Mas hpee Conservation Commission Meeting of February , 1987 Page 9. Mrs . Jacobson requested a further discussion of the Mi rl i ss project. She stated we all sat here and discussed this and you (John) knew what our intent was and all of a sudden the whole thing is changed and he is doing exactly what he warts over there, i do not like h-i s letter implying about certain Individuals and i ave up on the thing because he had been told he could go ahead and that was not the intention that this commission was giving in the order of Conditions and if you (John) had felt that the order of Conditions was not viable, then we should have discussed i t more. John stated he said so at the time. Mr. Govoni was told to remove all spoil from feet and was never told the pile on the side could stay. He came i n, we sat and I explained the order and told hire, 7 feet around all that fill should b removed and revegeta ted . He asked what he could do to revegeta to and was told a ground cover, covered by a mulch. That is what he told me he was go i rig to do. Mrs. Jacobson stated , he hasn ' t done that and yet he's going right on with the job. The letter only deals with #9 and #1 1 and #12 are pertinent. They do riot have a correct order of condi tions to record. Concerning Mr. Ha rr i ngtn ' s remark, she advised she did not stop the work, but said to the workers that ,he didn' t think they ought to be doing this because they were wasting their time. She told them that she did not have the right to toil them to stop work but that she knew what was in the order of conditions and recommended they 90 talk to someone to f i n d out about it John stated that was not what he was told by there. There was discussion of this matter , as in the E.L. Shore project, where parties with an order of conditions have gone to the Building Inspector and have accepted his okay as being for Conservation aiso. Ms Behrrnan dictated a memo to be sent to the Building Department. It was agreed the letter submitted by Mr. Govoni is disputed by some- members of the corm i ss i on as not being an ab5ol u to factual account of what happened . Ther- are- her-_are other vers ions . Join .Mated he would like to initiate a new poi icy on violations . As written now, there is a $300 maximum fine for a bylaw violation if not corrected immed- iately. mored- iatoly. He will consult with Town Counsel to see if it is possible to levy the $300 firye for every day the violation persists of ter the ten day l imilt al lowed i to correct t t. It was agreed this shou l'd go forward. There was discussion of a State fine. John will make an appointment with Town Counsel for next Thursday. Concerning Berko r i t , Ms Beh rman advised according to the building permits on file with the Build i ng Inspector , they did not exceed 0% of the structure. Therefore, Mr. Berkow i t ' s renovations do not constitute a new structure. The meet i ng was adjourned at 1 1 : oo p.m. Respectful l submitted, Jr Diana M. Lund Recording Secretary
