i I I I i I New Business: I 1. Lori recommended that when the Town is mailing tax bills to residents, they include a letter of information regarding the resource area that would apply to any resident, because it might decrease violations. I.e., those who live within 100 ft. of the flood zone would receive a letter advising therm that before they do any work on their property (like cutting), they should first contact the Conservation commission. Bob said the Flood Zone is a good place to start because it's the one least understood. Lori said Eric in Tom Fudala's office is working on a project and he already has a flood zone and 100 ft. buffer database. 2. Bill Fisher— Santuit Fiver Flume. Bob said we have a serious and immediate situation regarding the Santuit River Flume— it's about ready to cage. He would like to have Bill Fisher evaluate it, as his specialty is darns arra the like. Bob recommended that we pay for this from Conservation funds, because even though we don't own.the land, it is a vital watershed. chapter 48 doesn't allow us to spend money on watershed issues, but Bob has been assured by Dave Leveille of the Santuit Fond Committee that if they can't come up with the money, Bob will get money r from the Land Bank Fund and reimburse them at the net Town meeting. Bill Fisher will first give us an estimate for his services. Motion rmade, seconded and unanimously carried to approve the use of Conservation I funds to hire Bill Fisher as a consultant on the Santuit Fiver Flume. r 3. Regulations Committee.e. Michael said his company has done filings with many other Commissions on the Cape where the applicants are required to supply two copies for the Commission and one for each of the Commissioners, so that the Commissioners have the opportunity to review there ahead of time. In some cases, the applications have to be submitted two o weeks before the hearings to allow time for the Commissioners to review there. This is true with Falmouth, Yarmouth, Chatham, Welfleet and other places. He said Notice of Intents can be rather complex, and it would be nice to have a chance to look at therm ahead of time. It was agreed to require applicants to supply seven copies of Notices of Intent in the future. It was also agreed that FDA's and Amended Orders are usually routine, so the extra copies will not b required for them. I i Hearin enda 7:00 p.m., Paul F.
