recently amended. Notice of the time and place of the hearing was published in the Haven neighborhood news on 91825. It was also posted in the town clerk office. This meeting is being audio and videotaped. Persons wishing to be heard
will be called in the following order. I'd like to entertain a motion to open the public meeting. So moved. Second. All those in favor? I. Okay. Minutes for approval. Uh first one
we have is October 23rd, 2024. Um I don't know if anyone else looked at them. I looked at them pretty good today. I think the October 23rd uh 2024 is fine. I concur. Okay. I'd like to entertain a motion
that we accept the October 23rd minute. So moved. Second. All those in favor? I. Okay. August 27th, 2025 minutes for approval. Uh once again, I looked at those today. There was a few things that I needed um for Joanne to correct that I
picked up the other day. Joanne corrected them all. Um, I think right now they do look really good. So, with that being said, does anyone else have any comments? No further comment. Yes. No. Okay. I'd like to uh entertain a motion
that we accept the August 27, 2025 minutes. Move. Second. All those in favor? I I Okay. The September 10th, 25 uh 2025. Um, I actually looked over that one today. there was not a lot of the
closings that were mentioned on it. Um I think it needs a lot of work. Uh so with that, I'd like to entertain a motion to table it to a future meeting. Motion to table it to the meeting. Second. All those in favor? I I I Okay. meeting with the letter received
from the law offices of James W. Marsh. Review of matters presented. Votes may be taken. With that being said, I didn't even look at the letter. I didn't look at the email. I am recusing myself. anything with James Bush. Um, has everyone had an opportunity to
see the letter that was Yes. I think it's pretty much standard procedure. Yep. So, that being said, um I guess we'll motion I'll entertain a
motion. That is Let me just have a second just glance through it. Oh, sorry. By all means. [Music] I just uh will entertain a motion that we place this on file regarding
185 road. So moved. All those in favor? I I guys have it. Okay. Um, we're moving to enforcement. Uh, 185
Matapoet Road enforcement order. Vote to ratify. Review of matters presented. Votes may be taken. Um, before we um proceed, I would like
to entertain a motion to resend the prior motion that was on the floor regarding peer review. Motion to resin the prior decision prior the prior um
motion to resend. Okay. Yeah. Second. Second. All those in favor? I I So move. Now we'll move into the uh enforcement order that I have issued against 185
Madapo Road. Uh I need to recuse myself. I just remembered I already recused myself from this. Mhm. Um have you guys had an opportunity to review the uh the enforcement order as
it been uh written? Yeah. Um, in that being said, um, I would like to entertain a motion to ratify the enforcement order. Motion to ratify. Second.
All those in favor? I I the enforcement order stands. We got to close this out. No. Okay. No, I don't think so. Old business. Continue the public
hearing request for an amended order of condition. Applicants in Copper Pot Drive LLC owner White Farm incororated off Pot Drive SE00001-0553. A request for an amendment to an existing order of condition was filed by
St. Prive LLC for property located off Park Drive map 17 lot 22P point3 point. Uh the applicant proposes to install a solar photovolic PV array consisting of 4,999
KW and battery storage project within the 100 foot buffer zone to a bordering vegetated wetland. Revisions include wetland crossing areas and wetland flagging. The applicant is presented by Wesson and Samson Engineers. Plan name is Park Drive solar PV development dated
December 10th, 2020. revised September 16, 2025. With that being said, I'd like to entertain a motion to open the continued public hearing. Motion to open continued public hearing. So moved.
Y All those in favor? I I I. Good evening. I'm Zachary Shing, senior director of developments in Carper Capital. Uh with me I have Graham Dowski who's VP of construction, Sarah Hussein who is the uh associate developer on
this project as Matt Connors with Weston Samson and Jeff Rolloff who's our council and support us with this project. Um previously I believe it was in May we came before you guys uh with improvements uh with the wetland disturbance um with the bridge proposal.
Um and at that time there was requested of us additional information uh survey area of the bridge understanding how that would impact and what those improvements would actually look like and quantifying it. Um since then we've done that. Uh we've created an updated site plan. We've issued a shading memo
and study. Uh we've issued a legal memo addressing our D compliance with the amendment. We've also provided a bridge construction narrative uh refusal memo in the event we hit rock and a wetland impact memo. Um in addition to that, we
also redelineated or reflagged um the line with our surveyors and had the peer reviewed as well. Um so this moment I just like to turn it over to Matt and go over the plans um and additional details uh that were performed in the field to
provide additional context. So these plan the revised plans that was submitted you guys I I won't nobody seen them yet or nobody's read them now or the plans were uh sent to us the other documentation. Yes. Okay. Sounds good. So we seen the first one.
Okay. So this s this is uh sheet B 102 which is the area specifically of the bridge that we had discussed about the hubbing. We went out did detailed survey that included all the trees and large rocks that were in the area. We did not see any outcrops rock outcrops. So but
this sheet here basically identifies all the trees. The dark line here is the wetland line. This is the upper line to the southern uh solar field and this is the crossing which ends up to the central to the northern solar field
sheets C 104 of the planet. What we did is we overlaid um onto the survey that we have the locations of the piles locations of the bridge structure um abutments for both sides. During that process, you
guys had originally seen two bridges. What happens when we get to the upland area for us to get up, back down, and then back up again, it becomes kind of silly. So, what we're proposing is a continuous bridge from one end to the other. The upland area is here in the center.
And the documents that we were providing to you basically detail um this the trees that were being removed, rocks do not seem to be a problem. Um, and there were no bridge out crops. Sorry, there were no blockout crops as we go. So,
we're going from edge of the wetland right about here to the edge of the wetland right about here. The abotments on the outside. The same thing on this side. We're grading up to get to a bridge height roughly between uh four and 6 ft depending on where you are as
you come down. And then on this side, we're grading back down to get back down to grade. Any questions on that? So, you say there's no rocks in that area, but I I did glance at the photos. There are rocks on those. There are rocks. Did you see? And what section is this in on the map?
So, you got a map unit symbol. Um, so this is this is the Whites Road right away. Okay. But where is the section? So, I was just going over all the hydraulic soil groups, and I see that every single one is
extremely uh stony, correct? Uh, mega stones. And so, I was just wondering exactly where this one is. So, if you you have the first That's what I All I did was read that. I pulled that out of it. So, there's a graphic. I don't have the graphic.
The graphic. This is I believe what we just received from you. Yes, that would be. Yeah. So, we haven't had time to review this. I haven't even had time to look at that. The only thing I did see was there are some rocks. There is You can't say there's none. There are some This all goes to peer review. Anyway,
it's it's been sent to peer review, but I was just asking the question where it was. We just sent this to Bill Madden yesterday. So, I didn't say there's no rock. that there's no there's no rock out crop. And as we went through that, I show I took
photos to basically confirm what we were doing. Um the the majority of the bridge is in So all the soil groups that are in that area, they do they are still
Excuse me. I'm sorry. All all the rock groups in that area are stony. We fully agree with that. Okay. Okay. Um and there but there are no soil groups in there that have bedrock. There are no solar groups in there that have
bedrock in the top 60 in. Um did you do borings there? And I'm just asking. We did not do borings. Part of our part of what we need to do is get this approved so that we can clear some trees so we can get equipment back there. and
we can confirm that as we go. More than happy to to make that a condition where as we're clearing stuff, we can we'll confirm that with you as we go. We'll go over. Yeah. Okay. Um so yeah, I without delaying anything. Um
so the the the soil areas that we gave you are fully comprised full all three are all all of this. Okay. Um there's not quite sure where you want me to go
with this. Um so you're is is do you have concerns about rock? You have concerns about concerned about rocks, but like I said, I glanced over roughly what you guys have sent. I know that the commission is actually looking at it now, right? Um so we are going to send it to Bill Madden
review. um go over what we what he thinks what his things is. Um he was actually at the office the other day. I kind of sat down with him for a couple minutes. Um and um that was before you ever mentioned I know that I glanced through it today and you are mentioned about drilling for uh through
obstructions or the pile depth. Um the other thing it's very vague in here on like are you using a wet drill, any of that, but I'll let peer review look at it. It's not me. I'm not going to like try to give my opinion to the um commission on this.
Okay. So, I mean I can touch on that right now and and I think we should wait to hear we hear back from peer review. Um the whole commission will get it this way. We're all on the same page right now. I think I'm just a little bit ahead of these guys just because I was at the office and I was able to glance at it. Um so I
think we should just wait till peer review comes back. Like Eric says we as well. All they're trying to do is get an amendment of the existing order. Right. Correct. Correct. So the so the original proposal we let me finish. Is it a less of an impact? Correct. And can I just touch on that?
Okay. So I make a motion to accept the amendment. You can deny me. Uh I deny. Can I give you some additional comments? I'd like to take a vote on that. Um Eric has made a motion. That's right. There's a motion on the floor. So is there a second? That's
correct. No second. The motion doesn't clear them. Yeah. Okay. Continue. Yeah. I just like to add some additional context on the bridge that we're proposing to install here from what was originally proposed with the gradual uh
gravel access road. With the bridge right now, it looks that there'll be 17 trees removed from what our survey has shown us. Um and to that effect, uh 85 piles will be located in the wetland area. We estimate roughly 170 ft of permanent loss in that wetland. to that
effect. Though, because of the bridge installation, we're basically looking at 4,267 square feet of um disturbance that is no longer going to occur in the wetland. So, we're imp we're drastically improving the conditions than what was
previously approved. Just wanted to make that clear. It's a pretty stark contrast. So, so essentially we were filling it everything was going to be permanent. We were replicating that area in in you're going to do rock sandwich and replication rock in a replication area over here
which you want to stay away from if we can possibly stay away from replication. Correct. There's still a lot still less of an impact. So then my opinion is no grounds to it. What grounds do you hold to not give them the amendment?
I have no specs on the bridge. I have no engineering. Yeah, but that's not that's not that's that's irrelevant from what was No, it isn't, Eric. We just can't tell them, here, go build whatever you want. It's already permitted. They're trying to get the bridge permitted. No, the plans the plans themselves are
permitted. So, if we don't give them their amendment, they can do their original plan. Would we want to make want to send this to peer review? Okay, this is all I'm asking. Would you would it be smarter for the board to
make a less of an impact on the wetlands or let them just go through and mow it over and have to re replicate and do all that stuff? Okay. So, just so you know, I have talked to our peer review. I've been talking with Alex and at this point I'm not willing to go with the amended order.
Okay. That I I understand what you're saying, but what I'm saying is they already have they already have their permit. So, that means they can leave here and just go put this bridge up. Is that what you're saying? They can go and they can they don't need to put a bridge in. They can go with their reg their their first
the one that was first originally approved. They can they can do that. So they're trying to be considerate and do something with less of an impact. Correct. But I'm not just going to say here you have an amended order until we know everything that's going on.
I agree. I guess and the applicant agrees to that. So And the applicant agrees to that. Thank you, Alex. So, and and I just want to for Claire, I just want to make sure you guys have all the answers that you want. We provided you a bunch of stuff. Is there anything else that you possibly would want?
So, I am going to put this to peer review, right? And Bill's going to let us know. I I did, like I said, I did glance. I see that you guys are saying you're going to drill anywhere where the instruction to get the pile to the proper depth. So, the installation crew comes in and they they've done this before. They
bring all the equipment they need that they need to do it. So, they're going to vibrate in wherever they can. Yep. If there's a problem with vibratory, then they have a different head. They swap them out. Then, they put in a drill. Yep. It's all in the same 200 series. The only thing I'd like to know though,
is it a wet drill? Is it a dry drill? What are you doing with the spoils? So, if you're in wetland and you're drilling and everything's just coming up and going all over the wetlands. So, I would think that I would like to know. I don't know if the rest of the commission would like to know, but I think it's something just a little further in detail I would
like to know. You just can't say you're going to drill. That's like saying I'm going to drill into this table and wherever the sawest goes, the sawest goes. So that's why when I did a quick glance at it uh yesterday or today, whatever time I started looking at this, I said, "Well, I think it just needs a little fine tuning." Right. I'm not
saying that it's not going to be accepted. I'm not saying anything no conduct. I I just I just want if you have a question, I just want to be able to answer. Right. Right. And so obviously how we drill if we need to drill is is something that you're interested in. So we'll figure that out. We'll get information to correct. Okay.
You know, and I'm my own personal opinion. I think there should be borings before any pile gets driven just so you kind of know what's there. I know there I do understand that. So maybe that's something we work on. We're going to
give you access to get in here. Maybe give us four borings along the bridge or whatever. But if you hit ledge on your very first borrowing, guess what? You ain't going to be able to put the bridge in anyways, right? Well, definitely go back, right? We don't know. But I mean, if if you want to make it out as an order of conditions
that we do boardings before and we share that with the with the commission. I don't think we have a problem with that. So, let's do this. Let's continue on the path we're at. Let me send Bill Mad got this sent to him. We just received this yesterday. Like I said, you sent it Monday. Joanne was out sick. She didn't
give it to us. So, I think if we send it to Bill and uh you know, Bill can give me his opinion, too. I mean, we're not engineers here. We're just volunteers. We're trying to do the best we can. I know what Eric is saying is correct, right? He had an amended order himself. It was less conditions. We passed it. This is this is a lot more
um than just complicated, right? So, to even though you're saying it's less of an impact, you can cause more damage trying to put the bridge in than what's there. We don't know. still understood. Understood. I just at this point I just want to make sure you guys have everything you need. We recognize that you're going to send
it off for pier. We're we're assuming we'll be back in two weeks at the next meeting or I don't know or maybe a month. You tell us. I mean, I'm willing to go to the ETH. You want to go to the How would it be more of an impact than straight excavating
and moving and excavating the whole thing? We don't know what they're doing there. Yeah. It couldn't get more dramatic than excavating the whole area. Alex, I'm going to ask your opinion. Do you think we're wrong by asking this to go to perview to go over what was said
to us sent to us yesterday or do we just say no, let's go with the amended order? I know there's attorneys involved here and it's like really tough for us to say, okay, what do we do on the litigation side of this? With that being said, do you think there's an issue with us saying, "Put this to peer review.
Let's get back from what Bill Madden says, get his opinion and go from there. No, I think that's appropriate. Okay. With that being said, can I just before you uh continue it? Yep. Go ahead. And we'll request a continuence. Identify yourself.
I'm sorry. Yeah. Jeff Rolloff's council to the Afghan. Yeah. What I would suggest though just to be most productive between now and the next meeting, uh, Bill Madden's going to review this. He's probably going to have questions. If those questions can get communicated to us before the next meeting, we can then be prepared to
answer them either before the meeting, which would be best, so you can see our answers, or at the meeting. Our goal is to get to a vote at the next meeting after you've had a chance for peer review. Some of these issues that might come up, some of the questions you're asking are also pro probably things that
you can deal with through appropriate conditions. So, you know, we want to keep Alex in the loop here. It might be, hey, once you get your equipment out there and you get to a certain point in construction, send us notice so we know to come out. We can take a look, you know, that kind of stuff. And we're totally fine with those
kind of conditions. So, but I'd like to have that communication with Bill now and the next meeting just to keep this process moving. So, this is what I'll do. I know that Julian sent this to Bill M. I'm going to call Bill tomorrow. I'm going to say, "Hey, all the questions, everything else, send me send it to our office. Send it directly to you this
way." Here, it's right there. you get the same time we get it. Um, and then if you guys want to any questions, you can get a hold of us, get a hold of me, whatever, and we'll we'll go with that. Let's work this as a group. Just I just want to make sure everything is going according to what I
think and what even, you know, was by the WPA. That's what we're here for, right? We're fine with that. Yes, we agree. Lessen the impact all the way around. So, I mean, Mr. If I may, I I' I'd like to see um
um Bill notify these guys of when he's available to go out there and maybe have somebody out there on site to walk out there with him. Um maybe answer some questions in the field to try to expedite this process. I think would be
helpful. That that already happened, Mr. Chairman. Uh Brad Holmes went out to the site pretty recently. Can you just step over just a little bit? That's okay. So Brad uh so Doug Brad uh Holmes went out to the site I think a couple weeks ago maybe September. Okay.
Yeah. And he he agreed with all the updated delineations and and saw that they're consistent with the new plan. So I know delineations Brad's good with that. Yep. What they did is they went took out all the flags. Correct. They reflaged it. Brad went out there. I did discuss
talk with Brad. Brad says everything that out there now is good. And it's really nice to be able to see that. So you out there, you only see one set of lines. Um the only thing maybe before the next meeting, can you guys flag where the bridge is going? And I'm not or stake.
I'm not saying a hundred of them, but if you gave us like two, four, six, or even eight flags, I'm willing to do a site visit. I don't know if everyone is, but I'd like to take a site visit, know exactly where the bridge is going, or at least the the the beginning, the middle, and the end of that bridge. I
would like to see as as some type of How safe is it before the 8th? Is that fine? Is that surveyed already or No, there's no stakes on there. The bridge isn't surveyed. I can have somebody go over the GPS. Yeah, we'll do that and look at it. All right. So, we have the width of the
bridge. We have the length of the bridge. We have all that. Correct. We have all the spans. We know what the spans are. Correct. Okay. So, if we could do that and get a quick glance at it and if if you guys want to meet us there, I would love to have that. And um so that's the 87654.
So, what would that be? October 4th. Let me just look. Friday. Let me do this Saturday, right? Um, let me just look here. I'm sorry. Uh, yeah, that would be October 4th. I'm volunteering at a fair. I just want to make sure it's another day.
And if we could do a site visit, just check it out. But now it's, you know, and I know that you got plans, you're showing things, but sometimes it's better to visual see exactly where everything is going. And like Doug was saying, if you give us two ends, we know where it starts, we know where it ends. And you know that the middle is the uplands, correct? Is that what you were
saying? The middle is upland. Y So if you just give a couple stakes in the middle, then we have it. Right. Right. Okay. And then when we sit back down here, we know exactly where that is. What I think it just gives us a little more information. I agree. Okay. All right.
No, not a problem. So, with that being said, um I would like to entertain a motion to continue this to the October 8th meeting. Do I have a second? Second. All those in favor?
All right. Thank you guys. Thank you. Thank you much. Appreciate it. So next we have a continue public hearing NOI Clemway Solar LLC co Rewild Renewables LLC 1094 Main Street Map 7 lot 15
SE000010607 and notice of attempt was filed by Zachary Fox for property located at 1094 Main Street Map 7 15 um The applicant proposes construct of round mounted solar arrays in open fields and forest land. The work
proposes within bordering vegetated wetland uh land under wies and waterways and bordering land subject to flooding as well as the 100 foot buffer zone to a bordering vegetated wetland and bank. The applicant is represented by Sarah Sterns appeals and Thomas Incorporated.

public hearing RDA. Joseph and Megan Barrett, Map 21, Lot 20G, Evergreen Drive. A request for determination was filed by Joseph B and Megan C. Barrett for property located at Evergreen Drive,
map 21, lot 20G. The applicant proposes develop a residential property which including a portion of the site to be performed within the 100t buffer zone of bordering vegetative wetland. The applicant is represented by David M. Deinion of Schneider Deinion alone
incorporated. Uh plan name is S sewer disposal system site plan dated August 12th, 2025. Review of matters presented. Votes may be taken. I'd like to entertain a motion to open the public hearing. Motion to open. Second.
All those in favor? I. Good evening, Mr. Chairman and commission members. For the record, I'm Dave Dickman from Schneiderman Leone. I'm here representing Joseph and Megan Barrett. Um they own property at the end of Evergreen Drive. I believe it's the
last vacant lot in this subdivision that was built probably 20 years ago. They're looking to build a single family home on the property. The uh the site's rather large. Um it is I think it's greater than 8 acres uh 9 9.1 acres. The house
will be tucked uh fairly close to the road uh when given you know the size of the the property primarily because there is a wetland system way to the west of the site. I'm highlighted in green the wetland system um and the the house all of it will be
outside of the buffer zone with the exception of this one little corner of the house. The backyard will be outside of the buffer zone. The driveway is outside of the buffer zone. uh they have to bring in water and electric from Evergreen Drive. All of that work will be outside of the buffer zone. We filed
an RDA simply because um we're doing some minor work uh for grading and clearing relative to the septic system only. And the only reason we're in the buffer zone is this finger-like projection uh that sticks out, which is um when you go out there and look at
it's a clearly an excavated trench extension where they they must have mined gravel out of the site. Um this green line is something what I I I put on this presentation plan. If you were if this figure like rejection wasn't
excavated, that would be your buffer zone and literally we'd be outside of everything. Excuse me a second, David. Could you move it to the other side of the podium? I'm not sure if the the audience is trying to look at it or trying to figure out if you can just spin it a little bit. There we go. Okay.
So, so I connected the dots here and said if that finger-like projection didn't exist, this actually would be your buffer zone. So, we're really working within a buffer zone of this finger-like projection. The leeching area would be greater than 75 ft. This dark green line
represents the 100 foot buffer zone. So, it's primarily for work just in this activity. And as you saw at the site when we put we put the stakes out, went and looked, basically stakes run along an existing woods road. Um, so that kind of breaks up uh the vegetated area.
Plus, there are ton of boulders between that woods road and the finger-like projection. I don't think they'll be going in that direction given the site. It's a heavily ledge site. Ledge everywhere. Boulders everywhere. So, we did walk it. I agree with you
100%. That was an old gravel yard or something. Just the way it especially the way the elevations are so dramatic. It it really drops. It's really a little bit on the crazy side actually. But um with that being said, I think that um
you're you're good to go, you know. Um anyone else? Uh if I may, what what was the total area of disturbance on that? Oh, I have that on the plan. Yeah, we're cognizant of not triggering the uh storm water bylaw. Yeah.
Uh price price. I know it's on here. Mhm. 39,77. And that's the jagged line starting up at the road coming down the property line. All of that, you know, primarily out of the buffer zone.
That's your um And that's your Yeah. The Yep. And we sticking we st the entire limits of clearing as you saw clearly with big orange stakes and they'll stick within it. Anyone else?
No. I I agree. You walk the site, I think. Okay. With that, I'd like to entertain a motion for a negative determination. So moved. Second. Second. All those in favor? I. With that, I'd like to entertain a motion to close this. Motion to close.
Second that. Okay. Next, uh, public hearing, NOI, Mario J. Olivera, Antonio P. Ola, Gams Road, Map 9, lot 16 and 19, SC001-0613. Um, with that being said, Dave, I don't
have Joan Green. Can you please put them on that desk? Okay. Uh, notice of intent was filed by Mario J. Oliver and Antonio P. Oliver for property located at Gams Road, Matt 9, lot 16 and 19. The applicant proposes
develop a residential property which includes the construction of a single family dwelling and associated site work. A portion of the site work will be performed within the 100 foot buffer zone of a bordering vegetated wetland. The applicant is rent represented by David M. Deinion of Schneider Deion and
Leon. Plan name is sewage disposal system site plan Gammon's road dated September 10th 2025. Revised plan was September 11th 2025. Review of matters prevent presented. Votes may be taken. I am not going to entertain a motion to open this public
hearing for I am recusing myself on this property. Thank you. Very good. That being said, um I'd like to entertain a motion to open the public hearing. Motion to open public hearing.
All those in favor? I My name is Dave. Yes, I'm sorry. No, go right ahead. Dave Dickin representing the the Alivera family. Um, this is completely different than the last project, which is why we filed a notice of intent. Um it is a a
very large site nearly 20 acres in size and we are proposing work tucked towards uh Gammon's road um to the very eastmost portion of the property. Um the property as you can see in the locus is it's very large. It keeps going uh towards the the
river and then some the proposed development for the limits of clearing is 39,740 ft. That also includes what is already cleared, which is a a woods road that'll take you from Gammon's road. It'll actually take you all the way uh to the
back of where we're proposing. The limits of clearing are basically on the south side is uh that road. And we're we're showing some opening of some trees just to open up a 20ft uh cleared lane to road. And including that, we're at 30
we're under 40,000. The perk tests were done in the upper northeast quadrant of the project property uh so that we can um what's the highest ground and it does require mounted system because we got 2 minutes per inch perk rates and we're
leaving a clump of trees here between us and the property towards Gammon's road to create uh screening natural screening and we're limiting uh the clearing just to put in the septic. There'll be a force main pipe that that runs up to the leeching field. This is all natural
grade around the backside of of uh the development. The uh limits of clearing was staked in the field as you saw when we went out there. There's a natural we're showing a 25 ft no activity zone along the closest points and that grows uh to greater than what the buffer zone
is to the north side. The south side again is is the Woods Road. Um so we're proposing a single family home which will be within the buffer zone. um some of the driveway to get off the bottleneck to the garage will be in the buffer zone. Uh the pump the septic tank
is literally almost out of the buffer zone. There is a pump chamber here. Um and some of the force main pipe will be in the buffer zone. We will have to install a well. We're showing it just south of the dwelling. Uh water line to the to the house. Uh utilities we brought in with overhead poles until we
get to this point where we'll go underground. Um, and we are showing a grading schematic around the house. Um, it's not quite to be a walkout basement. So, it's going to be in the ground slightly. So, we're filling around.
We do have a D file number. I don't believe there are any comments. And with that, I'd be happy to answer any questions. Anyone from the commission have anything to add to this uh project? You want to look at it? Anyone from the
public that would like to speak? Absolutely. Yes. Where the news? If you if you guys could identify yourselves, would you? I'm Ballerino. Oh, please please just Yeah, just come up and then please. Thank you.
I'm Jen Ballerino. I'm Paul Ballerino. We're at 125 Gamage Road. Thank you, buddy. That's fine. Okay. So So we couldn't really see. Sure. I I know it's a good So, I'll do my best. Yep.
So, up at Ganes Road, you know, the Woods Road is this uh shaded area that brings you into the site. Mhm. This This is the point of the the property line and the markers have been put in there at this location. This location, then there's a wall on this side. We're leaving all the treat area here
and we're putting the septic in this corner where there'll be a mounted septic in the house. The green, the dark green represents the limited clearing that we're proposing. Great. Okay. Any questions? No, this is better.
Yeah. And this is the tree line here on on the easement, the road coming in. Uh yeah. Well, we show we have the dash lines represent the existing woods road. We're showing it just to be straightened out. Y and there, you know, there's a couple clumps of trees that that should
probably come out just get a straight shot in. So, we got the Monty's here. So, there's Yeah, that's you right there. Yeah. Okay. You'll have you'll have the buffer trees that we're trying to leave and treat the screen. Thank you. You're welcome.
Thank you. That's considered a retreat lot, correct? It is a retreat lock. Yes. Once again, is everybody uh satisfied? I'm I'm satisfied. All right. So, I'd like to entertain a
motion to approve the order of conditions. Motion to approve order of conditions. Second favor. I I So have it. Eyes have it. Should close the public hearing. Yeah, I will. Okay.
That being said, I'd like to entertain a motion to close the public hearing. Motion. I'm sorry. I'd like to entertain a motion. Oh, I'll second. All right. All those in favor. I Thank you. Thank you for the time. Thank you.
Thank you. Huh? No. Oh, okay. All right. So, now discussion. Yep. So, uh before we even get into that, I'd like to go with one other thing going on. Um it's other here
on the other business. Um and it's uh something that we can bring up. Um anything not reasonably anticipated and that is Sloum Street. Oh, yeah. Okay. Um, Slogan Street we got a lot of issues with. I went down there the other day. I took pictures. I got
all of uh I got a hold of all the engineers. Um, it was Friday. They don't work on Fridays. The place was a disaster. Um, I don't know if Joanne did send you the pictures through the emails. So, with that being said, I went
down um I got a hold of uh I went call Jamie Kelly cuz I know this is a town project, seeing kind of which direction he wanted me to go. Um he wasn't there. Dave Wa was uh Dave Wa sent me right to Kevin Kelly. Kevin Kelly is I mean not Kevin Kelly, I'm sorry. Kevin Kevin
Gasper is kind of like leading this project. Um Kevin and I spoke. He got right on the phone with the engineers. He really like put his foot down on we have I guess a resident engineer that's supposed to be watching all this work. Um Kevin really stepped right up really
um got them even though the company didn't work on Friday. They were there Friday and they cleaned up the whole entire mess and I went by Friday night. I thought it might not have been done cuz they said they did Friday or Saturday to finish it cuz it was that much work. I went by there Friday night
and it looked really well. So today with all this heavy rain and they're working the street, I did take and go see the project with my 16-month old granddaughter, but we did take a ride down, go take a look at the project, and it was a disaster. Um there was a lot of
sediment inside the river. There was a lot of um the the waddles they have, they did add more waddles, but they didn't stake them down because of the asphalt. So they were floating. Everything was just going underneath. Um everything was coming around the corner of the road. It it was a really
disaster. I was able to talk to Manny. Um uh the foreman, I guess, or superintendent. They said they were going to put a bunch of hay bales out. Um I did call Claire. I think everyone remembers Claire from the uh the one we did the site visit with. I called her
yesterday. Once again, I sent everything to Kevin Gasper. Uh Kevin Gasper jumped on it right away. Um, so the only thing I can say is I think that between any of us that are driving by there, we don't see anything going correctly or things
look out of hand. We have to 100% speak up right away, make sure this stays under control. Um, I will be going by again tomorrow morning. We're supposed to get heavy rains tonight. They were supposed to put all kinds of hay bills and stop this. Um, I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt that they
are trying. Um, but you know, it's not about trying, it's about doing it correctly. So, I am going to go by there tomorrow. Um, they are working tomorrow. So, um, with that being said, let's see what happens. But if anybody sees anything, please reach out immediately.
If you can't get a hold of me, you can get a hold of Kevin Gaspa, Jamie Kelly, um, Dave Wa, get a hold of anyone. This is a town project. Doesn't matter. They have to do it correctly. There should be no sentiment in that river. Period. So, so when I came by tonight, the road
was actually closed. I don't know if they're continuing the paving, but they began to pave the roadway today. Correct. So, with this heavy rain coming tomorrow, we could probably anticipate more of an issue over there. Like I said, I will take a ride by first
thing in the morning um and just see what I can do, right? Um what happened? They just dropped the ball. Um, so they were using sediment bags to put the pumps in. Of course, the sediment bag blew out. So then they instead of even cleaning up that mass, they just added another bag. But then
when you get all the rain, the water, everything going, all the sediment, the whole parking lot was full. Um, all the subfence was down. Well, most of the subfence on the lefth hand corner was down. It looked like um the waddles were just crushed in that corner to let the water relieve quicker. I'm not saying
that they did that, but that's what it kind of looked like for me. Um, just so everyone did do know, I did go down there with a cease and desist on my truck. Um, after talking to um, everyone throughout the town, um, we figured we get it cleaned up and let's see what
happens with that. But like I said once again, I went there again today. It was ugly again today. I'm going to go there again tomorrow morning. Um, I'm actually probably going to reach out to Kevin Gasper to take a ride with me so he sees it instead of just phone calls if it looks like anything. Um, and um, I think
we have to hold them, no matter if it's town project or not, 100% liable for what they're doing. Right. So, it's their responsibility. It's their burden. It's their job. Right. They're making money off the town. Well, do it right. So, that's the only thing that I wanted
to discuss about Sloum Street. And once again, if anybody sees anything, I don't care. Make a phone call, get a hold of anybody. And how this all started, just so everyone knows, is I went in the office and there was a big p picture of that bag that blew out. And then the
second bag behind it was a very letter and it was a very well-written letter by the EPA. The EPA was in the neighborhood. They drove by to look at the site while they were here and they sent me a letter or the commission a letter saying, you know, we don't want
this to blow up out of proportion, but it is not right. So now it's like now we have everybody's eyes on it. Eyes on it. Yep. And um it's not something we're going to drop the ball. This I will inspect it every single day if I have to. Um I'd appreciate anybody help and
driving by. You see something, please call me, call Christian, call Kevin Gaspar, call Jamie Kelly, call anybody. Right. I actually gave um Christian CLA's number. So, she was a direct um and she actually took and was calling
the engineers on the project. So, hopefully this is just over. Um and everything goes on correctly. Um has anyone else got anything else? Uh agent updates. So, I was there talking with Sydney today regarding an agent. They
have four um applications in right now. They did stop the posting for more applications. I believe they stopped at it Friday, I believe she said, but I'm not 100% sure, but I believe they stopped the posting on Friday. Um, they are going to be looking probably next
week to start doing interviews. Um, Christian and I are going to try to be there. Um, even though we can't, um, give any influence or anything. I guess we just get to sit there and watch and see what, you know, what feel get a feeler out. Um, hopefully they taking
callers after the meeting maybe or maybe they're not. I really don't know. they meet with. What's that? Who they going to meet with? They got a hiring board. So, there's four applicants for the agent. So, the hiring board's going to go through the application, go through them, meet them, and I suggest I asked
if I could be there. And then I mentioned to Christian, Christian says, "Yeah, if he's available, he'd like to be there." But we can't put in input, but it doesn't matter if we can be there and maybe after the interviews, give our opinions or whatever. I I think it's important that somebody's there.
so far. So, that being said, um Jimmy, the only thing I don't agree with is the stopping of the process of the advertisement for this position. I think we should continue to advertise this position until we actually fulfill it. Well, it's
only four applicants. Yes, we may get lucky and actually appoint somebody. So, I know in the four applicants, one is highly highly recommended. Um, it's kind of green, but I highly
recommend it. There is another applicant that from what I was told is there already there. Very the application looks very good. So, I think we'll fill out fill out these four for them to put it back up. It's can only be the next week. So, if we interview these four,
put it back up next week if they don't fly. Um, I think that, you know, we have to go with what the hiring board wants to do. I'm sure they don't want to have 20 applicants in front of them, right? So if you go maybe four at a time, um it kind of really you really get to feel
out those four and saying, "Okay, now we got five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, right?" And they might get pushed, well, let's see if the next one's better. Let's see if the next one's better. Right? You might push yourself right out of it. So I think that the four that we have is um a good way to start and um let's go
from there and hopefully this is next week. Okay. Okay. Anyone else? Anything else? All right. With that, I'd like to entertain a motion to adjourn the meeting. So moved. Second.
All those in favor? I [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat.
