Staff present: Robert Sherman, Agent; Frances Wise, Board Secretary Jack Fitzsimmons, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 6;55 p.m. Public Comment: Non-Hearing Agenda y�ry Old Business: villowbend Vista Pruning Plan. Bob reported that he received this request for pruning which involves one fairway on the golf course. At the time when the applicant received approval of the plan} they weren't prepared to rale a judgment as to how much they wanted to cut before the golf course was constructed, and we did not issue an Order of Conditions to stipulate the time frame. We expected the plan to be in a lot sooner, but evidently the Cape Cod Commission held it up. Bob's question is if the Cape Cod Commission and Mike don't have any problem with it, do we let thea do it now. Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to approve the request subject to the approval of Michael Talbot and confirmation of the Cape Cod Commission's approval with the stipulation that the word be done by Apri I nth. 2. Approval of.January 16, 2003 minutes. Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to approve the subject minutes. 3. URS. Bob reviewed that at the February 27th meeting, the Commission approved a total of up to $1,700 to replace the fish ladder and eater control structure and get bids for the work, and he recommended that we tale it from available funds, which include the Conservation Bog Maintenance account. He said it was originally budgeted as part of a Town meeting article where we had $90,000 to do this work, but extra design work was ,mandated,by some changes which the Division of Marine and Fisheries wanted, and he thought it was wise to have URS supervise the bids. Lotion made, seconded and unanimously carried to authorize the Conservation Agent to sign the documents for this additional expenditure.
