9.13.2023 Conservation Commission
A
Hi
everyone
welcome
to
the
september
2023
meeting
of
the
conservation
commission.
The.
A
A
Yeah,
I
have
a
question
on
top
of
page
three,
when
we
were
doing
the
not
the
power
plant.
B
But
the
other
one,
sorry
it
talked
about
a
vote
and
I
voted
no
on
the
project.
But.
B
Apparently,
on
the
the
cup
there
was
the
fill
and
dredge,
and
that
was
second
and
then
the
cup.
B
67
bridges:
court:
okay
at
the
bottom,
the
the
description.
It
said
that
lynn.
B
B
D
Approve
the
the
minutes
for
the
last
meeting
with
the
recommended
changes.
A
Discussion
no
ready
to
make
ready
to
vote
all
in
favor.
A
If
you
would
just
state
your
name
for
the
record,
yes,
ash
chicory,
90,
fw
hartford
drive.
Thank
you.
F
That's
what
I
I
used
right
there,
so
what
I
did
was
those
three
that
you
see.
One
of
them
is
a
shed.
F
The
root
show
they're
leaning,
some
of
them
were
peeling,
so
starting
from
the
side.
F
Those
trees
they
were
like
huge
pine.
They
started
rotting
out
the
point
where
they
become.
F
F
The
cluster
you
see
there
I
had,
I
have
a
better
picture,
but
on
on
a
usb
stick,
one
of
them.
F
F
The
previous
owner,
I
had
it,
I
have
it
there
as
well.
He
said
that
fell
on
one
on
a
bed
of.
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
I
took
that
as
well
and
then
moving
along
there,
so
the
cluster
that
you
see
at
the
underside.
I.
F
Line
so
the
moving
to
the
left
on
the
picture,
the
trees
that
you
see,
one
of
them
had
it
grew.
F
F
And
then,
lastly,
this
one,
the
last
one,
is
about
38
40
feet
from
that
line.
Going
this
way,
the
last.
F
One
there
were,
there
was
a
tree
before
that
came
down.
If
you
were
there,
you
probably
saw.
F
One,
the
one
before
it
and
this
one
it
just
went
right
on
it,
so
I
took
it
out
as
well,
so.
F
Is
way
closer
than
mine,
so
those
big
trees
they
go,
they
go.
The
other
reason
is
there
was
a
lot
of.
F
Just
like,
I
think
it
suffocated
the
whole
section
itself
where
I
guess
I
took
other
pictures,
but.
F
F
F
F
F
F
Right
and
then
point
of
reference
for
me,
if
you
look
at
my
neighbor
two
houses
down,
that
was.
F
F
F
F
Like
you
know,
blueberry,
bushes
and
stuff,
like
that,
but
that's
my
that's
why
I'm
here
and
I
think.
F
F
If
there
was
any
permit
for
this
before
me
before
2015.
so
again,
you
know
I'm
here
the.
F
F
A
We'll
now
take
questions
and
then
see
what
you
have
to
say:
go
ahead.
Allison.
D
D
D
F
If
anyone
knows
was
the
woodlands
always
had
wetlands
was
it
built
in
the
wetlands?
Do
you
know.
D
D
D
D
Some
sort
of
a
reparation
for
what
was
done.
Okay,
a
question
I
have
is
when
this
was
how
old.
F
F
D
F
But
the
jurisdiction
is
yours
right,
so
the
city
has
a
city-wide
wetland
delineation
map.
That
was.
G
Last
done
in
2003
that
usually,
if
we
have
smaller
parcels
like
homeowners
coming
in
that.
G
F
F
F
F
But
you
know:
if
people
don't
know
they
don't
know,
that's
the
problem.
So
in
order
to.
D
F
That's
that's
the
thing
I
don't
think
there's
more
familiarity
with
it.
So,
in
terms
of
you
know,.
D
Yeah,
it
verified
okay,
if
it's
in
the
wetland
buffer,
if
it's
in
a
buffer,
okay,
so.
G
F
F
F
F
A
F
F
Owner
responsibility-
basically
yes,
okay,
yep,
okay
and
a
permit
is
required
anytime
in
the
buffer.
G
F
You
know
I
I
do
have
some
other
trees
in
the
back
there.
That,
like
I
said
I
took
pictures
that.
F
Are
just
completely
dead
as
well
so
and
they're
they're
big,
and
I
think
another
thing
is
the.
F
F
H
I
was
just
going
to
add:
you
can
and
can't
do
in
the
buffer.
Is
you
can't
bring
in
soil.
F
That
so
I
want
to
clarify
that
so
the
delineation.
So
once
I
get
the.
A
E
E
F
Dying
so
I
probably
should
have
them
looked
at
as
well,
so
there's
additional
trees
that
you
want.
E
F
B
Trees,
they
call
them
snags
when
they're
still
standing.
They
serve
a
very
important
ecological.
B
The
dead
trees,
no,
that's
not
the
that's,
not
the
good,
a
good
thing.
So
I
understand
if
they.
F
F
B
The
diversity
of
living-
oh,
I
I
get
it
you
know,
I'm
I'm
worried
about.
I'm
all
about
that.
F
A
Get
them
if
there's
no
other
questions.
Can
someone
make
a
motion
allison
I'll
make.
D
A
motion
that
we
postpone
this
application
until
we
get
the
cycloneation
and
the.
A
D
I
But
it
should
be
his
his
choice.
Okay,
so
the
motion
is
postponement
to
return
with
a.
A
Still
consult
with
a
wetland
scientist
to
provide
a
robust
restoration
restoration
plan
that.
A
Line
and
not
a
different
delineated
line
right
that
makes
sense.
Okay,
so
good
with
discussion.
A
E
E
E
To
that
buffer
area
right,
which
is
protecting
the
wetland,
and
so
the
idea
is
to
try
to.
E
A
To
get
to
an
area
of
new
planting
similar
to
what
was
removed
right,
however,
obviously.
A
The
function
of
a
large
tree
cannot
be
replaced
by
you
know
a
sapling,
but
trying
to
keep
that.
A
F
B
F
A
If
you
are
going
to
be
coming
back
or
after
the
fact
conditional
use
permit
for.
A
But
anyways,
no,
nothing!
You
have
to
decide
on
now
just
something
right
about
when
you're.
F
One
was
right
there,
so
that's
the
one,
that's
gone
so
yeah
if
it
can
be
moved
somewhere.
F
Gravel,
basically,
you
know
yeah,
no,
not
right
now
doing
it,
but
you
know
just
for
future
use
if.
F
A
A
E
A
Is
80
fw
hartford
drive?
Is
anyone
here
to
speak
to
that
application.
J
I
am
julian
fry
hi,
hello.
If
you'd
like
to
present
your.
J
Put
this
in
a
total
of
like
five
pine
trees,
like
ash
said
all
60
70
80
feet
high.
We
had.
J
Put
that
through
our
homeowners
association,
we
thought
that
was,
you
know,
covered
us.
J
So
that's
where
we
were
coming
from,
but
yeah
I
mean
I
would
echo
everything
you
just
heard.
J
And
until
we
really
identify
where
that
line
is
you
know,
I'm
not
sure
what
we
would
cover
here?
I.
J
You
know
just
kind
of
high
level
our
thoughts-
I
obviously
won't
read
it
here.
But
and
again
I.
J
D
E
E
Something
a
new
tree
because,
like
underground
right,
there's
a
crazy
amount
of
roots
that
are.
J
Sand
or
silty
sand
or
whatever
it
is,
but
yes,
we,
you
know,
we
understood,
as
your
best
bet
would.
J
Be
to
actually
remove
the
stumps
all
together
versus
grinding
them
out,
but
I
can't
pretend.
E
J
You
know
any
additional
content
to
provide
to
you
guys
at
this
time.
Okay,.
H
Okay,
someone
want
to
make
a
motion
I'll
make
a
motion
to
postpone.
J
But
I
believe
that
would
be
enough
time
for
us.
Yes,.
A
You've
got
that
and
then
we
can
put
you
back
on
the
no
you're
comfortable
or.
J
Yes,
please,
okay,
so
postpone
to
the
october
meeting
I'll.
Second,
any
more
discussion.
H
K
Well,
I
don't
think
mine's
gonna
be
about
trees,
so
that's
good
lynette
rogers,
I'm
representing
the.
K
Homeowners,
I'm
the
contractor,
so
we
are
just
replacing
an
existing
deck
in
the
same
location.
K
Basically,
except
for
just
adding
a
stair
coming
down
to
the
backyard
within
that
same
footprint,.
K
K
Footings
right
in
the
area
where
the
main
deck
is
because
we'll
be
doing
a
bigger
frame,
so
a.
K
It's
there's
nothing
there
now,
there's
just
kind
of
some
rocks
some
things
like
that.
I.
K
K
Footings
and
they'll
be
being
putting
easy
tube,
so
they're
not
concrete
they're,
already
pre-formed.
D
Yeah,
so
just
the
other
recommendation
is
that
you
put
in
wetland
buffer
markers.
D
A
H
K
K
K
A
K
K
Actually,
I
can
look
on
the
the
picture
of
it,
but
there's
one
by
the
back
door.
That's
right.
K
B
B
Clarify
ing
the
problem
ready
for
a
little
one,
other
question:
you're,
probably
installing.
I
I
I
I
Wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
talking
about
yeah,
we
do
a
picture
frame
deck
and
then
we.
G
G
A
To
that
hi,
I'm
sarah
hi,
can
you
first
and
last
name
sarah
cook
great.
Thank
you.
M
So
I'm
here
to
propose
installing
a
patio.
So,
as
you
heard
from
our
neighbors.
M
It
is
in
a
buffer
zone
which
I'm
glad
I
sat
through
that
session.
We
recently
bought
the
home.
M
And
so
I
wasn't
aware
of
some
of
those
restrictions,
so
it's
good
to
hear.
I
think.
M
Education
in
general,
beneficial
for
our
neighborhood,
but
there's
currently
a.
M
M
Kitchen
floor
was
a
bit
warped
from
it,
and
the
damage
was
happening
where
the
deck
was
attached.
M
To
the
house
and
that
corner
of
the
deck
was,
as
I
mentioned,
also
held
up
by
a
carjack.
M
So
the
deck
was
in
rough
shape
and
we
needed
to
access
along
the
house.
So
we
could
start
that.
M
Structural
repair
immediately,
and
so
we
are
the
houses
in
the
woodlands.
It's
a
very
wooded
area.
M
The
deck
we
wanted
to
do
a
patio
you'll
see
in
in
some
of
the
pictures
I'm
proposing
having.
M
Section
where
that
sub
pump
flows
out,
the
house
also
lacks
gutters,
and
so
that's.
M
Along
the
top
of
that
that
needs
to
replace
before
we
can
attach
gutters
but
you'll,
see
here
on.
M
M
Then
there
is
a
nice
kind
of
flower
garden
with
some
native
plants
that
you
saw
in
that
picture.
M
Patio
a
bit
just
to
give
it
more
of
like
a
natural,
organic
feel
and
then
we'd
have
stairs
the
door.
M
H
Go
ahead
barbara,
so
I
yeah
that
I
I
love
the
drawing,
and
so
I
also
appreciate
the
idea
of.
H
The
rain
garden
I,
having
worked
at
one
marine
gardens
before
I'm
a
little
concerned
that
it's.
H
Very
close
to
the
house
I
haven't,
and
so
one
of
the
things
so
the
prior
people
had
installed.
M
Almost
like
a
fake
little
river
type
feature
in
the
house
with
a.
I
think
there
is
a
water.
M
Feature
buried
in
there
somewhere,
so
there
is
kind
of
already
a
little
bit
of
a
natural
divot.
M
H
M
M
M
M
M
Maybe
just
closing
off
that
section
of
like
access
to
the
patio,
but
yeah
do
you
have
other
advice.
A
M
A
Garden
at
12
feet
or
is
I
was
gonna
start
it
a
little
bit
closer
to
the
house,
because
I
was.
M
M
I
was
gonna
let
that
kind
of
continue
out,
but
can
I
the
gutters
you
can
run
out
further
if
you.
B
B
B
M
M
M
Desperately
needs
to
be
replaced
when
we
bought
the
house
there's
just
a
tarp
over
it
and
I
closed.
M
H
Gutter
pump,
okay,
so
the
rain
garden
would
be
10,
start
10.,
yeah
and
then
on
the
the
city
website.
D
M
B
Thing
a
lot
of
people
come
in
with
square
jackson,
square
patios
and
whatever
rectangular.
B
Drawing
and
you
could
even
oval
out
like
the
top
left
corner
of
the
you
know,
you
could
just.
B
And
it's
anyway,
so
that's
nothing
you
off
to
it.
Yeah
and
you
know,
take
into
consideration
even
but.
M
M
M
Which
would
kind
of
prevent
us
from
curving
that
out?
I
don't
know
if
there's.
B
B
A
Like
cut
that
down
or
remove
it,
no
because
I
don't
I
mean
I'm
doing
a
lot
of
this
myself
and.
D
M
Yeah
but
then
I
lose
like
that's
the
entry
there's
already
this
pebble
path.
That
goes.
M
M
A
I
M
The
one
with
the
image
where
I
just
kind
of
put
the
blue
box
on
where
yeah.
So,
if
you
look
at
that.
A
Having
to
get
back
there,
nothing
large,
because
we're
gonna
do
it
ourselves,
we
were
gonna
rent.
M
But
I
was
gonna,
dig
it
out
myself!
Sorry,
it's
not
that
big
of
an
area
and,
like
I
said
we've
got.
B
H
Yeah,
so
for
maintenance,
so
for
both
the
poorest
pavers
and
the
rain
garden.
We
usually
ask
that.
H
The
rain
garden
so
yeah
I'll
need
to
look
into
it
a
bit
more
because
I
need
to
do
a
little
more.
M
Research
on
on
the
rain
gardens
appropriate
maintenance.
I
imagine
removal
removal
of
any
of.
M
M
D
D
Okay,
so
if
you
could
have
some
sort
of
a
you
know,
for
the
planning
board
anyway,
attach.
A
Maintenance
for
the
pervious
pavers,
I'm
sure
it's
probably
on
their
website.
I
mean
whatever.
A
Do
we
also
need
the
wetland
boundary?
Yes,
wetland
boundary
packers,
which
were
you
listening.
M
M
The
wetland
scientists
yep-
that's
fine
yeah,
so
your
stipulations
are
the
three.
The
maintenance.
D
D
B
B
B
Anything
that's
we're
asking
all
going
forward.
That's
going
to
be
sort
of
the
new
policy
correct.
A
G
G
A
Time
and
then
go
through
the
vote,
if
that's
all
right
with
you,
yeah
of
course
go
ahead.
C
On
wetland
territory,
but
over
on
the
new
railroad
system
or
the
realtor
system.
C
C
C
Up
those
territory
or
terrain
and
paul's
path
that
will
be
the
sign
for
it.
It'll
be
a.
C
And,
of
course,
with
the
new
trail
that
they're
going
to
do,
they've
cut
up
very
wide.
C
And
they're
putting
more
parking
spots
so,
for
I
know
it's
flipped,
but
for
three
and
four.
C
And
just
pulling
a
trail
just
removing
limbs
moving
small
shrubs,
not
anything
major.
C
C
Try
to
reach
into
maintain
the
trail
after
the
project,
I'm
not
supposed.
E
At
the
sitewalk
I
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
bikes.
Where
did
that
land
will
bikes,
be.
E
E
G
B
Does
anybody
remember
for
the
for
the
insurance?
You
know,
there's
that
berm
and
there's
a
there's
a.
B
Big
tree
to
the
left
from
like
the
photo
we
just
saw,
but
I
think
if
I
remember
correctly,
you
go.
B
Up
and
then
down
a
little
bit
is
it
possible
to
maybe
shave
some
of
that
burn
out
a
little
bit.
A
A
A
And
along
the
path,
there's
bar
plier
like
a
way
further
down
further
down,
there's
a
long.
A
B
A
A
Out
of
business,
non-public
meeting
date,
okay,
so
I
know
last
time
in
the
time
before
we.
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
E
Oh
no
just
about
this
yeah,
the
meeting
yeah
for
like
any
future
land
conservation.
It's.
E
G
D
N
Oh
because
of
the
drainage
that
comes
off
that
piece
of
property
into
sagamore,
creek.
N
Of
landlocked,
they
didn't
have
access
to
the
road,
and
then
that
was
the
probably
the
most.
N
Likely
one
because
it
wasn't
really
developable
easily,
but
that
you
know
that's
the
approach.
N
N
N
Support
to
for
the
community
to
do
the
work,
but
I
think
getting
a
presentation
for
one
of
those.
N
N
N
In
the
cip,
again
or
at
least
pushed
for
they
only
have
more
funds
coming
in
2024,
we
got
the.
N
Right
but
no
sense
in
letting
it
go
in
and
just
letting
it
sit
there.
We
need
to
find
some
projects.
N
N
We
could
talk.
We
could
talk
about
that
when
we
plan
the
meeting,
but.
D
That
own
the
property
or
we
could
evaluate,
gone
out
and
evaluated
the
property
on
foot.
E
E
Too,
so
I'll
just
go
through
it
really
quickly.
One
is
just
an
invitation
to
this
discussion
group.
E
E
E
That
we
care
about
around
wetland
status
so
that
might
be
of
interest.
That's
one
pitch
any.
E
I
just
have
a
little
pre-meeting
with
her.
She
has
a
lot
to
say
and
I
think
she
could
be.
E
D
G
Yeah,
I
don't
know
a
good
way
around
that.
Unfortunately,
if
you're
not
deciding.
E
Conservation,
commission,
I
happen
to
just
meet
them
at
an
event
and
they're,
like
oh
you're,
from.
E
Fort
smith,
would
you
want
to
like?
I
was
like,
and
I
know
some
of
you
are
maybe
much
more
sort.
E
E
And
you
can
imagine
some
fun
things
like
you
know.
Indian
partnership
with
the
library
is
what
I.
E
E
D
D
D
University,
maybe
or
maybe
a
retired
professor,
but
at
any
rate
yeah
I'd,
be
really
interested
in.
