Certificates of Compliance
Neal Satran (2007) 60 Pershing Lane
COC request for an Order to construct an enclosed porch in place of a deck. This Order was approved with a Mitigation Planting Plan for the top of the coastal bank by Wilkinson Ecological Design who did not do the planting. A letter was sent to Mr. Satran in September 2009 detailing the differences between the approved Landscaping Plan and the plantings that were installed.
1. The accepted Plan has 7 species of plants from a “Seaside Wildflower Plant Mix”. Only 3 different kinds of plants were put in the planting area and only 1 of these, (Panicum virgatum) is the same as the species in the approved Planting Plan. A different species of goldenrod and of aster has been planted.
2. The plants are too far apart and more are necessary to fill out the bed.
3. The planting bed does not extend to the previously existing vegetated buffer as shown on the Site Plan. There is still a mowed area in the 10’ buffer.
4. The planting area was to be 10-feet wide. It is only 10-feet wide at the widest point and then tapers to only a few feet at the ends.
William Cumiskey (1991) 11 River View Way
COC request for an Order for an existing dock with some proposed changes. Part of the current dock is the original design and part is the proposed design. We have a letter in the file that the Waterways Regulation Program does not require an amended License for the current dock configuration. The floats will not extend out into the channel any further than the approved float configuration.

This request by Ray Dobson to have trees pruned on other properties (Town of Orleans, Orleans Yacht Club, and Flander-Siems) for a better view was heard last week and held for more information on pruning a small maple tree. This tree will not be pruned at this time. Work by Bartlett Tree Experts.
Carolyn Iliff 33 Bufflehead Lane
Request to remove 4 red cedars and prune the dead wood off of another one. One of these cedars is the larger of only two trees directly between the house and Nauset marsh. The other 3 trees are to the left along the lot line. These trees are in Land Subject to Coastal Storm Flowage and near the beach and an intermittent stream. There was an AR to reduce these trees in height for the neighbor behind in 2008 and to remove 4 other trees. No new trees are being planted.

Request to remove bittersweet, honeysuckle and English Ivy next to the fence by the dwelling.
