' <br /> Pr 12-% <br /> 14 April 1984 <br /> The Board of Selectmen 'APR <br /> Town Ha 11 1 8o" <br /> fflashpee, Massachusetts 02549 <br /> Attentions Joseph Murphy, Executive Secretary <br /> Gentlemen% <br /> f <br /> Kindly accept my resignation, with much regret. From the Conservation <br /> Commission, effective 1 May 1984* <br /> For some time I have had serious reservations about tha "ommisssori•s <br /> ability to enforce its regulations. Frankly, there is little ability, <br /> and this- weakness is flagrantly exploited. Among those exhibiting <br /> this disregard of the Commission® s authority is New Seabury Corporation, � <br /> who, an this past Thursday bulldozes n—nd paved a road through the �. <br /> Plaushop Villaga sea bluff for their own use. This work was done b <br /> Bonito Contractors and was cas f'ul.ly obss� rved. NO request: to do this <br /> work was addressed to tie Commission __ it ce3 fainly would have been <br /> summarily denied. However, without. the poser to enforce regulations <br /> and to make inspections, theConservation Com�nissi.on is largely a token <br /> figurehead and those wishing e.o take advantage of such adopt the r <br /> atti.:udo that once something is dons, ghat can be dame about it.7 .. <br /> However, if Fines were imposed an a daily basis and if demands were <br /> made to restore areas to *.heir original conditions, without delay, <br /> the Commission would be respected and regulations would be upheld. <br /> Unfortunately, we conduct hearings for the individuals who respect <br /> the re guLn ti ons, worry about water run-off from a a�,proposed deck, <br /> write os iers of conditions, often super°ceded by €LQC, and, in essence, <br /> "fiddle while Rome burns. " I <br /> As a busy professional and commuter, the time I can volunteer to our <br /> town is limited. Volunteering time is often a hardship. and naturally, <br /> I want to feel it is put to good use. perhaps with this resignation <br /> Y can better use any time on another town board. <br /> Yours sincerely, <br /> Ma h Dardan RECEIVED <br /> P- 0.
