Ms. Peterson will provide two more copies of the revised plans dated July 28, 2010 and one copy of the Stormwater Report dated June 21, 2010. Ms. Peterson will also confirm that all current plans have been copied to DEP. The stormwater annuity principal of $64,000 was also discussed.

feet from the resource area. The system would pump into the new leach field that would be located outside the 100 foot buffer zone. There would be little disturbance as the area is currently lawn. Special Conditions discussed

The Commission scheduled a site walk for and Enforcement Order for Mechanic Street, Dave Brown, on Monday, August 16th at 6:00 PM to assess the progress that the owner is making addressing the violation.
George Holmes stated that Ann McMenemy has submitted information on permanent wetland flagging as requested by the Commission in response to the applicant’s request for another Extension to Order of Resource Delineation, DEP #105-559 (The Shoppes). The Board discussed both the advantages and disadvantages of installing aluminum wetland tags on trees and also the length of time that the applicant proposes to complete the tasks. The Commission had a clear consensus that we would recommend using the standard vinyl flags to re-establish the wetland boundary. The Board also discussed the applicant’s request for a three year extension. After lengthy discussion, the issue was tabled for further discussion.
Since the Commission has received the recording information for the Certificate of Compliance for 146 North Main St., Marty’s Auto, the Board members voted to authorize the Chairman to write a letter to the Treasurer releasing the replication bond for #105-609.
