The commission asked Ms. Mullins when the Conservation Area parking lots would be plowed. Ms. Mullins says that she has been in contact with the DPW to get this addressed. Mr. Bitsko asked for more details regarding a report he read in the newspaper about trees being cut down on Conservation Land. Ms. Mullins explained that this cutting was done on school property, but they are aware of the problem as well as the police. Mrs. Dohan reported that the GCC has been working with the developers of the Grove Street project about trail access. 8:56pm Discussion of support for Annual Town Meeting Warrant Articles Mr. Hamilton reported that there are three articles that may be of interest to the Conservation Commission: some changes to the tree by-law, addition of new scenic roads, and provisions to blasting permits. After some discussion, the Commission decided that just the tree article is within their purview and they support the article. 9:23pm Steep Slope Regulations The commission discussed some of the edits that have been made to the proposed regulation. They decided that they want to tighten up with description, change the example calculations, and change the way one would measure the distance between contour lines. The commission decided that they need to look into past scenarios where this regulation would have been implemented and examine how it would have been used. Mr. Bitsko decided to explore some examples. The commission discussed what the goals of this regulation would be and when it should be implemented. 9:43pm Motion to adjourn made by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Mr. Beuttell. Vote: 5-0 in favor.
