The property.is on the landward side of the nearest resource area which is the East side of Great Firer and is well over 100' from the site but is within the flood zone. The landscape company did not realize that when they began work on the property until they had come in for permits and found out that they were In Conservation jurisdiction. The company thea stopped work and called in Mr.. Vaccaro to apply for a permit for an order of Conditions. Mr. Vaccaro explains that the only issue with this property is that when the house was initially permitted, the area for the proposed pool had actually been set aside as a "do not touch" area and again, the landscape company was not aware of that either when they did their clearing. Mr. Vaccaro asks if they could relocate the "do-not Ai Curb" area to.another area which is larger than ghat was previously designated. Agent McManus -describes the property and says that by looking at it, you would not have guessed that it was in a flood zone. The Agent states that he pulled the plan and saw that the area was supposed to remain naturally vegetated and explained it to the contractor. The contractors has a good working relationship with Conservation on past projects so this not something of a repeat offense or anything of that nature. It is alo'an easily finable situation with mitigation and moving it to a different location as the ground that was cleared really didn't have much for ground vegetation;just mostly spaced out trees and there is also no impact to the resource area. Mice Chairman Shag asks if a landscape plan should be submitted and.the Agent confirms that a plan-does need to be submitted. Mr. Vaccaro agrees and also m6ntions that they will be removing some of the ornamental shrubs to be replaced with good nature shrubs.
