Part: 1

1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:14.799
You're on. >> Okay. This Bon Conservation Commission meeting uh May 21st, 2026 calling the meeting uh open and uh uh this meeting is being broadcast on cable

2
00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:36.480
TV. Uh also internet posting on www.dyon-mass.gov and YouTube. Would everyone stand please alge to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God,

3
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:56.079
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Okay, I'm going to open the meeting with chairman's address and it's uh uh somewhat uh excellent news for the commission. Uh back in 2019, we received

4
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:12.000
uh uh first um information about a project that was called Strawberry Fields in Dyon. Uh it turned out to be uh uh when we received the notice of intent. Uh over 100 houses on Somerset

5
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:28.880
Avenue, the commission after uh 2 or 3 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

6
00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:46.320
ahead to the applicant. Uh we then 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.

7
00:01:46.320 --> 00:02:04.719
Uh, next item that I have that I want to 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

8
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:22.160
they will be ready for planting. you can call uh the conservation office and and I will get your number to uh return your call and um distribute American chestnut seedlings. Uh right now they're about uh

9
00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:39.440
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

10
00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:56.480
someone here for that or is that being continued? >> They requested a continuance. >> I'm sorry. >> They did request a continuance. >> Okay. They request the continuance. Uh is there a motion to continue it to uh June meeting? >> So move. >> Is there a second? Seconded by Jack. All

11
00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:14.319
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

12
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:31.280
for which is in a notice of resource area delineation on Kutland Road file number 17-534. Um the applicant has requested a continuence. Is there a motion?

13
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:50.879
>> 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

14
00:03:50.879 --> 00:04:09.920
too have requested a continuence. Is there a motion? >> So moved. Okay. >> All in favor? Okay. Uh now we have uh a hearing from Long Built Homes at Hunters Hill LLC um

15
00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:25.199
on Clubhouse Road to construct a single family home with associated clarity and grading file number 17-536. >> Okay. I love you by 17s too if you want. That's easier. Good.

16
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:52.440
>> Good. Thank you. Okay, >> this looks very familiar. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh yeah, that's the big map. This is the same thing. Uh I believe Well, this has got extra color line in here.

17
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:15.919
Okay, you're on. Identify yourself, please. And >> of course, it's Evan Watson from W Engineering representing the applicants. Um, LBH Hunters Hill LLC. We met here last

18
00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:31.759
at your last meeting um and we ended up continuing uh because we uh the commission wanted to do a sidewalk 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

19
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:48.080
received a file number from D with no comment from them. And then earlier this week, I met with a Lisa, myself, and Paul,

20
00:05:48.080 --> 00:06:04.800
David. I'm sorry. >> Close enough. >> 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

21
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:20.319
right kind of at the end of the old section before you get into the new phase that Longdale Homes is uh working on and it's in between two existing houses. Um, so we are in the 100t buffer zone to aw

22
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:36.560
permitted the entire uh or reperated the project as a whole. Um, we were asked to certify this as a a vernal 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

23
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:51.039
possibility of actually putting a house here um as previously planned. So one of the things we're looking to do is along the 25 ft no touch we'll add um a hedge

24
00:06:51.039 --> 00:07:08.479
row of red oia dogwood uh shrubs. And during the sitewalk, it was suggested we add uh substitute a few of those for trees. So on the revised plan, I added three uh gray birch trees or otherwise known as popular trees. Um Lisa

25
00:07:08.479 --> 00:07:25.599
identified a few of those growing by themselves. So we thought that would be a good addition there. Um, the other thing we're looking to do is when they constructed the project, there was a a roadway planned to be here on the plan.

26
00:07:25.599 --> 00:07:42.080
Um, and to to get there, they built this access road right through here, which is likely the reason why there's standing 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

27
00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:58.400
pipes and bits and pieces here and there. So, uh, what we're proposing to do is come in, add some top soil there, remove the stock piles and any of the debris, and then I found a good seed mix for lodging

28
00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:14.400
roads. Um, so it was to basically to reestablish vegetation on something that was used for a road historically. If 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.

29
00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:30.560
There's some grasses there, but it's really not that great cuz there's no top shelf. So, that's in a nutshell. Uh, we took 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.

30
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:48.080
>> Okay. I don't know if if anyone here is for this project. Anyone here have to view the project? Well, let me just say we were there uh this week and reviewed it and they're going to essentially rehab what had been disturbed and then

31
00:08:48.080 --> 00:09:04.880
the uh 25 ft no touch zone will be reestablished where it was disturbed. The construction of the home will be uh outside of the 50ft no build zone. Uh and then the yard work is done. And not that I mean essentially you're saying

32
00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:21.920
that but I just want to tell the people here are watching that we have been uh uh onsite uh uh viewing everything. Now I don't know uh Dave uh do you have any questions because you were there with us? >> No I I mean I I think Evan's doing the

33
00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:38.000
right thing. He's offsetting, you know, adding the extra trees, you know, and and you know, I think it's reestablishing that that destroyed that pathway that goes through there to reestablish that as as buffer zone and

34
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:53.760
um to to plant native shrubbery and and other plants. Um >> I have a question. >> Um what is the long-term maintenance of that path? So, it's in the open space and the long-term maintenance is to have

35
00:09:53.760 --> 00:10:11.360
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 non-migratory season. >> Um so, we have a very good uh chance for

36
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:27.600
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 hold the idea is to not go in there anymore and let whatever kind of

37
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:44.399
vegetation that's around there start to creep in and go back to being wood. that that will be done before the construction of the house because you don't want to run equipment through through the um >> well no what we >> construction zone >> I think what we'll plan on doing is we

38
00:10:44.399 --> 00:11:01.120
have the wetland mitigation area back here um that requires >> there's a little bit of work to be done in the fall also some replanting etc um so once we're there we can access that from back here or from over here but

39
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:18.160
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 >> concurren I okay >> concurrently or definitely before you get a certificate of compliance

40
00:11:18.160 --> 00:11:33.920
>> right >> yeah and the other thing we talked about just so aware is like to include the wetland scientist that was involved with >> I know we Brian's entire >> sounds good. >> Yeah, cuz he'll be out there looking at this. So,

41
00:11:33.920 --> 00:11:53.680
>> everything will go together. It >> kind of all goes together. >> Okay. Any questions from the audience? Okay. Is there a motion? So, move. Wait. So, we got to have a

42
00:11:53.680 --> 00:12:10.160
motion to to accept the project. Motion to accept the project on Hunters Hill. >> Oh, I'll second. >> Lot 127. >> Lot 27. I'm sorry. 127. >> Yeah, we got we have we have several

43
00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:31.120
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. >> H. Okay. Um All right. So that that motion was made to accept the project as

44
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:48.160
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 there was an alternative analysis done on this. Um and you have a copy in your

45
00:12:48.160 --> 00:13:04.000
email. I didn't know anyone. >> I brought a paper copy here. >> Great. Um, basically it was just to the bylaw allows you to wave certain performance standards so long as uh the four criteria are met that there was no

46
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:20.560
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 bylaws. So I just did a narrative to demonstrate it's all the things that we've talked about. >> I think just putting I believe I have

47
00:13:20.560 --> 00:13:36.480
that. >> Okay. Um, yes. Okay. Uh, mo motion made and seconded. >> All in favor? >> I Okay. >> Yes. Thank you very much.

48
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:53.040
>> We have three weeks to issue the orders. So, um, 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 it. >> Okay. Uh, next on the agenda is a notice of intent application from Heritage

49
00:13:53.040 --> 00:14:07.839
Realy, 2161 Wheeler Street to construct a single family home uh, deck and driveway. The work includes the installation of water services, septic system, utilities, and associated uh, clearing and grading aid.

50
00:14:07.839 --> 00:14:26.160
File number 17. Alisa, you have a phone number. >> Yeah, we do have a phone number. Peter >> 538 7 17 538 >> 538 Okay, let's see. Okay. Yes. Um Okay. Uh

51
00:14:26.160 --> 00:15:26.600
which there we are. Okay. I got Okay. You want to slide over the other? >> Can you help you a little bit? >> He doesn't have to. >> Okay.

52
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:43.360
>> Yeah. Okay. You're on. >> Okay. >> You are. >> Uh, good evening. My name is Peter Lavoy. I work with Landmark Site Design. Uh we we're out of Taton, Mass. Um we're here tonight representing Heritage Realy

53
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:59.519
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 subdivided from a larger piece um probably 2 months

54
00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:17.680
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 but um they wanted a 50,000 square ft lot. Um it is vacant.

55
00:16:17.680 --> 00:16:33.040
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 single family house in this location

56
00:16:33.040 --> 00:16:49.839
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 systems 15 ft away from the wetland. Um

57
00:16:49.839 --> 00:17:07.439
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 you see is uh the limit of work and the

58
00:17:07.439 --> 00:17:26.319
small orange line that wraps around will be erosion control which I proposed uh filter sock and uh soap fence. We are proposing a construction entrance at the front so the road doesn't get muddy. Um

59
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:42.320
we have uh no disturbance within your 25 ft and then the red line is the 50ft no building and then the blue line uh is the 100t buffer. Um >> where's the river on uh I I know it's

60
00:17:42.320 --> 00:17:59.440
not on the site itself but but the uh is the where is this in relationship to the Sigraans River? >> I'm not 100% on that. Okay. So, it's >> the river, isn't it? >> Oh, way way off to the way off to the east. Okay. All right. That's I assume that was a short.

61
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:14.960
>> Yeah. The weather person didn't say Anthony in his report about >> But it is a DVW. >> Okay. BW. >> Um Lisa informed me that I have to add plaques to the plan along your 25 ft. They are not shown on the plan. So, I

62
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:29.679
will do that. >> Yeah. Okay. >> And if everybody's a medical, the site is relatively flat. So, I would say skip the silk fence alto together because in my opinion, professional opinion, they hardly ever get installed properly

63
00:18:29.679 --> 00:18:46.559
and they just cause more issues. >> Okay. >> So, if you could just take that off and just keep the filter met. >> Y >> and then the goal is obviously to leave that 25 ft buffer. So, >> um, if there's any way you can locate

64
00:18:46.559 --> 00:19:04.160
the erosion controls a little further from that 25 ft buffer so we're not right against it. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I think roughly now I'm probably um 5 ft off it, but I can I can move it a little bit. Right now, we're the total disturbance of the lot is roughly 22,000

65
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:21.840
square feet out of the 50. And we preserved, you know, we preserved a nice buffer along the right hand side near the wetland because there's really no need to go over there. So, we kept the buffer to um the butter on the right. >> No. Is is it a a raised septic system or

66
00:19:21.840 --> 00:19:36.960
>> It is a raised septic. Yes. Yep. >> Tell us if this is >> Yeah. Ground sort of a pump. >> No. No pump because it's new construction. It's all gravity. >> Okay. >> But the the structure is, you know, is out of the ground. Uh, I think

67
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:53.919
groundwater was only like 2 feet >> or 30 in from what I'm saying. I can tell you. >> Um, >> so is a raised foundation or is it a slab? >> No, it's a full foundation. It's going to be a walk out in the back. So, we

68
00:19:53.919 --> 00:20:14.080
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 construction entrance, but what's the uh what's the finished driveway? Is that uh

69
00:20:14.080 --> 00:20:31.200
paved asphalt? >> Impervious. >> Yes. Yep. >> Impervious. Pervious. >> Correct. Impervious. >> Impervious. >> We do show we also do show a stockpile area in the front front right corner within the the limit of work.

70
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:47.880
And then what do you propose to do with the roof run off? >> Uh right now I'm just proposing to let it run. >> So >> no gutters or gutters. >> Oh no, there'll be gutters and then it'll go just down into >> cheap flow.

71
00:20:54.320 --> 00:21:14.159
This side's not highly erodable, right? It's >> No, it's very flat. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You have any questions, Jack? Uh, >> just a 6 foot elevation difference. So, I'm just wondering, I mean, if you got if

72
00:21:14.159 --> 00:21:31.039
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 sort of an erosion, you may want to have something under the leaders just to kind of diffuse it a little bit.

73
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:57.600
>> Okay. We have any any other questions? >> Any questions from the audience? >> 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

74
00:21:57.600 --> 00:22:14.320
are not already installed and the file number isn't up and we haven't had a pre-construction meeting, then I'm going to put it on hold until we >> Okay. No, I I'll let that's good to know. Thank you. Yep. So, you want all the erosion control in with the D sign up before they apply for the building

75
00:22:14.320 --> 00:22:28.960
permit. >> Yeah. And the D sign can't get a fix to a tree. So, there'll be specific orders >> in in the order conditions >> be recorded. >> Okay. Okay. As long as it's in the order conditions, then we'll follow that. >> Sounds good.

76
00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:44.720
>> Okay. We all set then. Uh, is there a motion? Um, well, if you guys aren't going to accept 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. Uh,

77
00:22:44.720 --> 00:23:00.799
>> 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 explicitly say >> Okay. Yeah. Okay. We're looking for a motion then to accept the plan with the

78
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:17.840
revisions on a new >> site plan. >> Add adding the placards. >> Yeah. >> Um adding um >> getting rid of the silt fence. >> Getting rid of the silt plants. >> And then adding rip I could add some kind of rip wrap at the end of the down

79
00:23:17.840 --> 00:23:33.200
spouts where they discharge. And I'll show the locations on the plan. >> 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.

80
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:54.320
Move it like another five five. So you're like 10 ft off the >> If you can. >> Okay. >> All right. Uh is there a motion as just described? >> I make a motion to uh ex accept it. uh

81
00:23:54.320 --> 00:24:12.720
going to the uh suggestions that we made. >> Okay. >> Commissions. >> Okay. Is there a second? >> Second. >> All in favor? >> Okay. >> You're all set. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you.

82
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:28.960
>> I wanted to give you these two. >> Yes. >> Thank you. And just give us a little credit. >> No problem. You need my plan anyways. So, >> thank you. Okay. Okay. Massific is on next. Oh, that's

83
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:51.440
where this gang is from. >> I knew I saw somebody sparking over there and I wasn't sure. >> Okay. >> You ready? >> I'm ready. >> Uh, so my name is Olivia Shaw. I'm here representing Massachusetts Electric. >> Oh, I wasn't that that quick. Your name

84
00:24:51.440 --> 00:25:06.080
is >> Olivia Shaw. >> Okay. >> Uh representing Massachusetts Electric 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 pole

85
00:25:06.080 --> 00:25:22.559
storage area is actually going to be located over the border in Rahobit. But there is a small section of the access road that's in Dyon and that's within the 100 ft 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.

86
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:38.960
So currently the material is sort of a mix of native soils and historic fill that's been compacted. Um, so the drainage characteristics of the new access road, the infiltration rates, all of that will be very similar to what's currently there. Um and they are proposing to install a 16 foot wide

87
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:54.720
travel surface um with a temporary limit of disturbance of about 24 ft wide just to 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

88
00:25:54.720 --> 00:26:10.320
uh procedures during construction. So we're going to start by flagging the wetlands, refflging them to make sure 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 right ofway. Um which is already a disturbed

89
00:26:10.320 --> 00:26:25.600
area. So it'll just be a little bit more mowing. Um and then we will install sediment and erosion controls and we'll do an environmental training with my company just to make sure that everything is up to snuff. Um and then they'll do grading. They'll add the clean stone, crushed stone or gravel.

90
00:26:25.600 --> 00:26:41.440
Um, and then they will stabilize the areas using straw mulch as needed and seeding. Um, if it isn't growing 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

91
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:56.799
stockpiling during construction just from the excavation. So, those will be surrounded by erosion controls and put on top of geoteexile fabric um, and monitored to make sure that nothing is running off into the adjacent wetlands. everything and I'm happy to take any

92
00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:13.120
questions. >> Uh, you said the access is going to be from Rehobit. >> Um, it's coming off of Chestnut Street. So, it's um I have a visual. So, it's coming off of Chestnut Street through the rightway.

93
00:27:13.120 --> 00:27:27.440
Um, >> I'm familiar with >> Okay. And then it's this is an established access road, so no work is occurring there. It's just this small section here. And then that's going through over the town line and into the full storage area in

94
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:47.120
>> Okay. Not not to be redundant, but uh what are you stockpiling or what are you setting up in Dyton? Are you setting up uh battery storage? Are you setting up any type of uh equipment uh that uh

95
00:27:47.120 --> 00:28:03.600
transformers or any of this bring? Yeah, it's just going to be a small section of gravel access road over an existing access road that just doesn't 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. It's

96
00:28:03.600 --> 00:28:20.640
>> Is it just for like staging purposes? >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> So, you must have had like some issues when you guys did the upgrades recently maybe. >> Um I think this is I I'm not I'm not sure what Yeah. Yeah. Was

97
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:36.880
your question answered when you and you asked it was for battery storage? >> She said no. >> Okay. Yeah. >> No, that was storage. Just pole storage. >> Yeah. Just maintenance of

98
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:51.679
>> Okay. >> I know they're going over some of the line. >> Yeah. >> I don't know if they're different 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

99
00:28:51.679 --> 00:29:06.320
area. So, they did. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Uh, any questions? Any more questions here? >> Any questions from the audience?

100
00:29:06.320 --> 00:29:30.880
Is there a motion to approve the notice of intent? Does that mean there's no motion or uh >> I make a motion that we accept the notice of intent for mass electric discuss.

104
00:30:55.840 --> 00:31:13.360
applicant not following instructions and altering a situation which uh could uh could impede uh neighboring activity. uh also uh siltation in the in the um

105
00:31:13.360 --> 00:31:30.559
area and uh material that was that is probably not good for Phil. Um, we have been in contact with the applicant's uh attorney and um I know

106
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:47.720
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 now uh

107
00:31:48.720 --> 00:32:05.679
we are still waiting to hear more from the lawyer. there and to have a a an engineer and or contractor show plans to remedy the situation before it and have it approved whatever

108
00:32:05.679 --> 00:32:21.919
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 re

109
00:32:21.919 --> 00:32:38.559
Um, Jason Shadows emails. He wasn't able to be here, but he started emailing me on April 23rd. So,

110
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:55.679
who wants to read them? Me. >> Um, >> can someone else read them? Does anyone else want to? >> Now, where did this this email is from?

111
00:32:55.679 --> 00:33:14.799
>> Uh, the neighbor Jason Mashado, he um he lives directly right next door. >> Uh, west side or east side? >> West. >> Okay. >> I Is it sending This is the one sending

112
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:28.799

113
00:33:28.799 --> 00:34:03.120
>> Okay. So that um >> and there was a recent one too. So let me just you can read it. Read that one. one from today. Yesterday I have it right here. >> Yeah, I got it.

114
00:34:03.120 --> 00:34:22.720
>> 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 out of town on business. I took your advice and watched the last town meeting

115
00:34:22.720 --> 00:34:39.919
with Mr. De Lima continuing to complain while he continues to do whatever he wants. After this meeting is when he had over 20 truckloads of loom delivered, making his land several feet higher and

116
00:34:39.919 --> 00:34:56.240
dumping even more water onto my property. During the video, I did not see any mention of him needing to lower his grade back to original grade that was adjacent to my land. My question for

117
00:34:56.240 --> 00:35:14.000
the town of Dyton is number one, when is this happening? Number two, why is he being allowed to make these things worse, not better? And neither the conservation committee nor the building commissioner is stopping him from doing

118
00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:30.560
so. Number three, will I be to have Peter Seleno to contact the town attorney? This has been many months now and while I appreciate your efforts, I am asking for

119
00:35:30.560 --> 00:35:47.280
a re resolution in regards to the matter pertaining to the water that is pouring onto my land without recourse. Please advise. Thanks, Jason Mash. >> Okay, these uh this letter as well as

120
00:35:47.280 --> 00:36:02.160
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 in what the uh after hours tonight. >> I'll send this over to Matt though.

121
00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:19.440
>> Okay. All right. And um uh the so what he's doing is breaking the enforcement order um with all this new fill coming in and we will not address a certificate

122
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:36.400
of compliance until we have a satisfactory plan to remedy the situation. >> Well, we we also need his his engineer to step up and get >> Well, that's what I'm saying. We need we need a satisfactory plan

123
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:51.839
>> plan of action >> and then and then it has to be done before he he can get a certificate of compliance. >> So there's a lot to be done and u on his part uh he has made it it appears as

124
00:36:51.839 --> 00:37:07.920
though he's made it worse by this further filling bringing in fill because the grade right now is um unacceptable. Yeah. And I mean, >> and I have not I have not seen it after this new load has been brought in.

125
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:23.440
>> 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 was you know how the pipe was leaning? >> It's it's it's upright straight now, but

126
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:40.480
there's got to be a good I want to say 8 to 12 in more height. So I can understand that email, >> but but the the land as it goes to uh on each side of the house, it's still um wetlands in those areas that that should

127
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:55.520
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. >> I know. I know. And this is why this is why he needs either well an engineer and

128
00:37:55.520 --> 00:38:14.560
a botist to to develop a plan to rectify the problem. >> We also have to take into consideration apparently there's been changes that have been requested by the board of health since they made their final inspection. So, I don't know if what he was doing

129
00:38:14.560 --> 00:38:29.599
was in response to that >> to the board of health, >> but um I don't want to see 10 ft more filled there. >> No. Should we have been notified? I mean, you know, >> we did get an email from the board of

130
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:45.920
health. It's right there. But I mean, still a change. It's a major change to the plan. Well, >> what >> if he didn't if he hadn't uh changed his

131
00:38:45.920 --> 00:39:05.520
idea of the plan >> that Phil never would have been needed, >> right? I mean, we we had a a plan in place that that would have um I think worked satisfactorily for the

132
00:39:05.520 --> 00:39:27.040
builder and the neighbors, but it wasn't followed. Okay. Um so we are right now awaiting um to hear from the attorney and hopefully from u uh an engineer and uh

133
00:39:27.040 --> 00:39:42.480
to develop a plan to rectify the situation. Main Street Lisa >> uh 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

134
00:39:42.480 --> 00:40:00.480
they proposed to do. Um they said there's right now they're in the middle of developing overall site plan. So they aren't implementing their mitigation plan. Um they requested a continuence to the next meeting.

135
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:19.520
>> They don't really need a continuence. We just wanted to know the status of that plan. So I can respond and ask them explicitly what the status is of the planting plan. Um the restoration plan.

136
00:40:19.520 --> 00:40:41.680
>> Okay. Uh we all set? >> Yeah. >> Maple Swamp Road. >> Is anyone here? Oh, great. >> Thank you for coming in. You're welcome. How you doing? Roberty.

138
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:15.200
>> What a good way to put it. >> Well, well, where it's a ball company is that money? Huh? Is that money? >> All right. Okay. >> Um, so you should have it here. >> The BSC report. >> Okay. All right. >> Um, so do you want to just give us this?

139
00:41:15.200 --> 00:41:30.480
I didn't know if they would be coming, but >> No, he couldn't make it this. >> Okay. You have a copy? >> Okay. Can you just give us a keep it under five minute >> uh summary? >> Yeah. Uh, okay. This was a area that uh

140
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:46.240
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 >> who came out with a with a wetland

141
00:41:46.240 --> 00:42:01.680
scientist and 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. Okay.

142
00:42:01.680 --> 00:42:17.520
>> 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
