some sizable trees to be planted as replacement. Jamie Rheault noted he would take 2.5 feet off to bring the wall back
to the original height/elevation. CL examined the plans used in the original approval and utilized contours. He felt it
may need to be lower. Mr. Rheault stated the blocks in place are 16 inches and that removing 2 blocks would bring it 2
inches lower that the existing wall. After some discussion the commission decided to remove the 2 blocks the
terminus of the wall will also be staked so the grades can be matched and will mulch the area until such time as the
landscape architect will design a planting plan and file a notice of intent. He should have a notice of intent and the
blocks removed by the beginning of September. CL moved to fine the contractor Eric Cipooma, subject to verification
by Town Counsel for 300 dollars per violation for three violations as determined by MM, or $900 total. - TD seconded
and the commission voted 5-1 with Mr. Pease voting against the motion. Mr. Rheault commented that if we were going
