Hi Paul,
We can continue to 6/4, though the bare areas at the bottom of the bank were the
primary concern that we were waiting to address if any regrowth occurred once the
growing season began. It has not, so it must be addressed as soon as possible.
Please see the photos attached from yesterday’s site visit and provide a strategy for
revegetating this area for permanent banks stabilization for review at the next
meeting.

Hi Brittany,
Attached here is the revised invasive species management plan and updated Site
Plan. Bare areas resulting from the invasive species management along the top of
the coastal bank will be planted with Carolina rose to match the existing native buffer
strip along the top of the bank. Access to the areas proposed with invasive species
management will be from the existing lawn as the invasives are growing at the top of
the bank adjacent to the lawn. We will get you info and certification for the person
who will conduct the invasive species management prior to starting the invasive work
towards the end of the growing season.
BSC does not have any other projects on the agenda for Thursday 5/21. Kieran is
out of the country and I am off Thursday. I am off this Thursday and I live in
Dartmouth so it would be a lot for me to come to Yarmouth Thursday evening so the
commission can review the edits that (1) we plant Carolina rose in the bare areas
resulting from invasive species management and that (2) access can be gained from
the lawn. The commission specifically asked for these revisions, and they are pretty
minor in scope, so i would figure they will be approved.
Could we please continue this until the following hearing on June 4th? BSC we will be
at that hearing for the 703 Route 28 NOI. That way BSC can attend for this proposed
invasive species management work at 2 Channel Point and the 703 Main St. NOI. Let
me know if this is ok, thank you!

Hi,
The commission was expecting to review a revised invasive species management
plan including additional plantings to the bank and some access details. When can
we expect this? The hearing is scheduled for Thursday to review this material and
plant additional material at the bottom of the bank as soon as possible, where no
invasive species are present.
Thanks,

Thanks Brittany. Yes, after hearing the Commission’s thoughts at the hearing I felt this may
be a better approach. Glad you agree. We can work on those edits and get them to you.
We will reach out to the landscaper to get the Lic. and let you know dates once we get
closer.
We would like to formally request to continue to the September 17th hearing.
Best,
Matt

Hi Paul and Matt,
I got your voicemail requesting to continue to September, I think this is a good approach to
get another season of treatment and perhaps plantings in to improve the bank stability.
Please provide the requested revisions to the ISM plan, let us know who will be performing
the work, and submit their pesticide applicators licenses for our files. Do you wish to aim for
a hearing date of September 3 or 17?
Thanks,

Hello Brittany & Joe,
Attached here is an invasive species management plan for 2 Channel Point Drive to
address the Phragmites, knotweed, and oriental bittersweet vine growing along the
top of the coastal bank. BSC will be attending the Yarmouth Conservation Hearing on
next Thursday April 2nd, to discuss the invasive species management plan. I will be
dropping off two hard copies of the attached invasive species management plan at
your office.
In the email correspondence below i had requested that the hearing for the RCOC for
bank stabilization be continued to the May 7th so the bank could be assessed when
we are more into the growing season. BSC is preparing for that hearing as well and
will be in attendance on May 7th.

Hi Matt,
The minutes indicate the continuance was also for submittal of a management plan. April 2
would still work to assess both a management plan and perhaps some early season
growth.

Hi Brittany,
I know we continued this to get to a point where we has some growth in the vegetation.
Obviously, we’re not going to see much right now with the snow. Why don’t we continue
this to the first hearing in April (I believe it would be April 2, 2026). We can see how things
look at that point.
Best,
Matt

Hi Paul,
Received, I agree that the bank would be better assessed during the growing season.
Attendance tonight may be helpful in case the Commission decides other action may be
needed. For example, I reviewed the relevant file history today (quick summary attached)
and it seems that an ongoing invasive species management plan was required as part of
the COC for 083-2029. This hasn’t been received, so they may wish to include that as an
item to review at the next hearing along with those you outlined which will be helpful.

Hi Brittany,
Matt just had a call with Jake Simmons of 2 Channel Point Drive about the RCOC
application.
We would like to request to continue that RCOC application until the Yarmouth
Conservation Commission hearing on May 7th, 2026. We are hoping that by early
spring the marsh grasses and veg on the bank will be green, growing, and looking in
better shape than it currently does now in the middle of winter.
BSC did complete a site visit earlier in 2025 as an RCOC inspection. I will draft a
2025 monitoring report for the coastal bank stabilization at 2 Channel Point Drive
based on that inspection so that you have an annual monitoring report. I will get that
report to you soon
Can you please confirm that this RCOC application is being continued until May 7th,
2026? By that time we expect to have more details from the landscaper of what
species and the number of plugs that were planted on the bank in 2024 and a spec
sheet for the silt sox; which we have been assured is biodegradable.
Best,
Paul Mancuso
