Phragmites trimming request.
SCTM# 1000-127-6-8
I have reviewed this phragmites trimming proposal, have visited the site, and offer the
following comments and suggestions.
Whether intemional or not, the site has a relatively undisturbed buffer area running from
a sparsely turfed backyard down to Brushes Creek. This buffer has a dense growth of
invading phragmites. Based upon its appearance, it seems like this backyard is not being
over-;vatered and fertilized. Instead the phragmites appears to be thriving on the runoff
provided by the obviously fertilized neighboring lawn (to the east). That property has no
native buffer, the lawn running almost to waters edge expect for the phragmites
monoculture found there. I would definitely not recommend that the phragmites be cut on
that property. However, on the subject property the phragmites it is not a monoculture;
there are many native species competing with it. [ would not be opposed to the
selective trimming of the phragmites, (and the phragmites only), within this area so that
these natives could have a better chance of reestablishment.

Dear sir:

Laurel, NY
Section 127 - Block 6 - Lot 8
I am enclosing herewith copy of Violation I have just
received which states that trees were cut down within
100 feet of the wetlands.
Please note I called a man in to prune some of the
brush down. There were not trees but most of it was
weeds and brush. The man I hired should have told me
a permit was needed.
I will definitely let ~he a~ea grow back naturally.
I want you to be aware that trees were never planted
there - there was just things there that grew naturally.
I have been the owner of this property for over 40 years.
Also, please note I mailed you a $40.00 check for permission
to cut down the aphrimites. Ha any decision been reached
regarding this?
Please let me know your decisions.
Very truly yours,
