All right. So, we have the April 29th meeting of the Conservation Commission, which is being recorded and possibly broadcast live. Uh, we're going to stand and salute the flag, please. We start the meeting. 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. Thank you. Okay. First uh first hearing is for a septic for Santos LLC, 149 West
Beach Road. Lenny, how are you tonight? Good. Good. I know he's he's even early part of West Point Design here for Tom Marsh San LC. This is 149 West Beach Road. If you take East Beach Road all
the way to the causeway and hang a right on West Beach Road, this is the third house on the left on the ocean directly to the west. The main house uh has a septic system for four bedrooms located
here with with existing thousandgalon tank. The main house originally when this was repaired back in 2015 was a four bedroomedroom house. The man on board, Mr. Marsh. It was two families, one up, one down. He gutted the house
out and the board house come in to confirm that there's two bedrooms in this main house. This cottage out front has its own assess pool. So now that there's two bedrooms in here, two bedrooms in here. So the four bedroomedroom septic will uh receive the
surge from the cartage, get rid of the cess bowl and tie directly into the tank. So that eliminates a cessful on this uh it's not a barrier beach but it's a coastal beach. Uh so it's a pretty simple project cutting off the white PFO and
the sess connected to the existing tank. There's no change in grades. Everything stays the same. That's pretty much it. Chris, Mr. Chairman, members, Thomas Kamosh Santos LLC, 149 West Beach Road. This is a request of the determination
of applicability filed by Westport Environmental Design. Report date is April 22nd, 2025. Um I believe the board of health has considered this. Lenny, do you just had this tonight? No, Monday night. No
need for a formal board meeting on this. This is not needed board of health approval. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Uh detailed description of work the owner has filed to replace a 4in septic pipe connection to an existing septic tank. An existing cesspool will be decommissioned per
title 5. The work is for the existing structures that have been existing for many years. The work is within a flood zone ve zone but will not cause any adverse effect to the flood area. No change in elevation is proposed as Mr.
Per mentioned. uh resource area to be impacted. This work is flood zone. Uh recommendations to the board. The Westport Conservation Commission should approve the proposed work with a negative box 2 determination for 149 West Beach Road.
Any questions? L question. Is this a septic system or just a tight tank? No, it's a septic system. Full system. Okay. We installed this system back in 2015. All right. Any questions from the table? No. All right. Look for a motion.
So I move to approve the plan for 139 West Beach Road with a negative box to determination. Second. That was Phil and Jason. All in favor? Opposed. All right. That's unanimously. Thank you.
Susan Areronosi at all 200 CN neck road. This is also a septic again. Len part of Westport viable design here for Susan Aronowski at 206 cabinets neck road. This is the you're on cabinets neck road. This is
the last house on the left hand side on the east side of cabin's neck road. the river is solid right in here. Um it's a four bedroomedroom existing home accessible located as I show between the shed the two sheds and what we proposed
to do was to install something tank here and pipe it into a four bed system using the quick four chambers. The closest uh area of concern is the top of the coastal bank which runs right along here
like this. You this property essentially is level elevation 22 21 and 20. Then it drops down. It's like a glacial cut that sweeps right on down to the river. The wetland's edge is back right along side
of the river shore here. The um it's all I can do with what I have. the wells being concerned and all that and uh it's just the best solution that I can come up with. There's really no changing grade at all. The water table
is deep. So everything gray stays pretty much as it is and it's a matter of installing the tank put in the new leech field and get rid of that susful. That's what they're trying to do. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members. Susan
Aravski, 206 Cadman's Neck Road. Uh this is a request for determination of applicability filed by Westport Environmental Design. The report date is April 22nd, 2025. Uh again, this requires board of health approval as well. Description:
The owner has filed to repair the existing sewage disposal system to a title 5 design. The existing cesspool will be decommissioned per title 5 and filled in place. The new septic tank is within the 100t buffer zone to the Westpar River. The leeching area is
designed 66 ft as far from the edge of the river that is feasible given the other well radiuses from abudding lots. The leeching area will be also be 12 ft from the top of the coastal bank which as Lanny mentioned is uh the only scenario that he can do with the well
radiuses. So it is slightly uh not title five compliant per se because it's supposed to maintain a 25- foot setback from the bank. But given the circumstances, I I don't see what else there is to do. So, resource areas impacted by this is flood zone and
buffer zone. Recommendations to the board. The Westport Conservation Commission should approve the sewage disposal system repair uh for 206 Cadins Neck Road with a negative box 3 determination. Actually, it should be a negative box two determination. I'm
sorry. Negative box two determination. Pending board of health, too. pending board of health. Board of Health approved the plan last night. We had concerns about the wells findings, but essentially once we have that water
Thank you. situation away. So, you're all set with the board health. Okay. Yep. We're all set with board health. All right. Questions? No questions? A motion, please. I reapprove the disposal system repair with a negative box three determination.
Box two. Second. Okay, that was Bur and Phil. All in favor? I opposed. All right, that's unanimous. Thank you, Lenny. Thank you. First hearing for the night. Thomas Hannah, notice of intent 143 Cherry and Web
Lane, SC82788. Construct accessory dwelling unit over the garage and septic upgrade in the riverfront. Thank you, D. This is the next door to sell. Mhm. Next door 143. Right next door. Yeah. The one
that totally rebuilt to the right. Yeah. Nice. Coming out nice. Yeah. How are you? I'm good. Good evening. Uh Mr. Chairman, commission members. For the record, I'm Dave Deman from Schneider Devner Leone here representing Thomas and Joy Hannon uh for 143 Cherry
and Web Lane. Um this is a property that um has approximately 68,800 square ft of lot area. It's bordered by a chairing web lane on two sides. The Westport Harbor on the north side and develop residential property along the west side. This is a pro a project that was
uh previously uh approved by the uh the Westport Conservation Commission um back in 2010. a very similar project, I should say, um where the prior owner proposed construction of a garage attachment to the house and the
construction of a new driveway coming in from the east um sort of at the midpoint of the S-curve for Cherrywood Lane. Um the work that did occur back then was the clearing of the land for the driveway. Uh the garage was proposed to have its finished floor above base flood
elevation of 12. Um it was proposed to be on columns open pile foundation but the driveway had to ramp up to get up to 12 because the grades are are somewhere around 7 8 9 give or take. So the work that did occur under that old order was
the construction of the the bringing in of fill the clearing of land for that driveway. So the area has been maintained as a sort of a a rising grade lawn area if you will. Um so the the design uh for this project is uh very
very consistent what was approved in the past. Garage is generally speaking in the same locations 24 by 36. The uh secondary aspect of of the project is to build an ADU unit above uh the garage um as allowed now by uh Massachusetts. Um
and then utilize that cleared area to create a crush shell driveway. Um so that will involve an increase in number of bedrooms for the house. The existing home was built in 1980. Um the existing septic system consists of a thousand-gallon tank and a concrete
float flow diffuser chamber leeching field both located underneath the deck. Not the ideal situation. Um, we're proposing to put in a ditentrification septic tank and a pressure dose eligen bleaching field in the front of the house
uh in full compliance with title 5. So, this project is uh all the work is located outside of the riverfront boundary of the Westport River, Westport Harbor. Uh, that blue line that you see is a 200 foot riverfront boundary. We
are obviously working on a coastal green system as not by CZM. It's it's considered a barrier beach. Um and it's land subject coastal storm flowage flood zone elevation 12. Uh we do have a D file number. There
were no comments. So with that I'd be happy to answer any questions. Thank you Chris. Mr. Chairman and members Thomas Hann and 143 Terry and Web Lane. This is an alosa intent filed by Schneider Devn Leon with Dave Dignen representing. The
report date is April 22nd, 20125. The file number with no adverse comments is SE802788. Uh this will require board of health approvals. Site visit was also on April 22nd, 2025. Description of the work the owner
has filed to construct a garage with a one-bedroom AD ADU unit above. The site has a previous 2010 approval to construct a garage. Some work was completed under that order to raise the property off of Cherry and Web Blaine. The driveway access was alo also
previously opened along that section of the road. The garage will be built on an open pile foundation with a garage floor elevation above the flood elevation of 12. A 75 ft stone block retaining wall on the south side of the new driveway will be required to limit the amount of
grading required. The driveway would be con crush shells. The previous filing had reduced the west driveway that is currently used. This this application of driveway will also be reduced and 1,000 square ft of mitigation plantings
proposed maintaining a 3-foot section uh foot three-foot walkway to the rear of the home as the homeowner had requested. So, they are eliminating a good section of that driveway you see um currently on the west side of the structure. Uh the
garage apartment will require an upgrade of the septic system to a four-bedroom design. The new leeching area will be constructed in front of the home and includes a denitrification component. No work is proposed within the riverfront area. The project meets the requirements
for work in a coastal dune area with this open pile design. The retaining wall is similar to others in the area. Um, and I don't think it would be uh deflecting off any flood waters and cause harm to anybody. This garage will also infiltrate all roof runoff into a
dry well system uh which is beneficial to the area. Um, resource areas to be impacted are the flood zone and barrier beach coastal dune area. Recommendations to the board. The West Conservation Commission should approve the proposed
one-bedroom ADU garage with septic upgrade with conditions that 1,000 square ft of mitigation plantings be installed to rel reduce the westerly driveway size. Uh I should mention that the planting scheme and associated
plantings are acceptable as indicated on the plan of record. Mr. Chairman, thank you. Do you have any questions, Dave? No second. Any questions from the table? No. Any questions from the audience? That's
easy. Not no questions. We'll take a motion. I'll make a motion to uh One second. Is it this subject to border health, too? Yes. Okay. Go ahead. I'll make a motion to approve the plan subject to board of health approval. Second. Jason and Kevin. All in favor? I
opposed. All right. Thanks for your time. Thanks, Dave. Good night, Dave. All right. Next, we have the Headtown Landing Country Store, Inc. Notice intent 488 Old County Road upgrade septic system and riverfront and land
subject to coastal storm floor sea. Is this one? Yeah. SE8 2796. Anybody here for the town heading? Are we continuing this? I thought there would be somebody here to open the hearing. Mr. Chairman. All right. Move
for continuous for four weeks, two weeks. Are we I would say if the U green cards aren't here, Mr. Chairman, two weeks would be in order. All right. I would notify the neighbors or the people that may be in the audience. All right. So, uh looking for a motion. There's no
representation to continue the hearing for the head headtown landing SE82796 for 2 weeks. When is what is that? What's our next meeting? Oh, May 13th. May that' be May 13th.
A motion. Motion to continue. All right. May 13th. Second. Second from Phil. All in favor? Post. So, anybody here for this filing? It'll We'll be back on the 13th. You're welcome.
Okay. David Mora, notice of intent. 144 Cherry and Web Lane. Notice of intent. After the fact filing to construct elevated dune staircase, landing, walkway, and back dune plantings in the coastal resource area, barrier beach,
and land subject to coastal storm flow. How are you? Good evening, folks. My name is Chris Trader. I'm a weapon scientist with Goddard Consulting. Do you have the green cards, the notification cards? Uh, I believe they they should have been mailed or sorry, emailed to you, Chris, uh, from Jessica
from my office. Did you? Uh, I assume within a day or so of submitt. Did that not make it to you? I don't think I received any green for this. Okay. Well, that could be on us then. Yeah. I honestly I do not recall any
email from your office uh except the conversation we had together about the deficiencies in the application. Right. So we're going to have we're going to have to continue this now. We can't open the hearing without it. Noted. All right. So two weeks. Yeah, that sounds good. We're
waiting for heritage comments anyway. Should be by the first. All right. So we need to continue the David Moore notice of intent 144 Chair Lane. That's SE82795 for two weeks which is May 13th. Take a stop my so you can see what my
concerns were which yeah we need a motion. I'll make a motion to continue. Second from Jason and Kevin. All in favor. All right, that's your nano sale on Deont Soua and Nicholas notice of intent. Markart Drive construct storm
water basin and outfall pipe for construction of Mark Drive in the buffer zone. Anybody here for this one? Okay. Do we have a few things? Are these the current green cards? They are already in the provided correct. All right. Thank
you. All right, moving right along. Yeah, I again I could have predicted that. I don't know. Microphones on. What? They should have microphones on. Oh, you guys need to have your microphones on. They're getting
complaints in the from the people on at home. Your rating is going to go down if you don't put your microphone on. ready to get myself in trouble. All right. What do we have?
I have this one right here. I'm I'm fine. Valerie, I use my James Jos Jones voice. You make a little deeper so you know it meets meets the microphone. Go ahead, sir. Uh good evening. Matt Pike with South Coast Engineering here on behalf of the applicant uh for the proposed work
within the buffer zone. um other resources located within the Marcott Drive subdivision. Um so the approved uh subdivision is located at assess assesses plat 52 lot 28. Um that is on the east side of Drift Road about a mile
south of Old County Road. Um currently the lot is accessed from drift road by approximate 10 foot gravel uh cart path uh which will further be developed to 22 foot wide uh paved way with HMA BMS per
this town's uh planning subdivision bylaw. Um in hold this site contains approximately 16 acres. Within the 16 acres there's two wetland areas. See this is the northern part of
the property. You see a wetland here which extends to the southern property wide and there's a smaller wetland in this location. Um so the storm water flow path generally runs from north to south and terminates at the wetland area. Um
all the proposed work in grade and maintain the existing storm water flow path. The proposed work and disturbance has been kept to a minimum in order to preserve um the site's natural conditions and green space. Um erosion controls will be deployed prior to any
work and maintain until the areas are stabilized. The storm water system as designed complies with the 10 uh mass D storm water management standards as well as the town of Westport storm water quality and quantity control regulation.
Um that includes but not limited to uh treating discharges attenuating peak rates uh recharging provided water quality volume control and the provision of construction period erosion control and pollution prevention plan and also an operation and maintenance uh plan for
the system. Um so as for the system the storm water from the roadway will be uh directed to catch basins uh leading to a closed conduit drainage system. that closed conduit system will discharge to a sediment floor bay which leads to an
infiltration basin which will then overflow um as needed to a flat end. So you have the roadway here you have a closed conduit system will travel here to a fall bay to the um the main
system and then overflow to this here. Um so all the discharges for all storm events are are at a non-roedive velocity. Uh the storm water system it's it will reduce the uh total suspended solids by more than 80%. The actual I
believe is 89 and it's also going to reduce the rate volume of runoff for all the storm events um up to and and beyond the 100. Um the a minimum of uh 25 foot undisturbs of the on-site wetlands will
be maintained. So the closest point here is just to put the sedimentation sock in uh for clearing for that. 25 ft and I believe you have another 25 foot area basically 25 foot buffer around the whole
um well there um lastly imper imperous surfaces have been minimized resulting subdivision will be over 80% green space um that's over 13.5 acres of the 16 acres um in addition here the applicants council
Chris Alfin is here tonight um as well if the commission has any questions for And now I'll turn it over to the commission. Thank you, Chris. Chairman, members to Pont, Souzer, and Nicholas. This is um Marcart Drive off of Drift
Road. Notice intent application filed by South Coast Engineering. Matt Pike representing. Report date is April 24th, 2025. There is a file number with no adverse comments. It's SC802797. Um just for reference, this is
basically a buffer zone project. The majority of what they represent is not within the commission's jurisdiction uh for the roadway construction. Homes on the other hand, some of those may be within our jurisdiction, but for reference tonight, we are looking just
at the stormwater basin that is on the southernly end of the culdeac. The pros road development off of drift road has been approved by the planning board. The road design is entirely out of the buffer zone except for the storm water drainage area. The wetland limits are
approved and still valid under the ORAD that was issued. The drainage basin is designed to meet the storm water standards and remove 80% of the total suspended solids. This will be achieved with a pre-treatment sediment for day within the infiltration basin. The soils
are consistent and suitable for infiltration. Uh in this area they have inch and five to inch and two sandy uh gravel material on this site. Uh the outlet control structure will be discharged out of the rear of the basin
and will terminate 25 ft from the edge of the BVW. Rip wrap splash aprons will be included. The drainage calculations have been provided uh and very specific on the design before you. The BMS will be seated and stabilized
um before any storm water discharges into the basin. Uh this is my recommendation. Uh they have provided a construction pollution prevention plan uh within their storm water um packet as well as an operation and maintenance plan uh is included detailing the
maintenance of the site during and after construction. Um something for reference an MPDES permit will be required for this project um and should be provided or record of that should be provided to the commission. Erosion controls are
shown to be erected around the disturbed area uh associated with this storm water basin. So resource areas to be impacted on this project is buffer zone. Recommendations for the board. The Westport Conservation Commission should approve the storm water infiltration
basin and outlet pipe with standard conditions uh with uh separate conditions rather basin to be constructed early in the proposed development with the area stabilized before discharging storm water. Uh an MPDS permit will be required and also
the construction pollution prevention plan and the operation and maintenance plan shall be part of the order conditions for the record. That is all. Mr. Chairman, you have any questions, Matt? No, I don't. Thank you. John, you have any questions? Look, just
to kind of clarify, um, the the project has been allowed to move forward somehow via the planning board, but the planning board didn't vote in favor of this. Correct.
Excuse me. They they said that please. Yeah. Uh attorney Christopher Alfred Glatman Street Law Offices in Conquered. Uh the planning board did approve this event. It wasn't approved, but they voted the original vote was a five
nothing unanimous vote. Unanimous vote opposed to the project. That's right. And then no one seems to be able to explain the mechanism that resulted in either was it incompetence, was it how did this go
from the will of the people, 150 people at a meeting, five to zero unanimous vote to here we are with a project. Can you connect those dots? Uh I don't think that that's really the preview of conservation commission tonight, but I think it's important enough for people
to know that 150 people attended a meeting, a five nothing vote, and here we are. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Well, there's legal standards that you have to meet under subdivision control law. There was limited waiverss and so the board did issue and grant the permit. Okay. Let it go. Any other questions? Any questions
from the audience? All right. Okay. I have to make one more comment just, you know, I I live here. I love this town and how I may or may not vote. I don't want to be misconstrued of how I feel about the
project. I um may not vote no because I don't want to potentially involve Chris in an appeal that doesn't fall within our purview. So, I hate the project. All right. And I don't I want people to know
why I'm voting the way I'm voting. It's just because it's not within our purview. All right. All right. Do we have a motion? If no questions. Um so I will move to approve the storm water infiltration basin and outlet pipe
with standard conditions basin constructed early in the proposed development with area stabilized before discharging discharging storm water and uh subject to the NPDES permit being uh secured. Thank you. We have a second.
Thank you Burke. That was failing Burke. All in favor? Opposed? All right. All right, that's unanimous. Thank you, John. Thank you. Sean made it. Green does. Is he here? Oh, there he is. Charles

Okay. uh Toronto Norththeast Engineers representing Charles Cowing. This project has number 0802798. What's happening here? This is at this lot on the 424 C River Road, but it's at the end of Putting Stone Lane. Uh just at the ending stone lane up
here, there's a drainage basin for Putting Stone Lane right in front of this lot. Uh it's a detention basin that was when subdivision was designed. comes off and fall into here. This is the existing conditions plan. The existing condition plan there's an existing
cottage that is unstalled in many opinion. Uh it's a one and a half story uh was in tough shape. The chimneys falling over uh and they wish to rebuild it. There are resource areas. Uh one is a flood zone. The be flood zone is not
in the E zone right now is coastal bank with limit of the 100 by the slope. It's the limit of the 100redyear flood plane. Uh, of course, and then there's riverfront areas. There's a 100 foot riverfront area and a 200t riverfront area, which basically takes up all the
area on the lot. What they're proposing to do is to knock down this house, which is slightly in the 100 foot, put up another house, uh, fairly modest house almost in the same area, actually moving it out of the 100t buffer zone. Uh, we tried to move it further out. There's an existing leeching field that was
installed in 2016 and we're up against the uh minimum offset for the leeching field for that particular thing uh is 25 ft. We're 27 ft off the leeching field as proposed for this thing. There is no driveway as a informal driveway where
they've been parking on the lawn and actually on the septic tank over the last few years. We planning installing a formal driveway. There will be a onecar garage for this particular residence and deck. Uh to mitigate some of the storm water, we've installed roof drain
infiltration on most of the roof drain. The rest of it, including the drainage from the driveway, will go into a rain garden, which is located here, which will catch all the rain water infiltrated there. We also plan right now the existing septic system off to the side of the house. uh not an ideal
location for the driveway area. We plan on moving the septic system and pump chamber or the septic tank pump chamber over to this side house. Actually making it closer to the existing septic system it should function better. Uh that has not been approved by the board of health. We were waiting for the approval
of the house on this for this hearing. So we moved it out of the 100 foot. We provided drainage storm water drainage and mitigation for the the house itself. We increasing because of the driveway about 1,200 ft of well impervious area even though it's a gravel driveway.
We're treating it as impervious but we're infiltrating it through a rain garden and we're infiltrating all the roof drains into uh basically subdrains. So I think it's a project. We try to be maximum fees. There's nowhere
else we can put this house and not be within the required offset of the leeching field or even in zoning compliance. So that's about it. Thank you, Chris. Mr. Chairman, members, Charles
Cowing, 424C River Road. This is a noticement 10 application filed by Northeast Engineers and Consultants with Shan Leech here representing. The report date is April 25th, 2025. The file number for this project
with no adverse comments is SE802798. Detailed description of the work the owner has filed to demolish a small home and rebuild with a new structure in the riverfront and 100 foot to a coastal bank. Existing conditions are as follows. The home is 1275 ft. The
driveway is 675 square ft. Total area of current impermeable area on the lot is 1,950 square ft. The new proposed home will be raised above the flood elevation um with a finished floor of 24.5 and
will be a total area of uh 1,800 square ft. The proposed driveway, this new driveway is a little larger, would be 1,250 ft. The total disturbance for the new work is 3,50 square ft combined with the
proposed storm water rain garden of 200 square ft. This still falls well under the 5,000 square foot allowance of disturbance that could be permitted or may may be permitted by this commission. The septic tank existing and it needs to
be relocated to the rear of the new home and the pump chamber to connect to the new to the existing title 5 sewage disposal system. A required alternative analysis been provided and repaired in accordance with the maximum extent feasible given that there is no area
outside of the riverfront on the slot. The project under 310 CMR must not be any closer than existing. Uh makes overall site improvements and storm water management is provided. In my opinion, the project as designed meets the standards for development in the
riverfront area for a structure that predates 1995. Grading of the driveway will divert water to a proposed proposed rain garden in an effort to improve the current conditions. Roof runoff is also directed into a dry well system. Resource areas
to be impacted as riverfront flood zone and buffer zone to a coastal bank. Recommendations for the board. The Westport Conservation should approve the project to rebuild the new home and re relocate the septic components uh with
the installation of a uh rain garden and dry wells with standard conditions because we have received the file number. That is all, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Sean. Any questions? Any questions from the the commission?
Sean, how many feet approximately is the river edge to Sanford Flat? the edge is right across literally right there. Yeah. I mean, is is there room to put a dock there and pass on that side
or is it that shallow where you couldn't pass on that? It's got an existing dock on it. Uh it's pretty shallow out front and more for utrofification than anything else in that particular area. It's like a little I want say like a little cove. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Well, the cove is a little just to the other
side. Yeah. Exactly. Okay. Any other questions? The the commission any questions from the audience? Yes. I'm sorry. You can just dog. I'm allergic to
Literally, I have all the time. How are you? You can just state your Well, you know the drill. State your name up here if you could and Okay. Yeah. Write the microphone. That's good. State your name and um just um and ask a question. Constance. Um I assume I'm sorry to be to be late. Y'all are quick tonight.
Well, we had a couple cancellations. Oh, okay. Constance ski. Um I neighbor uh I'm very happy uh for the cowings to finally be able to get this project go because it's been a long time coming. So, I I'm behind them 100% and um happy
for them. Um and I just came in, so my only concern, which I'm sure that they'll take care of, I just wanted to make sure was uh any sort of um of water runoff uh onto the property. Um
because the the newest houses, two larger houses that were built up the road, neither one of them have gutters. and and there's a lot of prop there's significant runoff that go comes down the lane way and ultimately I'm at the
LA I'm at the very bottom and so I get a take a lot of water when there's a huge storm and uh so I was concerned about that and one one which it sounds like they're thinking a lot they're already thinking about that and going to address that which is great um and the other
concern I have and I don't know if it's under your jurisdiction or not but I thought I would ask um is that the laneway uh is not in great shape and I'm uh I after I did my construction I
regraded the whole thing and um but that has not happened with subsequent construction so ultimately uh I've been really the main person that has been doing all the maintenance on that road and uh it gets a little expensive so I'm
just hoping that after this construction is Ruth because I know it'll just it'll be probably pretty um beaten up if if if it could be put back where hopefully it it functions as it should, which is
that the uh the water that comes down the laneway goes into especially the last ditch goes into the um what do you call it? the entry pond. The what? The extension pond. Yeah. That
it that actually will go in there and not and and not get not just sort of come down into my basement. So, yeah, the extension pond so that all of that works should it be um disturbed with all the big trucks coming and out. So, the as far as the road's concerned, we do
not have any purview over that. But as far as the runoff, are you doing um drywalls or what are you doing? He's going to uh I want to say installing a good word uh uh driver to take care of some of that problem that she mentioned. There is an agreement though I thought
with between all the stone lane people and to maintain that road as part of the subdivision, but I don't know if it's being maintained. Well, that's Yeah, that's what are you doing for the roof runoff? Well, this the roof runoff is all going into infiltration basins except this one
side which is going into a rain garden which is located just before this large several large trees. Right. So, is the rain garden right on our adjoining property? Is that it's about 10 ft off uh between you know where the big trees are and your house is right over here.
Uhhuh. So, uh, basically it's going to take all the runoff which is coming in here and infiltrate it rather than letting it run all over the place. So, the rain go the rain guard should improve the what conditions are now. Yeah. Currently, there's nothing. I mean, it just goes down along the property line
essentially. This will take care of all that. Yeah. So, hopefully that should make it better. And the other side of the house goes into underground stuff. Nothing being diverted to your property if that's what you're concerned. In other words, we're taking everything and diverting it away into the rain. Okay?
And the other side is underground storage, right? And all the other parts are undergroundation bases. Okay? You won't see those. Okay. That's the only thing we can do with this driveway the way it is and how deep that hill is. That's the only thing you can do basically to take care of the storm water. Okay. All
right. Um All right. Well, that's that's good to hear. And you feel pretty confident that that'll work nicely. Yeah. Well, rain gardens are better. They're better looking. I don't really know what a rain garden is. So, it's basically a small depression where they put plants and bone and whatnot and they
trace the water but allow Uhhuh. the plants take up the water. Yes. Things take up the water. Okay. And that's the water that would be coming down from the lane way along that side of the house. Okay. All right. Well, we're good. I

I have uh member Phil Weinberg had discussed with me a consideration for Pineriidge Estates which is a chapter 40B proposed development off of Westport
Lakes Road off of Route 177. Uh Phil and I discussed the storm water design that is being proposed because there has been some contention on what is proposed and what is requested by the consultant
engineer. Um so I wanted to I don't know if Phil wanted to add to this but I think we have a time to approve this at the next meeting if uh Phil wanted to come up with a comments and we can put them in a letter fashion. So, I don't
know if you wanted to add anymore. I know you went back and forth with Matt a little bit. Yeah, I think it's it's a um basically comments to the ZBA so that in their decision making, they consider what our concerns are through the
process. Uh we are not one that gets booted from the process and and relative as the planning board does, the board of health and conservation stay within the state minimum requirements of the law. So, Yeah. Uh so
um so the uh the the uh disagreement between the applicant and uh the consultant for the um for the ZVA is that the applicant has been arguing that um all that should be required to manage
the storm water is a detention basin. um uh based on their perception of what the um characteristics of the soil are. And um and the consultant um has is making
the case that based on looking at those same uh soil characteristics that uh the stormwater um regulations would require an infiltration basin. And and it's not
totally and like Chris said, eventually it'll come to us. It's not totally clear um what I if at the there's a meeting happening on the 21st of May. May 21st. Yeah.
Something like that. you know, as to so we have an opportunity to comment on that and um and based on what I've read, um I think the consultant makes a good case for it and and and uh to be the
infiltration basin. And so, um, so I don't really know whether or not the ZBA will just essentially kick the plan to us or will make a determination that the plan that they approve will have the infiltration basin. And I don't
think this is part of what the applicant is looking for a waiver from. I think it's just a technical dispute at this point. So I do think it would be um worthwhile to comment on
um and or it I think we um it could be worthwhile to us if we you know I if based on this final discussion at the ZBA
um to send a signal to the applicant that if they come before us either we're fine with the detention basis or we really think it should be the infiltration basin. So, it was really an agreement to submit a comment on this. Do you want to put the comment together and distribute it before the next meeting so we can discuss it and vote on
it? Yeah, Chris and I, you know, we'll work on it together, but get it to his next work on it together and and see if um because I certainly if the consultant um you know, kind of convinces the ZBA, they might tell the applicant or come
back with a plan that has an infiltration base and that's the one that we're going to approve. Um or they could, you know, be neutral about it. We'll just have to see. and then the battle will be reenacted here for us.
Um, and yeah, so I agree with Phil. I'd rather have a one-stop shop plan that's created with So So why don't you guys put a letter together, get it before us, we get get it distributed before the meeting, then people can read it. We'll discuss it, vote on it, and then we can
send it out, which will be the 13th, and their meeting is the 21st, so that's fine. Yes. And I'll put Jalo, can you put that under discussion for next meeting, please? What is the It's called the Pine Ridge Estates 40B. You put that after it. It'll be
Thank you, Phil. All right. Anything else? That's all I have, Mr. Chair. Is that the Is that the the subdivision or the development like a big T? That that was the old be 55 and older housing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Start off. It's going to be a big
T. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, it's um 38 homes and 10. 38 homes and 10 40B um 40B projects. All right. Now that we'll look for a motion to adjurnn, please. I'll make a motion to adjurnn. Second. That was Jason and
Burr. All in favor? Opposed? That's unanimous sale.
