Hi Jeffrey
The feedback I received from the Commission was that the 35 foot no-disturb zone should be restored with native
plantings.
Thanks

Kelly,
Thank you for meeting with us at 300 Long Pond Road yesterday. It was a pleasure meeting you and I look forward to
working with you to resolve the compliance issues for this property.
Please find attached a pdf file containing two colored versions of the proposed plan.
SK-1 shows the removal of the patio, relocation of the fence and approximately 1,900 square feet of plantings using a
line 5 feet landward of the existing patio as you suggested in the field.
SK-2 shows the removal of the patio, relocation of the fence and approximately 2,550 square feet of plantings if the
Commission required the restoration out to the full 35-foot no touch zone.
Sk-1 is obviously more desirable than SK-2 for the homeowner as it does provide some limited back yard area.
Both version show a proposed 4-foot wide path through the buffer area.

Please have an informal discussion with the Commission to see if they might accept the restoration shown in SK-1 to
comply with the outstanding Order of Conditions 86-1645.
We understand that any approvals for the proposed addition would include a condition to perform the restoration work
prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or prior to construction, as the Commission would determine.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Please reply if you have any questions or need more information.
Sincerely,
