and the system will be raised about 12 to 16 in above grade. Uh closest work is about 65 ft away. Uh the system will be 70 ft away. Um it's a pretty standard system with heavy duty tanks to prevent leaking and floating. It's just a stole in each field. Happy to answer any
questions. >> So, um I'll let the commission go first. Anyone got anything? >> This was pretty cut and dry. >> I I didn't see any issues. The only thing I do want to know is did you talk to the owner? >> I did. I talked to uh Logan. He's home

conditions that we all uh put in. Um erosion control inspection on-site meeting with contractor within 5 days prior to construction. No stockpiling of materials, no equipment store, no refueling, no portable toilets. All wash out from concrete in the buffer zone. I'm not going to go with the certificate
of compliance. We do have another one special condition. I'm not going to go with it cuz they were already living there. So that makes this one NA. Um, so you got all the standards. You got the special one that I just read out to you. With that being said, I'd like to entertain a motion that we accept the
order of conditions. >> Motion to accept the conditions. So, second. >> All those in favor? >> There you go, young man. >> Thank you very much. >> You're welcome. >> Have a great night. >> And thanks again for talking to Logan for us, too. I really appreciate that.
>> Yeah. I'll make sure when we have the erosion bar, all that stuff's picked up for. >> Beautiful. Have a good evening. >> You too. >> That Yeah, send it to me. >> Okay. Now, >> can you close that, please? >> Oh, I'd like to entertain a motion that we close the public motion to close the
public hearing on this. All those in favor? I I >> Thank you, Joanne. >> Thank you, Joan. >> That was very sweet of you, young lady. >> Backwards, though. >> You're supposed to close it then. Thank you. >> Sorry about that. >> Keep in mind, Jo, keep me in line.
>> Get Julie to keep you in line. >> I got to get you ahead of himself. >> I got to get you a yard stick. >> That's how my father told me. >> One underneath the table. >> I don't know. Come right out when you open >> the belt. >> Yep. New business. Uh any new business
storm water discussion? Okay, let's start right out with Deep Brook State Homeowners Association re association review and acceptance review of matters presented. Votes may be taken. Um I see the agent got some notes
here. Commission was sent to the docu uh commission was sent the document last week. Um I hope you guys had a chance to maybe glance at it. It was on the uh thing. >> Yeah. In the email. >> Um just so you saw how it worked. We got it from Joe Castello. Of course, we
don't know all the right wording. We sent it out to town council. And am I correct by saying Julia that town council sent it back to us with a thumb up or did they have a couple little words they had to change? >> Well, actually, they sent it back to us and it was weird. It had words that it
had to change right away. Me and Joanne saw it on the document, but then we clicked on it again and it looked fine. So, I think that's the final version. It I don't know if it was like a mess up with the computer or not, but I think that was the final version that was sent to the commission correctly. So,
>> so beautiful. So, now we're all set with that. Um, we don't need votes on this. >> Just to votes to accept it. >> Oh, okay. We did last time. Okay. With that being said, I'd like to entertain a motion that we accept the homeowners association.
>> Motion to accept the homeowners association. >> Second. All those in favor >> I thank you. Um this next one I'm going to step up people. Good. >> 183 185 non poisoned road update. Review
of matters presented. Votes may be taken. Um this has been an ongoing situation. The cease and desist. Um has there been any updates as
>> it? So, their attorney sent um a request for an amended uh what was it? Order of conditions. >> Um so, we have to send that to you guys, but they still have to do the like fee to get it officially uh because they just sent like the request for it. They
didn't send us the fee yet, so it's not like fully official. So once they do that, we'll send it out and then hopefully that will be on our next agenda or the following depending on the the timing of if we can get it on the next agenda. So that will be coming up.
I also spoke with the resident of 185 um Madoo Road today and he gave me full permission to go on his property to do a site visit. So um I'll be back in contact with him to plan because he said full permission as long as he's there. So I'll be able to do a site visit. um
either well probably not this week cuz I won't be here tomorrow, but probably next week I'll be able to go on and and do that site visit. He also said he would check in with his attorney to see if the commission can come as well to a site visit. So that'll be uh all
>> I would I would think at least one other member would would be >> and again I'm I'm going to air this out once again >> regardless I believe we have the right to go on the property because of the standing violations that are still
before us that still haven't been resolved that gives us the right to go onto that property and I understand there are attorneys involved but we as commission have that right? Again, let's check with
the circuit writer. I believe I I discussed this the last time we had it get together that that's understandable. I mean, in the event of emergency, we we clearly have the right. But in this situation, if we can be done cordially, as it
appears we will be able to do, >> I think it's it's all better. And hopefully um going forward we can we can visit the site at least get a couple of sets of eyes on it and and go from there.
>> Yeah. And um so I think >> menu for you know >> Yeah. I think we'll if we even if we do the site visit with the commission, I'll probably do a site visit by myself as well just so I can we can actually discuss the property because I've never
seen it before and um obviously we can't discuss all together. So >> I think it makes sense too to do a separate one as well. >> Okay. >> Just to learn about it. So yeah, that's the update with that. So that'll be um hopefully on the next agenda.
>> Sure. >> Okay. Being said, I will um revert back to the gym. Thank you. Okay. All right. The conservation commission
letters of interest. Um Chuck and I actually watched the selectman meeting. They brought it up. Uh we have 30 days to get um letters in if we're still interested in going uh or being on the board. Um they are opening it up to the
public uh also. So um I'm going to tell you guys, I think we have a really good group. Um I think we work very well together. I would like to try to continue this. Just so everyone knows, I did drop my letter off today, letter of interest, right to the town hall to Margaret. Um and I hope you guys follow
him. So you're saying you want to keep the band together. Let's keep the band together. >> So, with that being said, I think we all know what is the right thing and or you know, if you've not gone, please let me know and let's try to find someone else
because it is open to the public. All right, agent updates. All right, so we got six elderberry drive letter sent regarding trash cleanup reviews presented. Vote can be taken. Young lady, go right ahead. So, I sent the, as we discussed on the last
meeting, I was going to send a letter to the residents of Six Elderberry Drive. So, I did that on um March 27th. The letter basically just stated uh for them to start this cleanup within the next 30 days and contact me with um an email
with pictures of the cleanup. Um I haven't heard back from them yet, but I did send that certified mail on uh March 27th, so hopefully we'll hear something soon. >> And you you receive receipt of that um mailing? >> No. >> Okay.
>> Signature required. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> The other thing is I mean you might have to take one day swing by and knock on the door and >> stop following that way. I mean some people do not get their certified letters. >> They see a certified letter in the box. >> Usually they're pretty prompt on a on a
signature required. certainly can't force you to get ours within a matter of a day or two. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> So, all right. So, next we have 324 Main
Street update review of matters presented. Votes may be taken. Julia. >> So, I sent a letter uh to the residents at 324 Main Street on April 1st. Um, basically the letter just stated they have not done any work to fulfill their agreement with the commission and
therefore the commission may want to issue an actual enforcement order. Um, and the the letter stated to reach out to me as soon as possible um for an update on this. I left them my email, my phone number, my office hours. I haven't heard anything back from them yet, but
that was sent on April 1st. >> And that's Mr. R, right? >> Yeah. >> Sorry, Jim. Go ahead. Um, so Julia and I did get together. Um, we got a bunch of list of all the people we're trying to like figure out what's going on here. Um, one thing I just want to say about
Mr. Romans, we went there and did a gentleman enforcement on it is what we did, right? We had a gentleman agreement. Um, we tried to point them in the right direction. Well, um, having a gentleman in agreement and then they do absolutely nothing. It's been quite a
while now um, with that. They do not have a written enforcement order. Um so >> and um I will say I did reach out to town council on this one and they suggested we do a written enforcement order. >> So >> so with that being said um at the next
meeting we can have her have the enforcement. We can all sign it. We can get it all done in one evening. So I think that's right. >> So what I'm going to do is I am going to entertain a motion for 324 Main Street to get a an enforcement order from the
commission. >> So moved second. >> All those in favor? >> I I >> when when do you want that? >> Next meeting. >> Next meeting. >> You want it >> well >> you want it right. Needs to be prepared prior. You want only to have her
prepared? >> Yeah. Have it at the next meeting so we can get it signed out. >> Signed up. Yes. Right. It's got to be ready and get it ready. >> All right. Julia took in um the past few days, she's been getting a lot of phone calls, a lot of stuff that's not on the
regular agendas. But since they are agent updates, we're going to let her just read off what she's been doing, kind of give us the ballpark. For now on, it will be put right on the agendas. We had that discussion today. Um, but it just if you look at the if you saw her notes, you're going to see a lot of this
just came in real quick and um, she didn't want to push it back to a bunch of meetings. So, she is bringing it tonight and like I said, for now on it will be put on the agenda so everyone can see it. With that being said, go right ahead. >> Yep. So, one um, other update I have
this is for 35 Pathway Road. Um, so the last time I sent an email letting them know they had 30 days to file an NOI. And then last meeting we discussed as long as they had a contract from an engineer within the next 30 days uh that
that would be acceptable. And so I did just want to update you guys uh and let you know that I've been in contact with the resident and on April 4th they reached out to me and let me know that they have been in touch with an engineer and that they would be providing them with documentation that coming week. So they are in touch with an engineer. They
are getting things done. Um so I wanted to update you guys. >> Um and then next if you guys see I gave you all a little packet with photos. So um a resident at 659 Main Street came into the office um about
I think it was sometime last week um and he had a complaint that his yard was being flooded out by his neighbors. So, I went and did a site visit on um April 3rd to check the issue out. These are some of the pictures he sent me of flooding in his yard. Um and so I just
wanted to bring this up with the um commission and see what can be done about this if everyone wants to do a site visit out there um and and kind of see what's going on. But basically, his neighbor's yard is like pitched towards his and with the last rainstorm and the
snowstorm, he's got water in his basement. So, I didn't want to just let this uh complaint slide under the rug. >> So, with um the gentleman that owns the property, uh Mike, he came into the office probably couple months ago. Um I
was in the office that day. He came in, wanted to discuss it. Uh, I don't think the house was even built yet, but he said the way they're going to build it, it's going to end up flooding me out. I said, "Well, there really ain't much we can do by it might happen." So, unfortunately, it is happening. Um,
which now that would there's no wetlands on the property. Julie and I looked at all that there was zero wetlands. So, that means it's going to be a storm water issue. Um, now that we have a storm water agent, she can um start looking into this. We are going to probably put it on a site visit and
we'll move forward in the direction that we have to. >> Julia, did you uh look at this yourself as of yet? Have you had a chance to look at this uh physically? >> Yes, I was there uh last Friday the 3rd, and I saw how it wasn't raining that
day, of course, so I couldn't see the water physically there, but you could see how it was pitched. He showed me where it was running off and how it was going into his his uh basement and everything. >> That's on the west side of Maine, right? Yeah.
>> So, we'll follow that up through a storm water. Um Julia will get it put on a site visit. We'll do a site visit on that one. Um and then we'll figure out what the next steps are from there. >> All right. All right. Just two more things, guys. So, one was for 540 um our
main street. I know we talked about that, but um I did reach out to Brad Holmes to do the see if he wanted to do the delineation and he did let me know that he uh works with the company. I think it's Atlantic uh something and so it's kind of a conflict of interest for
him. So he does not want to do it. He did give me a contact um Mark Man Janello at le Environmental. So, I just wanted to bring that forward to the commission before I reach out to Mark um and see if that's something I should do.
>> Um, we definitely told him that we wanted to pay review Brad Holmes. We we really like Matt uh Brad. We work very well with him. If he's suggesting somebody, I bet you he's really good. Also, um if you want, I can put that to him vote. So, I'm going to say let's uh
entertain a motion for Julia to reach out to Mark Manello um at LEAC Environmental to Peer Review at 540 R Main Street. So, move. >> Yeah. Second. I'll second that. >> All those in favor? >> You're all set with that, kiddo.
>> All right. And then lastly, I just wanted to mention that um me and Jim, we did have an interview with the Sincara clerks. um they had us interview with two of them. One Jim was there, one it was just me, but we did approve both of
them. So, they're going to um be hiring two clerks now instead of just one. That was their idea just so someone's always in the field. Um and so we did approve it was Macy and Patty were the two candidates and we approved them. They seemed uh like they they knew what they
were doing and they have a lot of experience in this. So, the clerk is it's going well. And the other thing is just to let you guys know that those two clerks have worked with um conservation. >> No, worked with the engineer company.
So, not fulltime, but they've worked for them. So, they're familiar with them. Um I kind of like really told them what we were looking for and um Julia did the same on the interview that I couldn't make it. So, I think we're going to be in good shape, especially their hiring, too. I think it's really uh really
showing good. You know, that does show. >> It really does. >> My eye. >> Yeah, it does. Mine, too. >> I mean, >> hey, and um I think it'll be in good shape. >> Didn't ask for that, but that's all. >> Yep. Um I know that um once it kicks off, I know I want to be there.
>> So, >> all right. Uh other businesses, any other business that may properly come before the commission not reasonably anticipated when posting 48 hours prior to the meeting. Future business. The next meeting of the conservation commission will be held on April 22nd,
2026. Meeting will be held at the police station conference room located at 64 middle road to cushion and mass. Before I uh >> put this I'm going um before I do take and say let's adjourn this meeting. I see Mr. Castello's here. Mr. Castello,
what can we do for our young man? Well, on the agenda for the for the woman's trust, I believe that you supposed to discuss the woman trust. Who approved the woman's trust? >> We did. >> Yeah, it's complete. It's already been approved. >> We did that already. >> I thought it was all right. It must have
been late. >> Yeah. 6:00. >> Well, I think so many things ahead of me. I figured it would be late. So, I'm sorry. >> Hey, it's always good seeing you, Joe, so it don't matter, >> right? But no, Joe and all got voted. Um, everything's going to go through. Just have one question. On the on
article two, you referring to a permit, a permit, a storm water permit, which I never received. Where's the where's the permit? Where's the date of that permit? >> Okay. So, I'll have Julia look into this. What? >> Because I have a permit two years three years ago. I never get the permit. >> I know. Um I know that it got voted for
you to get it. Um so, we'll have Julia look into that. Even if we got to take have a red one up, we'll all sign it and get it over to you. That'll be our job to get it to you. >> I appreciate that. >> No problem. >> Now, if I can ask one question about another matter, I know I'm not on the
agenda, but >> are you getting crazy on this now? >> What do you mean, buddy? >> Uh, on lot 13, the art of condition is very confusing. It tells me about put a a wire fence and a silk fence. And I don't understand the need for the two.
Whether you're going to put a wire fence, a sil fence with wire, or a silk fence. Why the two? >> That's for the driveway area. >> Yeah. So, that was your engineer. Um, and even though it's not on the agenda, I'll go real quick on this. Um, it's something you should talk to your
engineer about. >> I did I did spoke to he asked me to to to call the office and set up an appointment for the walkthrough and have a clarification. He said that's a little confusing. >> So, he um he he suggested this um better
enforced uh silk fence is what he did, >> right? You know, the longevity >> longevity near air crossing it and especially the conditions >> because because the way it borders the weapons, >> right? Like >> here's the thing, Joe. I can't vote on it tonight. We really shouldn't be discussing this tonight.
>> Um, have Jamie reach out to us. We'll talk to him and if we have to, we'll bring it back to >> I just feel the way it's written is it's it's doesn't make sense. How can you have two fences next to each other? Either way, >> I thought it's one fence from what Jamie was saying, didn't we? It's a one
reinforced fence. >> Yes. But the order condition says otherwise. Sir, >> I'll look at it. We'll look at it. But we'll have to put it at the next meeting. We'll figure it out. Okay. All right. That's all we're going to look at. Do I have to call put agenda? >> If you want to discuss it, you can call
me and >> No, discuss. I just want to make sure that's it's in the agenda for the next >> Yeah, we'll make a note of it and we'll make sure it's on there. Yep. >> Thank you very much. >> You're welcome, Joe. >> Have a good night. >> You too. Okay. Now, with that being said, I'd like to entertain a motion
that we adjourn the meeting. Motion to adjourn this meeting. >> All those in favor? I
