Charles: You are going to lose your property on the river. You have stayed within the letter of the law in so far as the conservation easement over the bank, but you have clipped everything there. Currently, you are suffering undercutting of your whole frontal area. And that undercut is primarily because you removed the brush that was there originally. I would suggest to you that you consult with nursery people or something in order to out some root growth back. Currently, the way that I have looked at it, you have lost 21, feet in the last year. And that is going to keep up and become increasingly worse, Mrs. Alicandro: My husband is going to do something. Our son is a Chief Environmental- ist and my husband is going to work something out with him, Charles: We will- have tobeadvised when .you do that. Mrs. Alicandro_:_- Yes.

In- fact, the Canadian geese know him. - There must be at least 20 of them.- In- fact, if they don 't-see -him- come out, they walk half way up. You see we throw them little nieces of bread now and then. . They are there every day. One morning they were there at 4 o'clock. They woke us up. And there is also a sea gull that comes there all the time. To me that is beautiful. Ken: I think we are all set. Wayne: We will take it under advisement. On the orders of conditions, revegetation on that slope. Charles : Revegetation and the dock itself will have to have space boards. According to the print there, it, is solid.
