Commission OKs shed near wetland, tables four filings

Conservation Commission · Meeting of November 2, 2026

FALL RIVER — The Fall River Conservation Commission approved a shed relocation inside a wetland buffer. It approved an amended order of conditions for Augusta Street, SC-24-876, on a 5-0 roll call, requiring permanent boundary markers and a post-and-rail fence four feet off the structure. The commission also approved a partial certificate of compliance for 27 Bronson Street and tabled four notices of intent, including Macalester Towing's dredging and bulkhead project, where Beta will present its peer review in December.

Staff previewed a draft wetlands ordinance that would allow fines of $300 a day and said the city currently has "zero teeth" on its 25-foot no-activity zone.
