CEASE & DESIST – Unauthorized Activity on Town-owned Property
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Dewey,
As you may be aware, the Town of Yarmouth owns a certain property referred to as Lewis Pond Marsh
Conservation Area which abuts your property at 37 Pawnee Road, Yarmouth. Following a recent inspection of
the property it was brought to our attention that the rear yard area at this address is encroaching on the town-
owned property. An aerial image approximating the property boundaries is attached for your information.
Please be advised that the storage of landscape materials, mowing, and other landscaping activities constitute an
illegal trespass. The Conservation Commission works to protect vegetated areas bordering coastal water bodies
as they provide valuable storm damage protection and flood control and protect wildlife habitat.
The Town hereby reserves the rights to take enforcement action against you for these violations. In the
meantime, we hereby demand that you cease and desist from all further activity on Town property unless you
have received written authorization to do so.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Kelly Grant
Conservation Administrator
Town of Yarmouth
