We're on. All right. So, this is the uh pledge of allegiance. Uh well, August 19th meeting, conservation commission will begin by saluting the flag. Sorry. I pledge allegiance to the flag of United States of America and to the republic
for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. All right. Uh, soil permit AJ Potter and Suns 604 main road.
Mr. Chairman, members, this is AJ Potter and Sun's request for renewal at 604 Main Road. This is soil permit number 454. Uh the report is dated August 14th, 2025.
The site visit was also on August 14th. Detailed description. The owner has filed to renew the Stockp Island transfer site soil permit number 454. The site is located on Main Road and services the business with storage of earth minerals. The site is in good working order. This is actually they do
have a buffer zone on this particular property. Recommendations. The Westport Conservation Soil Conservation Board should approve the soil permit number 454 for one year. That's all. All right. Any discussion? Motion to approve. If not for a motion. Second.
All right. Jake and Kevin. That's unanimous. Call. All in favor? All in favor? I opposed. All right. That's unanimous. Uh, let me see. We have no septics.
Looks like Riley Holmes. All right. Uh, Jeff Riley. Riley Holmes. Notice of intent zero Wildberry Lane. Construct single family dwelling with Phil and Grady including septic system and well in the buffer zone. Jim, how are you?
Put your mics on. Your microphones. Put your microphones on so they hear you. I told you I do not like the mom yet. See, this is why I don't like this thing. Shoot. Well, we pretty much set it up.
House septic, well, usual grading in the buffer zone. Um, Mary Lane, first lot coming in from 177 on your left. uh it's already has a passing perk and uh we find out that we
submitted this part of the septic design too. Um we got the number from uh DP this this morning. So all right, Mr. Chairman, members, this is Riley Holmes. Uh doesn't have an
address yet. So it's zero wildberry way. Notice of intent application. Um, engineer of record is SNK Engineering that designed the plan with Jim Walsh representing this evening for the notice of intent. Report date is August 13th, 2025.
We did receive the file number today with no adverse comments. It's SE802809. Uh, site visit was on August 13th as well. Detailed description of the work. The applicant is filed to construct a single family home. well and septic on the last remaining lot within the
development. The site wetland line was reviewed and determined to be similar to past delineations and accurate. That would be wetland flags 101 through wetland flags 112. The wetland area on this site extends up to along route 177 to the state drain just about the
entrance just below the entrance of Wildberry there. There's actually a culvert that drains that into that wetland system. Proposed home be constructed at its closest point 55 ft from the wetland along route 177 and 80 feet from the rear portion of the
wetland as it wraps around. The proposed grading for the lot will be within 25 ft of the wetland edge how the commission prefers to stay away. A retaining wall will be constructed along the slope to maintain the 25- ft separation from the
wetland line that is on the corner as that property converges towards the rear of the property. They're putting a retaining wall there to limit some of that down slope grading. Erosion controls we state at this limit of work roof runoff will be dis uh discharged
into infiltration chambers to help with uh site runoff. A condition of the preval approval rather should require the lower section of uh the area to have a row of boulders established to maintain that 25 ft no activity area
limit and to prevent any further encroachment. Uh there's numerous boulders on the site. I don't think the applicant would have trouble just placing a few of those down gradient. I assume the house will be sold and this would be beneficial for us to verify
that that is the limit of what work we have permitted. Recommendations. The Westport Conservation Commission should approve the proposed single family home in grading with a condition a row of boulders or similar be placed along the
25 ft. No activity limit as a condition of approval. Uh this was pending file number at that time, but as I mentioned, we do have a file number, Mr. Chairman, so we can close out this hearing this evening. That's all. All right. Great. Any questions?
