4 from addresses the issue, or not until the neighbor removes it. Mr. Michael Reamer stated that the bylaw does not require the person who plants the bamboo to contain it unless it reaches 4 feet from the lot line. The bylaw also does not require the town to penalize the homeowner,just that they may, and that it assumes people will act in good faith. Mr. Reamer feels that it would be helpful for the Conservation Commission to make a statement that the spread of running bamboo is a problem. Existing bamboo will be grandfathered in and there would be no constraint on its trespassing and no enforcement penalty. Ms. Mullins asked how the bylaw would address the existing 10 properties and whether or not the town would be responsible for the removal. Mr. Reamer responded saying that it would be the responsibility of the property owner to remove it, never the town. If it trespasses again, then the owner of the property where it came from would be subject to the enforcement. On a motion by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Ms. Ladd, the Commission voted 6-0 by roll call to support a statement that the Commission recognizes that running bamboo is a problem where it exists and does not oppose measures to control it, but favors prohibiting it instead. In the interest of time for the attendees, the remaining New Business/Pending Matters will be discussed towards the end of the meeting. 7:17 PM (44:20 for recorded meeting provided by LexMedia) 7:00 PM New Public Meetings/Hearings ViewPoint Cloud 4AOOC-20-8, DEP 201-1066, BL 1023 Amendment to the Order of Conditions, 1010 Waltham Street Applicant: Brookhaven at Lexington Inc.
