Hi Rick
A question that will come up tonight is what is proposed in the area where the invasives are being
treated? Are they planning on replanting? There will likely be more bank erosion if the bank is not
stabilized with other plantings. The invasives plan only covers the initial treatment.
Thanks

Hi Rick
I was expecting to receive a documented invasives management plan. Can you get Natural Tree & Lawn
Care to provide one for approval and to keep on file so that they can continue the treatment after the
Order is closed. The plan just needs to document the methods, herbicides, time frame/frequency of
treatment and their qualifications.
Thanks

Hi Kelly,
We are talking with Natural Tree & Lawn Care regarding the invasives management and they asked us to
check with you regarding the use of herbacides at this location. It would be a plant by plant application,
not large area application. We use them for treating knotweed at our office twice per year and it’s
working out well with no impact to adjacent plants. Could you let us know if this would be an acceptable
approach or if you prefer another approach?
I’m in the office if it’s easier to discuss. 781-585-2300
Thanks

Hi Kelly,
We saw the planting and the invasive treatment as two separate items. Jake is working with a separate
company to treat any phragmite or knotweed separate from the buffer plantings.

Hi Rick
The planting plan is fine though I was expecting an invasive removal plan also. You can go ahead with
the planting but note that invasives on the bank may still be an issue.

Hi Kelly,
We made the suggested change. Attached please find a planting plan for your review and approval. Now
that the summer is over, the owner is anxious to take advantage of the good planting weather. Please
let us know at your earliest convenience if this plan is acceptable so he can schedule the planting crew.

The Commission does not allow new rosa rugosa plantings. Rosa Virginia or rosa Carolina are good

Hi Kelly,
We have been working with Jake and his wife on plant selections. They like the look of the rosa rugosa
and we have had very good success with this for erosion control in similar settings.
Before we finish up a planting plan we just wanted to run this by you to make sure this plant will be
acceptable.
Thanks

Hi Kelly,
That is correct. It will take the owner a little time to coordinate the plan, your approval and scheduling
the landscaper so they are scheduling the actual work for September. All of the plants they are
considering are recommended for fall planting as well. We attached two versions showing the buffer
location, one full size plan and a second version that will print to letter size paper.
Thanks

Hi Rick

If the planting won’t be done until the late summer it would make sense to extend the current permit so
the work is permitted. I will add this back on the agenda and see if the Commission will review it under
the previous request for extension. I assume we won’t receive the landscape/invasives management
plan before the meeting? If not, are you able to update the permit plan to show an area of buffer
plantings with a note on the plan that a landscape plan will be submitted to the CA for approval? I can
then add it to the file as the approved plan.
Thanks

Hi Kelly,
Attached is the letter to summarize our conversation this morning.
We will leave it up to you whether the Order of Conditions should be allowed to expire or if you prefer
to extend it through the fall specifically for the planting (I know we didn’t specifically discuss this but just
wanted to share the afterthought – your call)
Either way the only work to be done will be the plantings, invasive management and erosion control.
Thanks

Hi Rick
I can arrange to have certified copies made of the two COCs and the Extension.
At the meeting on Thursday the Commission voted to deny the extension request. They would like a
new NOI filed detailing the remaining work to be carried out and would like the property owner to
address the unpermitted cutting of the bank vegetation. They also requested a six foot buffer zone of
native plantings be added along the bank and suggested the applicant address bank erosion issues by
managing invasive vegetation.
Thanks

Hi Kelly,
I checked our files and see the requests for COCs for SE83-1290 and SE83-1111 (I attached a copy of the
request for reference) but I don’t see the COC. I also checked the Registry of Deeds online and don’t see
these there either. Any chance you have an original still in your file or maybe we could get a certified
copy that the owner can pick up and record?
Jake – there were outstanding Orders of Conditions that were discovered during the hearing process.
