a. 7:10 PM 49 Cliffview T errace CAD-25-25  <Video link> 
A Public Hearing on a Conservation Administrator’s Determination regarding removal of 11 dead hemlock trees. They were 
probably killed by HWA over the last decade. These trees are a safety hazard to persons and property. The trees will be 
selectively remov ed without disturbing the surrounding trees and vegetation.  
 
Dick Fisher presented th e project.  Herlin's comments were read into the record  as follows: 
(11) hemlock trees were observed to be dead, exhibiting  extensive branch dieback, lack of live foliage, and overall 
structural decline. The condition of these trees is consistent with long -term impacts from Hemlock Woolly Adelgid 
(HW Eleven A) infestation, which has affected hemlock populations throughout the region over the past decade. The 
dead hemlocks were identified throughout the wooded slope and along the shoreline edge. Due to their height, 
location, and deteriorated condition, these trees pose a safety hazard to persons and property, particularly durin g 
wind, snow, or ice events.  
Motion: M. Wilson, to approve as presented with the following stipulations:  
1. Tree removal shall be limited to the eleven (11) dead hemlock trees identified during the site visit.  
2. Trees shall be selectively removed to minimize disturbance to surrounding trees, understory 
vegetation, and soils.   
3. Stumps and root systems shall remain in place unless otherwise authorized.  
4. No equipment staging, stockpiling, or debris disposal shall occur within resource areas.  
5. Any additional tree removal or disturbance beyond what is authorized will require further review by 
the Conservation Agent or Conservation Commission

NHSP first.  JH. Pewtherer shard the sanctions trails map.  M. Wilson noted that  the brown trails are on private land and are 
designated  non-motorized. T. Anelons indicated he stays within the yellow trails. Only these sanctioned trails may be 
groomed. 
Bob Pease supported the request to groom the trails as a big plus to all users.  He noted that a blue trail near Gilchrest does not 
show on the map , is heavily used and should also be groomed . M. LaRouche  wondered how we reconcile trails that do not 
officially appear on the map.  M. Wilson noted Montachusett Regional Planning creates the map.  She also noted surprise in 
the number of trails that exist that are not on the map.

Herlin’s note s:   
Tree with the split trunk is deemed  a hazard tree and presents an imminent risk to public safety and property. Removal of 
this tree is warranted to prevent potential injury or damage.  
In addition to the primary hazard tree, several nearby mature trees were observed to contain dead, rotted, and/or 
compromised branches. These branches appear structurally unsound and pose an ongoing safety concern, particularly 
during wind or snow events.  
Additionally, while the tree crew is mobilized on site, the removal of dead, rotted, or hazardous branches from adjacent tree s 
is considered reasonable and appropriate as a preventative safety measure, provided that such work is limited to pruning and 
does not result in additional ground disturbance or expanded tree removal beyond what is necessary to address safety 
concerns.  
Motion: M. Wilson, to approve removal of tree removal and damaged branches as proposed 
with the following stipulations:  
1. Tree removal and pruning shall be conducted using best management practices 
to minimize disturbance to surrounding soils and resource areas.  
2. No staging, equipment storage, or debris stockpiling shall occur within resource 
areas. 
3. All work shall be limited to the removal of the identified hazard tree and 
selective pruning of visibly dead or rotted branches on nearby trees.  
4. No additional tree removal is authorized without further review by the 
Conservation Agent or Conservation Commission

1. CALL TO ORDER 
Roll Call: J. Pewtherer, R. Bursch, M. Larouche, T. Doucette 
Absent: M. Wilson, A. Burnap (joined at 29:17 minutes into the meeting) 
Call to Order at 7pm by J. Pewtherer 
2. APPOINTMENTS: None 
3. ANNOUNCEMENTS 
a. Public Comment. (No comments from members of the public.) 
i. Pollinator Habitat Update 
M. Larouche reviewed the May 17 event, sharing photos of plants and butterflies. It was basically an 
opportunity to organize for the upcoming season. J. Pewtherer noted the Habitat is located at 123 Hollis Road, 
is open to the public during daylight hours, and provides free parking 
ii. Drought Declaration: DEP May 22 
DEP raised the drought level to level 2 (significant drought) for the Connecticut River Valley, Central and 
Nantucket Counties. We are part of Central County. They want all regions within that scope to minimize overall 
use of water, follow local water restrictions, fix indoor leaks such as toilets, faucets, showers, and that larger 
buildings and businesses should conduct audits to identify any areas of leakage. DEP wants people to limit 
washing hard surfaces like sidewalks, patios, driveways, and sidings. 
b. Minutes of Previous Meetings:  
05/20/2026 
Motion: T. Doucette, to approve the minutes of the 5/20 meeting. 
Second M. Larouche 
Vote: M. Larouche – AYE R. Bursch – AYE T. Doucette - AYE J. Pewtherer – AYE 
 
4. NEW PUBLIC HEARINGS 
All hearings are pursuant to MGL Ch 131, s 40 as amended and the Town of Lunenburg Wetlands Protection and 
Municipal Bylaws: 
a. 146 Youngs Road: NOI-26-18 
Notice of Intent by Nichols Excavating, LLC for the replacement of a failed septic system 
Ryan Proctor (Dillis & Roy) represented the applicant. The existing sewer line comes out of the existing house. 
The new system will go in the same general location. The driveway will be relocated outside the 50-foot zone. 
Due to grading, the new septic will need a pump chamber. Breakout grading will require a retaining wall. Erosion 
controls will be used. Board of Health approval is still needed as they are within 100 feet of a well. Still waiting 
for the DEP number. 
Motion: R. Bursch, to continue to the June 17 meeting.

Second T. Doucette 
Vote: M. Larouche – AYE R. Bursch – AYE T. Doucette - AYE A. Burnap – AYE 
 J. Pewtherer – AYE      
 
b. 507 West Townsend Road: NOI-26-19 
Notice of Intent by Jahnke Construction LLC for the construction of a single-family home with a wetland 
crossing   
Zach Mann (New England Environmental Design) represented the applicant. New construction on a large 
property. The area was previously disturbed about 8-10 years ago. A long driveway is needed but will have to 
enter over an existing stream. The DEP number has not been received. Minor grading in the 50-foot buffer, and 
the house is in the 100-foot zone. T. Doucette wanted the reason a common driveway was not possible.  Z. Mann 
said the neighbor did not want a common driveway. A parallel driveway was not considered due to the existing 
pipe. R. Bursch wanted a planting schematic, construction detail for the temporary disturbance, and a planting 
demarcation to protect the 30-foot zone. He also wondered why the house cannot be outside a buffer zone when 
there is over 28 acres. Z. Mann said it was simply a client preference. H. Jaime suggested this could also improve 
the large driveway requirement.  
Motion: M. Larouche, continue to the June 17 meeting, addressing the following: 
1. Replication detail on the disturbed area 
2. 30-foot buffer planting demarcation native plants 
3. Move the structure outside the buffer zone 
4. Locate the staging area on the map

b. 860 New West Townsend Road: NOI-26-1 (Continued from 05/20/26) 
Notice of Intent by Daniel & Rachel Brackett for a common driveway to provide access to four residential lots 
Ryan Proctor (Dillis & Roy) represented the applicants, who were also present. Covers 3 properties. Will involve 
4 townhomes each with 5 units using a common driveway. Applications are still before the Planning Board. 
Comments from the peer review and DEP have been submitted. Many peer review questions were stormwater 
related. Property had a forest cutting plan 10 years ago, and the owners now want to develop the property. No 
more cutting will take place. H. Jaime noted that we may want to wait until DEP has received the responses. R. 
Bursch suggested waiting until all Planning Board approvals are received.  
Motion: R. Bursch, to continue to the June 17 meeting, addressing the following: 
1. Wait for DEP to review responses 
2. Wait for all Planning Board approvals to be complete
