Apri 1 , 1990 <br /> Page 140 <br /> Ms Behrman stated their assertion confused her, that this <br /> mown area was of more value to wildlife habitat than the <br /> natural succession that would take place if they ceased to <br /> rnow. Also , they are taking out cover with the Autumn olive . <br /> Mr. Abrahamson stated there is no problem with leaving them <br /> there . his Behrman suggested substituting something else . <br /> -fir. Abrahamson gave an overview: The pond, in addition to a <br /> natural resource, is a recreational resource . They would <br /> like to put in a small dock; the water is approximately <br /> feet deep. They propose a defined accessp stnedut path <br /> with railroad ties to prevent erosion, to the pond ' s edge for <br /> skating. Spartina is proposed alone the edge of the <br /> waterway.

It was a callous <br /> mistake . <br /> Ms Behrman asked Mr. Zeppenfeld to - define "nuisance <br /> vegetation ' . <br /> fir. Zeppenfeld stated, in the case of the bridle path, it <br /> would be limbs in the %,lay of moving down the pate and as far <br /> s the pond function for recreational purposes , the grass <br /> g tting real high becomes a nuisance and they want to keep <br />
