Re: Consent Order —Restoration of Unauthorized Clearing, Fence installation
& Lawn Encroachment In Conservation Easement Area
Perkins Farm Road, Waterford, CT
Mr. & Mrs. Guetti,
It has come to the attention of the Waterford Conservation Commission that you are continuing
to mow the conservation easement area west of your property. The Consent Order you entered
into with the Conservation Commission to remediate the impacted conservation easement area
states that no further activity other than removal of the fence is to take place in the adjoining
conservation easement area, other than manual trimming of the conservation easement area
within five (5) feet of your western property line. Please refer to the attached executed order.
The fence has been removed as agreed. However, the continued mowing of easement area
extending approximately 40 feet west of your property boundary is not in compliance with the
Consent Order. Your western property boundary is located approximately five (5) feet west of
the edge of your driveway. A concrete merestone marking your southwest property corner is
evident off the south end of your driveway.
You are hereby instructed to cease this unauthorized mowing activity. Your cooperation in fully
resolving this matter is appreciated. If you have any questions, please contact me at 860 444-
5813 or by email at mfitzgerald@waterfordct.org
Respectfully,
LE be
