Project No. 24-001
Dear Commission Members:
Enclosed please find nine (9) copies of Form E Extension Permit Request for Order of Conditions
SE3-5893 submitted on behalf of the Wianno Club under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection
Act and the Town of Barnstable Wetlands Protection Bylaw for the above referenced property.
This filing comprises:
•This cover letter;
•Form E, Extension Request Form; and a
•Check in the amount of $125.00.00 as filing fee.
The Wianno Club conducted the work described in the Order of Conditions in the winter of
2021/2022 and installed the required plantings in spring of 2022. The installation of the intake
structure in Parker Pond was completed per plan, however the mitigation plantings were
installed over a larger area than was proposed in the approved plans.
The area in which the plantings were installed is not irrigated and there was a significant
drought in the summer and early fall of 2022, during the period when they were becoming
established. Based on our review in May 2024 some plants are thriving and some others may
need replacing (see photos below). The button bush is alive, but not doing particularly well.
Rather than replacing these three individuals with button bush, which prefers more water, we
request that the Commission allow the planting of huckleberry (2 gallon) as a replacement.
