RE: Notice of Intent for Pristine Cape Cod Homes Inc. - 23 Pleasant Hill, Lane, Hyannis
Dear Members of the Town of Barnstable Conservation Commission,
We are writing to you concerning the item on your agenda, Notice of Intent to demolish dwelling and shed
at 23 Pleasant Hill Lane. As the town governing body responsible for protecting the town’s natural resources we
respectfully request the Commission not approve this application at this time, as clearing this property could
adversely affect the natural resources and sensitive environment of this neighborhood.
The property has significant mature trees (some believed to be 100 years old) and are critical to help to maintain
and protect surrounding land area and eco systems, including water quality, storm damage and flood control,
which they have stood guardian over for generations.
We respectfully ask this board to reject this application until the Commission can ensure, or make condition of
approval, that the demolition, and site work does not adversely affect protected areas of interest of the
Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act, and the Barnstable Wetlands Protection By-Laws by requiring
protection of existing mature trees. We need to protect the precious natural resources we have, and ensuring the
protection of this area is a strong effort to help do that.
Thank you for your consideration in not approving this request, as is, at this time, and for the work your
commission does to support the efforts in protecting Barnstable’s natural resources and help save this special
area so future generations can enjoy it.
Respectfully,
Brian Hughes and Karen Kim McGuire
