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.
