Mail:
We received a forest cutting plan from Randy Vilandre, Forester, for the landowner Paul Gillis of 58 North Wales Rd.
We received from Gary Barker of 11 Pine Tree Dr., DEP File #184-0245 a receipt from the Registry of Deeds certifying that his Certificate of Compliance has been filed, thereby lifting the lien on his property.
We received from John Cullen of 4 Collette Dr., Map R14-A-08 a Procedure Sheet requesting our permission to have Northern Tree cut down and remove (10) ten dead or declining red pine trees. Photos were submitted but no trees were marked. Northern Tree was notified that the trees have to be marked and a site visit has to be done prior to any cutting. On a separate note, the Cullens questioned the procedure for “an additional dead tree on the Right of Way next to our house”. Northern Tree was informed that they need to get a written permission from individuals who have deeded rights to the right of way before cutting the tree.
We received a Notice of Intent from William Magnotta to rebuild an existing retaining wall along the waterfront at 39 Vinton Rd.
7:25 p.m. Carol, Secretary of Green Hill Engineering gave us a Notice of Intent for Wayne and Kim Harrington to repair a septic system at 79 Maybrook Rd. and a Request for Certificate of Compliance for Alan Burrill of 26 Stony Hill Rd. whose DEP file #184-0239’s project was to repair a septic system.
