• 4 ) The mounds are presently covered with trees and one has a root cellar dug into it. With the permission of the Historical Society, we will remove the trees, plant a natural ground cover and fill in the root cellar . This apparently provides for better preser- vation than trees or lawn on the mounds . 5 ) The Okisting driveway across the southern contour of the northern mound will be removed and the land re-contoured. B) LAKEFRONT 1 ) With CSM approval , the conservation easement will prevent the building of a boathouse( s ) . 2 ) With CSM approval the two dwellings on the lake will be demolished. The new homes will be greater than 75 feet from the lake secondary to the floodplain and mounds . The lakefront will look less developed than it does in its present state . C) PROTECTING THE WOODS 1 ) CSM approval will place approximately 5 acres of land into conservancy protecting it from future attempts at development. 2 ) We have contacted Mary Hughston of Nature Conservancy in regard to a conservation easement of this 5 acres for further protection. We are awaiting her reply. Other conservation agencies will be considered, but not promised should the Nature Conservancy have no interest in our proposal . 3 ) CSM approval will result in the demolition of all of the 8-10 existing buildings which are in various states of disrepair . Only the 3 new homes would remain on the property. All abandoned vehicles and old fences will also be removed. 4 ) The homes ( Lot #1 , 2 , 3 ) were purposely placed on the north end of the property where the land is presently cleared and occupied by four inhabited dwellings . This allows the undisturbed southern end to remain undisturbed. 5 ) A lawn restriction will protect the woodsy nature of the land. 6 ) A strict internal fence restriction will allow only for enclosing small areas so that new fence lines will not visually divide the land.
