Re: Notice of Intent application for 23 Pleasant Hill Lane, Hyannis
Dear Members of the Barnstable Conservation Commission,
I am writing regarding the Notice of Intent for 23 Pleasant Hill Lane in Hyannis.
I respectfully request that the Commission require the preservation and protection of the multiple
significant mature trees currently located on the site as part of its review of this application. These trees
contribute directly to protected resource area functions and interests, including storm damage
prevention, flood control, groundwater protection, and water quality.
Absent appropriate conditions, demolition and site-clearing activities may result in the unnecessary
removal of mature trees, increased impervious exposure, and soil disturbance. These impacts would
increase runoff and erosion potential and may adversely affect protected resource areas. Such impacts
cannot be fully mitigated through post-construction planting.
I therefore respectfully request that the Commission condition any approval to ensure that demolition
and associated site work do not adversely affect protected resource areas or the interests of the
Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and the Barnstable Wetlands Protection Bylaw, by requiring
preservation and protection of existing significant trees to the maximum extent feasible.
Thank you for your careful consideration and for your continued work protecting Barnstable’s natural
resources while supporting responsible development.
Sincerely, Lori and James Day
Wellfleet MA
