Commission seeks update on Olson mobile-home-park restoration after no visible work on drive-by

Chair George Levesque said he drove by the Olson mobile-home-park restoration area this week and observed no restoration work in the field. He reported staff had told him the project had experienced plant sourcing problems and the applicant was weighing whether to undertake plantings this fall or wait until spring.

"I drove by there this week. There was no work, has been done in in the restoration area," Levesque said. Members noted some units appear occupied and that some certificates and approvals are contingent on satisfactory restoration work. The commission agreed to follow up with the applicant and the town building inspector to request a clearer timeline and to confirm whether monthly check-ins or other conditions are needed to ensure conservation obligations are met.

No formal enforcement action was taken at the meeting; the commission asked staff to reach out and report back at the next meeting.
