Attorney Mills said the intention was to construct a stone wall'in natural sloping area.but evidently contractor cut the natural bank and then got notice to stop cork because evidently permit is required to do this work and that's why they are here. Mr. Mills sand they wanted to d p the stone gall: 1 for aesthetics; and 2 to-draw-more attention to-the facility because at every funeral people have to call because they get lost. The people evidently make a wrong turn down Algonquin and then have to cross a dangerous intersection at 151 to get to the funeral home. -Mr. Mills explained part of the problem is GIS systems and map quest error in their instructions and Mr. Chapman is in touch with there to correct their instructions. Regarding the stone gall placement, Mr. Mills said today-he can't tell whether they're encroaching into the 50 foot buffer to a wetland-resource area and he can't tell whether or not they are in the 5 foot buffer to 151. Dreg McManus explained under the Chapter 172 Wetland by-law it is 100 foot setback from the wetland so definitely they're in the buffer zone. Drew said he doesn't see much impact because it is essentially a drainage wetland (also known as Isolated Land Subject to Flooding). He said they would need a permit before any work is done (and they will need to retro- permit for work already carried out within the buffer zone). Tone Fudaia commented that they already cleared within the natural buffer zone; the whole project could not be done under zoning; they should be cited with zoning by-law violation. Bill Chapman said that ever funeral they have someone calls that they are lost. He said they#ve put p up signs and he requested Google/map quest to correct instructions. Torn O'Hara said why not move the sign and re-establish vegetation that was there. IIIb. Mills said very little vegetation was there to begin with. ToniO'Hara suggested that maybe relocate sign into buffer area to get better visibility and put vegetation the way it was,
