<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">There was timely story in the Sunday Globe recently (2/18/22) from our pal Bill Nemser's neighbourhood about the native pollinator species. <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.bostonglobe.com/2022/02/18/metro/maynards-pollinator-meadow-puts-native-species-first/__;!!CUhgQOZqV7M!2RKu23D8Xy2R-WtYLl7j3oKkxIuZuHvMVg9gb5cM1MaV4ecx9vla30o9RekZM5soI3UxB7s0$" target="_blank">https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/02/18/metro/maynards-pollinator-meadow-puts-native-species-first/</a>
I have been calling for the use of pollinator species for commercial landscapes but without a particularly good resource to reference. Most recently here in Carver for a small area for adding a second McDonalds drive thru and a larger scale project for the
expansion of Jellystone Campground. Who knew there would be so many icons in Carver that had big footprints (clown shoes) and food deserts (stolen pic-a nic baskets). I advocated for pollinator species for the expansion of the 100+ acre solar overlay district
in Falmouth for a petitioned article to include the Cape Cod Country Club as a previously disturbed site. The proponents wanted to clear more than the two acre maximum tree cover and Town Meeting approved the expanded district and the zoning change to allow
more clearing with a 2:1 mitigation of planting for the areas cleared.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

want to contact him <a href="mailto:rgegear@umassd.edu">rgegear@umassd.edu</a> He had mentioned a few nurseries including Sylvan Nursey in Westport and Blue Stem Natives in Norwell along with Native Trust Plants, Wing and a Prayer, and Bigelow Nurseries
that supply some of the plants on his list. I will be reaching out to my contact at Mahoney's Garden Center in Falmouth and at the Agway in Plymouth to ask about expanding their inventories with some of the listed cultivars. There are still lots of towns in
the Commonwealth with nurseries large and small that you might ask the same. For the record the "Agway" has been Morrison's for more that a decade but, as an adopted New Englander, I prefer the local method of referring to business as they were named back

with the individual neighbors on the installation of screening plants ie arborvitae. With the neighbors at their window/door/deck looking toward the site the contractor shifted the plants (right/left) to maximize their screening. People who live in the area

Shady Acres an existing campground. There are no confirmed reports of Eminem ever pitching a tent or anything else in Carver. And while few would conflate "pic-a-nic baskets" with glamping the project will have a package WWTP permitted through DEP and a
water park feature for campers. It's early days for those permits but it is a permitted Special Permit use in Carver.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

as I believe they had one open this year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="ydp3cf9c4e2yiv8272656412ydpfb9d548eyiv9038774236msonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Dennis Cottage Colonies started mostly as trailer campgrounds during the depression. Eventually, in the 40’s they turned to tents. The tents became more extravagant after WWII with wood frames and army tents connected to them, some with multiple “rooms”. Eventually
the canvas got replaced with boards, and the cottage colonies has arrived.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="ydp3cf9c4e2yiv8272656412ydpfb9d548eyiv9038774236msonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A">You might say that, with modern building codes this cannot happen today. Wrong, during the early 2000’s we had
an enforcement action against one of our RV Campgrounds. They started with building, without permits, wood deck attachments. These decks become enclosed wood rooms complete with electricity. Then, as some of the RV’s had become immovable objects (tire rot
etc as they never moved) the roofs started to leak and the RV owners built structures around the RV, complete with exhaust pipe extensions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="ydp3cf9c4e2yiv8272656412ydpfb9d548eyiv9038774236msonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="ydp3cf9c4e2yiv8272656412ydpfb9d548eyiv9038774236msonormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#26282A">As glamping seems to involve structures, at least for the platforms, and often frames that canvas is attached
to, you should ensure that their approval includes annual inspections by the Building, Health, Fire and other Code Enforcement entities to ensure that the sites do not change over time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

50% of generated income, so you may need to set other limits if you do consider it to be accessory to an agricultural use. My two cents.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
