P&S Realty - Planning Board Plan
The Conservation Commission previously reviewed a Dredge & Fill Application (February14, 2002) for this site. We were opposed to the application whose only purpose is to gain an additional building lot. We do not approve this portion of the plan.

Mrs. Howell motioned to reimburse Mr. McLeod $48.50 for the monitoring of the Landry Conservation Easement.

Mrs. Fallon talked about Earth Day and the clean up of Deer Leap and Fosters Pond. The Commission scheduled an Earth Day clean up and walk of the Landry Easement for April 21, 2002. Mrs. Fallon advised the Commission that she spoke to the Windham Police Department regarding the damage caused by ATV's at Fosters Pond. The Police Department would stop an ATV at the Point of Entry but after the vehicle has entered the trail it falls under the jurisdiction of the Fish & Game Department.

Mrs. Fallon advised the Members that Eastern Mountain Sports would join the Conservation Commission for Trails Day on June 1, 2002. Activities tentatively scheduled are compass instruction and a Kayak demonstration.

The Members discussed at length the information they will be providing in the form of a letter to the Department of Transportation prior to the submission of the Selectmen's proposal for I-93 mitigation.
