8:30 a.m. Call to Order
Request to Change Planting Plans
Martin and Elaine Benante (2008) 121 Lake Drive
A Planting Plan to improve the naturalized area was approved as mitigation on this Order for an addition within the ACEC. A new Planting Plan with a new Landscaper, Peter Due of Estates Landscape and Maintenance, has been proposed. No large trees, other than the large locust removed for the addition, will be removed with the new Plan. Bittersweet, multiflora rose, autumn olive, privet, and ivy will be removed and/or wiped with an herbicide. The new Plan includes removal of ornamentals and invasive species in two additional areas: next to the house and to the west. It also includes a new walkway and the rebuilding of a dog run. Heather is proposed near the dwelling which is not a native species. There are some young oaks, bayberry, and cherries in this area. The new Plan differs from the approved Plan with shrubs, instead of small trees
and shrubs on the bank with the revetment. There are also young oaks on this bank, and a cherry, and several cedars. 7 red cedars are proposed to the east in the new Plan vs. 13 small trees and 10 shrubs on the approved. The understory will be planted with groundcovers and beach grass on the first bank.
