of a replacement septic system. Do we have the applicant or their agent on the call? I see Ryan. Oh, I think you're muted. doesn't show that he's muted, Madam
Chair, but uh we certainly don't hear anything. >> How about that? >> Good. >> Much better. >> Yeah. Excellent. Ryan Proctor, Dillis here representing the applicant. >> Okay. Oh, let me make it so that you can everybody can share. There we go. >> All right. Thank you.
>> All right. Great. Uh thank you for your time tonight. Um what we have before you tonight is notice of intent for a a relatively straightforward project. We are proposing to uh replace a failed septic system at 23 Tilton Avenue um in Lun uh yeah Tilton A. Yep. Um the
replacement septic system I've shown uh here in red. We are actually outside of the 100 foot buffer zone which is this outer orange line here. However, Pearl Hillbrook runs along the westerly side of the property. So there is a 100 ft
and 200 ft riverfront offset associated with that brook and we are in between the 100t and 200t offsets. Um so as I mentioned we're replacing the existing system. Uh we will pump and crush and fill the existing tank and the proposed
system will be located in the backyard uh behind the existing house. Because of the uh estimated season high groundwater uh that we experienced during testing, it's relatively low. So the entire new system will be completely underground. Um so there will not be a mounted system. We are not bringing in fill for
this system. Um and the the overall topography of the the back property will not change um at as a result of this project. We are proposing to install erosion control barrier um which is this darker bold dash line here downgrading
of the work area. For this project we are proposing waddles only uh for two reasons. Um, one, it's it's relatively flat where the system is going. I I acknowledge it gets a little steeper as you go down towards the brook. Um, but secondly, a project of this nature is relatively quick um where the install
and backfield happens in about a week uh with inspections and everything. So, we won't have extended periods of time where there's exposed earth. Um, so we went with the waddles only in this case. I understand there was a sitewalk on Saturday and there was a comment relative to uh showing a stockpile area
location. Um so we have shown that between the new system location and the house um any excess material will be trucked off site uh during the installation process. And then earlier this morning we did receive a file number from Mass D. Um
for the record that's 2081361 and there were no comments issued from D uh with that with that file number. So I think that's it. I'll leave it there. If there's any questions I'd be happy to take them. Thanks so much, Ryan. Um, do we have any
questions for members of the commission? Mary. >> Hi, Madam Chair. Uh, thank you. I uh where's the current uh septic field? >> It's uh approximately it's in the backyard also. It's approximately uh where this proposed debugs call out is
on this lower side here. >> Okay. Thank you. No further questions. Uh, Richard, you're saying something? You're muted. >> Sorry about that. No worries. >> The overheads that there are no trees in the construction zone. Is that correct?
I was not able to go on a sidewalk. >> Yes, we are not proposing any tree removal for this project. >> There was only one tree in the whole yard and it was pretty to the side. >> Yep. Yeah, I there was one off to the side, I did see. Uh, no. My other question was where was the existing
system and what was happening to that. So no further questions. Thank you very much Ryan. >> Thank you >> Richard. >> Okay. Do we have any other questions from members of the public?
Not appear that we do. Do we have a motion? >> Make a motion to approve the project as presented. >> Second. >> Thank you. >> Okay. Um that is Richard with the motion and Mary with the second. Roll call vote. Mary Wilson
>> I. >> Mike Larouche >> I. >> Chris Germaine >> I. >> Richard Burch >> I. >> And I for myself. Okay. >> Great. Thank you very much. I appreciate your time. Just one quick comment, Ryan.
Did you upload the uh updated plan with the stockpile area? >> I will I will verify. Uh Jack was working on that plan, but if it's not, I will make sure that it is. >> It's there. It I saw it get uploaded yesterday. >> Excellent. Thank you. >> Thanks so much, Ryan. >> Thank you. >> Thank you.
>> Have a good day. >> Okay. Up next, we have a continued public hearing pursuant to MGL chapter 131 section 40 as amended in the town of Lunenberg wetlands protection and municipal bylaws of public hearing on a
notice of intent by by the town of Lunenburgg DPW for the replacement of the deteriorated culvert at the Northfield crossing over Mulpus Brook. Um, do we have the applicant? I wasn't told that they
were going to I wasn't let me just check um on the continuation. I don't recall getting a note that they asked to continue. Let me see if they put any notes in.
Madam Chair, do you mean that they you didn't see a note that they weren't going to be here tonight and would want to continue to another date? >> Yes. So, I just want to see if there is anything in open gov. Maybe they put in
a note. I know um we had asked them to provide a letter to us. [Music] anything new from them? Oh, you know what? I guess that the he
did write on September 29th, we would like a continuence until further notice. They did not give a date that they would like to come back. So in my opinion, and I'm open to other, you know, comments, that would be a permit. That was be them
requesting a continuation until they've come back to us. So would be >> it's consistent with my interpretation, Madam Chair. >> Okay. So, do I have a motion to continue until our next meeting, which is
November 5th? Look at that again. November 5th, 2025. >> So, moved. >> Was that >> Was that Chris? >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. All right. So, Chris with the motion. Mary with the second. Um, roll call vote. Mary Wilson.
>> I. >> Richard Bers. We're muted. >> Sorry about that. I Uh Mike Larouche >> I >> St. Germaine >> I >> and I for myself continue to
10 no 115. Okay. Um up next we have administrative determinations. Uh we have 135 Flynn Road request to place to place replace deteriorating dock using the same
footprint. Um, do we have the applicant on the call? >> Yes, you do. >> Hi. Okay, that's Louise and John, right? >> Correct. >> Can you say your name and your address for the record? >> Louise and John Tada, 135 Flynn Road.
>> Perfect. Thank you. And I did see that your um contractor said that they were going to keep the tubes in place. >> Correct. >> Yes. Okay. So, um That was good.
>> Uh, was anybody not here for this one? I go over this one again. This is I can show pictures if we'd like. Um, they are replacing a deck. They're keeping it in the same footprint. We had um just wanted to verify if they were going to need to be excavating. We did verify
that they would not need to excavate. And so we had asked them to come back. If they were going to have to excavate, they would file an RDA. They don't have to excavate. So it can stay as an administrative determination. Does anyone want any more info on that or did that
>> Did you re I have a question. Did you receive the um the site plan that showed the erosion barriers? >> Oh, yep. Let's see. >> That was the other request that you had. >> That's right. Let me pull that up.
Yep. I believe it was. Let me see if I can share this. >> Yeah. So this one there is a collar right here. That shows elevation. And then this is
>> you um see where the arrow ends. >> Yeah. Right here. >> Yep. You go up. >> I can't see it. That's small. >> Yeah. Let me try to >> So you go up like northeast and around here. >> Yeah. And around the building
>> and attaches around the trees to the side of the deck. >> Okay. Okay. Do we have any questions for members of the commission? >> None for me, Madam Chair. >> Okay. And do we have any questions for members
of the public? I'm thinking no. Okay. Um, do we have a motion? >> I'd make a motion to approve the agent's determination with the caveat that prior to the start of work, the agent uh go
out to the site and ensure that the erosion protection is in place properly. >> Okay. >> So moved. >> So wait, you have the second. >> Oh, yeah. Rich with the motion and Mary with the second and um roll call vote.
Mike Larouche >> I >> Chris Germaine >> Richard Burch >> back on mute. >> You were unmuted and then you muted yourself. >> Yeah, I'm just pushing the button. I
>> and I for myself. Okay. So, um >> Jed, uh Madam Chair, >> yes, >> you didn't call on me. I would vote I as well. Oh, sorry. Where's your name? Um, Mary Wilson. I Is that I heard an I from you? >> I
>> Okay, thank you. Um, okay. So, motion approved um with the condition that the uh that our agent go on site just to check the erosion controls before the start of the week. Would I notify conservation to
get the appointment with her to come out or would I just >> So get the erosion controls in place um and then and then let her know that you're ready and she'll come out and check them. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Very good. Thank you very much for your help.
>> Thank you so much. And thanks for coming back and bearing with us through all of this. >> No problem. No problem. Thank you again. >> Have a great night. You too. Bye. Bye. Okay, we do not have any extension request permits, certificates of compliance. Um,
155 Reservoir Road, we heard them at the last meeting. They did not have their asbuilts uploaded. We were able to get the asbuilts from the board of health and I will pop that up on the screen now.
One second. And her Lynn said she might be able to join us tonight. She might be a little bit late. Um, so she may pop on at some point. Although we're moving right along. So attachments
my screen. So this is the as built from the date on this. Where's my I gota turn I gota move this around. This is in the way. August 4th, 2017. That sound right?
>> Uh, madame chair, the uh original was uh stamped uh on 2015 11. >> Yeah, >> 2015. So, yeah. >> And then this is Yeah. Pasco 2017. >> There is a rotate button if you want to use it. And it's right in the center.
>> Yeah. Wait, where? >> Right. Right in the center of your screen. Right in the center. >> Oh, you know what? This is I have a thing in front of it. I'm like, isn't it usually set up? What is that? Okay, there we go. I had a um It was trying to change my audio settings like button
there. You would never know I work in it. Okay. Yeah. So, does this state I just want to look at this again really quick. Um, okay. Yeah, that is correct. We're just
we're just way past right. Okay. because the order of conditions is from 11 2015 and that was from 1112 2015 originally and then it changed. Okay. Do we have
any questions from members of the commission? Madame Chair, I was just reviewing it on the portal and it says they're asking for a partial >> certificate of compliance.
>> I think it's weird. I noticed that and I think that um Herin had given them a partial because they didn't have the asbuilt. They're definitely looking for a full certificate of compliance.
Let me see. Let me share my screen again and just make sure I'm looking at what you're looking at. >> But it says that it's built now. So that's changed. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Is my is what I'm thinking. Let me just make sure I'm on the same page. >> Yeah. So it looks like as I read down
that this is a partial request for 155. There still needs to be So there's still an open order for lot six, which is 105 reservoir. or 105.
>> That's what I'm reading. >> So, this house um where where are you seeing that? Oh, when you say partial is >> uh click on details to the left of workflow.
>> Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. So just for now, how does that work? Because this is its own property at this point, right? So they're only asking >> probably one application for the the six houses that were built in that one um
lot. >> Yeah. >> So they're asking for a partial from the original order of conditions. So there's still an open order on lot six, it sounds like, which is 105 reservoir. Okay.
So, are they asking to exclude that one or only only that one? I'm not sure what we're doing here. >> Uh, so they're only asking to be released from the order of conditions on lot what's it 155. So, >> yeah, >> I would make a motion that we uh approve
a >> partial certificate of compliance >> uh for only lot 155 Reservoir Road under the uh original order 208-1080. >> I'll second that.
>> Good catch, Rich. Thank you. Um okay, roll call vote. That was Rich with the motion and Chris with the second. Roll call vote. Mary Wilson >> I. >> Mike Larouche >> I. >> Chris St. Germaine >> I.
>> Richard Bur >> I. >> And an I for myself. Okay. So partial certificate of compliance for 155 resol on to enforcement.
Um so we do have some updates. Tenmassab the certified mail was returned. So they are looking to get that um figured out. 1168 Massav rear the >> Madam Chair if I may.
>> Yes. >> Um at 10 Massav at one point in time uh they uh said they had retained Dillis and Roy and Dillis and Roy had confirmed that they had been retained. Uh but that you know goes back uh probably
>> That's right. >> Yeah. uh to the to the spring uh maybe like May or something. Uh it it's maybe at least worth um contacting Dillis and Roy to see if they're still uh working with them.
>> Yep. Absolutely. Good idea. Okay. 1168 Massa rear. There's that one was actually returned because it was sent to a wrong address that was on file. Um there's somebody else's address in there. I think it was like in
Florida. Um, so they are handling that one in the office. 48 Meadow Lane, they are talking to the property owners now. Um, 1147 Massav certified mail was
returned. I have to check on that one. Um, because that's the first I've heard of that one. I've been talking to the office about other ones, but just because I'm pretty sure the property owners are living in that house, so it'd be weird that it was unless they refused it.
Um 314 Highland Street, violation fine is going to be mailed on that one. And then 199 Massav, they did file an NOI. So, the office is starting to add back
the ones that we have uh updates on at this point. Does anyone have anything else they want to add or do is there anything that we're missing on violations? Okay.
Um, new business. Oh, we don't have any emergency certifications. New business topics unknown. Don't have any of those. >> Um Madam Chair, uh
Bob Peas, as you know, uh is um uh in the hospital right now. Uh and he has been coordinating a lot of the the trail work um for us. He uh asked that we um uh consider adding $2,000 to the Mackie
PO. Y >> um that's the MACPO that's funded through the timber rights fund. >> Yes. >> Yeah. So I was I was gonna I had that under conservation budget in my notes. Oh, >> okay. >> But yeah, I mean I we talk about it now because that's actually well after the
forest cutting plan. I have a lot of questions. I'm not really sure what that's all about, but yeah, let's talk about that now since we're talking about it. Um, basically Bob is asking for 2,000 to be added to the MACPO
to cover costs of Oh, do you want to explain that Mary or do you think >> Yeah. So, uh, and and that's just kind of a general fund that we keep available for, uh, trail improvements, bridge repair, and whatnot. Uh, you know, we
just recently funded uh the, uh, United Way Caring Day activity that was down in the Cry. um adding boardwalks in some uh wet areas um to keep people uh on, you know, managed onto the trail. And then
also there was a bridge down there that was in serious disrepair going over Mulpus um Brook um and they uh they ran short on I think they got all of the bridge done for Mulpus Brook, but they ran short on the material for those
catwalks. And uh that uh it sounds like the um yeah the uh Mackie allowed us to go over PO for the material for that United Way um caring day uh which you know they
should not have done uh but you know that happens sometimes uh so we need to cover the arars um and I don't think they're significant arars and then the um volunteers that have been helping out down there also estimated it was another
uh slightly less than $300 worth of material to finish the um proposed catwalks. Um so we expect that the $2,000 um added back to the um MACPO would cover the areas, cover the new
material and leave uh roughly uh $1,500 there for um upcoming work. And usually as we go through the winter uh and into the spring, we come into, you know, a lot of a lot of extra repairs that need to happen with our bridges and uh
walkways and whatnot. >> Yeah, thank you for going over that, Mary. Um so I guess looking for a motion to approve $2,000 added to the MACPO. So move Mike.
>> Have a second. >> Second. >> All right. Roll call vote. Mary Wilson. >> I. >> Mike Larouche. >> I St. Germaine. >> I. >> Richard Bur. >> Should we amend the motion to state
where the funds are coming from? >> I'm Yeah, I think that's fair. >> Yeah. >> And it's Timber rights fund. Timber Rights. >> Yeah. So, the motion is to move 20,000 from the Timber Rights Fund
to the Mackie PO. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Richard with the motion. Mary with the second. Roll call vote. Mary Wilson. >> I. >> Mike LaRouche. >> I St. Germaine.
>> I. >> Richard Bers. I and that was Mike Larouche that had made the motion. >> Oh, was it? >> Yeah. >> Well, that Okay. Sorry, Mike. Mike Mike made the motion. >> I have many voices.
>> I for myself. >> Okay. Um, so motion approved to move 2000 to the Mackie PO from the Timber Res funds. Um, open space and land use. Do you have any Oh, no, that's under committee reports.
Um, but do you have does anyone have any updates on open space and land use? >> We met recently, but I don't have anything to report. It was a very quick meeting for >> Okay. Um, Hollis Road residents. Do we have
any updates on that? >> Nothing on my end, Madam Chair. >> Okay. Um, master plan steering committee Petty is not here. Storm water, we have not
met since the last meeting. Um, we're going to meet next week, it looks like. And then Oh, but I missed that. The forest cutting plan, >> right? >> Yes, this is So, I was trying to kind of figure this out. There's a forest
planning plan on Flat Hill Road. I spoke to Herland a little bit about this earlier. I was hoping that she was going to join because I couldn't get the full um situation on this. She said that she uploaded something and I meant to look.
>> Did she say where? >> I think she said SharePoint. >> Um I am going to look. I don't know. >> Yeah, I didn't see anything in the meeting materials folder. >> Yeah, that's the only place I
>> managed on uh SharePoint. I because I downloaded it quick just to review it. >> Okay. >> Where Rich? >> Honestly, I just typed in the word forest and it popped up. I have 1083 North Road. This looks like it's Flat Hill. Horse cutting plans. Oh.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh yeah. Har and Jamie modified nine hours ago. All right. Am I still sharing or am I not sharing anymore? >> Not sharing. >> Nope. >> I'm going to share again. Uh maybe if it's going to let me. There
we go. Zoom is not my friend today. Okay. It just puts things wherever I don't want them. Like where is the most annoying place to put this? That's where I'm going to put it. Okay.
So, so what I was told by um Harlin is that this a forest cutting plan. I'm not super familiar with these and I would love a little bit of education from anybody who would like to provide it. It
goes to D and gets approved through D. they they uh one of the foresters approves it and then it comes to us for comment and we get 10 days to comment but typically by the time that we get it the comment the 10 days of comment
period is over. So um proposed start date 1012025 we are 15 days beyond that. Um, so I'm just curious if anyone has any
comments that there's a wetland crossing here. Um, a 20 foot length of crossing mitigation. FRD. >> So the um legend is at the bottom of the page, Jenny.
>> Oh, there we go. Frozen. frozen and dry is when they'll be using the crossing. >> So, >> okay, >> forest cutting plans under chapter I think it's 132 >> are exempt from the wetlands protection act which means that we don't have authority over them but we can't comment
on them. >> Okay. Oh, and it's DCR, not D. >> It's DCR Forester. And then it does seem like we don't we don't we typically don't receive it in time to comment. I don't know. Do have we typically
commented on things like this in the past? >> Uh the forester is usually and I don't know who it is currently, but when we've contacted the forester in the past, they're usually pretty receptive to our questions and comments and concerns. >> Says Eric Levante. Yeah.
>> Is the harvester. Is that the forester? He's the He's not the for He's not the state forester. He's the the one that's going to be doing the cutting. >> And most of the time, our biggest concerns tend to be with the um the use
of the um cutting exclusion to try and make sure that they're not using it to clear property for development and then getting around the need to file for a notice of intent. >> Okay. Yeah, no, that makes sense.
Um, okay. >> I was I was informed and I can't remember how I got this information that this was a mandatory cut because it's 61B and it has to be, you know, the state requires every 10 years. So, I
don't think it's for what you mentioned, uh, you know, to get around an NOI. >> Okay. I did see in here. Where did I see it? Um that it was thought it said 61A.
I could be losing my mind though. Where did it go? Stop me if you see it. >> And I man cuts, but they do under 61 have to file a management plan for the property. >> Okay. This may be part of their um
presented management plan when they filed for 61 ex um tax exemption or tax status. >> Okay. Wait. And 61 is farming agricultural.
>> Yep. Agricultural or forest manage forest land management or just open space. I think there's three of them. >> Okay. And this is this could be like something that they have to do every like periodically in order to consider it
agricultural. >> Yeah. I I it's I've been um correct me if I'm wrong, but I've learned that the owner in order to keep his tax status has to let the land be be logged. 66 acres, but it looks like
I just wanted to make sure I'm reading everything correctly. So, is the 66 acres what's being logged or is that the entire property? >> I think the 66 acres is the entire parcel.
>> Okay. Okay. And then it looks like 30 cutting standards 30 um wh is hardwood. Is that white pine hardwood? Is that what that means?
>> White pine is not hardwood. >> What is WP? No. WP hemlock. So that wouldn't be white pine. Oh yeah, WP is white pine. So definitely not. Okay. >> Uh Madame Chair, uh just a slight
clarification. The >> parcel shows on the tax um teed as uh 99. So I think the 66 is just the forested um the forest harvesting area. >> Okay. Thank you, Mary.
All right. So yeah, this is um this is all new to me. So this is interesting. Okay. So, chapter 61 management practices require amendment boundary policy C attached. Yeah, that's just how they have to um
maintain and blaze the boundary if it's over 50 acres. >> Okay. And then trees to be cut. They have species. And then I'm guessing this is a caliber. Oh no, this is 9 foot to 24T.
And then trees to be left are hold on. Is that inches? Okay. And then 9 foot to 20 foot. >> I think that's 9 inch to 24 inch DBH, which is diameter of breast height.
>> Okay. Because this one, this one says foot, but then down below this is inches. So I made it big. See? >> Yeah, it's just >> I was thinking this is caliber. >> I suspect it's a typo, too. >> Okay. Okay.
Okay. >> And it also showed there, Jenny, the um the amount that's going to be cleared from the property, and it looked like it was a 50/50 cut and 50/50 leave. Okay. Okay. is I mean there's not any action
that we can take on this or that we would want to I would say but um this is more I just education for me. Does anyone have any questions about this or any more comments?
Doesn't appear that we do. Um okay. Do we have any other comments on anything? >> M chair. Um we used to have a you know conservation area uh kind of updates and
a grant updates. >> Oh yeah. Where is that? >> Yeah. You know that's the fine print, right? Um but if I might uh the update on the grant uh is that um you know after talking to our consultant
engineering firm uh the the project that we have left to do uh under that uh grant contract is um you know improving the access road to the handicapped um accessible uh wildlife viewing platform
in the Cry and that's that's the portion that's uh comes off of uh Towns and Harbor Road. Uh the consultant engineer uh you know has advised that you know with the way you know it it is right now uh a
lot of the road is uh basically um boring vegetative wetland. Uh so he he's recommending that we uh that we uh ask for an extension from um from uh the
grant uh administrator. I'm in the process of writing that. The consultant engineer is going to send me a letter with a formal kind of request and outline his next steps uh because we may have to reassess the the you know plan
that we had to make that uh wildlife viewing platform um accessible to people that had mobility limitations. Uh so that's that's just an update there. Um, and then with regard to Well, does anybody have any questions about
the grant? Okay. Um, and then also, if I may, uh, I just wanted to make certain people had visibility to, uh, down in the Lane and Largetown Forest. You know, we had last year some visibility that folks have
been down there, um, creating trails without permission. Um there's still um other volunteers that are running into people and and citing that there are even more new trails uh getting uh
created down there. Um so that's that's a concern. We've not had anybody here uh asking for or proposing um new trails. So um you know and our our land use um regulations are very clear that there is
to be no work um to create new trails uh without uh without permission from the conservation commission. So, I think that um you know, you may want to talk to the town manager andor town attorney and and figure out what um you know,
what if anything we can do about that to try to keep that um non-compliant activity from continuing to happen. >> It's it's really a shame. You know, we have so many really good volunteers out there that want to work with the
commission. Um and and for the most part we you know uh grant uh permission when those volunteers come to us uh with ideas of how to improve things. So it's it's um it's sad and it's really a shame, but I wanted to make certain that
folks were aware of that. >> Thank you, Mary. Yeah. Um, I do need I need to reach out to Jen and our attorney, Adam Costa, about that. And thanks for putting it back on my
radar cuz I actually forgot. So, okay. Um, thank you for that. And I'm going to get the grant updates added back because I feel like that's something we consistently have and I'm not sure why it's
why it's not there. Oh, and madam chair, if I forgot to make one other announcement uh about the grant, I had applied for uh reimbursement. Uh we had as of June had acrewed about $35,000 and um invoices to our consultant engineer and
I uh applied for the uh reimbursement um and about 28,000 uh was reimbursed. Actually, I got confirmation from our town accountant today. Um and 7,000 uh you may recall was being funded through
uh ARPA grant money. Um so anyway, it's nice that we've we've actually, you know, gotten um at least what's been build to date uh reimbursed. >> Yeah. Awesome. That is nice. Thank you so much, Mary.
Okay. We have any other comments on France or >> I just have a question for the team or for the for our committee. Did anybody have trouble um clicking on the link uh on the PDF agenda tonight? Because I had
to type it in manually tonight. I couldn't click >> I had to type it in. >> And I actually went in and and edited the agenda before it got submitted and made it clickable. >> Okay. And I cleaned it up a bit and made it like a little bit bigger and it's
