Conservation Comm3-ssion February 18, 1993 Page 8. Ms Lannik stated she thought what Bob was saying is we should not spend our time reviewing it until we have the Board of Health's. . . . . . .Mr. Sherman stated, until we have a copy of the same plan that they send the Board of Health and than whatever Order of Conditions we ultimately issue, we have to have their sign-off so he dick not think there was much point in going into the septic tonight, Ms Lannik stated it would be a wash of everybody's time, Mr. Slavinsky did not have a problem with that. He stated that Mr. Cardillo is here and he thinks that the creosote walls that are gone and the walls that are still there, the landscaping, proposed landscaping plan that is bung submitted, Mr. Cardillo right be able to answer your questions, better than he could. Nis Lannik suggested starting with one thing at a time because the issues are confusing. Mr. Sherman stated he was prepared to make some statements as to where we stand. Ms Lannik thought that to be appropriate. Mr. Sherman stated we are holding a hearing tonight because we had received a number Brom DBP and thought this was the proper thing to do after receiving a number as, legally, we should hold a hearing. We have required a number of things on the original_ enforcement order, which he will get to, and these were also reflected in the recent court order issued by the Barnstable Superior Court. One of things that we requested. was, other than the septic issue that we talked about, was a report or a plan from a landscape architect or a certified arborist addressing revegetation with appropriate iridigenous species and was to include, and this was from the original enforcement order that was issued in November, information aba:t saving the significant trees threatened by having their root systems covered with fill. I have received this plan dome by Ned Philie. As far as it goes; he has some good choices for vegetation at the bottom of the i slope; it did not however address what we asked for in our enforcement order which was some recorjnendation regarding the trees whose roots were impacted by the fill., so that is lacking. We had also required in our enforcement order, and the court order did too, some information on revegetation on the whole slope, not just the portion below the first wall which is still. there. As you all remember, the first wall. was -at the edge of the water and was removed. So, the plan, as of the moment, does not give us every- thing we need. The recommendations by Mr. Phi-lie that I see there seem to be quite justifiable but, for the record, we still lack information about the existing trees and how to sage them. we also need some information about the remaining slope. I did tell. Bob, Mr. Cardillo, that the rest of this would not have to be so intensively veg- etated as the lower part, but we do have to have some information about what -he recommends. Mr. Cardillo stated he has his sisters here tonight who own the property. He intro- duced Robin and Carmella Cardillo, He is just. trying to get thein l,nvolved in this and show them what 1s going on. They are the ones that can furnish the pictures of the property and what was existing before all this happened; you haven t gotten any pictures yet. Mr. Sherman stated that would be helpful. Nor. Cardillo stated he told her that you needed them and she is going to Federal gess them tomorrow. we do intend, I know wIre not showing anything here and obviously we do not intend to leave it like this but you probably want to see some- thing to the fact that we're not going' to leave it like this,, grass, trees, shrubs. Mr. Sherman stated we can't r-nake that decision until we see what pre-existing conditions were,
