6. Regulations Subcommittee. A. Bob said he received yesterday some revised regulations from the DEP. He doesn't think • any are very substantive, but he hasn't had a chance to read them to see how they mesh with ours. However, every time DEP changes a regulation, we have to change ours in response. B. Lori said the members have received draft of the lawn letter. The question is do we mail it to everyone or send an announcement to the Mashpee Enterprise. Perhaps we should start with the Captain's Row residents and get their response. She will put the lawn letter in the members' mail boxes again. Regarding the communication to owners who are in the flood and buffer zone, she thinks a postcard is too small to convey the message. The question is do we send it out in sections or all at once. She thinks there are about 3,000 names on the list. Bob said the only funding we have for this is the Conservation Trust Fund which was set up under Chapter 48C about 12 years ago with court settlement money which isn't going to be replenished. If we get a huge response, we could have a problem handling the inquiries since we will be without an Assistant Agent for a while. Stephanie has offered to answer the phone inquiries if we do get a huge response. Len suggested we put it on the website as well as in the newspaper. Stephanie suggested sending a postcard saying, "You are in the flood zone. Please come to the Conservation Commission for information about the rules and regulations which are jurisdictional for your property." We would then hand them the letter. Bob recommended first putting the information (including a map showing the flood and buffer zones) in the newspaper and on the website and see what response we get. New Business: None. Hearing Agenda 7:00 p.m. and 7:05 p.m., Babette E. Liebman, 86 Summersea Road (continued from 4/29/04). Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to approve a continuation to July 8th at 7 p.m. and 7:05 p.m., at the request of the applicant. 7:10 p.m., Anne LaGrippe, 15 Ocean Bluff (continued from 5/13/04). Bob said this has been held up because the applicant has not completed the revegetation for the violation. Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to approve a continuation to June 24th at 7:55 p.m., at the request of the applicant, and charge the applicant a fee for this continuance. 7:15 p.m., Edward Deveau, 188 Ninigret Avenue (remove existing septic, install Title V septic and pump with micro-fast denitrification unit). Dave Sanicki represented the applicant and described the plan. Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to approve the plan. 7:20 p.m., Michael and Mem Lee Bartolowmeo, 23 Spoondrift Way (re-grade and re-landscape driveway, stone walls and steps, extend two retaining walls and build patio).
