'r <br /> r <br /> Ashumet-Johns Pored Assoc zon <br /> i <br /> . ; Box 1002, M02649 <br /> September 15, 19$9 <br /> Mai hp a Conservation Commission <br /> ahpee Town Hall <br /> Ma hpee, MA 02649 <br /> To Whom it May Concern <br /> As President and spokesperson for the seventy plus ma be r s of <br /> the Ashumet Johns Pond Association; I wish to express our <br /> objection to the erection of a sixty foot (plus/minus) break- <br /> wall <br /> reak:- <br /> a11 into which twenty p1 rims yards of cement was <br /> poured by Mr. Robert F. Spousta on the shore of Johns Pond , <br /> It is my understanding that the Conservation Commission was <br /> not notified of Mr. Spousta's intent. I have been under the <br /> impression that no construction can be attempted within one <br /> hundred feet of wetlands without Conservation Commission <br /> approval . <br /> The present structure stands in approximately six inches of <br /> water, It is our belief, that our pored and wildlife already <br /> in peril , are further Jeopardized by actions such as this. <br /> We feel that the ponds' natural currents, necessary for its <br /> cleansing and life itself are adversely affected b <br /> breakwalls of this type. <br /> Mr. Spousta is now coring before the Commission4 requesting <br /> permission to construct an additional break all . As initial <br /> construction of the first wall was completed with no <br /> Conservation Commission approval , the question i , not <br /> whether permission houId be granted to construct an <br /> additional wall , but whether the first wall should be allowed <br /> to remain , <br /> As an organization committed to the preservation of both <br /> hue t and Johns Ponds, we hope that Commission members will <br /> not approve this or any similar actions <br /> Thank you for your attention to this matters <br /> n <br /> Ric and Mail ly <br /> President <br /> shumet/Johns F" nd Association <br /> RWM =1g-m <br />
