conservation commission meeting to audit. Uh this meeting is video and audio recorded for cable broadcast and internet posting on www.dyon uh-mash.gov Gov and YouTube. Would everyone stand
please for the pledge of allegiance? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Our
first item on the agenda is an a notice of intent application uh by John Paul Rossi of Zenica. Uh that uh uh is they have requested a continuence to our May
21st uh meeting. Is there a motion to continue? Motion to continue. >> I'll second. >> All in favor? >> I >> Okay. Next, we have a notice of intent
application from Tyler Groots, 553 Center Street, uh to demo existing trailer home, construct a new 4 bay garage with associated parking utilities and septic system. Uh Weston and Samson
peer review receive and response from Wengineering received. Okay. Small copies of the plan if anybody wants. >> Okay. Thank you. I have a lounge sign in please.
>> Thank Mr. Shannon Evan Watson from W Engineering representing the applicant. Uh we were here a few months ago. Uh we presented the project the 4 bay garage that's in the 200 foot riverfront area
and the board going to send it out to third party review at Wesson and Samson. Uh since we last met, we uh met with the planning board who went over the site plan review and special permit which they've approved. And we've also had a review from Western
Samson for all the storm water and for all the components of the nose and pent filing. Uh we responded to all the storm water issues with the planning board and we have a clean letter from them. And then we have um the final well what I would hope to be the final review from
them on the notice of intent information. I responded to them and was be able to address all of their concerns. They just had a couple uh minor typos on the forms and asked to add some erosion control to the plan
which I have done. Um, so I'd be happy to hear anything that maybe Wes Samson has to say, anything comments from the agent and answer any questions that the board may have. >> Um, we also have a presentation from
Megan at some point. >> Yes. Okay. I'm just going through. Okay. Uh Megan, why don't you uh give us your review of the project? >> Sure. I'll uh run through it very quickly. You all can hear me correct?
>> Yes. >> Can you hear her? Okay. >> Yes. >> Um it won't let me share my screen. Um I don't know if you could could see any help sharing. I'm happy to just run through the comments.
Oops. >> Yeah. What does it say? calls. >> Yeah, I can do that and it'll allow her to >> That looks like it works. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> All right. So, theoretically, you are
seeing a presentation right now. >> All right. I will jump into it. So, just briefly, we reviewed the initial materials provided by the applicant. I know they recently submitted some revised materials, taking
a quick look at them. I haven't had a chance to dig into them, but um I'll I'll touch on that briefly, but just to reorient this site 553, there is a cranial stream on the western side of the site as a BW.
These are just some photos from the site visit to give you all a general idea of what it looks like. On the left hand side is the existing driveway and on the right side is the existing pennial stream and some bordering vegetated
wetlands. And then here are some representative photos of the border wetlands out on site. I did conduct a site visit and all the wetlands I agreed with their placement of um
so just as uh the applicant just stated there were a few administrative items uh to update some WPA form updates. It does look like those have all been updated. Um similarly the wetland delineation report tape the data provided. are
providing all that information and there are some updates as well on the look like those have been added and sees added as well areas for the conservation commission. Um there was
one question I just had. It didn't look like the local wetland um buffer zones have been added to the plan. I don't know if that's something the commission might want to request. I do understand there's no work proposed in it. However, typically
like on no work. So I would defer to the commission on that. Um and then in the narrative the applicant address performance standards in area provided additional clarification
for the work that can't be located outside of it. Um and it does share the responses to C comments um took place and then as the applicant also suggested the storm water review has been
completed. Um the commission may wish to have the discharge statement and apologize it might have been part of the new materials you provided but if not the commission may wish to add that as a condition in the order of conditions.
So I will open up to questions from the commission or agent. >> So did you address any D comments? She said >> the comment was to uh they asked the commission to confirm that the lot existed before 1997
and in the materials I submitted was the plan that created the lot which was in the 70s. So, and then the other thing the uh elicit discharge statement I provided a signed copy >> to the planning what is that >> to planning board and I believe it was
in the materials that I dropped off. >> It wasn't attached but >> I think it was a separate uh piece of paper in the fold. >> Oh, okay. >> Is this uh structure going to be for the repairing of their vehicles? >> No. So, it's basically a contract as
condominiums. So the idea would be a plumber could rent out one of these bays. He would show up in the morning, grab his materials, hop in his plumbing van, and go out to service his customers. Uh electrician, HVAC guy,
that that type of uh but no repair of any automotive. >> Okay. So they won't be changing oil or doing stuff like Okay. No. We talked about this briefly, but um any chance you would even
consider um end up ending up renting to like a landscaper or any one like that? >> Well, there's no >> we don't have anybody in line. Anybody in line, right? >> There's nobody in line. But part of it is part of the
um zoning is that there's no uh storage of stock and materials outside. >> Yeah. Nothing on site or any of that worry. Absolutely not. >> So, I would expect that if a landscaper asked to rent a bay, he would not want
to because he can't stock any material, >> keep equipment, not all that type of stuff outside. >> Not necessarily. No, I don't want any of that. I don't want people. >> This is the I live on the back. So, >> okay. So, there's no septic system on site or
>> there will be a septic system. Yes. >> So, there'll be a septic system. >> Okay. All right. All right. >> Now, is it each unit that's going to have a septic uh restaurant? >> No. >> We're not sure yet. We do a common area or we do one. We haven't decided that
yet. >> Yeah, the septic's designed to accommodate the whole building. >> So they they could conceivably each have their own restroom. >> So how do you how do you judge something like that uh versus a threebedroom house
or four bedroom house? >> Uh title five has uh lists of design flow for each type of use. So in there, that's what we use to size. >> Any uh need for any dewatering at the site?
>> I don't believe so. Um water table was fairly low. We have on-site storm water that is obviously above it infiltration. So it's above the water table and then the building will be slab on grade. So no deep foundations or anything of that
nature. So I don't expect to be deep watering needed. Okay. >> So, did I see it correctly that you're you're going to be putting in two infiltration systems? There's snow water on one on each end. >> That's right. >> Okay.
>> And the roof is tied into that and that picks up the water from the one on each side. >> Everything's going into those systems. >> And so, how do those get maintained as >> there's an operation and maintenance plan that we submitted with the storm
water report. So it would be on the owner of the property to do that. So there was um some inspection reports and cleanouts shown and then the catch basins themselves can be opened up and pumped out, you know, scooped out just like a road catch basin.
>> Was the planning board requiring like updates on the operation and maintenance of it or >> is that something they usually >> I don't think that was in there though. >> No, just so you're aware they have to maintain it. Got to keep up with
everything now. >> Okay. >> Underground. >> Okay. Looking at this for the most part there outside of the 200 foot uh and uh you know including the septic
is that going to be all that packing is that going to be all paved or is that going to be crushed gravel? Uh >> it's proposed to be paved. So, um, one current concern I have is, um, there's a, I think a relatively new,
um, dumpster over there. >> Not relatively new. It's been there for 10 years. >> And it's not on that property. >> And that's off property. It's not different. >> Got it. >> So, that's not relevant to this conversation. >> Okay. Just double check.
I didn't hear respon so that's why >> I no Tyler and I were talking about it. >> You have any any more questions? >> I really should have rescued myself, Jim. >> Oh, okay. >> Because because my mother was a Staples
and they were related to Brad. So, >> okay. Well, we we get >> Okay. >> Who aren't you related to? Now, Staples goes way back. My grandfather was >> Yeah. >> cousin to
>> Once you get the third cousin, they're not related anymore. >> No, but related to Brad. >> Okay. Um, any questions over here? >> No.
>> Okay. Um, Lisa, do you have anything else before we uh decide Well, I I think it can be conditioned. I mean, approved with conditions. Yes. So, >> well, there there's always conditions.
Uh um and uh >> so you got to remove uh so as far as the landscaping goes. Um so, did you want to specify? It looks like you specified the seed mix of the
lawn but um existing lawn to be remained disturbed areas to receive loan and seed. Um are there any areas that we could
replace uh trees? How many trees? One tree. There was one tree that was uh central here that had to be removed and then there's a row of abroad that are along the driveway. He's going to pick those up and relocate them on the other side
of the driveway and along the back. >> Okay. >> Okay. Now, what do you you have two or three uh uh s uh septic systems? I I can see definitely two. It looks like there's a third one there.
>> That's right. So, two of them are to handle the storm water runoff. It's infiltration. >> Okay. >> And then the third is the on-site septic system here. >> Okay. Oh, I got you. Okay. All right. Okay. >> Any uh questions? Anyone?
>> Four has the landscaping. Um so, we're basically going to maintain some of the vegetation. >> I just want to make sure that that actually does happen. And then the seed mix that Megan was talking about,
did you want to specify that? >> Um, it did specify here. It says lawn seed mix of Kentucky blue grass, perennial grass, creeping red fescue, and annual rivals, which is pretty much the bag if you think of that. >> Native.
>> Yes. >> Okay. Megan, do you have anything else? >> Replace that tree with another tree. Do you guys mind explaining a tree to replace a tree to take down? >> No, we had actually anticipated probably more than just one tree. We like trees. >> Okay, great.
>> Good. >> Just we just asked that they be native. >> That's fine. >> We have to look at it. So, >> stay away from the invasive grasses. A lot of times the landscapers like to use that very
>> we're the landscapers and we have to keep up with it and I don't want to deal with it. So don't worry it'll be nice Lisa. >> Okay Lisa Megan do you have anything else you want to say or are you finished? >> The only the only outstanding thing would be just to add the local buffer
zones to the plans but that could also be something to condition to submit. >> Anyone in the audience have questions? Okay. Uh, I'll look for a motion. >> Motion to approve living conditions.
>> Is there a second? >> Okay. All in favor? >> We have 21 days to issue those. I don't think I'll take the whole 21. There is a 10day appeal period from the date they're issued. >> Very good. Thank you.
>> Okay. >> Close the hearing, I guess. Oh, and I have another item on the agenda. It's last. I don't know if it makes sense just to take it right now. >> Which which one? Give me a >> The Hunter Hill.
>> Hunter Hill. Oh, the Clubhouse. >> Clubhouse Drive. >> Okay. >> All right. Um, let's take that out of order then. Uh, if someone would make a motion to take Clubhouse Drive out of order. >> Motion to take Clubhouse Drive out of
order. Second. >> Okay. All in favor? >> Okay. Lisa, we we just voted to take clubhouse drive out of our long bill. >> Thank you. >> I think my other I think that folder is in my car.
>> Okay. Do you have your file number yet? >> You have copies of plants for them? >> I don't have copies for them. I can go get mine. >> We didn't receive a file number, but we would like to hear input from what the board has to say. >> Let me go get my plans from the power. >> Okay. Well, he can uh
>> do you want to see? >> Uh yeah, let's Okay, let's wait a moment and we'll uh You don't have a file number? >> We don't have a file number yet. So, I'm not expecting to close the hearing, but I would like to hear any input if there's any changes while we're waiting.
Okay, for the audience, this is um Longuilt Homes, uh Hunter Hill. Uh this is construction of a single family house with associated clearing and grading. Uh file number not yet issued and this is
in that I'm going to call it the senior um 55 development. Okay. and uh a portion of the work falls within the uh wetland jurisdiction. Thank you, Jack.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It's Evan Watson again, Wen Engineering, representing the applicant. Um this is a filing construct a single family home on lot 127. Now, most of the other lots that we've been in here were uh new lots
that were part of um the redesign. When law build came in, we modified the form C subdivision and they're building all new homes on new lots. When they purchased the property, this lot was
cleared and uh ready for development, but the previous owner had yet to build a house on it. So, um to the left is an existing house on lot 146. >> Actually, it's his is quite visible to us. Jack, you want to see
>> you want to see this here? >> I can pretty much. >> Okay. All right. Yeah, I can see very well from here. >> Yeah, guys, you want to between two existing houses? This is slightly different than the standard house they use so that it fits well on
this lot and it matches uh the houses on either side of it. Um this behind here, this is a a wetland that was more or less created by some happen stance uh in the back here. Just
doesn't really uh you know they they built certain things to a certain point and then they kind of gave up. You know, >> we're talking about the previous owner. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> They they >> they Yes. Um, and part of that there's an there's a a
woods road that they use through here to access the area in the back instead of going around the roadway. So, right now there's a an existing wood road. There's like a pile over here and there's not really a lot of top soil. It's just um
some weeds growing in there through the the dirt of whatever could could make it. Um, so on here I show that we have our 100 foot buffer zone, our 50 foot no build zone, and then this while we were
permitting things was classified as a vertical. >> Okay. Where's the house going to be? Right here. >> Okay. All right. >> So, it's out, excuse me, outside the 50 foot, but it's within the 200 foot uh vernal pool area. So again, this lot is
currently a lawn and there's houses on either side of it. So my contention is that this area that would normally be good for protection of the vernal pool is not currently functioning um or anything useful for any um animals here.
Just to the back side of this is where we created our wetland mitigation area uh for the clubhouse. And so we created a new vernal pool there and we created um some other wetlands. Uh Lisa and I walked out there
the other day. We actually saw the egg masses and everything else. So it's it's working out really really well. press without >> you said >> 200 feet from the vernal pool. Now our
bylaw says vernal pool is is 100 ft from the high water mark. So that's 200 feet from that point. >> We're 100t from that point. So we're within that. Um now your bylaw does allow to um some concessions. So, what
we were looking to do is since this area in here isn't very useful to any habitat, but this existing roadway would be, uh, we would want to come in here and kind of scrape out the useless uh,
soil. >> So, you want to go within the 25 foot no touch >> to do some wetland mitigation. Yes. So on this road here, we would replace it with some top soil and then seed it with um a wood road seed mix, which would
grow some grasses in there and then allow the other wetland vegetation that's around it to fill in and create a better habitat and it would be more connected to the vernal pool that we created to the north. And then on this side we have the
25 foot um no touch zone and it's has been mowed routinely. So we would hold that 25 ft no touch zone and we would plant some additional plantings in here. I specified some red ozio dogwood there.
you uh you have submitted um dialogue with your uh plans or >> um it was just nothing too too fancy just uh something >> all right well this gives us a heads up
so that we can uh uh view it and when we go on site we'll know what you're dealing with more effectively and uh uh and you know you do expect it it has to be continued because of a lack of a file number. >> That's right. So, >> okay.
>> But we do need something written, you know, if you want to work in that zone, like, you know, we need some sort of your mitigation plan kind of written out in a narrative. >> If you could um I I actually like you didn't Well,
you'll see it. Well, we can go to the right. >> Yeah. >> Well, we got time. We got a month to get down there and uh and see everything and uh we'll be there. not to interrupt. You were saying, Lisa, I didn't want to interrupt her when she was saying how much she likes the project. So,
>> he's gone. >> What you're going to have to do is put it in a bowling alley. >> Pretty much. >> Well, this cat, >> this is essentially a bowling alley right now. >> We want to remove the bowling alley and replace it with something that's a
little more habitat friendly. So, >> okay. All right. Does anyone have any questions now or we'll just wait for a further uh uh you know further filing along the way and uh any dialogue that we get with it. So we'll be down there.
>> Yeah, if you want me to uh come along certainly let me know or um Brendan from >> Lisa and we'll let you know on that. >> I have a question. Brendan's no longer there, right? Because I did try to reach him. Is there someone else that's >> Oh, I forgot. I forgot.
>> All right. Call Brendan anytime. He'll help you. >> Okay. Uh, are you all set? >> Yes, I am. So, I'd ask the board to continue and schedule. >> Uh, okay. You're requesting continue. Well, we have to. Is there a motion to
continue? >> So, moved. >> Second. >> Seconded by Jack. All in favor? >> I uh 20 >> 21. >> Thank you, Evan. Okay.
>> Uh we're going back to the uh direction of the agenda says review discuss a new hearing abbreviated notice of resource area delineation by Victor Dilva for property at 2689
uh Cton Road map 21. The request is to be reviewed and approved the wetland resource areas as delineated. The applicant was sent the application was sent out for two proposals. Um,
>> how you doing, sir? >> Good. You legendary. >> Leave these on Lisa's desk. >> Okay. Get back to Lisa. She'll uh Yeah, I I should be here. >> You got a code on.
Lisa, we all set up. >> Can you sure you did? Hopefully a bird doesn't fly in. >> Yeah, thank you. >> This property was the remaining piece of property when we did the subdivision for C road years ago. This is the house of
all the holding the farmland out there 2689 C. What we did is we had a botist go out to the site Chris Capone. He flag the wetland line which I'm showing on the plan in green and the riverfront line.
Okay, we do not have a map here of this. Okay, have copies. >> Uh do you have a couple there or is this Do we have to submit? >> Yeah, we do. Sorry. >> Want to wrap this one up.
>> Okay. Are >> you on Portland first? >> Yes. >> Okay. Hey, let's slide. Okay, slide. We got here. We're also >> Oh, that's the other that's >> okay.
>> Okay. Williams. Old Williams. >> Yep. >> Courtland. >> No, this is Courtland. Down Street's a little dead end street. This is where Rita found to live. The house has been sold. So what we did is Chris Capone flagged the wetland line which is goes from A1
to A25 going across the back of the property. The property is very large. You see it's 678,000 square ft of land. >> 68,000. That's an acre and a half. It's about four
>> about 20 about maybe 30 acres of >> No, it's not 60 >> 67. >> Oh, 600. It's >> a big >> but a lot of it's wet. >> We're only going to concentrate on the
upland portion where the house is. >> Yeah. >> So, we had the flag line put in here from flag 81 to flag 25. Beyond that is a perennial stream. So we flagged it from RF1A to RF14A.
>> Okay. >> And that what we need to do is get the line approved by the commission to make sure that it was properly delineated. >> Okay. All right. >> So that's where we stay. >> And then and then later we'll come Well, you may build a house completely out of
it, which we will. That's right. >> Which means if you're completely out of it, you don't have to come back. Correct. Yes. >> We do have a butters here. >> Okay. >> Lisa, um was this the one that we talked about?
Um uh another uh monitor on the wetland for delineation. >> Here it >> Oh, yeah. Here it is right here. Okay. Okay. Just so the people here for this understand what's going on is um we
requested peer review. So we want help looking at that wetland for this property. Feel free to come look at the plan if you want to show us. But um so we need a consultant to come
out on our behalf that the applicant pays for to look at that and make sure it's accurate. So that's the stage we're at at this point. So we have a couple of proposals and we're just talking about it.
>> I'd like to bring up the uh what I pointed out. Uh there are five holding areas in that in that subdivision. Okay. Before you do that though, we just have to finish here. >> Discuss it here. I will call for uh uh
input from the audience. >> Step up to the podium then. >> You're welcome. You're welcome. I for sure this >> we we won't leave you out. >> Uh okay. All right. Um so Lisa, we've sent out to uh to get what more than one
uh um >> Yep. West Samson's came out to be 6,470 I believe or I might be off maybe >> 600 we got the idea six >> and we have another one here that which
you saw. Which one would you uh like? >> I don't I don't think he fixed it. >> No, no, I'm just being funny. I'm being funny. >> Okay. >> Because I I know which one. >> You're being really funny tonight. laugh or you cry.
>> Okay. Well, we do have a second uh uh bidding uh from uh uh Nova Environmental Consulting uh at 2650. >> So, you want to go with six other go with the lower one.
>> I'm sure you I think you have probably worked with her. >> She is excellent. >> Okay. All right. So, that that'll be uh uh might to go into 53G >> and uh um we'll give her the go ahead to
come in. >> Okay. >> Okay. Um >> do you guys have any questions? >> Okay. Questions? Um are you are you set? >> I'm also >> Okay. Any questions from the audience on this property on Courtland Road? Sir,
come up to the podium. Please state your name. Yeah. Give us your social security and your bank number. >> Okay, Bob. Okay. I live at 2667 Courtland Road. >> Yes. >> And uh there are covenants uh for the
properties that were Butters. >> Yeah. >> Uh I've had a look at this where directly it does not affect me. Um the land on the furthest south in the properties
of the drainage system there was I saw a road that was put in because twice a year uh we have to get that mitigated the the any overgrowth or anything uh can't be o
all overgrown so we have to maintain that that's the only one in the 85 has no direct access to the street. They made a they made a street. So, okay. So,
what is the uh what is that? Uh >> the wrong. >> No, this is Oh, >> where is this? Where >> he moved around? >> Oh, he moved it. >> Oh, that's why the other one had another um
>> Yeah, it's right there. >> Oh, he moved. Okay. Can I have that map back, sir? Um Um because you said that there's a a a pathway. Oh, here it is right here. Existing cop
path. So, what is the purpose of this cart path? >> What he's talking about is this. This is the access right here to the >> That's what I'm talking about. And this one has no frontage. Well, it's got 50 ft of front here to get to the potential
basin. >> Okay. But we Okay, we are dealing with with this lot here which does not infringe upon that that uh >> actually we're dealing with delineation only. We're not
>> Yeah, that's all we're dealing with. >> We're dealing with Okay, >> that's the only thing we're dealing with is >> so plant, soil, and water. That's it. this green line and what what um okay what's going to have to happen is Mr.
Baraby's uh client will put money into a fund. We are going to have another botonist come in and say these flags are right or they should be moved one way or the other because there's
some inaccuracies. Most of the time, uh they're either accurate or very close to accurate. And that's all we're doing. We're not we're not we're this is not up for building a house. This is not up it's only to say is this line accurate.
So if you were to go out there you'll see flags in the field. >> Correct. >> That's all that's all this person is going to do. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Y um will that be discussed at any point or that's >> well if they're going to build a Okay.
>> So they come in with front front uh trucks the That's >> this is this is their right away here. >> So this is this is the property line. This is >> nothing to do with here. Nothing. And if they put a house over here and they're
going to be um this is the stream 200 ft away from here. We won't see him again. he will just get his building permits and go ahead and uh if he were to try to put it here then he would have to come to get approval and we would want
protection of the buffer zone. >> But I I would assume with all this property he's going to put the house somewhere over here and he's never going to see us again. >> Okay. >> He doesn't like us. >> Okay.
All right. Um Okay. Is there any uh questions from the audience? Okay. Um a motion to have uh no um Nova Environmental Consulting uh do the
job for wetland delineation uh and to have the uh money put in an escrow account. 2650. >> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> Okay.
Okay. >> Okay. Uh, next on the agenda, uh, is to, uh, is a request for determination of applicability by Greg Feny for property at Zero Main Street in Dayton. Uh, work includes a
proposed perimeter fence to be installed around agricultural property. Lisa, you have news for us? >> Yeah. Um, actually, it's right up here. I think he actually skipped. He actually skipped took that out. A lot of them
>> get William Street. We got William Street. >> Oh, >> okay. Sorry about that. >> Okay. All right. Okay. Um, >> abbreviated notice of area resource delineation by from Joseph W III at Zero
William Street. The request is to be reviewed and approved of the wetland resource area delineation. Um the application was sent out for peer review proposals. >> You get that Joe.
>> Okay. >> Representing Joe Ma who's in the audience. >> Okay. Similar to the last job, this is the other side of the of the property. This is actually the property that we just looked at the far end of it, the far north.
>> This is his access is from William Street and we installed with the same botist Chris Capone installed the flag line from B1 to B28. So, it goes beyond this property
and that's what we're asking for is that that line be looked at and to be determined if it was accurately delineated. >> Uh, okay. All right. Um, Lisa, do you have a a second? Uh,
um, >> yeah. >> Yeah. Yes. A second review proposal. >> Yeah. >> Um Bob, on the last one, um I I I gave you one number. I don't know
if you want the Nova to come and make a presentation on your behalf on whatever is happening. >> Only only if the board wants it. I mean, most of the time the consultant responds. unless the board
>> I think as long as she can review it and let us know if it's right or not. Sometimes they recommend moving flags, deleting flags and connecting flags. So if she us something in response that would be fine. Again, we have uh two uh
uh prices uh for from different uh hosts. Uh Lisa, what was West? >> It was the same as the other one was 60. Do you remember the number? >> 67 and change it. >> 6740
>> and Nova Environmental is 1950. Uh we are happy to have uh Nova Environmental And again, if you want her to come, uh, but we wouldn't require it. Uh, we have
done, uh, for for 20 years with Noah. We have so >> Yeah. And, um, very accurate and um, okay. Anyone in the audience have any questions about Okay. So,
>> can you state your name and address for the record? If you want to go up this in the minutes can hear it. >> Yeah. Hi, Alan Carvalo from 2669 Courtley Road out of uh Curiosity. I know you guys mentioned for the previous
item that there's no project yet, but uh on this one for the Williams Street property, is there any project any revision of what's the development on the area yet? >> No, this is just a this is just to
determine the wetland line. >> That's all. There's nothing >> about what he's going to do with it or what's going to happen. So, as I told Bob, uh the agent will just check this is the lot. I'm going to
walk look at every one of these flags and say, "Are the flags in the accurate location?" Uh if they are good, if they if she said, "Well, we're going to move it five feet this way or this way." Uh you know, that that'll be done. And then
if if a house is built over here, uh 100 ft away, 200 ft from here, they don't have to come by to see us. >> And the the radiation happens only one side of the street or >> um >> Yeah. I mean, they're only working from here.
>> Oh, okay. Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, just over here. Anyways, there's the buffer zone from the center line of the stream. >> Yeah. Well, I say >> because uh it's too close to do
anything, you know, in here. So, you only got >> Okay. 30 some ft. So, >> so I mean it's uh for us this is a very cut and dry uh uh are the flags accurate and then if you work within a certain
distance you have to come back. If you don't uh you don't have to. >> Okay. Appreciate. >> All right. Uh anyone else? >> Thank you. >> Is there a motion for uh starting up a
53G account with uh uh Nova Environmental? >> So move. >> I'll second. >> All in favor? >> I >> Okay. So Nova Nova will probably come on one day. Do both of them. She won't

Okay. Uh, on behalf of the Feny brothers who own the property, I Group Incorporated is writing to update you on the status of the current request for determination of applicability. After careful consideration, the owner
would like to withdraw the application which is dated uh 4726. This package includes plans for the installation of a firm fence to support agricultural activities. The owner believes it would be more efficient and beneficial to all town departments to
develop a master plan for the property rather than proceed on a on a peacemail basis. >> Okay. So, um this is withdrawn. The application is withdrawn. I think we
have uh no uh um further discussion on this item. >> Um no, not at the moment. I just um want to confirm next week that they have stopped even though we signed off on the building permit that they have stopped
putting the fence up. >> Okay. Though they started >> cuz they >> Okay. >> We got to go back out there. Okay. >> I mean, you know.
>> Okay. Next is uh on the agenda is a request for a certificate of compliance at 418 Hot Street. Um looking for a partial certificate of compliance.
Um okay. Uh, okay. Junior, would you state your full name please for the audience? >> Junior De Lima. >> Okay. Uh, and you are requesting a partial
certificate of compliance. Now, we have been out to your property. Um we have talked to you about the material that was installed, the flow into the
uh wetlands that has to be changed. >> Yep. >> The the grading of the of the material and maybe the material itself, >> you know. Um, I've been up there again since since that last time and that
material is I'm going to say pawnmuck uh a lot of clay which I which I said to you right in the very very beginning. Um, pawn pond washer this the engineers have some kind of a name for it. Uh but
we said that if you had a plan that is solid, >> we would be listening to it tonight and maybe issuing you a a partial certificate.
Uh as of now, we have not received any >> we received one item. I'm sorry. >> We did receive an electronic copy >> of >> of a drive uh >> the driveway >> the driveway send you guys a paperwork

>> Yeah my lawyer will take care of that. Okay. So, does he have a plan in place to restore >> the problems? But we don't have the plan. We have to approve the plan. >> You never sent anything to you guys.
>> He sent us the contract, but it wasn't approved by you. >> It got approved. >> What we're looking for is an um we sent everything to your lawyer and told her what? >> Yep. >> We haven't heard back. Uh,
>> I'm going to call. >> Okay. >> Okay. You can call her and what you can do is you can we can continue this if you want until we can talk. >> How many more times is it going to take for >> until it's dead right?
you know, I I mean, you know, we're really trying to work with you and getting this done because I'm sure that you don't want to sell a house and then
things go so badly wrong with the grounds with whatever you get a bad rep and the person buying it doesn't want to go through unnecessary problems. Um what we need is
a plan to solve the problem. One is that grade is so steep that no matter what happens every time it rains it's going to wash right out into the wetlands in the back of of your property as you face the house the back right hand side
you actually got small sink holes developing. Uh, is it because material underneath is is rotty or the material underneath was of
wrong quality? We don't know. >> There's no wrong quality. That's right. Buy the best quality I can. >> We We don't know. We We >> open reopen this and stop it again. >> But that has to be that has to be addressed. And
>> Steve, you say you already talked to you guys. Steve talk to us. But what we were looking for like >> I approve I already give the check for the >> I told >> like he said you guys want to hold this stuff. >> I told require for you guys a partial payment. >> I told I told the attorney Mrs. Sanders
today uh not today when I spoke with her on Monday or Tuesday we spoke >> exactly and it was all in the email what we needed. So you needed an asker route. You basically need to set up
assurance that when you sell, >> right? When is the next >> unless you don't want to sell it yet. >> I mean, >> you know how much money invests us? You guys kill me. You >> You're talking about almost a million dollars out there.
You hold me another project. 14 launch. >> The project has >> I'm going to figure I'm going to my time. >> May 21st. >> May 21st. But >> May 21st. The chairman and I already spoke about this. >> Okay, listen. My lawyer handling this stuff to you.
>> Just listen for a moment, >> Junior. We spoke about this. We We were hoping we could add a meeting for you. We're willing to add a meeting for you. >> We're going out of our way. See these right here?
We don't get paid for anything. >> And you've been 18 how many times? >> A lot. and and we're willing to have an extra meeting >> to give you additional time. >> You guys go for have another meeting and pay you guys for the time and I have no
problem for that. >> Okay. You need a plan that we can accept >> and you need to kill me cuz you're supposed to see the plans because I talked to him yesterday. He tried to call you but he say you off yesterday and it's supposed
to plans cuz I tried call you yesterday but everybody said you off. I was only in in the morning. >> Um, so >> if you know that this stuff's going to happen, I want to be come over here cuz I got surprise. >> Well, everything was outlined. I can
read the email I sent to your lawyer. >> I know the lawyer talk to Steve. Steve, I give it a check. >> But it wasn't just Steve. It was the site work that needs to happen to stabilize the areas above the wetland because right now that site the way it
is graded and it's not stabilized and we've got sink holes. >> You guys see this before? You know this last night? >> Hey, does his attorney have a list? So that list, they can just go right down
that list and then we can have a meeting if they get if they just go down the list, right? >> Yeah. >> Um we were hoping that we could sign off on the driveway, but um >> the driveway don't solve anything. I ask you for guys for partial payment. >> Yeah.
>> The bank going to hold $100,000 hold. What am I going to do? >> You guys going to kill me. The house of most whatever decision you guys decision >> the property has a order of condition. >> If you guys you have a house over there before
you have a house over there have the old s over there. >> You see that they they've got a set of rules that they hold our feet to the fire on. You know what I mean? >> Yeah. >> And we're supposed to >> So if you if you can help with this just >> No, definitely do. But you know How long
they deal this stuff right now? Everything's all set before. Now the last minute. >> It wasn't all set. >> Please. >> I wish. >> Please. That's fine. You do this for everybody in this town. >> It it wasn't. >> I'm the I'm not the only one. >> You're not the only You're not getting
picked on. You had You had conditions. You had things to follow. If it didn't work out, it's not us. >> I don't see you. >> It's not your wife. We'll go over, we'll check it off, and
we'll approve you. >> This is the letter from SFG. And then this is the order. And the order was issued to you when you got your permit, which was back in June of
24. We had four five growing seasons since then where we could have taken care of the wetland related issues but now we have a problem with the slope. Um we are okay with the location of the
driveway. You do not need to move the driveway driveways right here. We did look at the driveway. Tom Ferry and I take the guys do the driveway. You say you okay for the driveway. But anyway, my situation
all can do for a guy partial payment >> for these people moving the house. >> You mean partial certificate of partial? >> That's the need. You guys need to hold some money. I give the check for you guys. >> The lawyer didn't seem to think the partial was going to get you. He's going
to get >> it will the partial will get you the sale. >> Yes. >> Okay. I think we >> we need to talk I think we need to talk to our lawyer a little bit to figure out what our game plan is with it and then
we'll have them communicate. Does that work? >> We don't want to get it let it go too far because then we'll be out of the growing season. The growing season ends June 15th. We want to get this done.
It would have been good if it was done in the fall, >> you know. I I mean, and that material that is there. >> I I don't I don't know what you really call it. It's an awful lot of clay and
uh and I call it pawnmuk. Um I don't know if what's going to grow, if anything, in that. I mean, the other day I was even afraid to walk on it, thinking that there was so much clay that I was gonna slip and break my leg. >> I mean, and then the slope is so is so
steep. Um, you know, you went rogue, you built what you wanted to build and you deviated from the uh the uh the wetland directions, the order of conditions. uh you know I don't know if u if I
should ask you guys if you want to give a a partial certificate of compliance. >> There's a few there's a few things on here that should be prepared to I know I know um
You know, I I mean, uh, we h we have to see what the contractor is going to do. We just can't say, "Hey, go do it." because then he's going to be doing what he wants to do rather than what is going to be in the best interest
of the environment. Now, I know you didn't have much time to get somebody, but uh that's what we had talked about. And like I say, uh uh if we have to meet uh in a couple weeks, that gives you a little more time. And
hey, I'm sorry if uh if someone who wants to buy the house is hindered by it. I I feel bad for them. I really do. Okay. Um let me just uh ask Oh, did you have anything to say? >> All right. >> No. Okay.
Uh, is there is there a motion to issue a partial certificate of compliance or a full certificate of compliance? No motion is made. We will continue your request
and get us the information and we'll work on it. Now, that's going to mean a plan that we can say is going to work. >> That's the one that's >> and and and I don't know if if that
happens if you have to have money into an account, which would probably be in the hands of the lawyer, you know? I mean, if you just say, "Hey, I got the money." Uh, it's not going to cut it. It's going to have to be in someone's hands to deal with this. But
someone someone also has to do the site work. So like Stephen does the plan and the seed I think but he doesn't do >> the work >> right before >> I got a couple companies that can do this. Okay. You told me that >> because right now because if the money
goes if you have a plan and the money goes into the account and we give you the certificate partial that's the partial certificate of compliance you you the house is sold but then those other people are going to have to have the work done but they will take the
money from that account. >> That's what you have to do. The lawyer going to hold >> that's what we're saying. >> That's what he told you. >> That's why I was surprised your lawyer didn't call again. lawyers is already tried calling you pick up the phone. >> No. Well, she didn't leave a message. She didn't >> I call you so many times.
>> She didn't email me back either. >> I'm only part time. I only >> going to hold that market. That's the way you do business. No, take the money go away. That's going to hold the money. You take the bank
you're going to prove. If you don't have the money, you're going to hold the money. Why did they get a partial? >> I I saw that you tried to call me today, but I wanted to talk directly to your lawyer. >> If you guys going to move to May, you're
going to lose the I'm going to lose the bite. >> There's no need for you to do that. Get get your lawyer to talk to >> me and Matt, >> the a lawyer, and and just put the thing together and we'll we'll get the thing
on the the show on the road for you. Did the lawyer try to do? And the lawyer said, "Yeah, absolutely." >> She's she's on time. So, >> I was in the email. >> She emailed me back. Thank you. She received all the information, but then I didn't hear from her again.
>> All right. I'm going to talk to people. >> Okay. A plan and then it's going to have to and a plan which is acceptable because that that grading is going to be cut. Uh I'm sure that a lot of top soil is going to have to I call top something
or other uh that you have there's got to be removed with real low >> swale in the front yard there. It's all silted in >> and those and those sink holes in the back. I I'd like to know what what's what's causing that. >> But we need to get the site stabilized.
That's the biggest issue. That's what we talked about. >> Okay. because that's just going to run over and if that stuff slips and ends up in Hot Street, uh uh people aren't going to be happy campers out there.
Okay. All right. >> Monday's a holiday. >> I'm here with this stuff. I don't want to get all this stuff. position one order 620 25 and another
one 11425 and I would say complaining >> I I don't want to get into >> I know I know >> I don't either but this isn't our fault >> no it's not and I told him that >> it's definitely not my fault for
everything. I realize that >> I can't answer every single call. And he did try to call me yesterday and today, but what am I going to say to him? The same thing I've said over and over again. I can't keep repeating myself. >> Okay. Okay.
>> That that that was very timely. Yeah. >> Okay, let's let's go on. Let's see if we can get uh done with this rather quickly. >> Oh, we have a young gentleman here. Maybe he wants to become part of the commission. >> Needs another job.
>> Um, okay. Enforcement Lewis Street. Lisa, let's go quickly with this so that we can uh get to our >> session. There is no update on that. >> Okay. >> Hot street. We just dealt with um
Main Street. >> We have a restoration plan and they withdrew their application to design a master plan. So that one's on hold. >> Oh, that's right. Okay. So that's Beanie. >> Okay. Well, we have so many zeros. Uh
zero Main Street, zero William Street. Okay. >> You don't know all the map and lots by now. >> Okay. Uh next is uh Maple Swamp Road. >> Uh so I received a request to um basically table this until the next
meeting. >> Okay. Um Horton Zero Horton Street. Now I'm losing track. Which one is this one? >> 10 53. >> Yeah.
>> So So they're uh they have gone built their this the this is the three houses, right? >> Okay. You knew that. Um they've built their basins and their swailes and their check
dams. Um the sites growing in, but there's still some sediment that's escaped into the wetland. Right now, the storm water committee has made them aware and um well, I made them aware and the storm water committee has made them
aware that they're supposed to be monitoring that. Hopefully, it doesn't get any worse and they can maintain their erosion controls. Um I think they probably need to add finish their piping to the lower basin, but um we're going
to keep monitoring that one. >> Okay. Um >> got a new one. >> How street? >> Yeah, that one's a new one. Um they had done some, you know, this is Mr. D. Roza. >> Da. >> Yeah. Um he had done some regrading
along the front and I asked him what he was doing if he could please install some erosion controls. He said he would install them. He was you know it took like a couple weeks. He finally got them in. Um he has hired a wetland scientist and I
guess he's coming up with some plan of some sort. We have yet to see a plan. But >> but we do do we know what he's doing there? >> No. >> No. Is he getting rid of all the wood that's there? >> He did get rid of the wood. Um, a lot of
loose material on top. So, it was a little I was a little concerned with any >> I think his business address is Berkeley. >> Berkeley. >> Yeah, >> he did end up installing the erosion controls. >> Okay. >> He wants me to do a site a site walk to go over his potential plans, but I told
him they don't do that until an application comes in. So, >> okay. Uh other business the meeting minutes. Um >> yeah, >> let's uh go through and and I'll request for approval.
>> Yeah. So what we have is uh Jim and I Jim and I reviewed them. I mocked them up. I have them in my inbox, but there's been a little email issue >> and as modified. Yeah. >> Okay. Um, is there a motion to accept
