r � <br /> THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS <br /> DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ! <br /> t > STATE HOUSE • BOSTON 02133, <br /> "1 SVe" QQ., <br /> l' <br /> ROBERT H. QUINN <br /> ATTORNEY GENERAL <br /> October 15, 1971 <br /> f <br /> Mrs . Bernice L. Grant <br /> Town Clerk v� <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts <br /> Dear Mrs. Grant: <br /> I enclose the amendment to general by-laws adopted <br /> under Article 12 and the amendment to zoning by-laws <br /> adopted under Article 15 of the warrant for the special <br /> town meeting held August 4, 1971 together with the map per- <br /> raining to Article 15, with the approval of the Attorney <br /> General endorsed thereon except that in Article 15 5 3 .6 <br /> the words "All land below the elevation of 12 feet above <br /> mean sea level" are stricken and deleted therefrom. <br /> The zoning map you submitted had no Flood Plain <br /> Districts indicated thereon. A reference to mean sea level <br /> without an accompaning map leaves a property owner at his <br /> peril to determine if his land is in a flood plain district <br /> and he may have to hire a civil engineer to ascertain if <br /> he is within the district. <br /> In order to include lands within your Flood Plain �r <br /> District, a future town meeting will have to adopt an amend- <br /> ment to your by-laws and a map showing the boundary of said <br /> district. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> 1 <br /> i <br /> HENRY O'CONNELL, J . <br /> Assistant Attorney G neral f <br /> HFO'C:cf <br /> Enclosure <br /> h <br />
