19th 2025 um the first uh topic that we're going to be working on tonight is an RDA that um Paul Yi um submitted to the Conservation
Commission the commission members um did have a site inspection on the um property and would one of you like to just comment on that well I have already but ahead Greg
yeah basically we went over to uh the property to just confirm what the intent is which is to replace the garage on the same footing
with a New Foundation possibly and uh we just went over some guidelines in terms of protecting the brook the brook and the resource area um but it seems pretty
straightforward it's ook yeah watch who went on the site inspection GRE okay dude I was able were you just minut all right well um we
have a um determination here um to issue tonight so that you can walk away with it if everyone's in agreement yeah you want I am do the order of condition yeah
I did put some in all right you receiv received negative determination which is good that means that you don't have to go any further as far as a notice of intent is concerned um checked with the state on that and because it's going
onto the same Foundation pretty much the same footing that it had been on before and the house was built um before uh the river protection act then you're okay um as far as having to file anything more
than this um so you got a negative determination the work described in the request is within an area subject to jurisdiction under the ACT but it will not remove fill dredge or alter that area so that it doesn't require a notice of
intent also I checked um the area described in the request is subject to jurisdiction again under the ACT but it meets the requirements of the following exemptions as specif speci ified in the act in regulations no notice of intent
is required and then it went into the exact um part of the act under the mass Wetland protection act mgl chapter 131 section 40 existing structures prior to
August 7th 1996 such as a single family home and or accessory structures are generally exempt under the river protection act the activity of rebuilding a structure within 100 feet of a perennial stream on the exact
footprint of the original that was constructed so you're okay with that um so it it and and then I also checked that um because of all that you are not subject to additional review and
approval by the hamen Wetland protection bylaws and regulations okay so you're all set with that uh we did include some special um conditions um number one a Sil barrier
must be installed as far as practicable from watchog Brook the commission strongly recommends non- entrenched abovegr silk barriers such as double Stak endtoend hayy Bales backed by Waddles to further protect the
riverfront okay and did we review Waddles last time you were here they they're round long like a long tube yeah made out of straw yeah the hamon Conservation Commission your contractors
should know what they are right they should the hamon Conservation Commission must be notified for an inspection by email after the sil after Sil Barrier installation at least 48 hours before commencement of work and I just added
our email which I'm sure you know by now I'm right across the street anyway so see it happen so I'll just the project should utilize locally sourced top soil as a planting medium if required which must contain no extraneous matter or
debris no evasive weeds particularly Japanese not weed gravel if any must be similarly free of debris and invasives number four soil and other work materials must
be stored at least 20 ft outside the bank of the brook unless they're actively being used all soil piles should be securely covered if they remain overnight or longer than 24 hours and finally the hamon conservation
Commissioners must be able to visit the site as necessary to inspect for storm damage or other River area protection issues while the pro project is in progress and until the area is stabilized
I actually I did have one other thing I wanted to say that the if they are pouring concrete from a truck he can't clean that truck on the property it's too close to the water right yeah okay they usually do I see them do it all all
the time okay but yeah because that'll just run right into it'll yeah it'll just run right in there do you want me to write that in as number six if you can sure I'll just write it in yeah okay sure good catch all right so you want
the concrete if a if their concrete is poured with a truck they clean the truck off site [Music] okay sure they have to do that every now and then
anyways yeah they must have well they don't necessarily because but no I know but they must have somewhere they can go yeah they must have an alternative yeah usually I've seen them do it right
there yep they concrete place last yeah and they did it right there yeah it's like okay okay here's one that's ready to sign and then I'll write that in for the second one I do two so that I can have one for
you and one for the file little better this time quieter play is this r that his this one his uh it doesn't well I have to you can

sounds now the next the next thing is um Eric answorth on um Summers Road he um oh yeah you guys went on a site inspection no he didn't one yet
okay I contacted him but I haven't heard back yet oh I saw that yeah I did see your email and I contacted that other one too about the pump house and he hasn't gotten back to me yet either oh that one with a maple syrup no The Pump House the water oh oh the water guy yeah
H he was he seemed to be in such a hurry right well anyway Eric um contacted the Conservation Commission and um I think I put his letter in your um I
saw it in your holders um and he wants to know he's ready now now I guess to put in the um plantings and he wanted to know about um
an RDA or noi well his RDA is still good for another month um I don't know how close he is to putting those plantings in um but I was thinking of giving him a
call and letting him know that we can't the original um plan was 2020 and then um after that um he he filed another for
2022 um so that and they're good for three years so it's good until April of 2025 so he would really wouldn't have to do anything if he was able to get the
plantings in um or at least get them started MH so I'm not sure what you guys want to do with that I'm not sure what he wants us to be to look
at I'm not sure I follow what we're talking about I don't see the letter in here and I'm not no it's it was in the email oh it was in the email okay Splash thing no
um well here's a copy of the emails if you want to send it down you got his email oh this is the end of it okay so he wants to know if the noi has to be filed yeah
[Music] and I'm not sure you know what is done out there he said he was not able to repair the silt fence that was damaged okay he's gonna do it
this okay so he just wants us to come out and make sure the silt fence is proper right now that's what the site does okay all right I didn't really read it to understand it so yeah we're checking
to make sure the send yeah is right and we we can proceed okay and you called him anyway right well I sent them in in email whatever yeah
okay so that's that's one of them um the other guy you said um Gabe um j j a j o a o for the water District right scantic Valley Water System site
inspection um he wanted uh which obviously he didn't want it that badly if he never got back to you but he wanted a site inspection on because I guess they're going to they need to take down some trees that would be under our jurisdiction yeah so okay I don't know
maybe you could would you call them or email them I send him an email with a bunch of dates that times I did see that yeah so all he's got to do is let me know which one okay um now what about
um when when you guys went up to uh Ryan Walsh's um shape and Road property what did on the mapping it shows three Brooks in the front of property yep so what did what who did you meet
with did you meet with him or R just Ryan by himself okay and we suggested he'd contact Heather she knows about the property and and can tell
him where if at all he can put whatever the house and everything and it would probably require an noi that's what we say yeah do do you think that he could even um maneuver past those three
Brooks he'd have to cross them he'd have to cross them if he wants a driveway of own yeah yeah if he wants a driveway he has to cross two of them anyway I think the third one kind of curved
but but you still got that marshy area right there yeah and there was we did find another area it wasn't a brook M but it was wet so I don't know if it was wet because it's just snow
melt or if it's Vernal pool was it maybe it wasn't pool just it was a rocky it was marshy yeah yeah yeah but it could be just snow snow melt could tell but he has to file an noi so he would have to
get a wetland scientist so then they would that's why we told him hold the Heather because she's been there but apparently he hasn't purchased the property yet yeah so he can still back out and yeah say never mind I'm not doing the damn thing maybe he did back
out yeah maybe did maybe we don't I mean you know like Greg said you know Crossing three Brooks that's going to cost you I mean the state has specifications and how to get across if you have to yeah yeah and he would because they go right across his
property yeah yeah yeah all right well no he hasn't okay he hasn't called he hasn't emailed nothing from him so maybe he maybe he backed out and what about um lot 13 chapen that's
it no this is a Kim Kym that's the same one oh it's the same yeah property she's not involved anymore she was the realtor his wife is doing the realtor part Ryan's wife okay now I understand
it all right so I think Kim is the person that was handling it at the sale for the owner whoever owns it now yeah well his Brian's wife is taking over do the sale for the purchase on his part so
well she might back out too yeah I okay that's what I that's what I wasn't sure of um maybe I will give uh Ryan a um call tomorrow and see what's going on with that um and then we also had
um I don't think I brought it with me we discussed it a little bit at the last meeting the fella on um uh Bennett no South mson Road who wants to oh this that's what this one North
mson is that the one he wants to put um uh cabins cabin cabins North mson yeah and um I wrote him a letter telling him that he needed to file a notice of intent okay and haven't heard a thing okay from him and neither has Hobie the
building is nobody's heard from him okay so I'm not I'm not sure he did call me when I first told him he needed to file a notice of intent he did call and and ask for all of the meeting dates through through the fall oh all right so he's
not in a hurry got so we'll we'll see I me this is all wet right here in the front so yeah there's not that much is that a brook or is that you know what that is it doesn't say yeah that is um D's um marking for um uh
septic right yeah Title Five SE Title Five yeah okay but then you got a so what a river front right yeah what is oh there's there it is the blue line Y do you know what Brook that is no I don't not that it matters I was
just curious yeah no I don't okay so that's um lot 13 all right then I sent I also put in your files um a paper from uh the W yep and they're meeting tonight
downstairs I believe that that's where they're at with with Community preservation oh okay to get money excuse me to get money and the first project and the and the one that they're looking for money for right now is the shade for
Memorial and um I should have made a copy I did send a letter to the to um uh the preservation uh from the commission just saying that um you know that we are in favor of that
and you know the the um shade umbrellas may not even need to file with us depending on where they put them like how you know yeah he he told us about those when he was here at yeah he's got a picture of them right here look it's
nowhere near the Wetland which is over here yeah so the brook is right there right so and the two shades would be over there oh on the back side of the water park yeah on the other side
towards the ball fields yeah yeah it shouldn't be a problem no I don't think so the water park's already there so and he has not brought up the um pickle ball courts yeah I know so he's actually I think he's actually leaning towards
trying something at at the schoolb yeah well I think that he would be able to do that without much of a problem you know I think that he would run into some problems so I mean I know there's some Wetlands back there in the woods but
yeah it's already EST cl to worry about no well especially if he puts them where the old tennis bries are right that seems to be what people are doing now yeah so I guess maybe he's going to wait for the town meeting to approve moving into
the building first yeah and that's supposed to happen uh in July May well the meeting will be in May to prove it have to vote on it first in may we building in June and then the moon will be or July one or whatever yeah you're
working in that building right if it gets approved yeah yeah so um hopefully it will our last meeting they weren't sure what to do with this building yeah they still don't know yeah I don't think they're gonna still don't
know no it's tough yeah tough building I actually talked to somebody Monday afternoon playing pickle ball who went to school in this building yeah yeah so we're going to get offices right in the
front yep did you go there did you look I picked them up yeah did you I saw all the signs in there in there the other day yeah something two offices we have because hopefully hopefully they're going to hire a
conservation agent we'll see I was designing Wireless all afternoon for that place okay um does anybody have anything else they want to discuss
r no about window I know what you can do I know all right then I guess uh somebody want to make a motion to close the um
make a close the meeting I second 31 wow that's a that's aest one we've ever had except for the one except for the ones we didn't really have a meeting didn't have yeah although some of those lasted longer all those in fav all there
