DEEP weighs in on proposed Candlewood Inn deck replacement proposal

The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has reviewed a proposal from the Candlewood Inn and Lake View Properties that would affect FirstLight land in Brookfield.  According to a filing with the Federal Energy Regulatory Committee, Robert Hannon says the application appears to be straight forward with the replacement of an old, structurally unsound stone jetty and wooded deck. 

 

FirstLight is seeking approvals to waive the shoreline vegetative buffer requirement of the Shoreline Management Plan. 

 

The new structure would be less than half the size of the original structure and the intrusion into the lake would be reduced.  Hannon is concerned through about the new catwalk and viewing platform because there's not enough information about how the concrete piers would be installed and the type of erosion and sedimentation control measures for the project.
