Tara Marden states that she is in agreement with the re-wording. Mr. Mills states that he would also <br /> agree to the revision. <br /> Agent McManus states there should be a formal.to vote to eliminate the current wording of enforcement, <br /> condition #4 and replace it with the revised wording as stated earlier. <br /> Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to adopt the modified wording of condition # <br /> as stated by the agent <br /> 5) Mark Toorney- Besse Bog Mill Pend <br /> Mark Toomey, a resident located near Besse Bog, presents a power point presentation that explains <br /> ground water levels in his residential location and how it is connected to the localized flooding of several <br /> homes. Mr. Toomey is asking for the town departments to create a protocol to maintain levels through <br /> all four seasons; such as DPW ensuring the culvert is inspected and kept clean as the Besse Bog <br /> culvert consistently gets dogged up with branches and rocks. Mr. Toomey says that they are working <br /> with the Division of urine Fisheries to develop a proactive seasonal protocol for monitoring and <br /> maintaining levels of Mahpee Fond and Mill Pond throughout the year. Agent McManus states that he <br /> will request DPW to clear the culvert ars this is a reasonable-request but Besse Bog is a vernal pool <br /> certified by the Natural Heritage and Endangered Species program and and there could be substantial <br /> state jurisdictional issues. The agent says his other concern is to strike a balance between the herring <br /> run and Mill Pond as Mill Pond has an average depth of ' and is the last staging area for the herring <br /> before their journey up the run to Ma tepee-Wakeby Pond. Fiver herring and alewife are protected <br /> species and should be a concern when changing the hydrology of Mill Pond into the Mahpee Fiver <br /> along with the Wampanoag ancestral harvesting rights of harvesting herring. Agent McManus states <br /> that he has spoken to an abutter on the other side of the culvert that also experiences flooding when the <br /> culvert is cleared. <br /> Agent McManus states that he will contact Mahpee DPW and also the Division of Marine Fisheries to <br /> try to find a solution. <br /> 6) 29 Frog Pond Close- Ellis Allen revised mitigation planting plan <br /> Resource Area: Coastal Bark <br /> Agent McManus states that 29 Frog Pond Close was an enforcement matter previously presented to <br /> which the mitigation planting was inadequate from a previous Order of Conditions. The agent had <br /> suggested an area for plantings so the owner has submitted a revised plan. The agent states that this <br /> entire matter was in the interest of releasing a Certificate of Compliance. Mr. Gurnee states than the <br /> area will result differently with low shrubs being planted and the agent states that saplings very rarely <br /> take hold on steep coastal banks) and that shrubs would have a higher probability of survival. <br /> Motion made, seconded and to accept the reprised plan for Frog Fond Clow <br /> The Grote was 4/1 with Mark Gurnee voting against <br /> 7) Discussion on memorial ideas for commissioners— Mr. Gurnee suggested an alternative approach to <br /> recognizing past commissioners that had served on the Conservation Board; as in a plaque of some <br /> sort. Mr. Shaw suggested a type of plaque that nares can be added to. Mr. Sweet says that criteria <br /> would need to be set for that hong; specifically the number of years served. <br /> Motion made, seconded and unanimously carried to adjourn the meeting at 7:33 pm. :38x031 <br /> Fespetfull submitted, <br /> Cris Carpenter <br /> Administrative Secretary <br /> 4 <br />
