Inland Wetland By-Laws – Review of Revisions
The June 7th revised by-laws had minor points to touch on as revisions. They were as follows:
Page 4, Section 6.1 – bulleted items – there should be no semi colon on the first line, there is none on the rest.
Page 5, Section 8.1 – the last sentence should take out the word OF and replace it with IF, to read “The chair may call an unscheduled meeting if he/she deems it necessary.
Page 5, Section 8.3 – the last sentence – the word Town Clerk should be capitalized.
Page 5, Section 8.4 – the wording of this section should be improved.
Page 6, Section 9.2 – the second sentence should have the word THE inserted to read “The order of business on the agenda….”
Page 6, Section 10.1 – how do we determine when it will be in the public interest? The first sentence should read “…..when it decides that such hearing is warranted by significant public interest.”
Page 7, Section 10.3 – the second sentence, remove the word “however” and start it with “A hearing may……”.
Page 7, Section 10.5 – remove the last sentence “The chairman……”.
Page 7, Section 10.8 – the second sentence insert the word “ON”, to read “Before commenting on the matter……”.
Page 9, Section 16.2 – is okay.
MOTION: To approve the By-Laws including the changes made at tonight’s meeting.

STATUS REPORTS
71 Abbe Road –
The piles in the side yard on existing wetlands. Many years ago the owner went through this and he is looking for his records. The soil scientist was Earl Beebe.
Main Street (Warehouse Point) – Springdale Cemetery –
The Town is in violation for dumping. The remains from digging graves, clippings and people bringing in flowers, etc, are being dumped. The dumping has turned into a warm pile leaning on the slope. We came to an understanding that there would be no dumping signs put up and a barrier to stop people from discarding old flowers, etc. The maintenance and lawn mowing is subcontracted out.
46 Newberry Road –
The piles are part of the landscaping business. The owners are requested to come up with a new site plan showing the wetlands. There is a small area in the front with an existing shed on it, but the rest are way in the back. We will provide a plan to show where all wetlands are. Still looking for an updated site plan.
CONFERENCES/SEMINARES/TRAINING
No discussion.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion: To adjourn the meeting at 8:00 p.m.
