Subject:RE: Question about yard/tree work
Hi Mary Ellen
The work appears to be fairly close to the wetland. I would suggest you file a Request for Determination of Applicability.
You will need a sketch plan showing the extent of the work. Your landscaper may be able to assist you with the
application. The filing forms are here. http://www.yarmouth.ma.us/696/Filing-Forms
The filing deadlines and fees can also be found (to the left) on that page.
Thanks

Good Morning,
I live at 17A Valley Rd. W. Yarmouth in a home I inherited from an elderly relative. In addition to being a hoarder, other
than lawn mowing virtually no yard work had been done in 40 years. I had so much work to do in the house that I am
just now getting around to fixing up the yard. I did have to do some work last summer as this neighborhood was hit
quite hard in last year’s tornado. I did lose a couple of trees and others were damaged including a couple that were
leaning up against other trees.
Many of the trees are overgrown with huge vines of bittersweet and tremendous amounts of poison ivy. I have
enclosed pictures of the areas I would like to clean out.
The area behind the fence is full of briars.
I just had landscaper give me an estimate on work I need to do and he advised me to proceed thru your commission.

I Know many town departments are closed now due to Covid. Is this something you could approve/not approve based
on pictures or does someone need to come look at it?
Please advise on how I should proceed with this.
Thanks
Mary Ellen Pierce
