If you area out and about could you swing by 25 Powers Lane in West Yarmouth. We brought in sand and re-created the dunes. I'd like to get those areas plugged with America beach grass sometime in March. Could you just let me know we brought in enough sand to finish that up before we plug it. Many Thanks, Dan On February 6, 2020 at 2:25 PM "Daniel M. HOLMES" <dmholmes@comcast.net> wrote: Hi Kelly, Thanks for getting back to me. That sounds good to me. There were three trees removed between the house and the water that were severely damaged in the tornado. There is an abundance of vegetation in this area and the stumps from the trees removed should re-sucker as well. I'm confident this area will fully re-vegetate this spring. I'm expecting above average new growth this season with all the rain we have had. I will pass along the info regarding the open permits. I know they are aware of the one regarding the dock.

I don’t recall visiting this property but that doesn’t mean I haven’t! I do recall storm damage in this general area. How many trees were removed between the house and the water? If they are in the existing buffer then they may be able to just let the area fill in naturally with undergrowth. When they come before us we can include it in the review. On a different note – there are two open Orders for the house and the dock which will need to be closed out with Certificates of Compliance before any new permitting is requested. Let me know if you have any further questions.

HOLMES" <dmholmes@comcast.net> To: dbflett@comcast.net Date: January 29, 2020 at 2:19 PM Subject: Conservation Dept. Hey Dawn Marie, Could you run this by Kelly when you have a minute. It's regarding 11 Prince Road, West Yarmouth. We removed a few trees that were damaged from the tornado that were in the buffer zone. I have pictures of the trees after the storm and I'll take some now from the same vantage point. It's three trees to be exact - 2 oaks and 1 white pine. We left them alone for a few months after the storm. The wind storm we had on October 17th blew down most of the hanging limbs right into the walkway. I deemed the remaining hangers a hazard at this point and took down the remainder of the trees and removed the debris. The issue now lies with the dock. They need some permitting of some sort for the existing dock. When the town or the permitting agent came out to survey the area they saw the stumps from the trees we removed. I'll try and attach the photos I have of the damaged trees. The stumps of the two oaks are intact so I'm sure they will re-sucker like crazy this spring. The white pine will not grow back. This is a much smaller tree than the oaks that were 3 damaged. I'm sure the owners would be willing to replant if Kelly deems necessary - or what ever corrective measures she thinks need to be done. Let me know if you could forward this to her or if she would like me to stop by and discuss it, I'm pretty flexible over the next week or two. Thanks again, Dan 4
