See below. 1. Quantities and size of the plants to be installed 2. The applicant proposes to maintain the buckthorn hedge within the buffer. Buckthorn is an invasive species that is considered undesirable and is specifically listed as a species to be removed if within the buffer. There is only a small portion of the hedge within the required 16.5 foot buffer and it is recommended to replace this portion of the hedge with other species so it is in compliance with the ordinance. 3. A schedule of activities that are part of the management and maintenance(mowing invasive weeds, spot herbicide treatment of invasive, etc. )for the establishment of vegetation in the buffer shall be provided.

They are requesting a building permit now and I don't remember if you still required additional information be submitted. I am going to require that the Wetland buffer covenants document be executed prior to the issuance of a CO3 and ask that they have a $3000 wetland buffer escrow as part of this at that time, however I need to know if you are waiting on information from them to approve their plans. I've attached your memo to the email to jog your memory. Melanie Melanie Curtis Planning &Zoning Coordinator 1
