Heat. Heat. Good evening. Welcome to the March 11th, 2026 meeting of the Falmouth Conservation Commission. This meeting is being held virtually via Zoom video conference and is also being broadcast by FCTV on cable channel 9. As
this meeting is being recorded by Zoom and broadcast by FCTV, please be cognizant of what you say, how you say it, and what can be seen and heard in your background. We are missing a few commissioners today. However, we have a quorum and
we're going to move forward. I would like to remind the commissioners that for commenting I will call on each of you in turn. So please refrain from speaking over each other. Also all votes are done by roll call. So when I call your name please state your name and vote for the record even if you've made
the motion to second. To our public attendees at any time during this meeting you may enter any comment or questions via the chat function. At the appropriate time they will be read into the record. If as an attendee you'd like to participate in a particular hearing, let us know via the
chat function at the appropriate time. You'll be promoted into into the hearing as a participant. When you're selected, you must have your video enabled. Be succinct and respectful of others public comments. We'll be limited to three minutes each.
Uh we are going to start this hearing in an executive session with the purpose of dis uh of uh MGL C38 section 21 A3 to discuss strategy with respect to
litigation 7 carry lane thalmouth. So I will um take a motion >> make a motion to end this session and go into executive session. Driscoll >> grass second. >> Motion is made in a second. Any questions, comments? All right, I'll
call the roll. Ron >> Driscoll I. >> Dan, >> Jim, >> I >> and Duffy eye. We have it. We voted to go into executive session. All right.
So regarding RDAs, under request for determination of applicability, the applicant is asking the commission to determine if the provisions of the Massachusetts wetland protection act and/or the found wetland bylaws apply to the proposed project. A negative
determination is that the provision of the act and or bylaws do not apply. Therefore, the project may proceed as proposed. A positive determination means the provision of the act or bylaw do in fact apply and or may require some conditions. Therefore, the project would
require a notice of intent application. So, as an applicant, you want to hear a negative determination. Next on the agenda, we have a continued request for determination of applicability. Michael Leis, 30 Berkeley Drive, Falmouth, Mass for permission to
reconstruct a deck, a construct a roof over an entryway. Alyssa >> staff recommends a negative two under the state and bylaw. Resource area boundaries are not confirmed and this project solely takes place in an A flood zone. >> Driscoll so moved.
>> Second. >> We have a motion and a second to accept staff recommendations. Any questions? Hearing none, I'll call the roll. Jim >> I >> Ron >> Driscoll I >> Dan
>> Allshy can you hear me? >> Yes I can >> and Duffy I motion passes four to zero to accept staff recommendations. All right next we have continued request for a hearing under notice of intent.
All hearings of the Falmouth Conservation Commission is held s simultaneously under the authorities of the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act and the Falmouth Wetlands bylaw. Although a single decision of the commission is issued, it represents a separate decision under each authority.
As a reminder, public commenting is limited to three minutes. So I encourage you to stay within the purview of this board, which are the rules and regulations of the wetland protection act in the fouth wetland bylaws and how they pertain to a particular application. The chair rever reserves the right to stop any commenting that is
disparaging or inconsequential to the hearing. Please know that all correspondences received by the conservation department is forwarded to all commissioners and becomes part of the record. We will not read each and every letter we receive at a hearing. Remember our jurisdiction is out of the
Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act and the Falmouth wetland bylaw, not zoning, health or building. So continued request for a hearing. We have Brian Mclofflin found with Pier 37 Inc. 110 Scrantavouth Mass for
permission to replace and and relocate the bulkhead, remove a portion of Phil Tideland and expand the existing dock system. Jen, >> yes, Mr. Chairman, I have uh um
a panelist Tom Fzki with Merrill Engineering and Barry Fogle. And Mr. Fogle, are you with me as well? >> No, I'm with Keegan Worland. I'm an environmental attorney working with the applicant. >> Okay, perfect. Thank you.
>> Thank you. >> Um, it's all you, uh, Tom, I think it's all yours. >> Okay. Um, I could be permitted to share. >> Go ahead.
>> Okay. Can everybody see that? >> Not yet. There it is. >> Okay, great. Um, just zoom out a little bit here. I'm going to keep this simple. I'll go to the second sheet because that gives you
a great overall picture of what's going on. My name is Tom Pazerki. I am the marine services director for Merrell Engineers and Land Surveyors. Uh, as you just heard, Barry Fogle is counsel for the applicant on this project. Tom, I think. Am I the only one having
trouble hearing Tom? >> I can hear him. >> I can hear him. >> Yeah, I can hear him fine. >> Yeah, I can hear him as well. >> Can you hear me now? >> That should be a commercial. >> Okay, so uh we basically have uh the following resource areas present on the
site. We have the docks clearly. Um the coastal resource area buffers which you can see in green colored here. Um we have the land containing shellfish, land containing ocean, land subject to coastal storm flowage. You can see we
have the AE zone here as well. Um the project uh consists of upgrades and bringing back some additional resource area to the fmouth in a harbor. U if you've been down to the site, the existing bulkhead has had it. It's in
dire need of repair. We have a coastal engineered structure here that also isn't had it. It's overgrown. It's it's slothing down into the harbor. Uh we have an older drainage system in this project. Um, our proposal consists of
bringing this bulkhead in to align here with the dock area. It's coming in about 31 ft. There's about 3,300 square ft of area there. Um, we will have the erosion control uh measures put in place which
will consist of a floating turbidity barrier. We will likely be installing temporary um sheathing to protect this bulkhead area. And then the process that we're going to move through um with this project is to excavate in here, set some
dewatering pits, take advantage of low tide, uh saw cut the pavement, move that off site, truck it off site. Uh we will do the same with the material we take out in this area here. Um that'll be
dewatered, put on the trucks and then it will be transported off site as well. Um we will then commence with um this will be brought down basically elevation minus 4.5 which is about the
general average elevation through here and then we will start by putting in the sheeting here which will then act provide an additional layer of protection in this particular area here. um for the up or installing this area
here. And then we can focus on taking out the old bulkhead. Um and then we'll commence with putting in the dead bend, the tiebacks, the utility runs, back fill as we go, compact, put in the
gravel drive. Um we were aware um that we provided a pretty detailed during construction erosion control measures. I would consider this probably pretty much EPA level storm water control measures to handle any type of dewatering
operations. I've done this many times. So, we'll have a frack tank. We'll be pumping to pool filters on top of the frack tank. It get filtered through the frack tank. Then it'll come out into a dirt bag, hay bales with stone filters. So, it's receiving many layers of treatment. Um, part of the storm water
improvements are we're going to um inspect this catch basin. If it needs replacing, we'll replace it. But we're also going to put in a storm septa CB here that'll accept storm water in here and provide additional storm water treatment. So, you get 25% and 50%
treatment in here. And then we will install um a new pipe down here with um a tide gate to stop salt water from coming back up. And all of this new sheeting here will have jet filters on
it as well. Um there was also a question on um owning plan updates and stuff like that. I think that's all been taken care of. We've addressed the town engineers questions. The harbor master had a comment. He didn't want anything more
than 57 ft. In essence, what he's saying is he didn't want any of the the boats ticking past the last piles. Um, we do agree with DMF comments. Not like that we have any say on that. We have to comply with it and we will. Um,
and as far as DP, they had a comment on MeER. Um, Barry could talk to that issue. Um, but I think what we our preference is is to uh because we know we need chapter 91. We're basically putting things back to
the historic fil tideland area uh in here to restore this restoration area. Um we're going to need the conservation permit anyways to go through uh the state and federal permitting as the first step. So our preference at the
commission's discretion is to follow up with MEEPA. And uh that's all I have for an overview. Do the commissioners have any immediate questions? Uh Jen, you can stop sharing now.
>> Actually, leave it up there. >> Oh, sorry. >> Yes, Mr. Chairman. I my a um I couldn't hear anything at the beginning of the hearing. So, Alyssa, can you take this one just because I didn't hear the beginning of Tom's presentation and I
don't want to ask a question that's already been answered. Yeah, I believe um the way it was explained is how we understood it. And Tom, thank you for the comments that you submitted this afternoon. Um definitely makes sense that if changes occur during NEPA, you can come back for an AOC and make any
changes necessary. Um you would confirm that the original uh operation and maintenance plan from the time of filing um does coincide with the final two pages of this plan set. Um, so thank you for confirming that and of course if there's any confusion when the time
comes I can just reach out and we can be happy to guide them. Um, I know that you were proposing to excavate all the material um, and dewater it and then can you remind me the proposed topography of what you're going to grade the new land
under ocean to? >> Yeah. Um the the grade that we're going we're proposing on the ocean side of the bulkheads is generally around minus 4.5. That that's what the existing grade average grade is along the shallowest portions in there. Uh and that's a good
grade to have so when the boat snows in we're not staring up bottom. Um and definitely you know helps with the prop wash if the props are out in the the harbor area. Um, in the parking lot braids, we're basically holding the existing grades and regrading it off.
>> Okay, perfect. And the only area that you're going to be grading is just the new land under ocean area. The land under ocean under the existing peers is going to be whatever it is right now. >> Right. Right. Correct. And there'll be minor grading on the upside to match existing grades and >> Sure.
>> You know, um, make sure things get in the storm water treatment measures as well. >> Excellent. Thank you. I appreciate it. Um, all right. Any commissioner's comments? >> I've got a couple of questions. Yep.
Bill. So, Tom, can you zoom in to the actual area of the dock work so I can ask you a couple of questions? >> Sure. >> That way everybody can kind of look at it. >> Yeah. Yeah, I think you got to scroll down so we can actually see work area. There we go.
>> Regenerating. >> Yep. >> My picture is not very clear. I don't know if yours is. >> No, it's just a blur of colors at the moment. >> Zoom out a little bit. See if that helps.
>> Let me stop share. I'm going to go back in. It seems to be frozen. >> Okay. I I seem to be having a problem with that. I don't know if Alyssa can pull that up. >> I can share it. I I can share a screen for you, Tom. Give me one second.
>> Yeah, I seem to be having a problem on my end with it. It won't >> It's okay. >> Okay. Not a problem. I just need to >> Thank you. >> Why am I on me neck? Need to be on scrutiny or meadow neck.
Okay. >> Tom, is it the first plan you were showing or the second? It's sheet go to sheet three of eight. That would be the I think the most appropriate. That's even a bigger scale so it's easier to see. >> Okay.
Here we go. >> I can bring this up a little bit, guys. >> All right. >> Is that good, Dan? >> Yeah, that's good. So, the southeast corner, the bottom of the screen by the existing boat ramp. There's two things
down there that I really can't understand what the thought is. So, one, what's the thing that says sinkhole? See the circle just above the blue line slightly to your right. Right there. Yeah. >> Oh, that's a concrete sinkhole on the
surface that's given away. >> Okay. So, this is just a problem with the existing structure is what that's showing. >> That's correct. >> All right. Thank you. So, in the same area, currently it's shown as blue in this picture, but realistically, if you look at some of the other ones, there's
more lines there than that. Um the there's a wall just behind the blue line. If you go back a little bit, Jen, to the west side, up the up the boat ramp, basically that wall that starts right there where the blue line edge. Yeah, Jen's pointing. There's water on
one side of that, the boat ramp on the other. So, this thing seems to be this pendulum out in the middle of a harbor here. What's holding I mean, the back wall's got lots of support, lots of dirt behind it, and it's got the secondary wall and the anchors. What's holding that wall? Yeah, this particular wall
here, we're going to have to double that up like a cribbing with piling in front of it and and in in the back of it with the wheels and and tie it in in in there and set those to refusal. So, it it'll be doubled up like a cribbing almost.
>> So, it's going to be double the thickness of the the wall that's on the west side of all of the docks, the inland side of the docks. Is that what you're telling me? Uh uh it's going to have uh it's basically going to have piles on the inside. It's going to have
uh sheeting on the side next to the retaining wall. It's going to have piles in the middle. It's going to have sheeting on the inside near the waterway and another set series of piles in there that'll be tied together. >> All right. I I think I understand that. So that's um So Alyssa, do you know if
the town engineer focused in on that? I didn't see any detail on that in the subsequent pages if it's there. >> Um I mean I'm not entirely sure the comments that we got from the town engineer were that they did review this plan in depth. Um specifically in
reference to the dewatering. Um I know that they were content. Um I'd like to say they reviewed everything and are okay with it, but it wasn't put into writing. Is there a detail page that shows that wall and what you're doing in one of the
subsequent I know there is for the back wall. I just didn't see one for that wall. >> Yeah, we can we can add some additional detail for that one. That's a good point. >> Okay. I'm I'm I'm more concerned that the town engineer has something to look at. >> Sure.
>> He's not just missing it because he's assuming like I first did that it's the same as the other walls, but then when I went and looked at it, I said it can't be like the other walls. >> Yeah. Y we'll be happy to do that. >> Um, so I I think that was it because I think
I understand this other than maybe it's in the back pages. So you have again to the west side and on the on the ground level. You have the red box which is the area where you might put the floats if you needed to. So is there a documented plan as to under what circumstances you
take those floats out? Uh if well I mean sometimes the commissions require them to be taken out seasonally and I advise it anyways. Um you know with the winter time and you have the freezing. >> Yeah. Okay. I just didn't know what what whether there was an intended plan here
or not. And again I don't know whether one's required either or Jennifer I don't know but um I see the area that was marked. I just didn't re see a plan anywhere documented as to when it would be used. Obviously, I assume severe storms, but then again, if you're going to have big boats there, they may well
stay in the water. So, >> Mhm. >> All right, that was all I had. >> Do you want me to stop sharing, Dan, or do you want me to keep it back up? >> I'm almost set unless somebody else wants to ask a question about point. >> Well, somebody I can always pop it back
up. >> Jim, questions. I've got no questions, >> Ron. >> No, I had some questions about the Dearding, but I guess you're going to put a frack tank in and you're gonna um filter the hell out of it before it gets into the harbor and you're going to truck everything else out. So,
>> yeah. Yeah. And and >> that's true. Then I'm all set with it. >> Okay. Yep. And and the dewater plates that we put in in in there are going to have filter fabric, you know, stone PVC pipes would help filters it before we're pumping it.
>> Yeah. Okay, I'm all set. Thanks. >> Thank you. I've really got nothing to add. Jen, do you have anything after the questioning that you want to add on to? >> No, nothing after the questioning. Tom, do you want a continuence so you could provide that additional detail to uh for
Commissioner Walsh? >> Yeah, I think that's appropriate to do. So, >> okay. What date would you like, sir? >> Um I we can take the next hearing and the one after that. That's not a That's not a really heavy wind on that end.
>> How about April 1st? The 25th is becoming a bit >> bit busy. >> That's perfectly fine. >> Good. Let me if I may, Jennifer. >> Sure. >> Just a suggestion. So, is that something that requires a continuence or it could
it be something if the commission were inclined to vote to make it a condition of the order that the detail of that be provided or do you want it before? >> Well, I think Commissioner Waltz wants the town engineer to review the detail for that wall and then provide that be back.
>> Wants the engineer to review it. It got understood. >> Yeah, I'd rather have it that way personally anyway. So, both engineers agree. >> Yeah. No, no. As long I thought it was just M Mr. Walsh wanted to see it, but not that you wouldn't know what you were looking at, but I was if it was just for the commission. I was
>> trying to move it along. I'm sure that the applicant would like that, but I understand. Thank you. >> Yep. >> Thank you, Attorney Fog. >> What date were we continuing this? >> April. >> April 1st. >> Okay. >> I will take a motion. >> I'll take a motion at the request of the
applicant to continue the hearing till April 1st to 26. >> McGra second. There a motion a second. Any questions? Hearing none, we'll call the role. Ron >> Driscoll I >> Jim McGrath I
>> Dan >> Wall Shy >> and Duffy I motion passes. We'll continue this till April 1st. Thanks Tom. Thanks Barry. >> Thank you folks everybody. Thank you. >> Have a nice evening. >> You too.
>> Next up we have 15 Darilin Lane LLC. 15 Darland and Zero Ranch Road, map parcel 05 03001B 000 Felmouth, mass for permission to construct a common dock. Jen,
>> so um I know we talked when we met with you, Mr. Chairman, on Monday about requesting withdrawal. They are asking for one additional continuence until J uh July 1st. Um there are some personal reasons
um and I think it's appropriate to continue it to July 1st. >> Okay. All right. The request of the applicant um motion to continue this hearing until July 1st 2026. >> Second.
>> We hear a motion second. Any questions? >> Hearing none. Call Dan >> Paul Shine. Jim >> McGrath I >> Ron >> Driscoll I >> and Duffia motion passes to continue this till July what first
>> yes >> excellent all right next we have a request to extend an existing order of conditions town of Falmouth Manot road and beach found mass
mass D number 25-4588 request for a five-year extension. Jen, >> so this proposed project is to reconstruct two new groins at Man Beach and do about
23,000 cubic yards of beach nourishment. We're going to be doing this particular project in conjunction with the bridge project which we still have not been able to secure mass dot approval for. It is
still our bridge project has been going on for >> 11 years >> quite a long time over 10 years and we still have not been able to um secure the approval from masdot. We waited
forever. We waited I believe twoish over two years for our Army Corps permit. And in that time the um the regulations or the review process at um Mass
Department of Transportation underwent some changes and we're kind of unfortunately the town's just kind of stuck in that process right now. So, I think they're just looking for a longer continu uh a longer extension just to give us time because the bridge is going
to take about two years. >> Makes sense >> once we get approval. >> All right. Any questions from anybody else on this? >> Jen, is there actually an update as to getting any feedback from the state or is it still literally just waiting?
because >> as far as I I know, we're literally still waiting, but I can put a call into the town engineer tomorrow and send you all an email with an update. >> Yeah. I'm I'm not asking you to go out go out of the way, but if you're if you're talking to them from again going
to the other meetings, I've heard that they finally got some action from they literally >> Oh, good. >> they they were they were at a meeting. all the towns went and met with the lieutenant governor and they heard the story about this bridge and the lieutenant governor pulled over the guy
who runs Mass DOT and he said he moved this forward and I just that was that was probably only two weeks ago maybe three weeks. >> So I just didn't know if there had actually been progress versus >> I can double >> go ahead.
>> That's great to hear. Um because I know the town's been very very frustrated, especially the DPW. >> Incredibly frustrated. Um >> but I think again they want a longer time frame. They don't sure when we're going to get the permit. They're not
going to be able to start construction until the now I am thinking it's going to be the hopefully it's the fall of this year. Um >> I'm not we hold it up. I mean, given the approval, that's that's not I just wanted >> I'll I'll double check with uh Jim
Mclofflin, the town engineer, tomorrow and give you all an update because now I'm curious if there is movement. >> All right. All right. Thank you. So, so we make a motion to extend the order of conditions for five years. Driscoll >> gra second.
>> All right. Motion a second. Questions? Hearing? None. I'll call the role. Ron >> Driscoll I. Jim >> McGrath I >> Dan >> Walshy >> and Duffy I motion passes we will extend this order of conditions for another
five years. Next we have a request for certificate of compliance Edmund Steppian 29 Oet Avenue East Falmouth Mass request for a certificate of compliance for mass D number 25-4627.
again. >> Yes. I promoted Mr. Dion to um present his case and Alyssa will give you um the staff's report on this. >> Right. So, this is a COC request before
you tonight for those commissioners that haven't seen one of these before. Um, we typically review these at the staff level and if there's something that um is either outside of the scope of staff to approve, you know, after the fact or if we reach an impass, we bring it to the commission. Um, I do know the
homeowner is here tonight. I would like to say a few words once I'm finished. Um, so this project precedes all of you. Um, this was a simple reconstruction projects of a couple decks off the home. um I believe a partial if not full
second story um some hardscape features. Uh when doing the NOI site visit I did notice that there was an area of unpermitted cutting so we built in a vista corridor and there were a few mitigation plantings installed. Um during the time of NOI review we did
notice that there was an unpermitted patio in the front yard. We think this was added when the septic septic system was upgraded in 2019. Also during that time, one tree was allowed to be removed in the front yard, but a second one was removed as well. So the uh proposal was
to install a restoration tree for that one. Um there was an AOC filed and an extension just for some minor changes. And then the non um the COC request came in November of 24. Um when I went out
there, there were a couple things minor in scope compared to many um of non-compliance matters. A couple of them have been resolved. Um we did get proof of drywall installation from the project and the homeowner uh will be contacting
the engineer to address um some minor sassifrass remover off to the side of the property. Um the three matters before you tonight um are to address a small boardwalk that is currently within the Salt Marsh. Um I I do believe it is
on town property though I realized in looking at the plan that I mistook the salt marsh line for the back lot line. Um I think it's just missing from the plan. So I can't confirm that at the moment but either way it is still located in a salt marsh um which cannot
be permitted. So, the staff is um recommending that the commission require that to be removed. Um secondly, the tree that was to be installed in the front yard, um there were some concerns in installing a full-size canopy tree in that location given its proximity to the
leeching field. Staff did approve an understory tree to be installed, kind of like a dogwood, magnolia, service berry, those types of uh natives that we see on planting plans. Um, I do know that the homeowner was looking into those trees and ultimately did ask us for relief on
that requirement. Um, I know that the um other option the homeowner had come up with was potentially installing a semi-native or non-native in a different location in the front yard. We did review a couple proposed location areas,
but at that time they were in the road layout as opposed to on the subject property. um staff finds that if there is an adequate room on that particular area of the property given the septic location that it could be planted somewhere else on the property. Um so we were hesitant
to wave that requirement. Um you know if another tree were to come down at some point um you know there there is room for another the property really isn't full of trees where it would just you know be silly to add one somewhere. Um I do think there is room on the property
for one. Uh the third matter was just um waiting some time to ensure that the vista corridor could regrow. Um unfortunately with the NOI process, we don't get to meet with the certified arborist during the application process like we do with our DAS. Um we were not
notified when the VISTA was taking place. So we did not meet with someone and it was done um not in accordance with our regulations. the area was quite hacked and um some trees were topped. Um so I haven't been out there in about a year, but I'm hopeful that the area has
been able to regrow. Um obviously once the COC is issued, there's no open permit. So Mr. Pruning cannot continue. Um should they like to continue in the future, they could file an RDA and we can ensure that it's done within accordance with our regulations.
Um so that's all I have at the moment. I do know that the commissioners will be requesting permission, Mr. Durstep, um to visit the property just so they can properly evaluate um the COC request before them tonight. Um and then we'll likely continue this out a couple weeks
so that they can do so. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Alyssa. Um Mr. Dphanie, >> uh good good evening everyone. Everyone can hear me, I hope. >> Yes. >> Okay, great. Uh well, thank you very much for your time. First of all, um as
Alyssa um explained, uh there's been a lot of work that has been done on the property. Um certain things that all the requirements from um the uh initial uh permit that was um received, this is going back to almost three years ago. Um everything
has been accomplished. The only two items that are uh the only one item that is left is the tree at this point. Uh so and in addition to all the um again uh the initial agreement that was made uh
this going back to three years ago and uh in uh above and beyond that I have done additional uh remediation of the planting um that has gone actually um over 160 square feet of pre-existing
patio was removed um or required planting has been completed um and exceeded at some extent. Um uh three dry wells uh were installed properly. Uh 8 square ft of paving stone near the rain
station was removed in addition uh to everything else. And uh also at my own expense, one of the things that I done upgraded the stream drainage uh which the crate was not to the standard that it should have been. uh there was a lot
a lot of runoff um and also erosion of the land that was occurring. Uh so I've uh I'm this is something that I took on and I made sure that I'm addressing that uh just to make sure that I'm protecting the environment uh within uh my
neighborhood and where I where I reside and I uh so um uh with that um when we looked at the tree the tree unfortunately this was removed during the septic installation that the previous owner had done. So I had no
idea when we were discussing this three years ago uh what was the um the overall background and story on that. Um so as we started working on that we realized that actually there are septic lines there. Um and uh we could not plant a
tree in where was requested especially a tree of this size that was it's native it grows to uh heights and also expands in areas that could be just as Alysa mentioned it could be um again causing additional damage to the leech field. Um
so one of the requests that I had I again because I had nothing to do with the removal of the tree. I was hoping for the uh for this board to recognize that and if uh if it's possible um just um I don't have to plant anything at
this point. That's that would be my primary request if it's possible. Uh I if not as a secondary thing um if I can plant something much smaller um and uh either semi-native or non-native uh
further out um from the um from the front of the yard or on the sides if that be possible. Uh the other thing that was mentioned was um the barge that actually that's uh it again this is something that I had nothing to do with
it and this was has been there since the moment that I purchased uh this uh property uh and if it's uh on either my lot or uh it's on the uh town lot. Uh again this this has been there all along. uh so this is a new request uh
that I'm seeing and uh uh again that's something that I don't feel that that I'm have responsibility to remove it. Um and uh regarding the pruning uh the uh the uh so there there was some trees that had fallen uh and also when we were
addressing the street uh drainage uh there was uh probably some uh additional areas that they had to remove certain uh uh trees and other things that some trees had fallen so we had to remove and
um all of that uh again none of that since that going back to two years ago So, uh there has not been any further pruning and everything has been grown naturally in the area. Thank you. Um Alyssa Jen, did you want to respond to
any of that before I go back to the commissioners? >> I I just have one thing to say. If the if the walkway is not on your property, we'll send the DP we'll send the DPW out
there to get it. >> That would be perfect. I'm fine with that. >> Okay. We'll have to determine if it's on your property or not, sir. But either way, that walkway is going to be removed from it needs to be removed from the salt marsh because it's causing damage to the salt marsh. Sure.
>> So, um >> I'm all for it if you want to remove it. I have no objection. Okay. Okay. So, I will get a hold of the DPW. I'm going to have to get a hold of Tom Bunker to see if he can give me that back lot line for you. So, if it is on your property, um
it'll be the responsibility of the homeowner. If it's on the town's property, we'll we'll take care of it on the town's end. Okay. So, if you see some big DPW guys out there, that's probably what they're doing. Okay. >> Sure. No problem. Again, one of the things I want to make sure that I'm not
responsible for sins of the past. >> Okay. >> No, no, I understand that. But unfortunately, these projects f don't follow a person, they follow a property. So, you know, it's it's it's the the buyer's due diligence that I mean, it's the responsibility of the buyer to do
