Lakeville denies septic sign-off, approves pool over erosion concerns

Conservation Commission · Meeting of July 28, 2026

Lakeville Conservation Commission denies septic sign-off, pushes back on chronic no-shows. The board voted unanimously to deny a certificate of compliance for a septic system at 52 Clearpond Road, DEP file SE-192-960, ruling required wetland restoration remains incomplete even after the property sold. Members separately grappled with an illegal drainage pipe running from 16 Shore Avenue into Long Pond, with attorney Jim Marsh warning that owner Mr.

McKay "needs to consent to the owners" before filing a permit — the matter was continued to August 11 without a vote. The board approved a negative determination for a pool at 5 Quickshand Circle with revised erosion controls, continued six other hearings, and debated a policy to automatically deny applications when applicants miss hearings without written notice. "It's not fair to abutters, who would keep showing up," one member said, citing a two-year-old Industrial Park case that ended with nothing built.
