Mr. Gurnee discussed if mitigation should be required when trees are removed. <br /> The Agent noted the mitigation regulation gives guidance language. We would <br /> have to come up with a calculation formula. He said he could ask other towns <br /> what they do for mitigation when a hazardous tree is removed. It could be done <br /> on a case by case basis. It was noted that there is a cost to have trees taken <br /> down and it could be discretionary as to what is considered acceptable hazard <br /> without mitigation and hazard tree removal that should trigger mitigation. The <br /> Agent will get info from other towns and come up with some possible ideas and <br /> figure out a solution. <br /> Discussion on Regulation 30 (Prevention of Pollution, Effect of Nutrient <br /> Loading on Water Bodies) <br /> The Agent asked that everyone take a look at regulation 30. He said when he and <br /> Mark took a look at this regulation, it is very difficult to apply in reality. The <br /> regulation seeks to limit the amount of pollution from development on single family <br /> home lots by restricting the overall input of Nitrogen from septic systems, <br /> impervious surfaces and stormwater runoff. There is a nitrogen calculation sheet <br /> going along with it. The Agent asked that they take a look at the regulation for <br /> further discussion. <br /> Mr: Anderson announced he will be stepping back from being Chairman of the <br /> Commission to a regular member. He will remain as Chairman until the <br /> commission reorganizes. <br /> Motion: Mr. Gurnee moved to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Rogers. Vote <br /> unanimous. 5-0 Meeting adjourned 7:55. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> J y neault <br /> Recording Secretary <br />
