Page 2 Hearing of Marvin Glick Fl`ichael Jones was present to represent Mr. Glick with regard to a porch which was built on his hone located at 64 Keel day without a filing with the Gomm i s s i o n o Mr. ,hones explained that a year ago approval was given for the house and he thought that approval was also given for the deck at that time. He explained that the dei was put on in the rear of the house and that the shape of the deck follows New Seabury' s 50 foot cons ervat i-ox easement. He said that once it was brought to their attention, they remembered that the deck was not allowed under the original carder. The original order of conditions was reviewed with Mr. Tones which stipulates "no deck allowed". Pauline commented that she did an -site inspection and noticed that the clearing of the lot was done right down to the easement* Mr. Tones com- mented that that may have been done in con3unction with the pool. March Dardano recalled that when Mr. Glick applied for the pool on the property, it was to be a choice between the deck or the pooh.. The Board reviewed the'-- filing for the pool and no deck was shown on the plan. Mr. Jones said that he did not handle the filing for the pool. It was also noted that the corner of the house was angled on the plan submitted with the pool and different on the plan being submitted for the deck. Pauline told Mr. Jones that when a filing is made with the Conservation Commission, it becomes a legal document and it is supposed to show exact measurements. Hearing was taken under advisement. Quas hnet Valle Count y_ l ub Tom Devane met with the Commission and reiterated ghat was discussed at the last meeti g with reference to the plan for the Quashnet Valley Country Club being changed to push several holes into the uplands. He said that in doing so, they had to cross town property. Mr. Devane explained that they originally asked. the town for an easement to go over town property and in turn they would give the town an easement of 2, 000 feet along the Quashnet River. He said that it was their under- stading that the town would rather have a lana swap .instead of ars easemne t which is okay with therm. He asked for the Commission' s endorsement of the project. Pauline suggested that he explain it to the town at town meeting of September 12 just as he explained it to the Commission. She said that she liked the Fact that it abuts newer acquired town boas. Selectman Hanson asked ghat sort of acreage he was talking about. V11r. Devane said that it was about seven acres. Sel. Hansom asked what he pro- poses in place of that? Mr. Devane said that 9 acres consisting of 100 ft. on either side of the river and running 2FOOO feet along the river. Selectman Hansom commented that there was nothing that could be done with the property as they were under the restrictions of the Conservation Com- mission. He a.s].'r-ed what the town was to gain: r.1r. Devane ane e: plained that they cannot do anything 100 feet on either side of the river; however, the piece of land would be a place where the people could fish and the Audobon Society could use the area as they have already been doing.
