Commissioners tabled multiple agenda items for further information, approved administrative permit updates for a previously permitted industrial site, approved prior meeting minutes and adjourned.

Items tabled by motion included review and updates on Bell Rock, adopting fee structures pending state action, outstanding enforcement orders, and a series of Notices of Intent and related filings. Specific filings tabled included: SE‑24‑843 (owner Marco Fritz, 565 Detroit St.), SE‑24‑844 (owner Omar Espar, 1 Bridal St.), SE‑24‑847 (John Henry / Harkins and Whitfield LLC, 121 Whitfield St.), SE‑24‑850 (owner Antonio Maderas, 44 Captain Circle), NRAD SE‑24‑851 (1 Shaw Street LLC — ANRAD; see separate article), Weaver Cove Industrial Park LLC (post‑clear restoration), and a Hyde Development LLC proposal for 21 townhouses on South Beacon Street. Many of these items were tabled because applicants had not submitted required documents or the commission lacked a file number.

The commission approved the partial certificate of compliance removing Lot 2 from an earlier order of conditions and then approved an amended order for the remaining lots for the BMD Companies LLC matter (see separate article for details). The commission also approved the minutes from its Feb. 3 meeting and voted to adjourn.

Tracy Duarte, director of engineering with MBL Land Development, spoke for BMD Companies LLC and described the request as primarily administrative. \"It's really more of a paperwork exercise we're going through,\" Duarte said, explaining that Lot 2 had been sold and has no wetlands or buffer zones, so the project team sought to exclude Lot 2 from the original order.

Duarte told commissioners that the project had been permitted as a group of industrial buildings in 2022, then recorded under an order of conditions; the owner has asked to have Lot 2 removed via a partial certificate of compliance and then to reissue an amended order of conditions covering lots 1, 3 and 4. Commissioners asked no substantive questions about site changes and approved the partial certificate and the amended order of conditions by roll call.

The commission recorded the motions to (1) grant a partial certificate of compliance to relieve Lot 2 from the order of conditions and (2) issue an amended order of conditions for lots 1, 3 and 4. Staff will prepare the amended order paperwork reflecting the new lot configuration and return it to the commission for filing and recordation.

The votes occurred during the agenda item titled \"request for certificate of compliance\" and were procedural approvals rather than new permitting decisions.","The commission granted a partial certificate of compliance removing Lot 2 from a prior order of conditions and approved an amended order for the remaining lots after hearing from the project engineer representing BMD Companies LLC.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6301714,"Applicant seeks wetland delineation at 1 Shaw Street; commission votes to hire third‑party reviewer",434,342000,776000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2486003-7d4b0c303036e6bbc1935ab728768e16&start=342&end=776","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2486003-7d4b0c303036e6bbc1935ab728768e16/thumbnail_342000.jpg","/articles/6301714/Fall-River-City/Bristol-County/Massachusetts/Applicant-seeks-wetland-delineation-at-1-Shaw-Street-commission-votes-to-hire-thirdparty-reviewer","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6301714-9da39620c821cca1097305fd714ecfdf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771167813&Signature=Ij15NQ4mbJI4HR360ZAot2EEjcZ37Mr4SlQqrnXU5Qd9KSaImMNsTIC~B0TA4sCcnOX7kQsUub36UHIqWz-OVUoL~65GQh91n9ybRTGiarkI3NdfjnuxuoUSpOMGV~01XnuTrdunrc~n~ePfexE-TcgW7nagkYy6tGWgnowGOmXaA5GjgRds8H5J8YMIAv9y6TYFdidkiWcB~llngRZMftao-hONbG57zz1dIoQ2P9XaVCf7PbTTFf8Rka0HRylDyiGSzbcsKtuoQN-djF0cCWXjYUs1lXX6tcBVU9YPxMS1Btg2Ok~cuCykrPbaiNulOm0Axe4lrkBliu4VvCsWNA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Field Associates told the Fall River Conservation Commission on March 3 that it had filed an Area of Notice of Resource Area Delineation (ANRAD) for 1 Shaw Street and identified three coastal resource areas on the roughly 8.7‑acre parcel. The commission voted to contract a third‑party reviewer to examine the delineation and tabled a separate access/coordination item.

The applicant’s consultant, Gavin Hall of Field Associates, said the filing covers three natural resources along the western edge of the site facing Mount Hope Bay: land under the ocean, coastal beach and coastal bank. Hall said the filing also lists FEMA floodplains, Chapter 91 tidelands and shellfish‑growing areas as contextual information but described the ANRAD’s focus as the three resource boundaries. \"We filed an ANRAD with the commission to delineate three natural resources on the site,\" Hall said during his presentation.

The parcel is occupied by two tenants, Hall said: a salt‑storage/transport operation and a tugboat company (McAllister Towing). Hall described the site as a long, narrow property that extends along the tree line to the river; he said some man‑made structures—seawalls and stone walls—form hard edges where the coastal beach and bank begin and end.

At least one commissioner reported visiting the site and raised concerns about how the salt pile used by the tenant was stored near the docking area, asking staff to confirm whether the lessee was in compliance with storage requirements. The commission did not attribute noncompliance to the tenant; the comment asked staff to check the storage practices.

Because of the complexity of coastal delineation on a port property, the commission voted to retain a third‑party reviewer to verify the boundaries shown in the ANRAD. The motion to seek a third‑party consultant passed by roll call. Commissioners also noted that any site visits or inspections would need close coordination because the parcel fronts a secure port area.

The commission tabled an access/coordination matter related to the property to allow staff time to arrange secure access and to coordinate the consultant review. Commissioners said they would contact their usual reviewer and coordinate logistics with the conservation clerk before any on‑site work.

Next steps identified at the hearing include the third‑party review of the ANRAD, staff confirmation of any required permits or approvals tied to the tenant operations, and scheduling site access with port authorities if the reviewer requires an inspection.

The commission’s discussion of 1 Shaw Street occurred during the ANRAD agenda item; no permits or orders were issued at this meeting for the property pending the external review.","Field Associates presented an ANRAD for a largely waterfront, 8.7‑acre parcel at 1 Shaw Street; commissioners voted to retain a third‑party reviewer and table an access/coordination item pending that review.","actionData","errors"]
