4. JOE CIULLA — LOT I IB, LAUREL LANE — DEP #124-765 
Mr. Ciulla was present at the hearing but his engineer was unable to attend the 
meeting. Bob Murphy explained that there was an area between the wetland flags 
and the applicant's property. This was one of the replication areas from the 
subdivision. In effect, once the replication area was built, the wetland line 
changed. The genuine wetland line is the one shown on the plan for the 
construction of the house and is where the chain link fence is located. 
Mr. Ciulla did not realize that the fence was built in the wetland area when it was 
installed. He had looked at an old plan with the old wetland line. 
Bob Murphy stated that the Commission should require that a replication plan be 
drawn up. There was further discussion. Mr. Murphy explained that the applicant 
would need to remove the fence, re -install it and file a restoration plan with the 
Commission. 
Motion made by John Burke to continue the hearing to May 4, 2000, seconded by 
Debra Sundin. 
Vote: Unanimous. 
Bob Murphy issued an Enforcement Order for the wetland violation. 
Motion made by John Burke to affirm the Enforcement Order, seconded by Debra 
Sundin. 
Vote: Unanimous. (Chris Brindley absent for this vote.)
