C4Y"drv�1FM:F"�'' <br />16 Great Neck Road North <br />'btashpee, Aassachusetts 02649 <br />FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Programs require this. Some sections of the building code <br />were in serious conflict so that has all been rectified. <br />MOTION: <br />Mr. Richardson moved to submit the Floodplain Bylaw amendments to the Select Board for the <br />recommendation it be placed on the next Town Meeting Warrant as presented. Seconded by Mr. <br />Balzarini. All in favor. <br />Affordable and Workforce Housing <br />ADU Workshop <br />Ms. Waygan reported that HAC and Arden Russell, who works with them on helping people create <br />ADU's in their homes throughout the Cape, want to do a joint workshop in October. She got a question <br />from a local resident and she said maybe there should be a session for everybody who is interested to <br />come and learn from HAC and Ms. Russell. Ms. Waygan noted Mr. Lehrer could get the Building <br />Commissioner to attend. If someone had a house specific question they could get answers. This could <br />pose as a presentation / workshop for anyone interested in ADU. <br />Clean Water Initiative <br />Ms. Faulkner researched tree bylaws. She is hopeful that she and Mr. Lehrer can come up with one. <br />There are many tree bylaws particularly pertaining to residential use. The purpose is to preserve and <br />protect trees on residential lots during big demolition or construction. This came to her attention in part <br />because of Rt. 151. They would have to designate areas where trees could be protected. There would <br />be a mitigation if they had a bylaw and a tree was cut down, the tree would then be replaced or the <br />person would pay a fine to the town. Knowing a little about trees, a single tree releases 250-400 gallons <br />of water per day. They provide habitat for birds, remove carbon from soil, give out clean air, and create <br />a canopy. The feeling of trees is beautiful especially with a canopy. <br />Mr. Lehrer spoke to Ms. Waygan about this previously from the Natural Systems workshop. The town <br />could invest in a shade tree program where they identify sites along public roadways for shaped trees. <br />They could require the DPW as they remove trees along roadways they replace trees within the road <br />layout. <br />Ms. Faulkner noted if it were public there would be a need a Tree Warden. <br />Mr. Lehrer commented the Tree Warden falls under the job description of the Conservation Agent. <br />Ms. Faulkner asked if the Board liked the idea of the tree bylaw. <br />Ms. Waygan commented that when people see lots being clear cut and if in violation, now is the time. <br />It's important to sequester carbon with the trees. As you drive around town, people have been <br />generous leaving trees up, it's beautiful. <br />20 <br />
