Diane Weismann, homeowner, stated the proposed project is to upgrade and enlarge an existing two season porch into a four-season porch. She said three trees need to be removed. One tree is rotting and the other two is at risk of falling onto the house. For mitigation, they would plant native shrubs in the back of the property to replace the lost wildlife habitat value of the trees removed. The Agent noted the resource areas and where Red Brook runs in the back of the property. All the proposed work is taking place within the 50 to 100 foot setback. He noted the trees that are to be removed and recommended their removal. He suggested he can work with the homeowner to come up with some sort of mitigation to do some buffer planting next to the wetland.
