MASHPEE CONSERVATION COMMISSION Minutes of April 21, 2005 Public Hearing Mashpee Town Hall Meeting Room 1 Commissioners present: Jack Fitzsimmons, Chairman, Michael Talbot, Vice Chairman, Len Pinaud, Clerk, Lloyd Allen, Cass Costa and Ralph Shaw Staff present: Steven Solbo, Assistant Agent, and Frances Wise,Board Secretary. Jack Fitzsimmons, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 6:50 p.m. Public Hearing: 6:50 p.m., 33 Shoestring Bay Road, (revocation of vista pruning as an approved activity under AAOC 43-1723). Steve described the violation. Tom Jalowy, representing the applicant, said he walked the site and has prepared a mitigation plan. Ralph Cataldo said he had knee surgery at the time the work was done and wasn't able to supervise the pruning. Mike said it is Town policy that when the mitigation planting has restored the area, they can come back to the Commission and refile a Notice of Intent for vista pruning privileges. Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to revoke the vista pruning as an approved activity under OOC 43-1723. Non-Hearing Agenda Old Business: 1. RFAA SE 43-2307, 123 Tide Run. Steve described the request and recommended approval. Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to approve this request for an administrative approval. 2. RFAA(SE 43-2191)Fred Glass, 41 Waterline Drive. Steve described the project and recommended approval. Mike said in order to construct, they will have to work within the naturally vegetated buffer zone and need a path around the deck in order to maintain it, and he's not prepared to accept that. Also, the plan is not adequate—it doesn't show where the work limit is and it should be 10 scale. The area will have to be staked, as this is not a minor change. Mike also thinks it doesn't qualify as an administrative approval, but should be an amended order. Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to deny this administrative approval. L
