Call Meeting to Order/Adopt Minutes – The Chairman called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m.  Member Shippey made a motion to adopt the Minutes as corrected, seconded by member Shatz and all voted in favor.

The Nature Conservancy for the Kampoosa Bog, NOI – Jessica Murray representing The Nature Conservancy and Jason Kryznowski of Hill Engineers appeared to discuss the Nature Conservancys proposal to do invasive plant species control (fragmites control in Kampoosa Bog and Buckthorn control within the buffer area of the Bog).  They propose to use herbicides which will improve the wildlife habitat by reducing the cover and density of invasive species within these areas.  They are currently using a 75% herbicide as opposed to the 2% they were using which gets injected into the plants after they are clipped and painted.  They will do the plant species control from August until the first killing frost in November.  The goal is to eliminate the invasive plants in most areas.  A site visit was scheduled for Wednesday, May 18 at 4:00 p.m.  Member Shatz made a motion to close the hearing, seconded by member Shippey and all voted in favor.

Robert and Karin Wiseman, 3 Oak Lane, NOI – Shannon Boomsma of White Engineering, Inc. appeared on behalf of the applicants who propose to construct a foundation under the existing house which is located in the Buffer Zone of a BVW.  The wetlands are around the entire property.  They would like to raise the house and put in a frost wall.  The footings will be two-feet wide, 1 foot high and 4 ½ feet below grade.  A foundation drain pipe and a sump pump will be installed.  The sump pump will go into the drain.  Two pine and ash trees will have to be removed.  No work is proposed to the house.  The basement will be on a slab.  A site visit was scheduled for Friday, April 8 at 9:15 a.m.

Robert Daley/Elisabeth Brown, 4 Cove Lane, NOI – Shannon Boomsma of White Engineering, Inc. appeared on behalf of the applicants who propose to raise the existing house to install a foundation and construct a seasonal dock.  Proposed work is within a bank of land under Waterbodies and Waterways. They wish to jack up the house and pour a frost wall.  The foundation drains will daylight just prior to the bank.  A sump pump will go into the drain.  They plan to do an entire renovation to the house.  A silt fence will be installed around the property during construction.  The seasonal dock will be of treks type.  A Chapter 91 dock permit has been submitted.  A site visit was scheduled for Friday, April 8 at 9:00 a.m.
