ORLEANS — Four residential projects and a beach nourishment extension received unanimous approval from the Orleans Conservation Commission on October 6. Approvals included a second-floor addition at 56 Locust Road (Fagner Rodrigues), dwelling removal and restoration at 14 Gibson Road (Robert Prescott), a breakfast nook at 17 Pilgrim Lake Terrace East (LakeHaus LLC), and a garage at 50 Winslow Drive (Rhonda & Manuel Vazquez), all with special conditions protecting wetlands and coastal resources. The Vazquez garage, a substantial volume increase in a resource area, was approved after discussion that mitigation measures including native vegetation restoration justified the impacts.
The Commission also approved a three-year extension for beach nourishment at 187 Namequoit Road and accepted a revised plan for 23 Standish Road conditional on landscaping modifications eliminating lawn from buffer zones.
