The architect in his narrative for the preschool can identify his intent to use the phased approach, his reason for doing so (cause) and offer a timeframe for completion (best in the form of a not-to-exceed date). My only request is that the architect provide an opinion about the safety of the occupants during the phased approach which shouldn't be difficult considering that the building is predominately office space.

Jill Neubauer Architects' Norman Courchesne, conducting the code analysis indicated that,given the complexity and data gathering required, he is unable to complete an analysis for the entire building by Tuesday, but he does feel he can complete a code analysis for the preschool itself—the program room and connecting bathroom. This is the only space the children will be occupying,the balance is non-preschool office space. Michelle and Brian, I am wondering if this analysis will suffice for the purpose of an inspection next week and the opening the preschool on the 15th, and in doing so, buy ourselves some time to understand some nuances of the code request, and complete the analysis for a certificate of inspection for the remainder of the building the following days. f As Mr. Florence indicate miscommunicationsn ff d, and the effects of the pandemic have contributed to a slowing of dissemination of information and the normal expediting of this certificate of inspection request. This certificate of Inspection process was initiated in June! We are all working together to resolve this last EEC licensing piece in hopes we can open our preschool doors as planned September 15th, and I greatly appreciate everyone's immediate efforts and flexibility. I'm happy to initiate a conference call Tuesday with Michelle,our architect Norman at JNA and Brian Florence to get on the same page in this effort. Please advise.

The following is a summary of that call and a discussion of the ongoing process that is taking place in order to help them with the EEC application: As you are probably aware, the Audubon wishes to conduct classes for children at their facility in Barnstable and are in the process of completing an application with the EEC in order to obtain an approval to hold those classes. Today by teleconference we discussed an application requirement wherein the Audubon is asked to provide a copy of a Certificate of Inspection. This is a building code document and represents certification by us that an annual periodic inspection has been completed. Based upon discussions with Mr. Ives I am not certain that a certificate of inspection is required under 780 CMR (MA State Building Code) and so I have asked that the Audubon engage the services of a MA Registered Design Professional to complete a building code analysis in accordance with 780 CMR and the 2015 International Existing Building Code (IEBC). Please reference IEBC Chapter 1 section 104.2.2.1 Building Investigation and Evaluation. The Audubon has engaged the services of Mr. Norman Courchesne as their architect to complete the building code analysis. Once his work is completed we will know if the proposal requires periodic inspections and an annual certificate of inspection. If so, we will require a building permit for a partial change of use of the facility and that will begin the annual inspection process. If the analysis demonstrates that the use is not subject to a periodic inspections we will provide you with a letter to that effect. Due to some miscommunications and the effects of the nationwide pandemic on all of our work there has been some delays in getting this matter over the goal line. However, it should be noted that the Audubon has always been cooperative with our office and regulatory requirements. We look forward to working with them on this project and wish them all the best. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. 4 Regards,.

In your request for enforcement you made multiple allegations and eight (8)specific requests. I have completed a careful review of the facts and will answer the eight requests in the order in which they were received. Request 1: Prohibit the Audubon Sanctuary from obstructing traffic on Bone Hill Road. Response: Request for enforcement is DENIED. The building official/zoning enforcement officer cannot make determinations of, or enforce matters concerning motor vehicles,roadways or pedestrians in roadways. Matters concerning motor vehicles and pedestrians on roadways should be reported to the Barnstable Police Department as they are occurring. As your request for enforcement is not a matter concerning the zoning ordinance or building codes you may wish to seek legal advice for an appropriate remedy or appellate procedure as your request is beyond my scope of authority and is not a matter for the zoning board of appeals. Request 2: Prohibit the Audubon Sanctuary from operating a beach parking lot. Response: Request for enforcement is DENIED. After a careful review of your allegations, a meeting with Audubon staff and their attorney, and having received a response from their attorney I have found that the Audubon is not operating a commercial parking lot. I have also found that the . operators are charging an admission fee for entrance onto their property;that fee is charged whether or not a motor vehicle is involved and no additional charge is being assessed for a vehicle. As such I have determined that no violation exists. If aggrieved by this determination you may file an appeal with the Town Clerk of Barnstable, and Planning and Development Department specifying the ground thereof within thirty(30)days of the receipt of this notice in accordance with Chapter 40A Section 15 of the Massachusetts General Laws. Request 3: Prohibit the Audubon Sanctuary om posting any new signs on Bone Hill Road without written approval from the Town of Barnstable. Ensure that all sig_nage is reviewed and approved by the Old Kings Highway Historic District Commission prior to being displayed. Response: Request for enforcement is GRANTED. Signage requires review by both Old Kings Highway Regional Historic District Committee and the building division where a permit is required. We will take the appropriate action in order to obtain compliance. Request 4: The Town of Barnstable should not exempt the Audubon Sanctuaa from any regulations that are applicable to operation of a beach parking lot, operation offaa public beach, or beach-related siogge because these activities are not privileged under the Massachusetts Audubon Society's status as a non-profit educational corporation. Response: There appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding of the zoning exemption in this request. The Town of Barnstable does not grant exemptions.... The exemption that you reference was granted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts legislature and Barnstable has no authority to grant or deny it,only to ensure that the claim of an exemption is accurate. If it is then Barnstable has a limited ability to impose reasonable bulk regulations(setbacks and height). • With respect to the allegations of a beach parking lot,your request is DENIED for the reasons stated above in my response to Request 2. • With respect to allegations of the operation of a public beach, your request is DENIED. Rationale: The beach is accessed by people who have paid a fee to access the sanctuary. They are free to walk the woods, go into the buildings or go to the beach. Zoning imposes no restrictions on where persons are allowed to go on the property. If aggrieved by this determination you may file an appeal with the Town Clerk of Barnstable, and Planning and Development Department specifying the ground thereof within thirty(30)days of the receipt of this notice in accordance with Chapter 40A Section 15 of the Massachusetts General Laws. • Regarding the beach-related signage,your request for enforcement is GRANTED for the reasons stated above in Request 3. Request 5: Close the gravel parking lot at the east end of the Audubon Sanctuary driveway because it was constructed without a permit and its aeration violates Town of Barnstable regulations. Response: There appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding of the enforcement process in Barnstable. Code enforcement is not about taking punitive measures, it is about obtaining compliance. Our practice is to always seek voluntary compliance even in light of a violation. Your request for enforcement is GRANTED. We will require that the Audubon submit for a Site Plan Review to demonstrate that the parking area will comply with the various regulations required of them in order to have a parking lot in that location. If the applicant refuses or cannot for practical reasons make the lot comply with the Town's ordinances it will be compelled to remove it. However, for the sake of transparency short of a few modifications I see no reason why the lot could not remain with proper permitting. Request 6:Require the Audubon Sanctuary to develop a comprehensive plan for parking as part of its Discovery Center construction protect. This parking plan must show the location of desi ng ated parking spots, how many parking spots will exist, and the locations of driveways and walkways. The parking plan must include appropriate consideration of runoff and drainage, safety of children, and ADA accessibility, among other things. The parking plan must comUly with all applicable Town of Barnstable regulations. Response: There appears to be a fundamental misunderstanding with respect to the format of an enforcement request. Persons making a request for enforcement may request enforcement, but with few exceptions may not request a specific remedy. That authority is granted to the authority having jurisdiction. With that said,your request for enforcement is GRANTED. We will require that the Audubon submit for a Site Plan Review to demonstrate that the parking area will comply with the various regulations required of them in order to have a parking lot in that location. Request 7: Insofar as the Audubon Sanctuary has been operating a beach parking lot without a permit for at least two years, and that parking lot is within approximately 100 feet of abutters'drinking water wells, the Audubon Sanctuary must provide evidence that their beach parking activities have not and will not adversely affect ground water that is reasonably likely to reach abutters drinking water wells. Response: There appears to be a misunderstanding with respect to format of an enforcement request. Persons making a request for enforcement may request enforcement, but with few exceptions may not request specific remedy. The authority to impose a specific remedy is granted to the authority having jurisdiction. Request for enforcement is DENIED. The Town's zoning ordinance requires parking for all uses within its corporate limits under Article VI- Off Street Parking Regulations. Adherence to those regulations does not require property owners to provide ground water analysis.No other property owner(including yourselves) is required to adhere to such a requirement and I have no authority to compel the Audubon Sanctuary to do so. As your request for enforcement is not a matter concerning the zoning ordinance or building codes you may wish to seek legal advice for the appropriate remedy or appellate procedure as your request is beyond my scope of authority. Request 8: Insofar as the major function of parking areas at the Audubon Sanctuary is to serve the educational programs at the proposed Discovery Center and the existing buildings and insofar as the Audubon Sanctuary has agreed to move the parkin to o the west end of their driveway the Town of Barnstable will require the Audubon Sanctuary to locate their parking area at the west end of their driveway, close to the proposed Discovery Center and existingbings. The location of all existing and proposed parking areas and walkways will be shown on the site plan for the Discovery Center construction project which will be made available to abutters for review and comment prior to construction. Response: As stated above,there appears to be a misunderstanding with respect to format of an enforcement request as well as the Site Plan Review process. Persons making a request for enforcement may request enforcement,but with few exceptions may not request a specific remedy. The authority to impose a specific remedy is granted to the authority having jurisdiction. Please be advised that Site Plan Review is not a public process; there are no provisions for public comment prescribed in the ordinance and abutters do not have a role in the approval process. Approvals and denials are based solely upon the merits of a project and how it comports with the technical requirements of various regulations,not abutter preferences. Therefore,while our files are public records which we are happy to share with you,we would not do so for comment nor would we vary a Site Plan Approval to accommodate abutter's preferences. If it is your desire to affect the design of a proposal you would need to speak with your neighbors at the Audubon Sanctuary,try to come to some consensus or compromise and ask them to submit the consensus document as their proposal. With that said,Request 8 does not meet the standard of a request for enforcement but is more a directive to the Town. To the extent that it can be considered a request for enforcement it is hereby DENIED. Further, because Request 8 is not a proper request for zoning enforcement you may wish to seek legal advice for the appropriate remedy or appellate procedures. Finally, while it has taken some time to arrive at these conclusions I trust that you will see from this response that I have not been idle. Enclosed you will find a copy of a letter from Attorney Jonathan Witten who represents the Audubon. The letter is in response to my request that they address the- details of your allegations. To be clear,the actions to be undertaken where we GRANTED your request for enforcement are: 1. We will require a Site Plan Review hearing regarding parking and; 2. That an application be filed with Old Kings Highway Regional Historic District Commission for the signs depicted in your submittal should the Audubon choose to keep them. I hope that this information has been helpful. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Building Commissioner Town of Barnstable FEB 18 2020 200 Main Street Barnstable, MA TOWN OF BABNSTABLE. RE: Mass Audubon, Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary Dear Commissioner Florence: I write to you on behalf of Mass Audubon("Audubon") in regard to the above entitled matter and once again thank you for meeting with Mary, Ian, Stu and me last Thursday in your Barnstable office. Please find below Audubon's response to the September 2, 2019 letter from David and Janet Garabrant ("the Garabrant letter"), the subject of much.of our discussion on Thursday. Following our response to the Garabrant letter, please see our remarks and proposal regarding the issue of invasive species removal that took place on Audubon's property, also discussed last Thursday. I. Audubon's Response to the September 2, 2019 Garabrant Letter As immediate neighbors to Audubon's Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary off Bone Hill Road, we were disappointed to read the allegations contained in the Garabrant letter. Soon after being made aware of the Garabrant letter, on October 12, 2019, Mary and Ian met with the Garabrants and other neighbors to discuss the claims made in the Garabrant letter, to respond to false allegations made in the letter and to make clear Audubon's willingness to listen to and address legitimate concerns raised in both the letter and.the subsequent meeting with the neighbors. As more fully discussed below, each of Audubon's promises to work with the neighbors have been put into practice and will continue to be honored. And, as further discussed below, in no instance do any of the allegations made arise to a zoning violation or other actionable event. A. "Interference with use of a public way and Town Way to Water" The Garabrant letter accuses Audubon and the activities lawfully taking place at the Sanctuary of interfering with the enjoyment of their property, alleges complaints made by others and suggests that the activities occurring at the Sanctuary violate their rights of"privacy" and their "rights as homeowners. At no time in the past—ever—has Audubon as an organization or its individual employees violated the Garabrant's privacy or any other right. Having said that, we understand that the Garabrant's are upset about the vehicular and pedestrian traffic that occurs on KP Law,P.C. Boston • Hyannis Lenox • Northampton • Worcester K F LAW Brian Florence Building Commissioner February 13, 2020 Page 2 Bone Hill Road as visitors seek to access the Sanctuary. As discussed with the Garabrant's and others last October, Audubon committed to taking several measures to ameliorate back-ups on Bone Hill Road as motor vehicles enter the site. As discussed below, each promised measure will continually be met. 1. Reduce Congestion at the End of Bone Hill Road To reduce congestion at the end of Bone Hill Road and provide safe parking for guests, Audubon requires that all parking for the Sanctuary (including the Sanctuary Beach) be at the Visitor Center parking area. To ensure compliance, Audubon trains employees and volunteers to direct motorists to the designated parking area, employs a parking directional sign, and with the support of the Town has posted "No Parking" signs at the end of Bone Hill Road. More specifically, the use of the beach parking sign at the driveway is exclusively to direct vehicles visiting the Sanctuary Beach to park in the designated Sanctuary parking area, not the beach. With this approach, Audubon has been able to reduce vehicle congestion in front of the Garabrant's and other homes, reduce turnarounds in their respective driveways, allow for access of emergency vehicles and avoid backups from occurring along Bone Hill Road. Audubon has and will continue to manage conflicts as between pedestrians and motorists along key portions of Bone Hill Road. However, Bone Hill Road is a public way and as such, Audubon's ability to regulate, patrol or enforce parking restrictions is, obviously, limited. Clearly, Audubon cannot and will not attempt to prevent those using Bone Hill Road or the Bone Hill Road Town Way to Water from parking in designated spots along the Road, nor will Audubon attempt to interfere with pedestrians walking the road to the beach along the Town Way to Water. While Audubon will continue to work with the Town and public safety officials to ensure the safety of motorists and pedestrians using Bone Hill Road, enforcement of Town regulations is within the Town's jurisdiction. As discussed with the Garabrants and other neighbors however, and to ensure compliance with the commitments being made above,-from hereon, Audubon will rephrase and relocate the beach parking sign to ensure that vehicles use the designated Sanctuary parking area and not the beach itself for motor vehicle parking while visiting the Sanctuary. Removing the temporary easel parking sign from the end of the Long Pasture driveway may increase traffic along the end of Bone Hill Road and result in the resumption of congestion at the end of Bone Hill Road during peak summer season. In order to combat this resumption of congestion, Audubon would need Town assistance in enforcing parking rules. 2. Greeting of Visitors at the Entrance to the Sanctuary Driveway The Garabrants have raised additional concerns relating to the greeting of visitors at the entrance of Sanctuary driveway. This practice—greeting visitors at the entranceway-is done intentionally in order to direct Sanctuary Beach visitors to park in the Visitor Center parking area. Audubon staff are present during peak visitor times at the end of the driveway or, as observed in the I KF LAW Brian Florence Building Commissioner February 13, 2020 ' Page 3 past, many visitors will pass by the sign and drive directly to the beach, causing the very congestion that all parties wish to avoid. It will be virtually impossible to enforce parking in the Sanctuary parking area and prevent visitors from turning in private driveways and/or thereafter park at the end of Bone Hill Road if the temporary easel parking sign is removed from the end of the driveway and if Audubon staff are not able to stand at the end of the driveway to provide appropriate guidance to visitors. While we understand the Garabrant's frustration with occasional vehicular and pedestrian. traffic along Bone Hill Road, the road is a public way and open to the public for all purposes excepting those regulated by the Town. Audubon will always be willing to cooperate with their neighbors and the Town in alleviating concerns within the neighborhood, but it has no authority in regulating or patrolling Bone Hill Road. 3. Parking Within the Sanctuary Parking Areas Parking for visitors to the Sanctuary includes well-marked formal parking areas at the west end of the driveway closest to the Visitor Center as well as grass parking areas along the driveway. The grass areas are utilized in summer months when additional parking for guests is required. The bus parking lot is a small dedicated area used solely for busses, and is not otherwise available for Sanctuary visitors' use. To ensure that the school bus parking lot is reserved solely for use by school busses, Audubon will cordon off the bus parking area with ropes or other physical devices to ensure that the area is used only for school busses affiliated with school programming on the Sanctuary. B. "Operation of an Open Air Private Parkin Loot" The Garabrant's accuse Audubon of operating "an open air private parking lot" and cite to Chapter 406A of the Barnstable Code for support. Audubon is not operating an "open air parking lot". As.was explained to the neighbors in October, Audubon charges, at present, a $4.00 (four dollar) entrance fee to visit the Sanctuary. There is no additional charge for parking at the beach, as is the allegation. Put otherwise, a pedestrian that visits the Sanctuary pays $4.00. A motorist that wishes to visit and park their vehicle on Sanctuary property pays $4.00. Section 406A of the Code is clearly intended to regulate commercial parking lots. Audubon does not operate a commercial park lot. Rather, as the Garabrant's must surely know, parking at the Sanctuary is without charge. The only charges—to pedestrians and.those arriving by vehicle alike—is an admission fee per person. C. Operation of a Public BathingBeach each As with their wrong accusation that Audubon is operating a commercial parking lot, the Garabrant letter accuses Audubon of violating state law in regard to the "operation of a public bathing beach". The Sanctuary property includes approximately 2,000 feet of beach frontage that stretches on either side of Bone Hill Road. The beach is an integral component of the Sanctuary and M r_ K P LAW Brian Florence Building Commissioner February 13, 2020 Page 4 is a private beach open only to members and those paying admission to the Sanctuary. As discussed above, admission to the Sanctuary (which includes the beach) is $4.00. (Membership with Mass Audubon provides free admission to the site, including the beach). The Garabrant letter cites to various sections within 105 CMR 445 for support of their claims that Audubon's operation of the beach is in violation of the State Sanitary Code. Audubon denies all such accusations and is unaware of any allegation ever made of the same to the Barnstable Board of Health pursuant to the Board's authority as found in 105 CMR 445 et seq. D. "Intensification of Use of Beach and Bone Hill Road" The Garabrant letters raises several issues related to pedestrian and vehicular traffic on Bone Hill Road including related to the intersection of Bone Hill Road and Route 6A, as well as accusations that many of the activities alleged to have occurred in the past are inconsistent with Audubon's core mission. With regard to the use of Bone Hill Road, Audubon certainly concurs that Bone Hill Road is a narrow and historic way. But it is also a public way and a Town Way to Water as previously stated and Audubon has no legal right to impose limitations on vehicular or pedestrian traffic on the Road or otherwise impede the public's right to use the Road for any lawful purpose. With regard to allegations that some beach goers have violated the clear and unequivocal rules applicable to use of the beach, Audubon is as offended as anyone—such violations strike at the heart of the Sanctuary's purpose—and they will not be tolerated. This is worth repeating; Audubon's long established policies for this Sanctuary and its many others, prohibit the use of alcohol during general Sanctuary hours of operation, among other banned activities. Mass Audubon allows limited use of alcohol during special events, but only when proper Town approvals, certificates of insurance and appropriate monitoring for safety are in place. That such violations occurred is regrettable and Audubon will take additional steps to ensure their enforcement. But such violations are, quite clearly, the exception and will never become acceptable or tolerable behavior in the future. l The Garabrant letter makes vague reference to"weddings" as an example of"large events"taking place within the Sanctuary. Mass Audubon conducts a very limited number(generally up to four(4)nature-themed, outdoor wedding ceremonies at the Sanctuary per year. Audubon does not permit wedding receptions to take place at Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary. The limited nature-themed wedding ceremonies support Mass Audubon's mission of connecting people to nature as couples take their vows in the beautiful outdoor Sanctuary. F LAW Brian Florence Building Commissioner February 13, 2020 Page 5 U. Selective Clearing at the East End of the Sanctuary When we met last week, we discussed Audubon's reasoning for certain selective clearings within the Sanctuary property. As Ian explained, limited clearing was required for ecological management and aesthetic reasons in 2014, not in order to expand parking or otherwise expand the site use or activities within the property. Invasive plant species pose a significant threat to habitats on the Sanctuary as they spread readily and are difficult to control. Invasive species create monocultures which reduce biodiversity. Large areas of the Sanctuary have undergone invasive species removal in the past, and this portion of site was one of them. The invasive species at the east end of the driveway were also removed in order to free up valuable native Oak and Tupelo trees, expand Audubon's orchard habitat that exists in and around the entrance to Long Pasture, provide room for grazing animals that reside at the Sanctuary in this portion of the site during the winter months, and provide areas for visitors to picnic and to orchestrate and run educational programs. The area was also cleared to present a more visually appealing and formal entranceway to the Sanctuary that is in keeping with the legacy of the immediate grounds around Sherman Parker's home. We do not believe that the actions taken by Audubon in the past, or if the same are completed in the future,that is, the removal of invasive species or other property management, trigger the need for Site Plan Review pursuant to Article IX of the Zoning Bylaw. However, as we discussed on Thursday and as more fully discussed below, Audubon agrees to submit a site plan pursuant to Section 240-105 of the Zoning Bylaw so as to provide your Office with an opportunity to review the area cleared for the "bus parking" location. In so doing, Audubon remains of the opinion that routine management and maintenance of the Sanctuary, including selective tree cutting and removal, does not, by themselves, trigger the requirements of Article IX. Finally, as a courtesy to the immediate neighbors, Audubon commits to planting appropriate vegetation parallel to the wall running along Bone Hill Road so as to create an attractive visual buffer between private properties and the area referenced above. III. The Bus Parking Area During an annual safety inspection of the Sanctuary in 2017 by Barnstable Fire Chief Frank Pulsifer, Chief Pulsifer recommended that Audubon create an easily accessible bus parking space at the base of the driveway in order to reduce the risk of bus/pedestrian accidents within the Sanctuary. This parking space was also requested by Barnstable Public School bus drivers in order to reduce the amount of maneuvering required for bus drivers on the property. This parking area accommodates up to three school busses and is made of a permeable surface. School busses of any size can easily navigate the parking area. As discussed above, our position is that use of the bus parking area, as recommended by the Town's Fire and School Departments, does not trigger the requirements of Article IX of the Zoning K P LAW Brian Florence Building Commissioner February 13, 2020 Page 6 Bylaw as the parking area is pervious, without structures, ancillary to a permitted use of the Sanctuary and exists as a simple open field and crushed stone. Having stated that, and re-stating our position that the clearing discussed above—which occurred in 2014—cannot be reasonably construed as intentionally anticipatory to the use of the cleared area for bus parking, Audubon is willing to submit a new site plan review application to your Office for your review pursuant to Article IX of the Zoning Bylaw. We are optimistic that following your review of this submitted site plan pursuant to Article IX, you will conclude, as we have, that there are no zoning or building code violations on the property and permit Audubon to continue its-educational mission and educational purpose on and within this unique and exquisite land.

As you know from previous email correspondence to which you have been copied, I am very much aware of this matter. I understand clearly the significance of the neighbors concerns. Perhaps it would be beneficial for the neighborhood to understand how the code enforcement process works, what works best and what does not. Your municipal building division receives over 11,000 building permit applications, completes over 45,000 inspections and receives roughly 3,000 code, sign and zoning complaints each year. We have 4.5 people (FTE's) to process that work. I personally respond to over 100 emails per week..... most of that is associated with complaints such as this. When a complaint comes in we enter it as a Request for Service into our code compliance system and assign it as a new case to an inspector. The inspector begins an investigation (which often results in several site visits) and updates the case file accordingly. Once the investigation is completed, code and legal research is conducted in order to make a determination as to whether or not a violation exists. If a violation exists a notice is sent and we pursue the matter until it resolves. Sometimes the cases resolve voluntarily and sometimes they require more forceful approach up to and including a court action. Either way, code compliance matters are not resolved quickly. In our culture there is a notion that, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". When it comes to enforcement matters that notion assumes either that, nothing is being done or that if enough people complain then the matter will supersede all others and it will rise to the forefront. It would be helpful for you and the neighborhood to know that when it comes to code compliance issues that notion is false. Because of statutory deadlines we have to take our complaints in the order in which they are received or risk missing our deadlines or angering citizens. The best cases take a couple of weeks, but if there is push back the time is extended. If a case goes to court it could take months or even years to resolve a case and no amount of emails or telephone calls will make it go quicker. What actually happens with multiple petitions (complaints) is that additional work is added to an already complicated affair. That additional work bogs your inspectors down with having to respond to multiple citizens, like this, all of whom deserve the courtesy and respect of a comprehensive answer. But if your inspectors are busy answering multiple petitions we are not busy doing the actual work that needs to be done. Clearly that is not a successful model for the timely response that the neighborhood seeks and deserves. The thing that works best for zoning concerns is to seek proper from a land use attorney and work through them as a neighborhood spokesperson. Mr. Garabrant has been very articulate and meticulous in his effort(if not a little too meticulous - I believe 115 pages in his latest email) to bring this matter to our attention. I have had extended email and telephone conversations with him some of which was to discuss what is and what is not enforceable. During those discussions I recommended he too consider an attorney and updated him as to the status of his complaint. I assume that he has informed everyone in his email distribution list of our discussions. To date: we have completed our field investigation for Long Pasture and have sorted out the violations from the non- violations listed in Mr. Garabrant's original complaint. We_will now enter your complaint into our system compare it with our initial work. We will notify the property owners of any issues that need to be addressed. I will advise them, Mr. Garabrant(and now you) of any rights to appeal. As not all of the issues outlined in your complaint are actual violations I would recommend that you too (or in cooperation with Mr. Garabrant) consult with a land use attorney to ensure that your concerns are valid and capable of being addressed through this process. 1 I hope that this information has been helpful. If you have further questions please feel free to call as email is becoming cumbersome particularly now that we are dealing with two separate Audubon properties.

Our family has owed the property since the 1930s, knew Mr Sherman Parker first hand, and knew how much he appreciated the quiet and scenic nature of the property. During the early years of its existence, Long Pasture held to that quiet scenic nature, but as the Society has worked to optimize revenues to maintain the property and expand access, there has been a fundamental change to the nature of public use of the area and not all of it good. One undertaking of the Sanctuary was to clear trees and shrubs, flatten an area near Bone Hill Road,and bring in crushed stone for a stable parking surface. During summers since, the Society has received money from people visiting the Sanctuary, leaving their vehicles there as they visit the beach. The Society asserts that it does not operate a parking lot, that it collects daily dues from people who are not Society members for access to the Sanctuary, but that is legal gymnastics to the fact that the vast majority of visitors exit their vehicles, carry their belongings directly to the beach and return to the vehicles at the end of the beach time, having spent little or no time in the visitor center or hiking trails. The 'parking area was not subjected to public review and permitting requirements, and contains no storm water controls as far as we can determine. In our meetings with the Sanctuary, it has become clear that the Society wishes to present the school building construction as a stand alone project whose impacts should be viewed by the Town on its own merits and impacts, separate from parking and traffic. Perhaps it is the case. Perhaps we ought to have asked for a review of the plan to create the parking area when it first appeared, but, we cannot recall that there was a public planning process. Nevertheless, in our view, the classroom building will now extend the season during which there will be traffic, parking congestion on Bone Hill Road, and vehicles parked over the aquifer that supplies the drinking water to the end of the street. That expanded season is a change in use, so the town should require the Sanctuary to demonstrate that the storm water runoff from the lot is not going to poison the well water. However, the school project will very likely exacerbate a difficult parking lot situation that we neighbors already contend with in the summer months. 2 We ask that the Town carefully review the classroom project in the most comprehensive manner, including a review of how the parking and traffic in the neighborhood will be impacted, and maximizing to the extent possible, the use of storm water control measures to protect the aquifer from vehicle runoff.

My wife and I live at 304 Bone Hill Road, immediately opposite the Audubon Sanctuary driveway and we directly abut Audubon Sanctuary property. We met with Audubon Sanctuary Director Ian Ives on 7/16/19, 8/12/2019, 8/13/2019, and 10/12/2019 to discuss our concerns. We also met with Mary Griffin, Massachusetts Audubon Society Regional Director, Southeast, Cape & Islands Region, on three of these occasions. We have also communicated our concerns to Sanctuary Director Ives and Regional Director Griffin by email and in person on other occasions. We wrote to Councilman John Flores on 9/2/2019 (Attachment A) and to Ms. Sally Shea on 10/2/2019 (Attachment B)to express our concerns about activities at the Audubon Sanctuary that we believe violate Town of Barnstable regulations. Our concerns are as follows (with actions we request the Town of Barnstable to consider stated explicitly): The Audubon.Sanctuary is operating an Open-Air Private Parking Lot in violation'of Barnstable regulations The Audubon Society is running a paid parking lot for the use of beach goers (see photograph IH6A0867 below dated 8/31/2019 showing Audubon staff in Bone Hill Road soliciting a parking patron; see Photograph IH6A0779 below, showing sign at Audubon driveway entrance advertising Beach Parking $4 Admission). We believe that operating a paid parking lot and obstructing traffic on a public road are violations of Town of Barnstable regulations. 1 TI Y C s Photograph IH6A0867 dated 8/31/2019 showing Audubon staff in Bone Hill Road soliciting a parking patron. - z fn cCa mrr lbr r, _„•-.. ._ }f`gy�p Y iMui.:un .�._ Lort��Pasl L„r p i • W MassAuduboA ,,t' "� X_.s °s,.'•.�� �y„�;p e it„1 :-+way . Photograph IH6A0779 showing sign at Audubon driveway entrance advertising Beach Parking $4 Admission. We are aware that the Director Ives and Regional Director Griffin claim"Mass Audubon ... is not running a paid parking lot for the use of beach goers." (see Attachment C.Notes from Meeting Among Mass Audubon staff Ian Ives and Mary Griffin, and David and Janet Garabrant, etc. October 12, 2019). However,the activities at the entrance to the Audubon Sanctuary throughout the summers of 2018 and 2019 contradict their claim. Each week during the summer, hundreds of people dressed in bathing suits and carrying beach chairs,coolers, umbrellas, and toys,paid their parking fee to the Audubon staffers who were standing in the street,parked their cars in the Audubon Sanctuary, and proceeded directly to the beach (see photographs below). 2 It L_ They did not visit the Audubon Sanctuary for any purpose other than using the beach. Regardless of what the Audubon Sanctuary chooses to call it, it was, in fact, a paid beach parking lot.

I had already prepared meeting notes, reviewed them with other meeting participants, and distributed them to the attendees on October 12, 2019 (Attachment D), prior to Regional Director Griffin's notes (Attachment Q. The notes I prepared indicated what we believe was discussed at the meeting, and more importantly,what we thought had been agreed to. Regardless 3 of whose notes are correct, it is clear that the Audubon Sanctuary leadership does not agree to do anything about the parking lot,other than to "offer additional training to its admissions attendants..."and to "continue with a newly worded sign at the end of the Long Pasture driveway...". This is not an acceptable response to our concerns. Request 1: Prohibit the Audubon Sanctuary from obstructing traffic on Bone Hill Road. Request 2: Prohibit the Audubon Sanctuary from operating a beach parking lot. Request 3: Prohibit the Audubon Sanctuary from posting any new signs on Bone Hill Road without written approval from the Town of Barnstable. Ensure that all signage is reviewed and approved by the Old King's Highway Historic District Commission prior to being displayed. Running a paid beach parking lot and paid public beach is not consistent with the Massachusetts Audubon Society's mission,with its status as a tax exempt, nonprofit educational corporation, or with its strategic plan. The mission of the Massachusetts Audubon Society is "To protect the nature of Massachusetts for people and for wildlife through education, land conservation, advocacy, and habitat stewardship." (Attachment E. Internal Revenue Service Form 990. Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax.Massachusetts Audubon Society, Inc., 2017-2018, pages 1-2) Their mission is described in detail in the Mass Audubon Strategic Plan 2020 (Attachment F,page 9): "Overall, our ambitious agenda for statewide leadership embraces a collaborative landscape-scale response to preserving and stewarding significant wildlife habitat, for the benefit of the entire Commonwealth. "Actions Y • Strategically Acquire High-Quality Conservation Lands • Manage Habitat to Better Protect Priority Bird Species • Expand the Use and Understanding of State-of-the-Art Conservation Tools and Technology • Restore and Enhance the Habitats We Protect • Support Sustainable Land Use • Deepen Our Collaboration with Conservation Partners" Running a public beach and a beach parking lot is inconsistent with every aspect of the Audubon Society's mission, its status as a tax exempt, nonprofit educational corporation, and its strategic plan for 2020. The Audubon Sanctuary beach is overrun with beachgoers who are walking through sensitive bird habitats, trampling vegetation,throwing footballs,playing loud music, bringing dogs to the beach, and openly drinking alcoholic beverages. The beachgoers paid the Audubon Sanctuary for these privileges. The Audubon Sanctuary solicited and accepted their money. The Audubon Sanctuary beach parking, beach activities, and signage should not be permitted by the Town of Barnstable because they have no educational component,they damage the habitats the Sanctuary claims to protect, and they have no role in conservation. These 4 activities are not privileged under the tax exempt, nonprofit educational status under which the Audubon Sanctuary operates. The Massachusetts Audubon Society's exemption from various regulations as a non-profit educational corporation does not include its paid beach parking, its beach activities, or its signage because these activities are not part of, are not related to, and are not consistent with Mass Audubon's exempt educational and conservation activities. Request 4: The Town of Barnstable should not exempt the Audubon Sanctuary from any regulations that are applicable to operation of a beach parking lot, operation of a public beach, or beach-related signage because these activities are not privileged under the Massachusetts Audubon Society's status as a non-profit educational corporation. The Audubon Sanctuary beach parking lot was created without any site plan or permit and is in violation of Barnstable regulations The Audubon Sanctuary created a gravel parking lot at the east end of its driveway (at 345 Bone Hill Road) over the past three years. In order to create the parking lot,they clear-cut an area of trees and ground vegetation approximately 150 x 150 feet. I believe this clearing and creation of the parking lot was done without any site plan or permit. At our meeting on October 12, 20191 asked Director Ives and Regional Director Griffin whether there was a permit to build this parking lot, and they were unable to affirm that the Audubon Sanctuary had obtained a permit(see Attachment D,page 21, item 6). This discussion is not mentioned in Regional Director Griffin's notes from the meeting (see Attachment Q. Moreover, I showed the Site Plan drawn up by Sullivan Engineering, dated August 23, 2019 to everyone at the October 12, 2019 meeting and pointed out that the Site Plan did not show the gravel parking lot on the south side of the Audubon Sanctuary driveway near the east entrance (see Attachment G). The discussion of the Site Plan inaccuracies was also omitted from Regional Director Griffin's notes (Attachment Q. The engineering plans that the Audubon Sanctuary has been providing to the Town of Barnstable and various committees are not accurate (see Attachment D, item 7). Thus,the parking lot that is now being used for beach parking was created without a permit,without a site plan, and has been omitted from the engineering drawings that are being reviewed by the Town of Barnstable as part of the proposed Discovery Center construction project. I request that the current beach parking lot(shown in the photograph below)be closed because it was built without any permit and its operation violates Town of Barnstable regulations. 5 4 f V? H C Photograph IH6A2489 Gravel beach parking lot at east end of Audubon Sanctuary driveway (on left). Rock wall and trees along Bone Hill Road are visible at left-center. Request 5: Close the gravel parking lot at the east end of the Audubon Sanctuary driveway because it was constructed without a permit and its operation violates Town of Barnstable regulations. The Audubon Sanctuary must develop a comprehensive plan for parking on its property at 345 Bone Hill Road as part of its proposed Discovery Center construction project. The plan must be based on estimates of the numbers of visitors to the proposed Discovery Center, to the existing Sanctuary buildings(which Director Ives has stated will continue to be used for educational and administrative activities),to the Sanctuary trails, and to other areas of the property. It must show the location of designated parking spots, how many parking spots will exist, and the locations of driveways and walkways. This parking plan must include appropriate consideration of runoff and drainage, safety of children, and ADA accessibility, among other things. Abutters are concerned about runoff from the Audubon parking lot and its potential for contamination of their drinking water wells. Abutters have requested that the Audubon Society study whether their parking activities are adversely affecting ground water. (see Attachment D, item 10) Request 6: Require the Audubon Sanctuary to develop a comprehensive plan for parking as part of its Discovery Center construction project. This parking plan must show the location of designated parking spots, how many parking spots will exist, and the locations of driveways and walkways. The parking plan must include include appropriate consideration of runoff and drainage, safety of children, and ADA accessibility, among - other things. The parking plan must comply with all applicable Town of Barnstable regulations. Request 7: Insofar as the Audubon Sanctuary has been operating a beach parking lot without a permit for at least two years, and that parking lot is within approximately 100 feet of abutters' drinking water wells,the Audubon Sanctuary must provide evidence that 6 their beach parking activities have not and will not adversely affect ground water that is reasonably likely to reach abutters drinking water wells. Since the major function of the parking facilities is to serve the educational programs (especially educational programs for children) at the proposed Discovery Center and the existing buildings,the parking area should be located near those structures (at the west end of the driveway at 345 Bone Hill Road). The existing gravel parking lot at the east end of the driveway is located inappropriately for the educational mission of the Audubon Sanctuary. It serves only to facilitate beachgoers; whose activities are not part of the Massachusetts Audubon Society's mission or tax-exempt status. The Audubon Sanctuary agreed in our meeting on October 12, 2019 to move parking"to the west end of the lawn closer to the visitor center"(see Attachment C,page 2, number 2, 4t"paragraph). Abutters recognize that the Audubon Sanctuary occasionally holds large events (such as the Summer Soiree and the Cape Cod Wildlife Festival) and must use the grass lawns for this purpose. Abutters have no objection to this occasional use of lawns outside of the designated parking areas for such purposes. Request 8: Insofar as the major function of parking areas at the Audubon Sanctuary is to serve the educational programs at the proposed Discovery Center and the existing buildings and insofar as the Audubon Sanctuary has agreed to move the parking to the west end of their driveway,the Town of Barnstable will require the Audubon Sanctuary to locate their parking area at the west end of their driveway, close to the proposed Discovery Center and existing buildings. The location of all existing and proposed parking areas and walkways will be shown on the site plan for the Discovery Center construction project,which will be made available to abutters for review and comment . prior to construction. I sincerely appreciate your consideration of these comments and requests as part of your review of the Audubon Sanctuary activities and construction plans. I am available by phone or email if there is any additional information you need from me. Thank you for your assistance. Sincerely, David H.

We live at 304 Bone Hill Road, immediately opposite the Audubon Sanctuary driveway. We met with Audubon Sanctuary Director Ian Ives and his staff on 7/16/19 for a presentation by the Audubon staff and consultants regarding plans for the proposed Discovery Center building. We met with Director Ives on 8/12/2019 to discuss our concerns related to the Audubon Sanctuary. beach. We met with Director Ives on 8/13/2019 for another presentation on the proposed Discovery Center building. We have also communicated our concerns to Director Ives by email. Over the past 2-3 summers,we have observed an increased amount of traffic on Bone Hill Road as the Audubon Sanctuary has provided paid parking for beach users. We are concerned that the proposed plans for an addition to the Long Pasture Visitor Center will add to these problems. We are concerned about the following issues: Interference with use of a public way and Town Way to Water On weekends and other busy days during the summer, Audubon volunteers stop every car that comes down Bone Hill Road toward the beach. They stand in the middle of the road, flagging cars down to explain their request that cars use the Audubon lot to park. The Audubon staff are soliciting business on a public way, confronting occupants of moving vehicles on a public way, and causing the stoppage of traffic on a public way see( photograph IH6A0867 dated 8/31/2019 p g showing Audubon staff in Bone Hill Road soliciting a parking patron). We believe these are 1 violations of Town of Barnstable ordinances Chapter 406A-8: Prohibited activities on public ways. We have observed backups on the road immediately in front of our home. For example: • On September 1,2019, one of the volunteers spoke with a driver in the road for 15 minutes. These conversations happen with almost every car that comes down Bone Hill Road, for hours during active beach time(11 AM to 3 PM). These stoppages and conversations take place immediately in front of our home, blocking access to our driveway, and interfering with the quiet enjoyment of our property. This issue could be resolved simply by having Audubon staff remain on Audubon property and by having vehicles pull into the Audubon parking area before conversations. Director Ives has promised this, but the problems remain unresolved. • Our neighbor at 332 Bone Hill Road,Dorothy White,who is a senior, earlier this summer waited 8 minutes behind several cars while Audubon staff talked with drivers before she could proceed to her own driveway. • Our family members, all our friends, and we ourselves have been stopped on the road multiple times by Audubon staff while trying to visit our home, even when we have clearly indicated we intend to turn into our driveway. • In early August 2019, an Audubon staff member standing in the road tried to stop our niece while she was driving on Bone Hill Road. She motioned to him that she was turning into our driveway and drove past him. He followed her into our driveway, was verbally aggressive, and accused her of"almost hitting" him. She told him she had done no such thing and asked him to leave the property. We view this as a violation of our privacy and of our rights as homeowners. • On September 1, 2019, we observed an Audubon staff member stop a driver with a kayak on his car. The driver stated his intent use the Town Way to Water to launch his boat. The Audubon staff member told him he could access the water but should come back and pay to park, even though this individual had no plan to use Audubon facilities. The Audubon staff seemed to be confused about the rights of the public to use Town Way to Water, and implied that.the Audubon Society controlled this public access point. Operation of an Open Air Private Parking Lot(Barnstable Ordinance Chapter 406A) The Audubon Society is running a paid parking lot for the use of beach goers(see photograph IH6A0779 showing sign at Audubon driveway entrance, advertising Beach Parking $4 Admission). The Audubon parking areas also are used during the school year by school busses that bring children to the Audubon Preschool, by Audubon staff, by visitors using the trails, and by attendees of large events (fund-raisers, weddings, educational programs). We have counted over 80 vehicles parked on the Audubon property at one time during a large event, which demonstrates that the capacity of this parking facility is quite large. It appears this parking lot has not been properly permitted as required under Chapter 406A: Open Air Private Parking Lots. The parking lot has no delineated parking spaces, no maximum delineated capacity, and no designated setback from the property line along Bone Hill Road (see photographs IH6A0915 showing vehicles parked on grass without designated spaces, IH6A0919 showing vehicles parked on grass close to Bone Hill Road). 2 I Y (1 The area that is now a gravel parking lot was until recently a wooded area(see photograph IMG_1251 showing wooded area to left of Audubon driveway in 2010)that was cleared of trees and brush to make a parking lot. We are not aware that the Old King's Highway Historic District Committee or the Town of Barnstable reviewed any plans to convert the wooded area to the gravel parking lot or how this construction would change the character of this historic road. It would be reasonable to require the Audubon Sanctuary to move the parking area away from the road,plant shrubbery to conceal the vehicles from view, and comply with Town of Barnstable regulations. We are aware that the Audubon Sanctuary is considering adding an electric vehicle (EV) charging station. We have seen no engineering plans for this.Numerous questions need to be addressed before this proceeds: • Where will the EV Charging station be located? • What electrical apparatus will be installed (power lines,power drops,transformers, vehicle hookups)? • Will the charging stations be esthetically appropriate? • How many charging stations will there be? • Will the charging stations be available to Audubon members only?Beach goers?Anyone who visits the Sanctuary? • Will charging stations be available 24 hours a day?Will hours be restricted? • Will charging be free or will patrons pay for it? Will this be an outdoor business? There are no stormwater controls in place to contain stormwater on site. During large rain events storm water flows east, down the Audubon Sanctuary driveway, across Bone Hill Road, and discharges onto our property, near our private drinking water well. Our home has no access to town water. If runoff from the Audubon Sanctuary parking activities adversely affects our drinking water,we are at risk of condemnation of our property. If it has not already done so,we request that the Town of Barnstable require the Audubon Sanctuary to go through a site plan review process for their parking facility (gravel lot, grassy areas used for parking, driveways, EV charging stations) and that the parking facility obtain a license as required. The parking lot appears not to comply with Town of Barnstable ordinances Chapters 406A-1, 406A-2, 406A-3, 406A-4, and 406A-8 (as discussed above). Because there are no sanitary facilities readily available to beach goers or parking lot patrons, Sanctuary Director Ives has said he is considering that the Audubon Sanctuary may provide Porta-Potties for beach goers. Currently there is one bathroom in the visitor center and the proposed Discovery Center bathrooms are not intended for use by beach goers. We also request that the Audubon Sanctuary undergo a review by the Old King's Highway Historic District Committee to ensure that its beach operations,parking operations, EV charging station, and sanitary facilities (including proposed Porta-Potties) are adequate and aesthetically appropriate to the historic integrity of the district, neighborhood, and setting. 3 Operation of a Public Bathing Beach It appears that the Audubon Sanctuary is operating a public beach as defined in Massachusetts State Sanitary Code Chapter VII, 105 CMR 445.00. Their parking lot sign clearly states "Beach Parking$4 admission" (see photograph IH6A0779 showing the Beach Parking sign at entrance to the Audubon Sanctuary). Audubon staff who stop cars on Bone Hill Road tell drivers that use of the parking lot entitles users to "2000 ft. of beach". As far as we are aware,the Audubon Sanctuary beach is not in compliance with codes CMR 445.020, 445.032,445.033, and 445.300. We request that the Audubon Sanctuary be made to comply with the Massachusetts State Sanitary Code that applies to public bathing beaches. Intensification of Use of Beach and Bone Hill Road On summer weekends over the past 10 summers the use of the beach has increased from perhaps a dozen people on the beach to between 60 and 80 people. A decade ago, the beach was mostly used by families with children who were enjoying nature, swimming, and walking the tidal flats. Since the Audubon Sanctuary started charging admission the character of the beach use has changed. During the July 4, 2019 weekend an estimated 200 people used the beach. An incident involving unruly beach goers resulted in Barnstable Police being called. Beach patrons routinely consume alcoholic beverages, bring dogs,play radios,toss footballs and frisbees, smoke cigarettes and use flotation devices (see photograph IH6A0880 Beach goers openly drinking alcoholic beverages, footballs, and flotation devices). Although signs are posted prohibiting some of these activities,the rules.are not enforced. It appears that the activities of the beach goers are increasingly inconsistent with the mission of the Audubon Sanctuary to preserve the natural environment. Providing recreation for the public at the beach has nothing to do with protecting wildlife and the natural resources of Cape Cod. On summer weekends vehicle traffic on Bone Hill Road is heavy and foot traffic from the parking lot to the beach makes it dangerous to drive faster than at a crawl (see photograph IH6A0795 showing children walking in the middle of Bone Hill Road from Audubon parking lot to the beach). The intersection of Bone Hill Road at Route 6A has also become more dangerous as traffic has increased. We request that the Audubon Sanctuary conduct a traffic study to evaluate the number and speed of vehicles using the street,the safety of pedestrians,the safety of the intersection at route 6A, and how these should be managed. We request that the Town of Barnstable develop a plan for managing vehicle traffic and pedestrians on Bone Hill Road. Bone Hill Road is a narrow, rural, historic road with rock walls lining both sides. The character of the road and of our neighborhood has changed due to the removal of trees and vegetation to create the Audubon Sanctuary parking lot,the increased vehicle and pedestrian traffic, interference with traffic flow by Audubon staff, dozens of cars parked adjacent to the road at the Audubon Sanctuary, increased beach usage, and increased trash,noise, and sanitation issues at the beach. Plans in development include a new Discovery Center building,expanded preschool activities, Porta Potties for beach goers, and EV charging stations. We are concerned how these activities will further intensify the use of the Sanctuary,the beach, and Bone Hill Road. Summary We enjoy having the Audubon Sanctuary as neighbors, are members of the Audubon Society, contribute to their fund-raising, and support their educational and environmental goals. However, 4 we believe that the Audubon Sanctuary's recent activities discussed above are not in compliance with state and town regulations, are inconsistent with their mission of protecting nature, adversely affect the historic integrity of our neighborhood, and interfere with our use of our private property. We request your assistance in addressing the problems we have discussed above. We would be pleased to meet with you at your convenience if you have questions that we could address. Our goal is to preserve the natural serenity and historic integrity of our neighborhood. We would like to work cooperatively with the Audubon Society and the Town of Barnstable to achieve this goal. Thank you.

Garabrant, MD, MPH 304 Bone Hill Road Cummaquid, MA 02637 734-646-2692 (mobile) dhg3@comcast.net Ms. Sally Shea Town of Barnstable Building Department and Zoning Enforcement By email to: sall. .s�@town.barnstable.ma.us October 2, 2019 Dear Ms. Shea, Thank you for speaking with me this afternoon. I live at 304 Bone Hill Road, Cummaquid, directly across from The Long Pasture Audubon Sanctuary driveway. This morning the Audubon Sanctuary hosted a tour bus from Vermont filled with school children who were visiting for an educational program on the sand flats to learn about horseshoe crabs. The bus was too large to accommodate the driveway entrance into the Audubon Sanctuary. After it maneuvered into the driveway it parked in the gravel parking lot that the Audubon Sanctuary has been operating without any permit and in violation of Town of Barnstable regulations. While the children were on the sand flats Audubon staff dismantled a historic stone wall along Bone Hill Road to widen the driveway entrance. After the children returned from the sand flats and got back on the bus, it left the Audubon Sanctuary. The bus driver had to maneuver the bus forward and backward repeatedly in order to get out of the driveway, running over stone walls on the south side and north side of the Audubon entrance. I believe that in addition to operating an illegal parking lot,the Audubon Sanctuary violated Town of Barnstable regulations that prohibit dismantling historic stone walls. I have attached photographs I took today showing • Photograph IH6A2039. Tour bus entering Audubon Sanctuary driveway at 8:54 am 10/2/2019 • Photograph IH6A2152. Tour bus parked in illegal gravel parking lot.Note stone wall at right side of Audubon driveway with vegetation intact and no bare dirt. 9:04 am 10/2/2019. • Photograph IH6A2173. Tour bus with Vermont plate 12821 exiting Audubon driveway. Note wheel on second rear axle climbing rock wall on left side of Audubon driveway. 10:58 am 10/2/2019. • Photograph IH6A2188. Right side of Audubon driveway after Vermont tour bus has exited, showing approximately 3 feet of wall has been removed and bare dirt in its place. Stones are thrown in the brush and piled on top of existing wall. 10:55 am 10/2/2019. It is my belief that the Audubon Sanctuary is a)operating a parking lot in violation of Town of Barnstable regulations, b) hosting busses that are too big to fit into their premises, and c) dismantling historic structures in violation of Town of Barnstable regulations in order to accommodate vehicles that don't belong there in the first place. Why is the Audubon Sanctuary hosting children from Vermont at the expense of damaging our historic heritage in Barnstable? I request.that the Barnstable Building Department&Zoning Enforcement staff make a site visit promptly to assess the Audubon's activities, whether they have violated Town of Barnstable regulations, and to ensure that the Audubon comes into compliance with regulations. I have met with Sanctuary Director Ian Ives repeatedly to discuss the Audubon activities over the past three months and I wrote a letter to Councilman John Flores on September 2, 2019 expressing my concerns. That letter was forwarded to Town Manager Mark Ells and Town Attorney Ruth Weil, and I believe your department has also reviewed the letter. I have received no response from anyone at the Town of Barnstable. Frankly, no one has come out to see what is going on or why I am concerned. Many of my neighbors share my concerns. We are getting nowhere with the Audubon Sanctuary while they continue to violate Town of Barnstable regulations and damage the character of the Bone Hill Road neighborhood. I would be pleased to meet with you and to discuss the situation in person as soon as you are available. Sincerely, David H.

Notes from Meeting Among Mass Audubon staff Ian Ives and Mary Griffin,and David and Janet Garabrant, Dorothy White,Joyce White and Linda Conaway Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary October 12,2019 (prepared and distributed by Mary Griffin October 16,2019) 10 Notes from Meeting Among Mass Audubon staff Ian Ives and Mary Griffin,and David and Janet Garabrant, Dorothy White,Joyce White and Linda Conaway Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary October 12,2019 Sanctuary Director Ian Ives and Regional Director Mary Griffin met at Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary on October 121h to initiate discussions involving beach and parking management that had been identified as requiring action this winter by the Town of Barnstable, Long Pasture and neighbors. Additional concerns voiced by this group were discussed as well. 1. Parking Signage and Attendants: The neighbors present at the meeting expressed concern with the beach signage wording used this past summer for the parking area, and how staff and volunteers engaged with the public in directing visitors to park in the Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary parking area. Mass Audubon explained that it is not running a paid parking lot for the use of beach goers. Long Pasture does not charge a parking fee in addition to the admission fee paid to visit to the sanctuary. Our only charge is admission to the sanctuary, and it is for the use of the whole sanctuary, not just the beach. The use of the beach parking sign at the driveway was exclusively to direct vehicles coming to the sanctuary for the beach to park in our designated sanctuary parking lot. With this approach,. we tried to reduce vehicle congestion in front of the Garabrant's and White's homes, reduce turnarounds in their driveways,allow for access of emergency vehicles and avoid backups from occurring. Neighbors indicated that they would rather have vehicles return to parking on Bone Hill Road and deal with that situation. The neighbors present said that they preferred not having the parking signage and staff present to direct traffic. Ian let the neighbors know that this is likely to result in people driving to the end of the road and turning around, backing up, turning in the Garabrant's and White's driveway and also trying to park on the road to get to the beach. Mass Audubon agreed that it would eliminate the attendants to direct traffic and the existing Sanctuary Beach Parking sign on Bone Hill Road. With this new management approach in place, it will be necessary for the Town of Barnstable to enforce no parking on all of Bone Hill Road. Without this new enforcement, any attempt to cap access to the beach will be unmanageable, and in this instance,we would propose to continue with a newly worded sign at the end of the Long Pasture Driveway to direct traffic to the Sanctuary parking area. Mass Audubon attendants,when scheduled by the Sanctuary Director,will be located inside the sanctuary driveway to collect sanctuary admission fees.The neighbors and Mass Audubon will request that the Town of Barnstable police provide additional presence along the road,and when appropriate,ticket or otherwise enforce against those who park along Bone Hill Road. Mass Audubon will work with neighbors to make a request of the Town that all of Bone Hill Road be a no parking area. Mass Audubon will offer additional training to its admissions attendants to improve interactions with neighbors and other visitors. M I 1 The attendees discussed whether closure of the Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary beach to all visitors was appropriate. The neighbor attendees thought that this might be potentially problematic as it would deprive all visitors of beach use and could be difficult to enforce. Beach closure remains on the table, at Mass Audubon's discretion,and pending further considerations. 2. Parking Layout: Some present at the meeting expressed concerns about the amount of parking used during the 8-9 week summer period for beach visitors and its configuration at Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary. It was agreed that Mass Audubon would work with its staff to develop a plan for the site that moves the parking area for daily use further from Bone Hill Road and closer to the Visitor Center. Some neighbors present expressed the view that the plans submitted to the Old King's Highway Commission should have shown the existing parking areas in more detail on the plan. Mass Audubon explained that the plan submitted to the Old King's Highway Commission focused on the new proposed education building and related new infrastructure within their jurisdiction,and not existing conditions. The Old King's Highway Commission reviews applications.for any change in the exterior of buildings and structures, fences and signs,and applications for new construction or demolition, not existing conditions. Some neighbors proposed that a new parking area be created at the upper trailhead parking lot to move the existing parking away from the two neighbors at the end of Bone Hill Road. Mass Audubon staff said that this would require destroying highly valuable early successional habitat on the sanctuary,and create an array of other problems. Mass Audubon did not see this as a viable option. Some neighbors suggested that 30-40 parking spaces might be appropriate. Mass Audubon staff said that they needed to review what amount of parking is needed to carry out its various preschool,school and adult education programs, as well as day to day visitation and special events and would update those present on what it determines. Ian Ives said that we will take steps to prevent cars from parking in the school bus parking area for daily sanctuary visitation, including use of the beach,through use of a rope, split rail or other system. Mass Audubon staff said that while it is necessary to continue use of the grass lawn for car parking, it would be moved to the west end of the lawn closer to the visitor center. Mass Audubon will continue to use the lawn for visitors as well as for the occasional larger events, such as the annual Summer Soiree or Cape Cod Wildlife Festival events. 3. Bus Parking: Due to feedback from the Town of Barnstable Fire Department and school bus drivers, and in order to make the bus parking as efficient,simple and risk free as possible, Mass Audubon created a permeable, packed parking area for school buses. Some present at the meeting expressed concerns about whether runoff from this area could adversely affect their properties or wells. No one present at the meeting had evidence of a runoff problem. Mass Audubon agreed investigate further to determine what is required. The three Coach buses that visit the site each year cannot easily navigate the turn into the sanctuary. Mass Audubon agreed that it would no longer allow Coach buses to park in the visitor center parking area. 4. Plantings: There was concern by some that vegetation had been removed adjacent to Bone Hill Road and the Sanctuary driveway area to make room for additional parking area. Ian Ives explained that Mass Audubon cleared the area to removed invasive vegetation that was overrunning the entrance area,to create a more formal and appropriate entranceway to the sanctuary,to remove rotting trees that were a risk to fall on Bone Hill Road and visitors,expand valuable orchard habitat,and provided room for grazing animals and other programs. The clearing was not done to create a parking area,as the need for a bus parking areas was not determined at the time of the clearing. A bus parking area was later created in this spot out of necessity per town safety requirements and vehicle control in the driveway and parking areas. Mass Audubon agreed that it would plant some native trees along the wall at the sanctuary entrance at Bone Hill Road that would grow to create a visual buffer. 5. Town Right of Way to Water: Neighbors asked whether the Town Right of Way to Water along Bone Hill Road could have signage limiting its usage to those with a Barnstable resident sticker. Mass Audubon said that this is a Town of Barnstable decision, but is happy to ask the Town this question and share what information the Town provides. Attachment D. Notes from meeting:at Audubon Long Pasture Sanctuary. October 12,2019 (prepared and distributed by David Garabrant October 12,2019) 1 Notes from meeting at Audubon Long Pasture Sanctuary. October 12, 2019 Attendees: Audubon Staff Ian Ives and Mary Griffin, Abutters of Long Pasture David Garabrant, Janet Garabrant, Dorothy White, Joyce White. Linda Conaway. Director Ives provided a handout that stated the Audubon Society is not running a paid parking lot for the use of beach goers. Dr. Garabrant pointed out that Audubon maintains a sign at the entrance to its Sanctuary that says Beach Parking Admission$4; visitors read the sign, pay $4, park their cars, and go to the beach. Regardless of whether the Audubon Sanctuary intends this to be a paid parking lot, it functions as one and is in fact a paid parking lot for beach goers. The following issues were discussed and agreed to: 1. The Audubon Sanctuary will no longer have a sign for beach parking at the entrance to the Audubon Sanctuary. 2. The Audubon Sanctuary will move their visitor parking area to the west end of their driveway, close to the Visitor Center. The Audubon Sanctuary will no longer allow visitor parking at the east end of their driveway. A parking area for school busses will be designated after consultation with Audubon's architectural consultant,taking into consideration children's safety and Town of Barnstable regulations for school bus parking. 3. The Audubon Sanctuary will inquire with the Town of Barnstable whether parking for the Town Way to Water on Bone Hill Road can have signage that indicates a Barnstable Resident sticker is required. The results of this inquiry will be shared with abutters. 4. There was discussion of whether the Audubon Sanctuary should close their beach to all use, including Audubon members and visitors. This was felt to be problematic because it would deprive members and visitors of all beach use and would be difficult to enforce. 5. The Audubon Sanctuary will plant shrubbery along Bone.Hull Road on the south side of their driveway entrance to replace shrubbery and brush that were cleared to make the existing parking area. 6. The Audubon Sanctuary does not have a construction permit for the gravel parking lot that was built recently on the south side of their driveway near the east entrance. This gravel parking lot is currently used for beach parking and bus parking. The Audubon Sanctuary will make a written inquiry with the Town of Barnstable as to whether this parking lot should have had a building permit prior to its construction. If the parking lot should have had a building permit,the Audubon Society will obtain all applicable approvals from the Town of Barnstable. The results of this inquiry and copies of all permit applications,reviews,and decisions by the Town of Barnstable will be provided to abutters. 1 J 7. It was noted that the Site Plan for Proposed Improvements at 345 Bone Hill Road drawn up by Sullivan Engineering, dated August 23, 2019 and certified by John O'Day,P.E. do not show the gravel parking lot on the south side of the Audubon Sanctuary driveway near the east entrance. These plans were submitted to the Old Kings Highway District Commission and were approved at their meeting on September 25, 2019. The Old Kings Highway District Commission was not provided accurate information about the parking facilities at the Audubon Sanctuary when it considered the Audubon proposal to construct a 1,600 sqft one-story building including walkways, grading, and landscaping. 8. It was agreed that the Audubon Sanctuary will work with their architectural consultant to draw up a parking plan for the entire Audubon Sanctuary. This plan will include a defined number of parking places to be created near the Visitor Center for visitor use, including beach goers. Signs will be posted informing visitors that additional parking is available at the bend in Bone Hill Road where Audubon maintains another gravel parking lot. It was suggested that 30 parking spots near the Visitor Center would be an appropriate number,which would allow approximately 60 beach goers at any point in time. Additional parking for large events (such as fund raisers)will be included in the plans. The parking plan will be shared and discussed with abutters prior to implementation. 9. The Audubon Sanctuary will no longer allow tour busses to visit the Sanctuary. 10. Abutters are concerned about runoff from the Audubon parking lot and its potential for contamination of their drinking water wells.Abutters proposed that the Audubon Society study whether their parking activities are adversely affecting ground water. The Audubon Sanctuary will inform abutters of the results of all such tests. 2 Attachment E. Internal Revenue Service Form 990.

Jared Chase,Chair of the Board �t. Mass Audubon's Strategic Plan 2015-2020 places special emphasis on connecting our rich history with the possibilities of the future. The Plan validates existing actions, and embraces new ones, that will strengthen and expand our leadership role to effectively advance conservation in Massachusetts. Through our network of wildlife sanctuaries, we will continue to provide places for everyone to connect with the natural world. And, informed by science, we will employ our tested strategies of conservation, education, and advocacy to make Mass Audubon even more relevant, engaging, effective, and sustainable. Since our founding in 1896, Mass Audubon has joined with partner organizations, scientists, government officials, conservationists, and community activists to protect and maintain the natural heritage of Massachusetts for people and wildlife. We are now increasingly aware of the need to take bold, comprehensive steps to make Massachusetts more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Our Plan therefore articulates the unique role we will play in advancing the understanding of, and response to, this challenge. Above all, our Strategic Plan focuses on ensuring that the gift of nature is shared with the broadest possible range of people in ways that are the most meaningful to them. Whether it is-exploring one of our trails, participating in an educational program, attending a summer camp, becoming a citizen scientist, or advocating for sound environmental policy—there is a place for everyone. We are inspired by our ambitious Plan that defines three key goals: Connect People and Nature for the Benefit of Both Protect and Care for Land and Habitats of Significance Address the Challenges of Climate Change in Massachusetts The challenges of conservation can be daunting, but we have established a road map for increasing our reach,expanding partnerships, sharing best practices, and engaging more people in the wonders of nature. We are resolute in our conviction that, together with our members, donors, staff, partners, and volunteers, we will protect the nature of Massachusetts now f and for generations to come.

New grading proposed for ADA entry pathway. The above preliminary proposal was reviewed in an informal site plan review staff meeting held May 28,2019 with the applicant and representatives: Present Brian Florence,Building Commissioner/SPR Chairman Brian.Florence(2town.barnstable.ma.us Deputy Chief Rick Pfautz,Barnstable FD rpfautz@barnstablefire.org Griffin Beaudoin,Town Engineer,DPW Griffin.beaudoin(cytown.barnstable.ma.us Tom McKean,Health Department Director Thomas.McKean@town.barnstble.ma.us Don Desmarais,Health Inspector Donald.DesmaraisCwtown.barnstable.ma.us Darcy Karle, Conservation Administrator Darcy.Karl e cr,town..barnstable.ma.us Paul Wackrow, Senior Planner Paul.Wacluowktown.barnstable.ma.us Anna Brigham,Principal Planner Anna.Brigham�,town.bamstabie.ma.us Richard Scali, Director of Licensing Richard.Scali cr,town.barnstable.ma.us Maggie Flynn, Licensing Assistant Margaret.Flynn�town.bamstable.ma.us Ian Ives, Sanctuary Director,Mass Audubon iivesCa/massaudubonb.or John O'Dea, Sullivan Engineering John@tSullivanengin.com Jill Neubauer,Architect ineubauer@jnarchitects.com Kristian Mizes-Tan,Architect kmizestan(a-)jnarchitects.com Ellen Swiniarslci—Coordinator Ellen.Swiniarski(titown,barnstable.ma.us Mr.Ian Ives, sanctuary director,provided a brief background of the Mass Audubon property. The building on the property was the Sherman Parker House converted 14 years ago to a visitor's center open to the public. There are two entities that share space in this building: Long Pasture Education and Coastal Water Shore Birds. The need for expansion of the space is long overdue. Ms.Neubauer explained that after an assessment of the existing building,the decision was made to build a new structure for the"Discovery Center". Ms.Neubauer explained that it was important for Mass Audubon to meet with Town staff before they got too far along in the project without feedback. Specifically,she wanted to ensure that the bedrooms in the existing building presently being used for sleeping met compliance without any changes,with the exception of windows that will be brought up to code as a means of egress; and confirmation that the building is not required to be fire safety sprinkler protected. Mr. Mizes-Tan noted that building permits had been pulled as both a residential and commercial and wanted to ensure these are in compliance with the current use. Ms.Neubauer said that she did not think the new classroom space would require sprinkler protection. Mr. O'Dea stated that the existing condition plan shows parking calculations and Title V for the existing use. He noted that there are 35 existing parking spaces with 75 spaces available in the field. The intention is to improve the site to the least extent possible for day to day use instead of the occasional one-day events. Proposed new building could add potentially 110 people requiring updates for septic system and parking. The 1 i condition of the septic system would need to be evaluated. The following comments were offered by staff at the meeting: Brian Florence,Building Commissioner/SPR Chairman Tel: 508-862-4038 • A proposed site plan with all site features,parking delineated and parking calculations is required. • A 2015 IEBC evaluation for the existing building is required. • Noted possible safety issues for the existing building with no fire alarms or fire safety sprinkler system present in a mixed use building. • Requests documentation for Mass Audubon's exempt status including the Corporate Articles of Organization. • Site Plan Review approval will be required as prerequisite for a building permit. A formal site plan review filing will be required for site plan review approval. Paul Wackrow, Senior Planner Tel: 508-862-4703 • The new building and changes to the site will require prior approval from the Old King's Highway. Maggie Flynn,Licensing Assistant Tel: 508-862.4774 • One-day license will be required from the Licensing Authority for events. Deputy Chief Rick Pfautz—Barnstable FD Tel: 508-362-3312 • Current access to the site is tight and will to be improved. • Confirmed the use of the existing building for pre-school child care for children ages 3-5 years of age,noting less than 2 years, 9 months as the threshold that potentially requires the installation of a fire alarm and sprinkler systems. • Noted that the end of the driveway closest to the building needs to be opened up to meet turn radius as a part of the additional parking. If adding assembly use group,need to improve HP accessibility. Darcy Karle,Conservation Administrator Tel: 508-862-4093 • A Notice of Intent is required to be filed with the Conservation Commission for the new building. Griffin Beaudoin—Town Engineer-DPW Tel: 508-790-6400 • Confirmed that the expanded parking will be gravel. • Drainage design and roof drains will be required.- Tom McKean,Director,Health Department Tel: 508-862-4640 Don Desmarais, Health Inspector Tel: 508-862-4740 • Consultation and offline meeting with Health Department to determine required rates and flows /uses for Title V is suggested. Use groups will determine required flows as well as determine parking requirements. • Noted that under Title V, cesspools are an automatic fail. The garage will need to be included in the septic design or abandoned and filled in. 2 BARNSTABLE FIRE DEPARTMENT 2' y�°BL1StiF s�' 3249 Main Street—P.O.

Dear Commissioner Perry: In accordance with MGL Chapter 148 Section 28A, I am making you aware and request your review of a commercial assembly building with dormitories relative to Lam, relocated bedrooms at: Massachusetts Audubon 345 Bone Hill Road Barnstable, MA While on an annual inspection�at.this:building, I found that the facility had relocated the sleeping quarters that were originally permitted on the second floor. The sleeping quarters were relocated to the first floor of the building without permission or review from the Building or Fire Department. One of the sleeping quarters has an under- sized egress window for secondary egress and the fire alarm and CO detection will need to be modified to reflect the change in location. I would like to request that we meet at the site to review the change to see if the Building Department has any additional YJ concerns. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

DEFINITION OF HOMEOWNER Person(s)who owns a parcel of land on which he/she resides or intends to reside,on which there is,or is intended to be, a one or two-family dwelling,attached or detached structures accessory to such use and/or farm structures. A person who constructs more than one home in a two-year period shall not be considered a homeowner. Such "homeowner"shall submit to the Building Official on a form acceptable to the Building Official, that he/she shall be responsible for all such work performed under the building permit. (Section 109.1.1) The undersigned"homeowner"assumes responsibility for compliance with the State Building Code and other applicable codes,bylaws,rules and regulations. The undersigned"homeowner"certifies that he/she understands the Town of Barnstable Building Department minimum inspection procedures and requirements and that he/she will comply with said procedures and requirements. Signature of Homeowner Approval of Building Official Note: Three-family dwellings containing 35,000 cubic feet or larger will be required to comply with the State Building Code Section 127.0 Construction Control. . HOMEOWNER'S EXEMPTION The Code states that: "Any homeowner performing work for which a building permit is required shall be exempt from the provisions of this section(Section 109.1.1 -Licensing of construction Supervisors);provided that if the homeowner engages a person(s)for hire to do such work,that such Homeowner shall act as supervisor." Many homeowners who use this exemption are unaware that they are assuming the responsibilities of a supervisor(see Appendix Q, Rules&Regulations for Licensing Construction Supervisors,Section 2.15) This lack of awareness often results in serious problems,particularly when the homeowner hires unlicensed persons. In this case,our Board cannot proceed against the unlicensed person as it would with a licensed Supervisor. The homeowner acting as Supervisor is ultimately responsible. To ensure that the homeowner is fully aware of his/her responsibilities,many communities require,as part of the permit application, that the homeowner certify that he/she understands the responsibilities of a Supervisor. On the last page of this issue is a form currently used by several towns. You may care t amend and adopt such a form/certification for use in your community.

HOMEOWNER'S EXE N .The Code states that Any homeowner perfomring work for which a build' permit is required shall be exempt from the provisions of this section(Section I U9.1.1-Liansing of construction Supervisors);provided that if a homeowner engages a person(s)for hip to do such work,that such Homeowner s 1 act as supervisor." Many homeowners who use this exemption are unaware that they are assuming thi responsibilities of a supervisor(see Appendix Q, Rules&Regulations for Licensing Construction Supervisors,Section 2.15) This lack of awareness Dften results in serious problems,particularly when the homeowner hires unlicensed persons. In this case,our Board cannot proceed against the unlicensed person as it would with a licensed Supervisor. The homeowner acting as Supervisor is ultimately responsible. To ensure that the homeowner is fully aware of his/her responsibilities,many communities require,as part of the permit application, that the homeowner certify that hclshe understands the responsibilities of a Supervisor. On the last page of this issue is a form currently used by several towns. You may care t amend and adopt such a fomJcertification for use in your community.

The legal staff and I shall review the issues and points that have been raised in this letter. In the mean time, however, I wish to emphasize that my original opinion that wedding functions are not allowed to take place still stands. I have enclosed a copy of this original letter to Ian Ives dated October 30, 2008 for your convenience. Please direct the Site Director, Mr. Ives not to book wedding parties. I cannot emphasize this matter enough. Should you wish to appeal this decision, you may do so with the Zoning Board of Appeals. If you require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Respectfully, Thomas Perry, CBO Building Commissioner cc: Attorney Ruth J.

We would urge you to reconsider the views expressed in your October 30, 2008 letter that certain activities should not be allowed on the property as they are not "educa=Tonal" within the meaning of the zoning enabling act . Most of the activities that take place on the Long Pasture property- are squarely and functionally related to Mass Audubon' s educational, mission; such: as- .meetings, :lectures; nature. • workshops, drop off programs for children, � guided nature tours and self-guided walks over Mass Audubon' s trail network by its visitors . Like many non profit organizations with attractive properties, however, Mass Audubon has attempted to .encourage •its members to consider Long Pasture a place which they might wish to consider renting for a private gathering. This is, of course, part of Mass Audubon' s response to its continuing challenge to find enough financial support to meet its educational programming objectives . The scope of potential rental activity at Long Pasture is necessarily limited, given the seasonality of the demand and the need to keep the property available for Audubon' s mission-related activities within that same time frame. To put the financial aspect in perspective, wedding rentals could yield about $6, 200/year against a Long Pasture total expense budget of $140, 000 . While the dollars are relatively small when you look at-, it this way, the revenue stream is nevertheless important . For example, .the $6, 200 from wedding rentals supports Long Pasture' s Education Coordinator, enabling Mass Audubon .to. staff family and childrens' ..programs .at t_he site. ana in. the, Barnstable community.

We all know that churches, museums and private individuals typically conduct all manner of fund-raisers on their properties; e.g. , "casino" and "bingo" nights, auctions, sales, dinners, parties and receptions - whether or not the properties happen to be located in residential zoning districts. I don' t think anyone feels compelled to ask whether these activities are "educational, " "religious" or "residential. " Everyone knows that they are fund-raisers, pure and simple, that they are conducted to support organizations and programs that are valued in the community, and that, so long as they do not overwhelm the property and the community by their scope and frequency, they are properly considered incidental to the otherwise permitted uses of the properties . Take, for example, the yard sale my neighbor conducts in our residential zoning district, which is not objectionable to me or to my other neighbors if it occurs once or twice a year. But it would be properly characterized as "commercial" and even, perhaps, a "nuisance" if it were to happen every Saturday! The same might be true of the homeowner who decides to rent his seaside property on a regular basis for weddings as a sideline business. I think these situations can and should be distinguished from rental activities which are clearly incidental to, and financially supportive of, a dominant legal use of a property. Recent Massachusetts judicial decisions reflect a disinclination on the part of our courts to conduct an activity- by-activity analysis of what may be permitted on a property when the primary and dominant use is clearly protected by the statute. See, for example Trustees of Boston College v. Board of Aldermen of Newton, 58 Mass App. Ct . 794 (2003) ; Trustees of Tufts College v. City of Medford, 415 Mass. 753 (1993) . In Martin v. The Corporation of the Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Chief Justice Marshall, in rejecting a lower court' s finding that a church steeple was not "religious" stated: "To view each element, each section of a `structure' as requiring an independent `religious' use leads to impossible I- GARRITY, LEVIN AND MUIR LLP Thomas Perry, CBO Building Commissioner Town of Barnstable March 17, 2009 Page 3 results. Is a church kitchen or a church parking lot a `religious' use? We have not formulated the test so narrowly. " 434 Mass . 141, 149 (2001) . Mass Audubon does not want its wedding rental activities to be burdensome on its neighbors, or on the community at large, which is why it has satisfied permitting requirements that relate to public gatherings. Mass Audubon remains willing and eager to work with Town officials on permitting issues that might be applicable to particular situations and .feels that this approach can strike an appropriate balance that is mindful of Mass Audubon' s financial needs while sensitive to the interests of the community. Mass Audubon feels that Long Pasture and the educational activities which take place there are vital assets to the Town of Barnstable. We hope that you and the Town will be willing to work with Mass Audubon to insure that Long Pasture' s mission can remain economically viable and that its programs will continue to benefit the community. We would be happy to answer any further questions that you might have or to meet with you to discuss this further.

Using friendly yet persistent persuasion, these two Back Bay cousins enlisted over nine hundred people to join society for the protection of birds in Massachusetts and around the country. Their advocacy—which resulted in the passage of the Migratory Bird Treaty—marked on, the seminal moments in the history of environmental activism in the United States. Since that time, the Advocacy Department has played a crucial role in the passage some of the strongest conservation laws in the country. Through the Lincoln Headquarters,Advocacy staff develop policies and publication relating to the Society's conservation priorities, comment on major proposed development projects, and serve on state advisory committees working to develop http://www.massaudubon.org/advocacy/index.php 10/30/2008 oFt rq,,, Town of Barnstable o Regulatory Services. vMB`'E,$ Thomas F.

We very well understand how tours,community workshops (as long as it's related to the rp ime mission of the Audubon society) and community supported agriculture can be included under the allowed exempt uses of your operation. However, festivals, such as folk music festivals, facility rentals, graduation parties, family reunions, club meetings, wedding ceremonies and receptions we feel do not meet the criteria to be an allowed exempted use. All of these activities are not related to the main mission of Mass Audubon which according to your own web site is: Mission—to protect the Nature of Massachusetts Vision—A Commonwealth in which people appreciate and understand native plants and animals and their habitats andwork together to ensure that they are truly protected.

Mass Audubon's (MAS) use of its sanctuaries for rentals, specifically weddings 2. MAS's rationale for engaging in wedding rentals Mass Audubon, a 501(C)(3) organization, is the largest environmental organization in New England, and has been in existence for over 112 years. MAS operates 45 wildlife sanctuaries across the state that are open to the public, each of which maintains its own operating budget. Our staffed sanctuaries, including Long Pasture, offer trails, nature centers, visitor facilities, volunteer opportunities and educational programming for all ages. Each sanctuary relies on a variety of income sources to meet its operating budget and support its education, advocacy and conservation work. These income sources include endowments, gifts and grants, special events and program revenue. Across41he state;=lVlass- udu661 W§ sanctuaries hold a wide variety of special events to generate'revenue to`support.our mission. These riclude`festivals�celebrations; community supported agriculture (CSA`s), communitywo`rkshops`, tours; and`facility rentals. Facility rentals include family reunions, picnics, club meetings, graduation Parties, wedding ceremonies and receptions. Prot" thi2/V&we,o f�t�t a ssac�u netts � 1 Long Pasture Wildlife Sanctuary in Cummaquid anticipates offering wedding rentals from time to time as a means of financial support for the conservation work we do on Cape Cod. We would anticipate making space available for weddings on no more than 5 occasions between May and October. The rental space will be limited to the 1 acre .lawn surrounding the Visitor Center, and the kitchen for catering and preparation. A formal wedding policy and agreement will be signed and adhered to in order to maintain the rules and regulations of the sanctuary. All guests renting space at Long Pasture will be required to be members of MAS. A onetime wedding rental held on October 111h 2008 was permitted by the town of Barnstable. All i of th e T own's health and safety afety r, a.g...0��aL��'ons� i� n ...d�- �nY f�iC rPl'.�}?�.•1 r�� these site standards are intended to hold into the future. A cover letter describing the event as well as a Site Plan application is on file. I can report that this event.was a success from our perspective in that it met all of our preconditions, rules, and regulations, was well run, and was not an inconvenience to our neighbors. I would like to make clear that from MAS's perspective, wedding rentals are not a commercial undertaking for the benefit of the owner (MAS), but rather a limited fundraising effort with the clear objective to raise money for the conservation work we do. In other words, it is for a public purpose. Ultimately, all of the proceeds Long Pasture realizes from wedding rentals for Mass Audubon members, directly support the conservation, education and advocacy work we do. As I mentioned, MAS is a steward of not only its own property in Barnstable but also other protected lands, both public and private here in town. We continue to work cooperatively with the town and with our neighbors on a variety of matters and look forward to doing so in the future. Please let me know if I can provide any more information for you. I will call you upon my return from vacation on November 511, to schedule a follow up meeting.

However,their ability to present programs is limited by the fact that there is no direct access to the Sanctuary's waterfront. They wish to ameliorate this situation by constructing a seasonal boardwalk.to the edge of the marsh This will provide the ,risitors and students a trail from the Visitor's Center to the water'.s edge, giving them a venue with which they can deliver programs about the diverse ecosystems found in this area: The project as proposed is to construct a removable boardwalk approximately 3' by 108' using pressure treated 4"x4"s as anchors and.Thruflowt interlocking panels as decking. The boardwalk would begin where existing trails end and would have an accompanying 12'x9' removable observation platform approximately midway. Information panels illustrating the surrounding ecosystem will be attached to this seasonal platform, A kayak launch area at the end of the boardwalk should reduce any chance of-salt marsh damage. All decking would be removed by the end of each October and stored at least 100' outside of any resource area encountered. Re- installation would be in March: or April. The support, structure is all that would remain in the off-season. Construction and placement of the deck and support system would be performed by hand, No machinery other than simple construction tools would be introduced into the resource area. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this project. Sincerely, F David D.Flaherty Jr. Down Cape Engineering,Inc. i .I)III 'f ��� �� .£ _.• \ Y Fig 1. Spartina growing through decking Fig 2.

DEFINITION 0' 0 OWNER Person(s)who owns a parcel of land on*which he/she resides intends to reside, on which there is,or is intended to be, a one or two-family dwelling,attached or detached struc s accessory to such use and/or farm structures. A person who constructs more than one home in a two-year p •o hall not be considered a homeowner, Such "homeowner"shall submit to the Building Official on a fo acce table to the Building Official, that he/she shall be responsible for all such work performed under the build permit. Section 109.1.1) The undersigned"homeowner"assumes responsibility r compliance ith the State Building Code and other applicable codes,bylaws,rules and regulations. The undersigned"homeowner"certifies that he/she nderstands the Town Barnstable Building Department minimum inspection procedures and requirements d that he/she will comp with said procedures and requirements. Signature of Homeowner Approval of Building Official Note: Three-family dwellings c ntaining 35,000 cubic feet or larger will be req ed to comply with the State Building Code Section 127.0 Co ction Control. HOMEOWNER'S EXEMPTION The Code states that: "Any homed er performing work for which a building permit is required shall be empt from the provisions of this section(Section 109.1,1-Licensing o construction Supervisors);provided that if the homeowner engages a p on(s)for hire to do such work,that such Homeowner shall act as sor." Many homeowners who use thi exemption aie unaware that they are assuming the responsibilities of a sup •sor(see Appendix Q. Rules&Regulations for Licensing Cons ction Supervisors,Section 2.15) This lack of awareness often results in seriou problems,particularly when the homeowner hires unlicensed ons• In this case,our Board cannot proceed against the unlicensed person as it ould with a licensed Supervisor. The homeowner acting Supervisor is ultimately responsible. To ensure that the ho ea is fully aware of his/her responsibilities,many communities require,as part of the it application, that the homeowner certify that he/he understands the responsibilities of a Supervisor.
