I called him too and he says always says to my my therapist says I shouldn't do the conservation meetings. It's too much for me. If he can run a business he doesn't need a business. He'll sell

2

his other business. >> It's two copies. One's for us. Um that's um bills for >> um I don't know if I signed in the right space, but that's okay. >> So we correct Hunter's Hill. Is that

3
00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:26.159
going to go through? We got to continue that. >> Correct. >> Okay. What else you want me to sign? I got I got the front one sign. >> How you doing, Mr. Dro? >> Down here. >> If we don't need it, we can skip. No, we

4
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:43.600
can go it out. Uh, are you guys ready to start soon? >> We're ready to start. >> Give me one second. We're gonna fix a cam here. >> Yeah, let me bring that up. >> Okay, Lisa, >> give me one second. >> Okay,

5
00:01:43.600 --> 00:02:02.240
>> hold on. Let me put my headphones on. >> Okay, guys, turn on live night live mics. >> Okay. Uh, >> give me one second. Please visit a clipboard. >> You're on. >> Okay. This is Don Conservation

6
00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:19.560
Commission meeting uh May 21st, 2026. Calling the meeting open and uh uh this meeting is being broadcast on cable TV. Uh also internet posting on www.dyon-mass.gov

7
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:40.920
and YouTube. Would everyone stand please 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.

8
00:02:42.640 --> 00:02:58.879
>> Okay, I'm going to open the meeting with chairman's address and it's uh uh somewhat excellent news for the commission. Uh back in 2019, we received uh uh first um information about a

9
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:15.200
project that was called Strawberry Fields in Dyton. Uh it turned out to be uh uh when we received the notice of intent uh over 100 houses on Somerset Avenue, the commission after uh 2 or 3

10
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:32.319
years of debating rejected the project. The uh the applicant then uh went to D and appealed it. D overruled the D and Conservation Commission and gave the go ahead to the applicant. Uh we then

11
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:48.000
appealed the decision of the D and we received notification that the courts ruled in favor of the Dyton Conservation Commission and that the project is dead. Uh, next item that I have that I want to

12
00:03:48.000 --> 00:04:03.760
address is uh I have uh American chestnut seedlings. Uh not not as many as last year, but if anyone is interested uh whether you're here or whether uh you are watching it on TV, uh

13
00:04:03.760 --> 00:04:21.280
they will be ready for planting. you can call uh the conservation office and and I will get your number to return your call and um distribute American chestnut seedlings. Uh right now they're about uh

14
00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:38.560
10 12 in high. Um and like I say, I don't have as many as last year, but I do have some. Okay, first on the agenda is uh a notice of intent. It was uh by John Paul Rossi of Zenica. Uh uh is

15
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:55.600
someone here for that or is that being continued? >> They requested a continuance. >> I'm sorry. >> They did request a continue. >> Okay. Uh they requested continuence. Uh is there a motion to continue it to uh June meeting? >> So move. >> Is there a second? Seconded by Jack. All

16
00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:13.360
in favor? >> I. And uh that meeting in June is on uh June 18. Uh the next is uh uh a a hearing. It was an ENRAD

17
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:30.400
for which is a notice of resource area delineation on Kutland Road final number 17-534. Um the applicant has requested a continuance. Is there a motion?

18
00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:50.000
>> So moved. >> Second. >> All in favor? >> I. >> Uh, next on the agenda is another ENRAD uh uh notice of resource area delineation and this one's on William Street, Zero William Street. Uh, they

19
00:05:50.000 --> 00:06:08.960
too have requested a continuence. Is there a motion? >> So moved. Second. >> All in favor? Okay. Uh now we have uh a hearing from Long Built Homes at Hunters Hill LLC um

20
00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:24.240
on Clubhouse Road to construct a single family home with associated clarity and grading file number 17-536. >> Okay. 17 too if you want. That's easier.

21
00:06:24.240 --> 00:07:02.240
>> Good. Thank you. Okay, >> this looks very familiar. >> Okay, yeah, that's the big map. This is the same thing I believe. Well, we just got extra color line in here. Okay, you're on. Identify yourself,

22
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:17.599
please. And >> of course, it's Evan Watson from W Engineering representing the applicants of LBH Hunters Hill LLC. We met here last at your last meeting um and we ended up

23
00:07:17.599 --> 00:07:34.000
continuing uh because we uh the commission wanted to do a sitewalk and we had yet to receive a file number from D. So we here now before you both of those things have happened. We have received a file number from D with no

24
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:51.360
comment from them. And then um earlier this week I met with agent Issa myself and Paul David. I'm sorry. >> Close enough.

25
00:07:51.360 --> 00:08:07.599
>> There we go. Perfect. >> My glasses are dirty. Yeah. Um we took a look at the site. So just to recap, um it's on in Hunter Hill on Clubhouse Drive. Um, this is right kind of at the end of the old section before you get

26
00:08:07.599 --> 00:08:23.360
into the new phase that Longville Homes is uh working on and it's in between two existing houses. Um, so we are in the 100t buffer zone to aw permitted the entire uh or reperated the

27
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:41.839
project as a whole. Um, we were asked to certify this as a vertal pool. So, the 200 ft brings us into the middle of the road. So, that's why we wanted to come talk to the commission about the possibility of actually putting a house here um as previously planned. So, one

28
00:08:41.839 --> 00:08:58.560
of the things we're looking to do is along the 25 ft no touch, we'll add um a hedge row of red oia dogwood uh shrubs. And during the sitewalk, it was suggested we add uh substitute a few of

29
00:08:58.560 --> 00:09:15.440
those for trees. So on the revised plan, I added three uh gray birch trees or otherwise known as popular trees. Um Lisa identified a few of those growing by themselves. So we thought that would be a good addition there. Um, the other

30
00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:32.000
thing we're looking to do is when they constructed the project, there was a a roadway planned to be here on the plan. Um, and to to get there, they built this access road right through here, which is likely the reason why there's standing

31
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:48.320
water there. But they left it with no top soil. It was just all they actually stripped the stock top soil. They left a pile over here, and there was some broken pipes and bits and pieces here and there. So, uh, what we're proposing to do is come in,

32
00:09:48.320 --> 00:10:05.360
add some top soil there, remove the stock piles and any of the debris, and then I found a good seed mix for logging roads. Uh, so it was to basically to reestablish vegetation on something that was used for a road historically. Um, if

33
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:21.040
we add some top soil, then I expect the other species that are there to actually be able to move in and take foot, which they're not able to do. There's some grasses there, but it's really not that great cuz there's no top there. So, that's in a nutshell. Uh, we took

34
00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:37.519
input uh during the field walk. I've incorporated that into the other plan. I'm open to any other questions or comments you might have. >> Okay. I don't know if if anyone here is for this project. Anyone here? to view the project. Well, let me just say we

35
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:55.600
were there uh this week and we viewed it and they're going to essentially rehab what had been disturbed and then the uh 25 ft no touch zone will be reestablished where it was disturbed. The construction of the home will be uh

36
00:10:55.600 --> 00:11:13.200
outside of the 50ft no build zone. Uh and then the yard work is done. And not that I mean essentially you're saying that but I just want to tell the people here are watching that we have been uh uh onsite uh uh viewing everything. Now

37
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:30.399
I don't know uh Dave uh do you have any questions cuz you were there with us. >> No I I mean I I think Evan's doing the right thing. He's off sitting, you know, adding the extra trees, you know, and and, you know, reestablishing that that destroyed that

38
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:47.040
pathway that goes through there to reestablish that as as buffer zone and um to to plant native shrubbery and and other plants. Um, >> I have a question. >> Um, when's the long-term maintenance of

39
00:11:47.040 --> 00:12:04.800
that path? So, it's in the open space and the long-term maintenance is to have it not be a path anymore. So, um obviously we'd have to make sure that the seed took off. Um I think we talked about conditioning it so that that work would be done in the fall in the

40
00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:21.680
non-migratory season. >> Um so, we have a very good uh chance for that seed to take up on its own. Um if it doesn't obviously we come back and repair it for because it'll be under we'll have to get a certificate of compliance rather. So once that takes

41
00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:38.240
hold the idea is to not go in there anymore and let whatever kind of vegetation that's around there start to creep in and go back to being wood. >> But that that will be done before the construction of the house because you don't want to run equipment through through the um

42
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:55.360
>> well no what we >> construction zone. I think what we'll plan on doing is we have the wetland mitigation area back here. Um that requires a little bit of work to be done in the fall also, some replanting, etc. Um so once we're there, we can access

43
00:12:55.360 --> 00:13:10.639
that from back here or from over here. But but I expect that if and again I'm not exactly sure what the timing is but um I would prefer not to have a condition that this has to be done before the house

44
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:25.839
>> concurren I okay >> currently or definitely compliance >> right right >> yeah and the other thing we talked about just so be aware is like to include the wetland scientist that was involved with

45
00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:44.639
>> I know we we just Brian too. >> Sounds good. >> Yeah, cuz he'll be out there looking at this. So, >> everything will go together. It >> kind of all goes together. >> Okay. Any questions from the audience?

46
00:13:44.639 --> 00:14:04.399
Okay. Is there a motion? >> So, move. >> Wait. So, we got to have a motion to to accept the project. Motion to accept the project on Hunters Hill. >> Oh, I'll second. >> Lot 127.

47
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:24.639
>> Lot 27. Yeah, we got 127. >> Yeah, we got we have we have several items that we're dealing with. Okay. Um Okay. All right. That's uh Yeah. Lot lot 127. Is that H or is that two? >> H.

48
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:40.959
>> H. Okay. Um All right. So that that motion was made to accept the project as designed. Uh and there's a second. >> Okay. Uh any further discussion? >> The only other discussion I just wanted for the record was to let you know that

49
00:14:40.959 --> 00:14:57.839
there was an alternatives analysis done on this. Um and you have a copy in your email. I didn't know having >> I brought a paper copy here. >> Great. Um, basically it was just to the bylaw allows you to wave certain

50
00:14:57.839 --> 00:15:14.079
performance standards so long as uh the four criteria are met that there was no reasonable alternative that we avoid, minimize and mitigate that the project provides benefit to public interest and the project is otherwise in compliance with the bylaw. So I just did a

51
00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:30.240
narrative to demonstrate it's all the things that we've talked about. >> I think I just put it in I believe I have that. >> Okay. Um, yes. Okay. Uh, mo motion made and seconded.

52
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:45.199
>> All in favor? >> I Okay. Yes. >> Thank you very much. >> I have three weeks to issue the orders. So, uh, just give me a little time and if I don't get it to you in two weeks, just follow up. But, we're working on

53
00:15:45.199 --> 00:16:01.519
it. >> Okay. Uh, next on the agenda is a notice of intent application from Heritage Realy, 2161 Wheeler Street to construct a single family home uh, deck and driveway. The work includes the installation of water

54
00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:17.600
services, septic system, utilities, and associated uh, clearing and grade. File number 17. Lisa, you have a phone number. >> Yeah, we do have a phone number, Peter. >> 538. 7538.

55
00:16:17.600 --> 00:17:09.520
538. Okay. Let's see. Okay. Yes. Um Okay. Uh there we are. Okay. How you got? Okay.

56
00:17:09.520 --> 00:17:36.960
Slide it over. Do you want to hold you a little bit? >> He doesn't have I don't I don't know. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Okay, you're on. >> Okay, >> you are. >> Uh, good evening. My name is Peter Lavoy. I work with Landmark Site Design.

57
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:53.919
Uh, we we're out of Taton, Mass. Um we're here tonight representing Heritage Realy who is out of Rahobit. Um so uh there is a vacant lot on Wheeler Street. Wheeler Street runs along the bottom of the page here. Um it was just recently

58
00:17:53.919 --> 00:18:10.960
subdivided from a larger piece um probably 2 months ago uh with the planning board. Um so the existing lot is roughly um 50,000 square ft. Um the lot size in this zone is only 25,000. Um

59
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:29.520
but um they wanted a 50,000 square foot lot. Um it is vacant. Uh there was a wetland flag in the back right corner in this location here uh by AES. Um so what we're proposing to do um is

60
00:18:29.520 --> 00:18:45.039
single family house in this location here. front entry driveway coming off a Wheeler. Septic system in this location here as far as way we put it as far as we could away from the wetlands. Septic

61
00:18:45.039 --> 00:19:02.480
systems 15 ft away from the wetland. Um the proposed house, the closest point is 64 ft from the wetland. Um water service will come in off a Wheeler and tie into uh the new house. Um the dark green as

62
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:20.080
you see is uh the limit of work and the small orange line that wraps around will be erosion control which I proposed uh filter sock and uh silk fence. We are proposing a construction entrance at the

63
00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:37.919
front so the road doesn't get muddy. Um we have uh no disturbance within your 25 foot and then the red line is the 50 foot no building and then the blue line uh is the 100t buffer.

64
00:19:37.919 --> 00:19:53.200
Um >> where's the river on uh I I know it's not on the site itself but but the uh is the where is this in relationship to the segregans river? >> I'm not 100% on that river. Oh, way way

65
00:19:53.200 --> 00:20:08.960
off to the way off to the east. Okay. All right. That's I assume that was it. >> Yeah. The weather person didn't say Anthony in his report about >> But it is a BBW. So >> Okay. BW. >> Um Lisa informed me that I have to add

66
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:26.640
plaques to the plan along your 25 ft. They are not shown on the plan. So I will do that. >> Yep. Okay. >> And if everybody's amendable, the site is relatively flat. So, I would say skip the silk fence alto together because in my opinion, professional opinion,

67
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:43.760
they hardly ever get installed properly and they just cause more issues. >> Okay. >> So, if you could just take that off and just keep the filter met. >> Y >> um and then the goal is obviously to leave that 25 ft buffer. So,

68
00:20:43.760 --> 00:20:59.360
>> um if there's any way you can locate the erosion controls a little further from that 25T buffer. So, we're not right against it. >> Okay. Yeah, I think roughly now I'm probably um 5T off it, but I can I can move it a little bit. Right now, we're

69
00:20:59.360 --> 00:21:14.960
the total disturbance of the lot would is roughly 22,000 square ft out of the 50. And we preserved, you know, we preserved a nice buffer along the right hand side near the wetland cuz there's really no need to go over there. So, we kept the

70
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:31.679
buffer to um the butter on the right. >> No. Is is it a a raised septic system or >> It is a raised septic. Yes. Yep. >> So, I wonder if this is >> Yeah. Ground water pump. >> No, no pump because it's new construction. It's all gravity. >> Okay.

71
00:21:31.679 --> 00:21:48.799
>> But the the structure is, you know, is out of the ground. I think groundwater was only like 2 ft >> or 30 in from what I'm saying. I can tell. Um, >> so is a raised foundation or is it a

72
00:21:48.799 --> 00:22:07.520
slab? >> No, it's a full foundation. It's going to be a walk out in the back. So, we won't be doing much grading in the backyard. It's just the front yard will be raised because of the the ground. >> Okay. >> On this driveway, you're showing a

73
00:22:07.520 --> 00:22:24.400
construction entrance, but what's the uh what's the finished driveway? Is that uh paved asphalt? Impervious. >> Yes. Yep. >> Imperous. Pervious. >> Correct. Impervious. >> Impervious. >> We do show We also do show a stockpile

74
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:40.880
area in the front front right corner within the the limit of work. >> And then what do you propose to do with the roof front off? >> Uh right now I'm just proposing to let it run. So >> no gutters or gutters? Oh, no. There'll

75
00:22:40.880 --> 00:23:07.480
be gutters and then it'll go just down into flow. >> Cheap flow. >> This side's not highly erodable, right? It's >> No, it's very flat. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You have any questions, Jack? >> No. this stuff

76
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:23.600
>> about elevation difference. So, I'm just wondering, I mean, if you got if you got a storm and the roof leaders are are running down, even if the the lot is dead level, uh, you know, it could, uh, make some

77
00:23:23.600 --> 00:23:46.679
sort of an erosion, you may want to have something under the leaders just to kind of diffuse it a little bit. >> Okay. Do >> we have any any other questions? >> Any questions from the audience?

78
00:23:46.960 --> 00:24:02.640
Um, I know you you don't work around in town a lot, but I just want to let you know like when they go to apply for the building permit. If the erosion controls are not already installed and the file number isn't up and we haven't had a pre-construction meeting, then I'm going

79
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:18.559
to put it on hold until we >> Okay. No, I I'll let that's good to know. Thank you. Y >> So, you want all the erosion control in >> with the D sign up before they apply for the building permit. >> Yeah. and the D sign can't get a fixed to a tree. So there'll be specific orders

80
00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:34.720
>> in in the order conditions >> be recorded. >> Okay. Okay. As long as it's in the order conditions, then we will follow that. >> Sounds good. >> Okay. We all set then. Uh is there a motion? >> Well, if you guys are going to accept

81
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:51.600
the plan, it would have to be with the revisions that we've asked for. >> Well, yeah, that that that would just become part of the order of conditions. Yeah. >> Well, I mean, I need um I need a plan a revised plan with a plan date >> for that order. So, we just have to like

82
00:24:51.600 --> 00:25:07.200
explicitly say >> Okay. Yeah. Okay. We're looking for a motion then to accept the plan with the revisions on a new >> site plan. Add adding the placards.

83
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:23.200
>> Yeah. >> Um adding um >> getting rid of the silk fence. getting rid of the soap plant >> and then adding rip I could add some kind of rip wrap at the end of the down spouts where they discharge and I'll show the locations on the plan.

84
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:40.360
>> Is that good? >> Sounds good. >> And then if you could add more to the strip where the control is going to be. >> Okay. If I move it a little bit away, move it like another five five. So you're like 10 ft off the >> If you can. >> Okay.

85
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:59.039
Thank you. >> All right. Uh is there a motion as just described? >> I make a motion to uh ex accept it going to the suggestions that we made. >> Okay. Commissions.

86
00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:17.200
>> Okay. Is there a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? I >> Okay, you're all set. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> I wanted to give you these, too. >> Yes. >> Thank you. And just give us a little

87
00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:35.120
card. >> No problem. You need my plan anyways. So, >> thank you. >> Okay. >> Okay. Massic is on next. Oh, that's where this gang is from. I knew I saw somebody sparking over

88
00:26:35.120 --> 00:26:54.799
there and I wasn't sure. Okay. >> You ready? >> I'm ready. Okay. >> Uh, so my name is Olivia Shaw. I'm here representing Massachusetts Electric Company. >> Oh, I wasn't that that quick. Your name is >> Olivia Shaw. >> Okay. >> Uh, representing Massachusetts Electric

89
00:26:54.799 --> 00:27:11.520
Company for the installation of a small section of gravel access road that's going to be used within an existing utility right ofway to access a small pole storage area. And so the pool storage area is actually going to be located over the border in Rahobath, but there is a small section of the access road that's in Dyton and that's within

90
00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:27.919
the 100 foot buffer zone. So that's why we're here today. Um, so the gravel road is going to be established on top of an existing historically used access road. So currently the material is sort of a mix of native soils and historic fill that's been compacted. Um, so the

91
00:27:27.919 --> 00:27:43.520
drainage characteristics of the new access road, the infiltration grates, all of that will be very similar to what's currently there. Um, and they are proposing to install a 16 ft wide travel surface um, with a temporary limit of disturbance of about 24 ft wide just to

92
00:27:43.520 --> 00:27:58.960
install erosion controls and allow for the grading um, and excavation around the sides of where the gravel's going to go. Um, and so to talk a little bit about the uh, procedures during construction. So, we're going to start by flagging the wetlands, refflging them to make sure

93
00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:14.399
that all work occurs outside of wetland areas. Um, then some limited vegetation management will happen. So, that includes the mowing of the grass within the rightway. Um, which is already a disturbed area. So, it'll just be a little bit more mowing. Um, and then we will install sediment and erosion

94
00:28:14.399 --> 00:28:31.120
controls and we'll do an environmental training with my company just to make sure that everything is up to snuff. Um, and then there'll be grading. They'll add the clean stone, crushed stone or gravel. Um, and then they will stabilize the areas using straw mulch as needed and seeding. Um, if it isn't growing

95
00:28:31.120 --> 00:28:46.720
back on its own. Um, and then we'll monitor it and once everything is stable and doesn't pose an erosion risk, will remove the sediment and erosion controls. Um, and there might be some stockpiling during construction just from the excavation. So, those will be surrounded by erosion controls and put

96
00:28:46.720 --> 00:29:03.600
on top of geoteexile fabric um, and monitored to make sure that nothing is running off into the adjacent wetlands. Thank you for everything and I'm happy to take any questions. >> Uh you said the access is going to be from Rehov. >> Um it's coming off of Chestnut Street.

97
00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:20.000
So it's um I have a visual. So it's coming off of Chestnut Street through the rightway. Um >> I'm familiar with >> Okay. And then it's this is an established access road. So no work is occurring there. is just this small

98
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:38.559
section here and then that's going through over the town line and into the full storage area in >> okay not not to be redundant but u what are you stockpiling or what are you setting up in Dyton are you setting up

99
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:55.840
uh battery storage are you setting up any type of uh equipment uh that uh transformers or any of just br >> Yeah, it's just going to be a small section of gravel access road over an existing access road that just doesn't

100
00:29:55.840 --> 00:30:11.679
just Yeah. And then for the portion in Rahobitis, it's also just going to be a gravel pad and that's all that's being installed. >> Is it just for like staging purposes? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> So, you must have had like some issues when you guys did the upgrades recently

101
00:30:11.679 --> 00:30:25.760
maybe. >> Um I think this is I I'm not I'm not sure what Yeah. Yeah. Was your question answered when you and you asked it was for battery storage? >> She said no.

102
00:30:25.760 --> 00:30:42.320
>> Okay. Yeah. >> Said no. That was >> storage. Just pole storage. >> Yeah. It's just maintenance of >> Okay. >> I know they're going over some of the lines. >> Yes. >> I don't know if they're different ins,

103
00:30:42.320 --> 00:30:59.360
but they're working in different areas doing a lot of that. I think they were on this line. Um and that might be why they decided on this area. So they did. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh any questions? Any more

104
00:30:59.360 --> 00:31:19.200
questions here? >> Any questions from the audience? Is there a motion to approve the notice of intent? Does that mean there's no motion or

105
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:41.919
>> uh I make a motion that we accept the notice of intent for mass electric discuss. >> Is there a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> Okay. Just give me a little time for the

106
00:31:41.919 --> 00:32:27.679
order. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Do you want to keep this? Okay. We have uh >> no we have no request for certificate of compliance. Okay. Under enforcement

107
00:32:27.679 --> 00:32:49.519
orders etc. Uh 418 Hot Street. Uh Lisa. Okay. We shall I just uh discuss what was said uh on that. Uh we are >> Yes, please do. >> You want you want me to do it? I can outline it.

108
00:32:49.519 --> 00:33:06.480
>> Um the the enforcement audit is for the applicant not following instructions and altering a situation which uh could uh could impede uh neighboring activity. uh

109
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:24.880
also uh siltation in the in the um lung area and uh material that was that is probably not good for Phil. Um, we have been in contact with the

110
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:42.480
applicant's uh attorney and um I know the board of health is involved and they have they are doing um some type of activity with the applicant and uh as of right

111
00:33:42.480 --> 00:34:01.760
now uh we are still waiting to hear more from the lawyer. there and to have a an engineer and or contractor show plans to remedy the situation

112
00:34:01.760 --> 00:34:19.200
before it and have it approved whatever the plan is so that the neighborhood is not uh put in turmoil. I don't know if you want to Lisa if you want to say anything else. >> Yeah. Um I think for the record we should

113
00:34:19.200 --> 00:34:35.919
read um Jason the Shadows emails. He wasn't able to be here, but he started emailing me on April 23rd.

114
00:34:35.919 --> 00:34:51.919
So, who wants to read them? Me. >> Um >> I hate Can someone else read them? Does anyone else want to?

115
00:34:51.919 --> 00:35:07.119
>> Now, what is this? Now, this this email is from >> uh the neighbor Jason Mashado. He um he lives directly right next door. >> Uh west side or east side? >> West.

116
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:26.480
>> Okay. >> I Is it sending This is the one sending in pictures? >> Yeah. Um >> uh and these uh this email has that been sent to his attorney? Correct. >> Yes, it was. >> And the pictures have been sent to the

117
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:46.200
attorney. >> Yes. >> Okay. So that um >> and there was a recent one too. So let me just sent an email. You can read it. Read that one from today. Yes. Very helpful.

118
00:35:50.880 --> 00:36:16.560
I have it right here. >> Yeah, I got it. >> Okay, good. >> This was sent at 5:19 today. Hi, Lisa. This is from Jason Mashado. Thank you for sending me the updates of the meeting time. Unfortunately, I am

119
00:36:16.560 --> 00:36:32.720
out of town on business. I took your advice and watched the last town meeting with Mr. De Lima continuing to complain while he continues to do whatever he wants. After this meeting is when he had

120
00:36:32.720 --> 00:36:48.160
over 20 truckloads of loom delivered, making his land several feet higher and dumping even more water onto my property. During the video, I did not see any mention of him needing to lower

121
00:36:48.160 --> 00:37:05.040
his grade back to original grade that was adjacent to my land. My question for the town of Dyton is number one, when is this happening? Number two, why is he being allowed to make these things

122
00:37:05.040 --> 00:37:21.040
worse, not better? And neither the conservation committee nor the building commissioner is stopping him from doing so. Number three, will I be to have Peter Selenino

123
00:37:21.040 --> 00:37:38.560
to contact the town attorney? This has been many months now, and while I appreciate your efforts, I am asking for a resolution in regards to the matter pertaining to the water that is pouring onto my land without recourse. Please

124
00:37:38.560 --> 00:37:54.880
advise. Thanks, Jason Mashado. Okay. These uh this letter as well as photographs have been forwarded to his lawyer. >> This letter was not the photographs in the previous email was >> previously. Okay. That's right. It came

125
00:37:54.880 --> 00:38:11.599
in what uh after hours tonight. >> I'll send this over to Matt Bill. >> Okay. All right. Okay. >> And um uh the so what he's doing is breaking the enforcement order um with all this

126
00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:29.119
new fill coming in and we will not address a certificate of compliance until we have a satisfactory plan to remedy the situation. >> Well, we we also need his his engineer

127
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:43.359
to step up and get >> Well, that's what I'm saying. We need we need a satisfactory plan >> plan of action >> and then and then it has to be done before he he can get a certificate of compliance.

128
00:38:43.359 --> 00:39:01.359
>> So there's a lot to be done and u on his part uh he has made it appears as though he's made it worse by this further filling bringing in fill because the grade right now is um unacceptable.

129
00:39:01.359 --> 00:39:16.400
Yeah. And I mean, >> and I have not I have not seen it after this new load has been brought in. >> I've driven by a couple times and it it is very noticeable, especially where especially where the septic system is. You know how you know how the pipe is

130
00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:32.560
you know how the pipe is leaning? >> It's it's it's upright straight now, but it's got to be a good I want to say 8 to 12 in more height. So I can understand that email, >> but the the land as it goes to uh on

131
00:39:32.560 --> 00:39:48.960
each side of the house, it's still um wetlands in those areas that that should control the water. Am I am I correct? >> Yeah. But you know, >> the grade is the grade's going to be >> there's there's many issues there.

132
00:39:48.960 --> 00:40:06.640
>> I know. I know. And this is what this is why he needs either well an engineer and a botist to to develop a plan to rectify the problem. >> We also have to take into consideration apparently there's been changes that

133
00:40:06.640 --> 00:40:22.960
have been requested by the board of health since they made their final inspection. So, I don't know if what he was doing was in response to that >> to the board of health, >> but um I don't want to see 10 ft more filled there.

134
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:39.760
>> No. Shouldn't we have been notified? I mean, you know, >> we did get an email from the board of health. It's right there. But I mean, still a change. It's a major change to the plan. Well,

135
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:56.400
>> what >> if he didn't if he hadn't uh changed his idea of the plan >> that Phil never would have been needed, >> right? I mean, we we had a a plan in

136
00:40:56.400 --> 00:41:16.240
place that that would have um I think worked satisfactorily for the builder and the neighbors, but it wasn't followed. Okay. Um so we are right now awaiting

137
00:41:16.240 --> 00:41:32.800
um to hear from the attorney and hopefully from u uh an engineer and uh to develop a plan to rectify the situation. Main Street Lisa

138
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:47.920
>> um Main Street has been back in touch with us. I put it on there to see if there's any updates on the planting that they propose to do. Um they said there's right now they're in the middle of

139
00:41:47.920 --> 00:42:03.920
developing overall site plan. So they aren't implementing their mitigation plan. Um they requested a continuence to the next meeting. >> They don't really need a continuence. We just wanted to know the status of that

140
00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:24.400
plan. So I can respond and ask them explicitly what the status is of the planting plant. Um the restoration plan. >> Okay. Uh we all set? >> Yeah. >> Naval Swamp Road.

141
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:54.240
>> Is anyone here? Oh, great. >> Thank you for coming in. You're welcome. How you doing? Robert. >> Okay. Now, okay, Lisa, this is um >> this is one of you want to see when you get planted. Right. Exactly.

142
00:42:54.240 --> 00:43:09.040
>> Good way to put it. >> Yes. >> What a good way to put it. Well, well, where it's a cup. Is that money? >> Huh? >> Is that money? >> All right. Okay. >> Um, so you should have it here.

143
00:43:09.040 --> 00:43:24.319
>> The BSC report. >> Okay. All right. >> Um, so do you want to just give us this? I didn't know if they would be coming, but here. >> No, he couldn't make it this. >> Okay. You have a copy? Yeah, >> you can just give us a keep it under five minute summary.

144
00:43:24.319 --> 00:43:43.520
>> Yeah. Uh, okay. This was a area that uh um you said was there ahead of time, but aerial photography showed that it wasn't or whatever. And you have >> and we hired BSE Engineering. Yeah. >> Firm that originally did it 26 years ago

145
00:43:43.520 --> 00:44:00.480
>> came out with a with a wetland scientist and they surveyed the property and this and the report is right there. >> Okay. All right. I don't know where aerial photography uh uh where that fits in, but uh Lisa, >> it's it's in here. It's in the report.

146
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:16.560
>> Okay. >> So, they did they did provide us with um a response, which is what we need. We need documentation. >> Okay. So, so that means they're all set then really. >> Uh well, except for the seating. But did you want to just give a quick thumb? >> Yeah, we just wanted they they recommended that we have Okay. And don't

147
00:44:16.560 --> 00:44:32.560
take me yet. >> Don't worry. We'll reserve it. >> So they just recommended that we hydro seed with the proper seating and then the wetland scientist will provide us what seed to put in what areas and we're

148
00:44:32.560 --> 00:44:48.000
willing to hydro seed the whole area. >> Yeah. Yes. I >> Yeah, >> I remember that. That Okay. All right. So, and that's getting Oh, did did did you seat it already or >> No, just waiting. We're waiting. We I I emailed Lisa to find out and she recommended I hire somebody. So I hired

149
00:44:48.000 --> 00:45:04.240
somebody and they recommended, you know, to have a seated, but we had a seat. >> Yeah, they have they have a seat mix in that ladder. So yeah, just let's just go >> just do that. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So I guess you'll be all set then. >> Thank you for that motion. >> Thank you so much.

150
00:45:04.240 --> 00:45:17.920
>> All right. And you're welcome. Hope you enjoyed yourself so far. >> Okay. Um Park Avenue. Uh yeah, no one's here for park. Oh,

152
00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:52.400
in the river and they're working on a dock without a permit from us or D. So >> okay well now depending upon what they have not only D but also AM core

00:45:52.400 --> 00:46:09.760
>> or D forward it to army core. >> Yeah I mean this there definitely >> Okay. So that's being taken care of by D. >> Well no it's not being taken care of by anyone. I have I have to notify they should know that they're in violation

154
00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:24.880
because they obviously built the dock. Right. Did you remember ever permitting a dog there? >> No. >> Oh. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> All right. So, there. All right. So, um >> I'm going to have to write him a letter.
