Conservation Commission issues orders on four filings

Conservation Commission · Meeting of October 20, 2026

REHOBOTH — The Conservation Commission cleared four wetland filings and tabled a trail-study contract. The commission issued an order of resource area delineation for 31 Star Lane, orders of conditions for 5 Baker Street and 11 Reed Street, and a negative determination for 8 Dean Street, all by voice vote. Commissioners who visited 154 Agricultural reported erosion controls and wetland flags in place and no violations, though residents alleged missing hay bales and filled wetlands.

One member said a project can be stopped only if work reaches wetlands, saying "period." The commission tabled the award of a trail feasibility contract, weighing PAR Corporation against Oak Hill Engineering's $19,950 proposal, while a February grant deadline loomed.
