Andrew Garulay, Yarmouthport Design Group, represented the applicant. He stated they <br /> would be adding a seed mix of Rye and Fescue to stabilize the soil, They would also <br /> like to remove the dead 12" pitch pine and replace it with an 8' Eastern Red Cedar and <br /> add inkberries to the existing inkberry planting adjacent to their deck on the bulkhead <br /> side of the property. The project also includes the alteration of the driveway which will be <br /> reshaped with a cobble border and remain a clam shell surface with pressure treated <br /> timbers. The street side of the property will be re-landscaped with ornamental plantings. <br /> Mr. Garulay stated the request complies with the performance standards of the wetland <br /> regulations and will improve the buffer by stabilizing the soil adjacent to the bulkhead <br /> and there will be no increase in runoff. <br /> The Agent stated there was a previous application where there was a deck expansion <br /> and renovations to the house and there was a condition that there be grass seeding <br /> which never got done. He noted the wildflowers on the site. Mr. Garulay suggested <br /> planting a fetus lawn and the Agent stated that they area required to produce a receipt <br /> from the landscaper that this is a high fetus mix. He noted there is native vegetation on <br /> the side as you get closer to the water but nothing is interfering except for one dead <br /> pitch pine that is going to be replaced by a red cedar. <br /> No comments from the public <br /> Motion: Mr. McKay moved for a negative determination, seconded by Mr. Shae. <br /> Vote unanimous 4-0 <br /> 6:12 p.m. Eugene and Nancy S. Smargon, 172 Ninigret Avenue. <br /> Proposed tree removal and tree pruning. RDA <br /> Resource Area: Buffer zone to Land Under Water bodies and Waterways (Johns <br /> Pond) <br /> Nancy Smargon, homeowner, explained they would like to cut down branches off of two <br /> trees that are blocking the sun over the deck and causing mildew. They would also like <br /> to cut back one large tree to below the house level since the tree is leaning towards the <br /> house. <br /> The Agent stated he met with the homeowners and viewed the property. He noted the <br /> trees on the photos. One large tree is proposed to be cut into a snag because it is <br /> leaning towards the house. He noted the shading that is happening on the deck and the <br /> owner is asking for maintenance pruning in that area. It is taking care of a hazardous <br /> situation and opening up the canopy which is not vista pruning. <br /> No comments from the public <br /> Motion: Mr. McKay moved for a negative determination, seconded by Mr. Shaw. <br /> Vote 40 <br />
