they did have it really looking neat. They had a lot of silk fence up, a lot of waddles. Everything really did look clean.

turf field. Uh this is the wetland line and you can see the majority of it falls within the 100 foot buffer to that wetland. Um there's no uh proposed increase in impervious area on site. Um
it's just basically conversion from grass to turf with a sand underneath it. Um we're proposing siltation control. Um we're proposing it to clean up and put some uh stone at an out of existing
pipe that drains the existing >> parking area. And um one thing I understand from the sitewalk was that >> there was disposing of grass clippings and other things and wetlands and the school is aware that that they'll be
removing that and finding another place to dispose of grass clippings on the landscape things. >> Yeah. >> Be happy to answer any questions. >> So, it's just real quick as far as the grass clippings. Yeah. >> Um as long as you don't have a landscaping service go in there, you

Um I know that um if you don't mind, I know that when we went through the site visit, there was also a proposed fence
going up. Is that correct? >> Uh yeah, there's a fence proposed around the perimeter of the U which it hasn't been included on the plan at this point, but we can follow up with that. >> Okay. Well, it just makes I I kind of like the idea of fence. It might stop some of the stuff from blowing in there, too. I'm sure there's wind networks
around there. >> Y >> um anyone else? >> Yes, Mr. If I while we were out there on that site visit, it wasn't just the grass clippings. It was the debris that was in that that area where it shouldn't
be. It's trash, plastic, etc. Basketball net that's located down in there. All of that needs to be pulled out. The the grass is is compostable, >> right? Um that wasn't a huge amount for us. It was the the the garbage that we
were actually of weed sitting down in there. So, we would like that area cleaned out as much as possible and and not to dispose of of any of that material back there. >> The leaves, the branches, the grass clippings in the trash and the
basketball net. It all needs to be cleaned up is what we're asking as commission. >> Anyone else? >> Interesting. I just if I might >> um the con construction or or
deconstruction of the existing is is that slated to just all be uh scraped out? Is that how that process works? Yeah. >> To what extent? >> I'm just >> um well the cross I'm not sure that the depth of the cross section but >> um the existing turf has to come the
existing grass has to come out as well as an additional depth to um >> so we can put the sand better under the turf. >> I can't tell you off hand what that depth would be, but >> it's more than just scraping off. >> No, I just Yeah. What the extent of it
was >> anyone from the public be adding this. >> Okay. So, um is this a speak in favor? >> Excuse me. I'm sorry. >> For speaking in favor of the project. >> Uh either way, either way. Come up to the podium mention your name.
Hi, I'm Michael Boxstein. Uh, I am a member of the school board at St. Francis and I'm a member of the parish of St. Francis and I'm here in support of the project along with our principal that's here this evening and our chairman of the board the school board
are here this evening and this is a large effort um monetarily for the school to raise funds to to build this and for the kids to have a safe and play safe area to play um and it will be a benefit to everybody in the community.
So, we we look forward to hopefully you can approve this for us and we uh I will tell you on behalf of the board that we will be cleaning up >> uh the debris, the the the the trash and I'll personally get out there and I'll take a look at that and make sure we get that all cleaned up immediately.
>> Greatly appreciated. >> Thank you. With that being said, um I'd let you know that I will donate my time and my trailer if you need it and I will take a load to the town dump for you. >> That'd be very that'd be wonderful. You can get you can get a hold of me through Julia. Um get my number directly and
don't be afraid to give me a call. Um and I'm sure we can work out somewhere. I can give you a little bit of time with my truck and trailer and I'll run it right to the town. >> We appreciate all the donations. I work for field engineering, but I'm also on the school events committee at St. Francis. My daughter's been there since
she was three years old, so I'm a huge advocate for the school. So, thank you. We appreciate any help. >> Thank you. You're welcome. Um, with that being said, um, you know, there's the SC standard conditions on the NOI. There is one requirement we're going to ask that
beyond the standard is that, um, once the Sil fence goes in, you have 5 days to get a hold of us before any work starts and we go look at the easiest way to do it, there's a 10-day appeal period. >> Yeah. >> Right. The easiest way to do it is you get the Silk Fence in within those 10
days. We go look at it, then you can start work on the 11th day, >> right? It just makes it easier and everything runs smoothly. You don't have to wait the 10 days to put this whole fence in. Okay. With that being said, I'd like to entertain a motion that the order of conditions be accepted.
>> I'll make a motion to accept. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I. Thank you very much. >> Thank you so much. >> Good luck. >> Thank you. >> Um I'd like to entertain a motion that we close the public hearing. >> So move second.
>> All those in favor? Okay. Storm water continued public hearing storm water permit Frank and Karen Knox Mendle Road and Perry Hill Road maps 9 lots 24A and 188. A stormwater permit application was filed by Frank and Karen Knox Mundle Road
Realy Trust for property located at Mendel Road and Terry Hill Road map 9 lots 24A and 18H. The applicant proposes to build four residential house lots which include the construction of a common driveway. Review of mess
presented. Votes may be taken. >> Good evening, Mr. Chairman and commission members. I'm Dave Hick from I represent the Knox family. At the last public hearing, um agreed to
uh so that some minor plan u modifications could be made based upon review number two by Mel Associates. Those plan changes were were done and revised plans were submitted to the commission on June 12th. Um and we did
get a peer review number three in response to that. Um it seemed like they were okay with the changes. There also some very minor changes associated with the uh filing that we do with the planning board for
the common driveway particularly the assessors uh since we started this process u the lots never really had assessor lot numbers and they've been assigned so the plans are all revised throughout to to
address that. So, a couple minor tweaks based on the town planners comments because we're applying for a common a special permit from the planning board for common drop completed the storm water process.
>> So, with that being said, um we request you close public hearing and approve the storm water permit as submitted. Um on a part two to that, we also submitted a letter that um I brought up at the last meeting asking that the um the revised
plans be accepted as minor changes to the original plans for the notice of the order of conditions that were issued. There were two order of conditions issued back in the fall. One for the common driveway, one for uh the lot that comes off of Perry Road. Essentially
change law related to storm water. >> Anyone? >> Julia, we can start with you if you like. >> Yeah. Um, Deb, I don't know if you want to speak or say anything, but I have um me and Deb were working on this together, and she sent me an email with
one condition she suggested in approving this is that the applicant provide a copy of a construction general permit and a storm water pollution prevention plan um to you guys before construction. That was one suggestion.
>> Oh, did you have an issue with that? No. >> Um, anyone else? Okay. Um, you're right, Dave. This is just strictly storm water. Um, has nothing to do with the original order conditions. Um, with that being said, I'd like to entertain a motion that we
um accept the plans um the revised plans as um >> as record plans of record. >> And let's start with that a motion first. >> I'll make a motion. >> I'll second it. >> All those in favor? I I So, the plans
are accepted, Dave. With that, I'd like to entertain a motion that we um uh give out the storm water permit for these uh map 9 lots 24A and 18H. >> As well,
>> second, >> all those in favor. >> But the only note that I want to make is when we submitted it, they were recognized as last 24 and 18 But they've now been assigned. >> Oh, that's right. You said three.
24A is still 24A, but 18H is now known as So the three now identified as 18 K, 18 J, and 18 H.
Get that Julian 18 K 18 J and >> 18 H. >> So it stays the same. >> Age is the same, but the other two are K. >> Just Yeah. For the record. >> For the record. >> Yeah. >> And then with that being said, I'd like to entertain a motion that we close the public hearing. >> Motion to close public hearing.
>> Second. >> All those in favor? >> I. Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Okay. And now under discussion 105 Porter Street removal DP number 0575 review of matters presented. Votes may be taken. >> Yeah, just give a little quick uh
>> Yeah, real quick. No big deal. >> State your name kind of. Should we just go through the tape properly? >> Yeah, no problem. Manuel Costa. I'm here for MRC contracting representing Morgan and Ruben Rodriguez. So, um, back in 2022, I believe it was when this was,
um, approved, there was a there's a couple trees on the lot that are going to affect the base of the retaining wall that were not shown on the drawing. So, still inside the disturbed area. Um, we spoke with, we installed the S fence. We
spoke with Julia. She came down, looked at it. We had a site meeting with uh, Chairman and, um, member Davarus um, in regards to it. uh last Saturday morning. Um they wanted to bring before you to to make it you aware of what was going on. Really no changes to the drawing, just that we're going to have
to remove this stump and tree in order to construct the um the proposed retaining wall that was approved on the order conditions >> back in 2022. >> So first thing we're going to say, I wish it would was on the original drawing because we'd never be having this conversation, but no big deal. >> Yeah. So, in in hindsight, we did speak
with uh Rich Karen about it and and he went back and looked at the drawing and the the layer was shut off when it was submitted. So, it's surveyed. It's there on the drawing. Um I provided Julia, I think last week, with a with a >> a drawing with a mock I wanted
>> if you wanted if anyone wants to see it. >> So, he didn't get to the second. So, with that being said, um I know that over the phone it was um you were a little bit upset and but here's the thing. We just didn't see it, right? Yeah. >> So, after going there, you're right. It
is common sense that the ones down below have to be taken out. >> Um with that being said, you also said you were going to try to leave that little maple. >> So, we're going to do our best to leave it. >> So, I wouldn't The only reason I'm going to look at that tree and I say that's a
future disturbance to that wall. >> Yeah. >> Right. So I understand if that comes out. That's my opinion. I am going to put it to a vote. The other one we discussed was the one up top about leaving the stump and before I left I asked you about grades. Yeah. >> The reason I asked that that is going to
be a slope there to try to leave that stump is going to >> Yeah. >> Is going to be tough, right? >> Yeah. So if you look at the drawing that maple fortunately is on the drawing the >> there's no grading that is going to affect it. But I mean, if if there's no opposition to remove the stump, it's obviously the best way, but we're trying
to appease the commission. Uh if you know, Julie and I had a long conversation about that you guys like to leave stumps. We'll gladly leave it if necessary, but if we don't have to, we would would appreciate if we could could remove it. >> So, I know that um Doug and I went out there, Christian's glancing over it now.
Um Julia and I did have a little discussion on it. Um, that being said, I mean, I'd like to entertain a motion that you're allowed to move all trees and stumps and do the work. Um, we saw the waddles up and everything else. So, there is no 10-day appeal. There's no
nothing. You're ready to rock and roll and um have it. >> So, I'll entertain a motion that they all get taken out. >> So, I'll make the motion to um go ahead and address those and and have those taken out in the stump removal if absolutely necessary on this project.
All those in favor. >> All set, sir. >> Thank you very much. Thank you. Good. You're welcome. >> Happens. >> Okay. 1094 Main Street Brookside Realy Trust SE00001-06000 to determine if shed is an exempt
activity review presented or may be taken. >> I think we actually have that right here. >> Yeah, I gave that them one, too. We're on it, Dave. We're on it. I highlighted more of it. >> Yeah, I only highlighted a little bit, but you got more than me.
>> Good, David. >> So, uh, for the recommendation Leon, I represent the property owners of 1094 Main Street. Um, at the last meeting, the commission approved the issuance of an order conditions for the construction of four mobile homes. And within that
request, we had asked for uh the approval of a a well pump out shed, if you will. So, there's some confusion as to whether that should have been done or not. I understand confusion. Um it was previously approved under a prior order
uh smaller version. Um the out to the the whole dilemma is that it is actually an exempt activity based on the workers protection act because it's an activity uh that is conversion of a lawn use uh
to accessory uses to residential structures such as deck sheds, patios, etc. It's essentially it's a it's a well pump shed. Um the uh wells were approved under an order last year. The wells are in. The owner is moving forward with putting in the water lines from the
wells over to the culdeac. He has applied for a building permit for the well pump house. And we would uh we would really appreciate if the commission would vote to agree that uh vote to determine that it is an exempt
activity to shed itself within the lawn area that we had staked out in the field. U so that he can move forward. And then the order just simply won't reflect the second plan that was submitted. Just the first plan. Second one was an addendum plan um that was prepared uh for the building permit
application as well. So it'll just serve that purpose. >> Oops. >> So the handout that I gave you guys um for this is basically the exact same thing that Dave just said. Um I highlighted uh section B of 10.02
activities within the buffer zone. Um the following minor activities provided they comply with the requirements are subject are otherwise not subject to regulation and conversion of lawn to residential structures such as decks, sheds, patios, pools. So yeah, the same
thing Dave said is what I also found uh when I researched this. The one thing I did learn um going to that site visit is it's actually further out of the buffer zone. >> Um it's in kind of a better area than where it was. So um
any thoughts? >> So with that, I'd like to entertain a motion that we accept this as an exempt activity. >> I'll make a motion. Do >> I have a second? >> Second. All those in favor? >> I I one no, three yeses.
>> Thank you for your time. >> Thank you again. >> Okay. 35 Hathway Road have a review of measures presented. Those may be taken. >> Okay. So, um I got in contact today with Fields Engineering and they um filed
after the fact NOI for Doug and at 35 Hathway Road yesterday. So that'll be on our next agenda. Um but it is filed and in our office now. >> Okay. Um 16 Hunter Street Cease and Desist
Review of Matters book may be taken. >> So you guys have the cease and assist letter printed out for you if you want to read it. But I did send that out on June 12th based on the vote from our last uh meeting. And then an update on
the peer review. So, the peer reviewer, which is um Holmes, he sent the initial peer review proposal and the um resident of 1600 Street accepted the proposal and they already gave the check to the town. So,
now the next step is just for the peer reviewer to pick a date and go out there and start um go on site. So, it is in motion. >> Great. >> Okay. out here. If you don't mind, Christian leading up the next one.
>> 185 Matapo Road project process clarification BP number 0586 review of matters presented. Votes may be taken. >> Okay. So, I did receive a lot of letters
regarding this and I talked to a lot of people to try to clarify the situation of since they're selling the house, when are they going to begin the work and when is the work going to be completed. So, you guys have a little packet with um the emails. So, the first email is
from attorney um Marsh and his email said um the property owner is proceeding expeditiously as possible with the work approved by the commission and the owner remains committed to completing all approved work and will promptly seek a COC from the commission upon completion.
Um and they also said uh it's advised that the owner will ensure that all approved work is completed and a COC is obtained prior to transfer of ownership of the property. So that's some clarification. And then we also get uh more clarification in the handout which
is an email from Shane Tracy. He kind of sent an email that is just showing um all the dates that emails were sent between him or um James Marsh as well to Barland which is the company that they're working with to try to complete
this work. >> Um so he said below are dates with information on the work that's been going on in the background for our property. We've been working and pressing Farland Corp to ensure this site work and COC signup are obtained prior to property sale per our home sale addendum. And then lastly,
uh there's an email from Carrie Lorero, which is um she is um >> want to get this right. >> Oh yeah, that's right. Her title. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Yeah. >> She's the broker owner of realy. So she
um sent this um addendum to the purchase and sale agreement and is signed by all parties confirming that the clients agreed to comply with all applicable requirements of the Aushnet Conservation Commission conditions in compliance
prior to closing of the transaction. So, with all that being said, it gives us clarification that the owners are working to complete this and they're working to complete it expeditiously and they will be completing it before sale of the home and transfer to the next person. So, that's the clarification
that I received. >> Mr. Chairman, I'd like to go to the podium. >> So, Mr. Vice Chairman, if I may. Yes. Uh, so do we have a contingency um any any communications as far as a uh another site inspection when this
supposed work is completed? >> I believe they need another site inspection before they can obtain their COC. >> Correct. >> As long as they're aware of this to be able to obtain that COC. I I I think that,
>> you know, really needs to be put across. Okay. >> In case it got missed. >> Yep. Thank you, Mr. Vice Chair. Very good. Um, is there any discussion from the public? >> James Souza, uh, resident of 183 Matavit
Road. Um, first of all, I'm just coming by voting to apologize the way I was acting last week. Um, just so everyone knows, it's been 19 months since the day I was flooded to when they put the shovel in the ground. Um, the swale is 50% done. Um,
it it's looking decent. Uh, they got all rid of the concrete blocks. Uh, the other thing I do want to mention is that I did allow them to use my driveway to get rid of the concrete block so they didn't tear up their asphalt. Um, so I am working with Falland. Um, I'm trying to do the best that I can to make this
go smooth. Um, the only thing is is um, like I said, I was very hot last meeting. Um, especially when the realtor told me that this this was all going to be put on the new owner and I was just in my mind, how far is it going to go, right? Well, just so everyone knows, it
was 19 months from the day I got flooded to almost the day they started with the excavators there. So, they got it 50% done. Um, that wash out that we had with this rain uh was really ugly. Um, I think it should be looked at by this
commission um, from a resident and I'm letting you know that it looks very ugly. So, with that being said, I want everyone to know that I am do truly apology for my actions. Thank you. >> Yeah. Thank you, Mr.
Much appreciated. >> Absolutely. >> Yeah. Um it sounds like uh things are moving in a positive direction and um hopefully that continues and before long we can put this behind us and close this
out. So um and I do appreciate you uh extending the olive branch to try to uh expedite that whole situation. >> Yeah. Well, white room someone but again you you know you did and I'm
sure appreciated as well on the butters side as as well. So again um >> yes >> everything sounds positive and u we'll keep an eye on it. We will and hopefully um finish up with it very soon.
>> Very good. Thank you. >> Okay. Review of amendment in the Biden agreement between EPA and town of the cushion agreement amendments presented. Votes may be taken. Julia. >> Okay. So Chris Kelly from the EPA came to our meeting probably about a month
ago and he shared with us uh the memorandum of agreement that he was looking to be accepted by um the town and I sent it to town council to see if they had any edits or if they thought that um this needs to be approved by the
selectman as well. And so their opinion on that was that this agreement does not require select board approval because it's simply a procedural agreement between the commission and the EPA. And then I got some edits from town council.
So they weren't major edits. Here is um just the document and the red is the edits they made. Most of the edits were simply changing the words the town's conservation commission to the commission. So, that was the only edit
that we had. It's just in there like six times. Um, that's why there's a lot of red. And then this is the um agreement with the edits. If you guys choose to accept it, you can sign this after.
>> Okay. Um, I know that I sat down with um Mr. Kelly, a really nice guy. Um I think this is a very positive um action being taken to help protect any of the contamination that's out there that people just don't go dig up in yards. Right. >> Protect the public.
>> Yep. It protects the public. It protects our water, our resources. It I think it's really good. So with that being said, I'd like to entertain a motion that we accept this. >> I'll make that motion to accept this. I'll second that. >> All those in favor? >> I
>> Okay. Certificate statement for stormwater purpose uh permits and operation and maintenance plans for registry of deeds. Review of metas presented votes may be taken. So, um, this was actually a suggestion
by Deb from Melo Engineers, um, to put the it's this handout that you guys have, this red box, and this is an example from the Cohasset Town. And so it would just be putting a statement like that red box at the end of our
storm water permits um that we hand out so that way it can be more easily recorded at the registry of deeds because without it it's hard for them to record and they don't really know um they don't really have >> kind of enough information to to do it easily >> logistics right I think I think it's a
fantastic idea >> so just so everyone knows I went to the registry of these I had to get a copy of my deed um and I was actually talking to the girls there regarding this and u she says it's really tough, right? Because they don't even really know. So, it's going to give them something to go by. I
think it's going to work out great. I think it's something that we definitely need to make it work so then everything can get recorded like it's supposed to. So, with that being said, I'm going to entertain a motion that we accept Deb Keller's recommendation and uh come up
with this red bot per se with our own town in it and make it work. Do I get a motion? >> I'll make a motion to accept what has proposed for this town. >> I'll second that. >> Okay. >> All those in favor? >> I thank you for doing that. Thank you.
>> This is uh in a positive direction for this town. >> Yeah. It's going to make it easier, right? >> Yeah. I it's it's a hard thing to do especially when you know they prepare operation maintenance and maintenance is really the key storm water going
>> and if that just disappears >> it just goes away right yeah >> and it and it just it it draws the attention and the awareness that there's a plan in place and it this you know needs to be done and needs to be addressed and should be addressed. >> I think this is fantastic.
>> Thank you for that. Thank you, De. >> Okay, agent updates. 48 Lambert Lambert Street, D number 0597, replication area update. So, I conducted a site visit um at 48 Lambert Street on June 15th to see
the replication area and I approved the silk fence that was in place. And I also saw that um he had planted all the required plants that he was supposed to do for his replication area. And then he did not put the wetland seed mix in yet,
but he has um I believe an entire another year to complete this. So, he's got going to put the wetland seed mix in in the fall, um, September, October, because he asked me if he should do it now or wait, and I talked to Jim about this, and we decided it's best to wait
because it might not >> last if he does it now. So, >> yeah, he throws a seed now. Julia gave me a call um when her and I discussed it after she went to the site and everything and I told her, I says, "Either you plant before June or you plant in October." Yeah. um around it.

Main Street at Kushion at Mass. Um before I adjourn this meeting, I have a couple little words to say. We went to the site visit Saturday. When we went to the site visit Saturday, there was a selectman there. Uh when we arrived, um I asked him on site while I was
there. He said the TA sent him there. Um so, I did reach out to him after the site visit. I called him up personally. Um I had a discussion with him and um it was beyond just the TA standing there. Um after the conversation with him, I believe there's a lot of things I'm
doing incorrectly. Um the word embarrassment was used. Um so with that being said, um I'm going to give up this chair. Um this is my last meeting. I am resigning. Um, I hope that you get
someone else here that is willing to put in the time that I have. Um, on the phone with the uh, selectman for approximately 10, 12 minutes, whatever it was, it didn't seem like I had any good uh, good side about me. Um, I know
one thing that no one could take away from me. I think I've dedicated more time as a chairman than any town around here has ever. Um, I know when we didn't have an agent, I was putting 20, 25 hours a week into that office. And even now that we do have an agent, I am
always available. Um, I even have toys in my desks there for my granddaughter when I go there. Um, with that being said, I just want you guys to know that I've really enjoyed working with you. I really enjoyed seeing this town. I've learned so much
more about this town. And um, Julia, it was a pleasure seeing you come in as a rookie. And uh I'm glad I was here for you for those 6 months. It was really a good thing. Um I'm glad the way that you and I clicked from day one. And uh that being said, I hope um everyone has fun
and moves on. So with that being said, I'd like to entertain a motion that we adjourn the meeting. >> Motion to adjourn this meeting. >> Second. >> All those in favor? All right. Heat.
