Street
The Wetland Protection Act Hearing on the Notice of Intent
dated December 4, 1985 opened at 8:30 p.m. Mr. Lenihan's
proposal is to level bank of Greenwood Lake along his property
and to lay down approximately 4 tons of sand. Mr. Lenihan
has already done this. For the record, on September 23, 1985
a positive determination was made requiring Mr. Lenihan to
submit a Notice of Intent for his proposed work. As of
November 18, 1985,Mr. Lenihan failed to submit the Notice of
Intent. On that date, the Conservation Commission agreed to
issue an Enforcement Order against the title of his property.
The Enforcement Order stated, "wetland alterations resulting
from said activity shall be corrected and the site returned
to its original condition." The Enforcement Order was filed
at the Registry of Deeds. At tonight's meeting, Chairman
Durbano felt the main issue was the isolated cove and the
assurance that the flow of water be maintained. Commissioner
Mahoney mentioned that the level of the bank has been changed,
thus impacting the cove. Mr. Lenihan stated about 4 inches
of muck was removed before the sand was put down. The
material removed was pushed back on the land with some of
it being taken off the site. Commissioner Sweet felt that
where the sand goes onto to dry land is definitely above high
water mark. Mr. Sweet also felt a reasonable approach to
correcting the situation at this time would be to establish
a point back to where the original edge was and to grade a
line and reestablish the high water shoreline. If was felt
Mr. Lenihan could do this work in the late spring or early
summer when the water level is high. Chairman Durbano felt
the channel between the island and peninsula should be cleared
of debris. h';r. Lenihan is to come before the Commission before
any work is started.
