Tolun of cl:ffl a 5 e P F, P. 0, BOX 1108 MASHREE, MA 02649 PLANNING BOARD MINUTES : 4/17/85 P. 10 they did it but that was never in there . I think that we have a pro- fessional design review board and a professional architect and a professional landscape architect who are quit,e capable of what 's needed in eacl. situation and you 're imposing a very rigid set of disciplines here that says we have to leave the natural vegetation in each case and that 's much -too rigid . It could end up being much more ugly. All you would get is a 20' strip of natural vegetation and you wouldn' t give the Design Review Commit-tee the opportunity to . . . Mr. Fudala: We have another public hearing on this unfortunately on May Ist so we have another couple of weeks to do some-thing on it . Mr. Marsters : If you took the commercial out of there it would be ok for now and then we could study the commercial for later. Mr . Fudala : Even in the case where the requirement for planting trees has been imposed it just hasn't been done . That becomes an enforcement problem. If you had it natural in the first place you wouldn't have the mish mash of each individual landscape architect 's idea of what should be on 28 . A whole row of different setups . Then you don't have the enforcement problem involved . You don't know if the tree 's going to grow, do we charge the guy for planting new trees and he puts out there 2 ' high sticks . It just creates a horror of problems and ruins the attractiveness of the town, 'This is really to protect a lot of the tourist industry we have now. Mr. Miarsters : It sounds good but your article wouldn't do it . In fact your article would cause the resignation OfIthe Design Review Committee I 'm sure . P"Ir. Fudala: Well_ that 's fine . Mr. Marsters : Your're stating cases , The Design Review Committee had no jurisdiction over or they haven't been completed, one or the other. A jump all -the way with this is going -too far. It would make matters worse . Tvir. Fudala: Like I said we have 2 weeks to work on it . I can modify it if you want within 2 weeks and come back on May 1 . 1 know it depends on what you 're hying to accomplish but you put- it all together and you get a mish mash which isn't appropriate Nrc . Dubin : it 's an interesting new idea . I don't -think anybody's raised the idea "before , creating some kind of strip of natural vegetation. Considering it 's not what we have now, would it not be better if there was a thin strip of natural vegetation in front of the pool .
