Thanks Lisa, So we will need to schedule this for the Conservation Commission’s next meeting which will
th
be April 16. In the meantime I will do a site visit and make a recommendation on how to proceed. You
will probably need to file an after-the-fact permit request for the work. For your information – the area
with 35 feet of a wetland is a “no-disturb zone” Natural vegetation should be left undisturbed is this
area. You will likely need to allow this area to revegetate naturally.
Here is a link to our web page with further information for you. http://yarmouth.ma.us/1222/Wetland-

Given the COVID-19 emergency I am not able to meet you in person but if it OK with you I can visit the
site independently and get back to you with my recommendation by email.
I appreciate your swift attention to this. I am confident that we will find a resolution that will allow you
to enjoy your new home!

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Yes, I cleared out a lot of briars, leaves, downed
trees and a ton of trash. This is my first home and as a new home owner I feel fortunate and
excited to clean up and better my yard. I was truly unaware I was doing anything wrong and
apologize. Please let me know what I need to do next. I would like to continue removing the
years of garbage buried on this lot.
Thank you for your time
Stay safe

Hi Lisa
Thank you for contacting me. You received the violation notice due to the
clearing that was done on your property that is within the jurisdiction of the
Wetlands Protection regulations. Can you confirm that you or your agent recently
carried out clearing of vegetation at 31 Nauset Road in Yarmouth?

Good morning, I have received a letter asking me to contact you. Im not
understanding exactly why. I have made several attempts by phone with no
success. Although I fully understand it’s due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and
don’t expect a response right away I Wanted you to be aware that I have tried as
the letter says to do so by Friday April 3. I hope all is well. Thank you and stay
safe, Lisa whiting
