Summary
Staff site visit confirmed as-built work at 56 Canavan Circle matches the as-built plan despite minor deviations; the commission voted to issue the certificate of compliance for DEP file 234-937.
The Needham Conservation Commission voted Sept. 25 to issue a certificate of compliance for work at 56 Canavan Circle (DEP file 234-937), after staff confirmed the as-built conditions matched the approved plans with minor deviations.
Timothy Puopolo, Needham conservation specialist, reported he conducted a site visit and photographed the property the day of the meeting. Puopolo said the house addition was slightly larger than the original approved plan, the patio installed was smaller than planned, and there was less retaining wall overall — changes that resulted in a net reduction in impervious surface compared with the permit drawings.
Commissioners had no substantive concerns after staff presentation. Chair David Harrer called for a motion and the commission carried a roll-call vote to issue the certificate of compliance. Commissioners voting aye included Commissioner Sue, Commissioner Bill, Commissioner Fred, Commissioner Reid and Commissioner Sherry.
The certificate of compliance will be recorded and the conservation file updated with Tim Puopolo’s photos and the as-built letter.
