Oak Bluffs Conservation Commission approves five environmental applications and continues one disputed case. The board unanimously approved notices of intent for septic system upgrades at 12 Anchor Way and aquatic vegetation management at Hidden Cove Duck Pond, a negative determination for a Martha's Vineyard Hospital emergency generator, and a certificate of compliance for bulkhead plantings. Chair Joan Hughes also continued a redevelopment application for 27 County Road that proposes expansion significantly beyond the town's 10 percent wetland variance limit, and continued tree removal plans for 107 and 109 Barnes Road to April 16.
For the Hidden Cove project, the commission mandated that TRC conduct the work and requested annual monitoring reports.
