Commission ratifies minor permits and approves backyard shed at 26 Willowbrae
The commission ratified several staff-approved minor permits that included roof repairs and replacement of a danger fence. Homeowner David Longo appeared to request a new shed at 26 Willowbrae Drive (under 200 sq ft) sited in the yard but separated from an adjacent wetland by an existing fence; the homeowner said the site is level and that no ground disturbance, tree removal or utility work is needed.

The commission approved the minor permit for the shed with the standard condition that work remain as presented (crushed‑stone base, no excavation beyond what is stated in the narrative) and that staff receive photos upon completion. David Longo described the plan as "There's no alterations needed to the land," and staff will finalize the administrative approval in the office.
