Hi Katherine,
I was able to find the video of the foxes. I am attaching it here so that you can provide it to the
Conservation Committee members to view regarding the proposal for 14 Commerce Road.
Please let me know that you received this.
Thank you,
Mrs. Dugas

Hi Mrs. Dugas,
No worries at all, thank you for submitting your concerns. I spoke with our
Administrator and he is currently working with DPW to address this. We are
hoping to have this resolved/taken care of soon.
Have a nice long weekend,

This is Mrs. Dugas again. There is something else you could help me with. At
Mill Way Beach the weeds are so high pretty soon you won’t see the beach.
For three years I have tried to get D P W to clear it. First they told me they
would in the Fall. Never happened, then they told me they have to go to
conservation, I see a Dep. sign on the railing at the stairs. On the left side
there are benches some put there in honor or in memory of loved ones. You
can’t see the benches from the car there are so many weeds and Poison Ivy.
The platform next to the bathhouse, has weeds under in and on the side. This
Barnstable Village’s only resident beach. Seems as tho it could be kept clean
even if it is a coastal beach. We drove over to Centerville beach, Osterville
beaches, they are clean. Don’t look like Mill Way why is that? Thank you for
listening to me. I hate to be a complainer but is very discussing. Hope we get
some help, thought maybe it would be done before Memorial but that has
come and gone and nothing. Don’t get much satisfaction from DPW.

Dear Town of Barnstable Conservation Committee,
In January 4th 2018 we had a flood on Mill Way, Sunset Lane,
Cobbs Village, Blish Point, Common Fields all on Barnstable Harbor.
Prior to this flooding. When they dredged the Harbor they trucked the
dredging materials off site, durning this process they cracked the
Mill Way Bridge, it had to be replaced. The next time they dredged
the Harbor the materials were trucked out over Commerce Rd
toward 6A. They crushed the culvert on Commerce so the water at
high tide an in storms cannot keep up with high water. The culvert
was to be replace. Durning the flood the house on 14 Commerce Rd.
Was flooded and the little shed floated off what ever it was setting
on. I will include pictures of the flood. Our house at 30 Sunset Lane
was flooded also, lost furnace (two years old) our air conditioner,
electric panel, water heater. And storage in the Cape Cod cellar. We
formed a group and got money from Mr. Cyr, Mr. Walen , Bill Crocker
who were our Reps. At the time now the money can’t be found. There
is a storm drain on Sunset Lane that drains to the marsh that has
been broken for at least 4 years and nothing has been done. Before
the town issues a building permit for 14 Commerce these issues
should be fixed. Last year there was a fox with six Kits born under
that shed that I talked about. I will also be sending pictures of those.
Don’t want you take my word for it, ask neighbors. There are a lot of
issues in this area that the Town of Barnstable need to fix. When we
have flooding in this area we have no place to go. The tide is over the
bridge at Mill Way and over the Road at Commerce going to 6
A. This flooding has to be top priority!! We would like to see the
property left in it’s nature state, for the foxes, birds, rabbits and so
on. Please please fix this area before any permits are issued. Please
stop the zoom meetings, COVID is over.
Sorry I couldn’t find the fox pictures. Mrs. Joseph Dugas 30 Sunset
Lane, Barnstable.
