Mr. Bunker noted the driveway has been reconfigured to save some of the trees and the trees have been marked in the field and on the revised plan. The Agent stated at the last meeting it wasn't clear to him what trees were remaining and what trees are to be removed and it is now much clearer on the plan. He requested wood planking be put around the trees that are close to the construction site to prevent scouring. No comments from the public.

He referred to the proposed project at the Club at New Seabury which involves the permitting of mitigation plantings as a result of a violation. He stated he has gone out and surveyed the area as requested by the board at the previous hearing. They were asked to put together a mitigation plan based on similar species that were cleared. He identified about 50 different shrubs and 3 trees that were cut down and will be planting 15 red cedar, 10 black oak, 10 chock cherry, 15 white oak, 15 Sassafras and 10 beach plum. They are planting 75 different species in this area. It is basically the reforestation of the maritime habitat that was out there. At the last hearing, the board allowed them to spot treat some of the invasives and they are also treating the poison ivy. The area has been left alone and is starting to regrow vegetation and the bank is stable. Also included in the report is three years of monitoring with 90% success rate to be done by a certified qualified outside consulting firm. The plantings will be planted in,between what is there. They will try and do the plantings by hand, but if they bring anything in there it will be very small machinery. They will provide temporary irrigation if needed. The Agent suggested putting out some signage for the golfers so they don't tread on the new plantings. The Agent recommended to Close and Issue. No comment from the public.
