Certificates of Compliance
Preston and Birgitta Hay (2008) and Amended 289 South Orleans Road
COC request for an Order to move a house and put an addition on it. This Order was amended to allow fill to the drive area and put a pipe between the two wetlands. Water was running toward the pipe on the day of the site visit. They were required to vegetate and leave the original house site naturalized. This is a field area now without any pathways. They have planted several trees and shrubs that are doing well . There are no eroding bare areas but vegetation is sparse under the maples where there is heavy shade. Most of the open areas in the yard have seeded in with non-native plants. I did find some remnants of a native seed mix up near the street. There is a mulched area over the septic with some non-native shrubs.
