Conservation Commission <br /> February 3, 199+ <br /> Page 3. <br /> Mr. Handy stated it isimportant for maintenance purposes; they run into problems <br /> with the other part of the bog that they cannot get all the way across. <br /> Mr. Sherman stated the reason he is trying to separate these two areas out, in <br /> teras of discussion, is because he thinks most of this work, in terms of regrading, <br /> could be done without a filing. <br /> Mr. Handy advised it is a very narrow dike in there and is not usable the way it _Is, <br /> it would have to be widened., on the other end it doesn't even get into wet areas. <br /> Mr. Sherman stated the access road which existed ends and to go forward with an <br /> access road would take a filing in his opinion. The difference between what is <br /> allowable under the regs, what Brian would like to do and the multi-faceted charge <br /> g <br /> of the Commission to protect other interests, other than agriculture. He would <br /> like to look at this with Don Liptack, Steve and. Brian one more time before making <br /> a decision. <br /> Mr. Sherman recommended to the Commission to not put an access road around this <br /> because it would necessitate cutting into a- very steep bank, causing the loss of <br /> edge habitat, not in the west interest of wildlife habitat interest to continue <br /> all around, even though 'it would benefit Brian. <br /> Mr. Desrosiers asked if would be possible to break through the sand bank <br /> for access, as an interim solution? Mr. Sherman stated that would not solve <br /> matters; he can get in,` right across the dike. <br /> Mr. Sherman stated what Brian might find to be a great advantage to him in bog <br /> maintenance might not be something the Commission desires to do when counter- <br /> balanced against the other values. He questioned how manor of the Commissioners <br /> had seen what is being discussed. <br /> Mrs. Ferriday asked as a question for procedures, assuring he put the road <br /> around the whole bog, would he put a retaining wall to hold that bank? <br /> Nor. Hander stated he would have to regrade it. It really is nothing more than <br /> he has done all the war around the southern end of it, widening roads. <br /> Mrs. Ferriday stated but that road doesn't exist; in order to keep it from <br /> eroding, he would have to do considerable work up to that. Mr. Hander stated <br /> he would have to do that anywhere, he can't have material getting into the bog, <br /> that's against his .best interest, <br /> d <br /> ■ <br /> Mr, Sherman stated ,that is the point., to grade a. road around here would cause <br /> considerable disruption because it is a steep'slope and to regrade it -to prevent <br /> s lumping, it would have to be regraded a fair distance back. Mr. Handy disagreed. <br /> Ms Lanni <br />
