Steve Sears (David E. Ross Associates) was in attendance with the applicant. He stated the work is within the 100’ buffer zone. Lynne Remington performed the original delineation in approximately 2002. There is an existing two-bedroom building which will be demolished and rebuilt (with a larger footprint). New wells will be drilled. The deck and steps are approximately 15’-20’ from the BWV; the foundation approximately 20’ away; and wells approximately 30’-40’ away. When asked about any other Boards, Mr. Sears stated that he contacted the Board of Health who did not have any requirements. Plumbing will be required for the pipe connection. The driveway will not be paved. It will be gravel. A site visit will need to be conducted. Mr. Sears will provide data on the delineation prior to the meeting. Action items needed for the next meeting: expand on runoff on the plan; more formal details regarding; long-term stabilization (erosion to pond); silt fence in place of hay
bales; include construction sequence; layout for material storage; storage of heavy equipment when not in operation. Frank Defalco (45 Rocky Pond Road) questioned the structure location. He said it did not show any other dwellings and asked if they should be shown. M. Coakley informed Mr. Defalco that the Commission is only interested in the lot and that the Commission’s concerns are with wetland resources within our jurisdiction. Jackie Bissonette (72 Rocky Pond Road) asked about the zoning change. She was advised that Mr. Sydow did not have to reply since it has no relevance with this hearing. The applicant requested a continuance. M. Coakley motioned to accept the request for continuance to March 17th at 7:15 p.m.; C. Franz seconded; all agreed. A site visit is scheduled for Saturday, March 8th at 8:00 a.m. Melanie will contact Town Counsel for clarification as to whether the applicant has to allow
anyone on the property other than the members on the site visit (public hearing/informal meeting).

Ken Strom (Thompson-Liston) gave an overview. He stated that the footprint has increased approximately 50%. Fourteen acres have been purchased from the Dipilato family and it has been flagged. A .35 acre parcel is also under agreement to be purchased from Ridinger. The stormwater structure has changed. There was a question on how to proceed: new NOI filing or amend the current Order? Mr. Strom will contact their Town Counsel on how to proceed. D. Duffy spoke about the compliance issues and said he was disappointed to see wetland violations. He informed them that better cooperation is needed going forward. He further said that if issues do occur, they should notify the Commission first rather than us being informed about it from another source. Mr. Kozak
(Cutler Associates) stated that they will respond more quickly. Arthur Allen (EcoTec) suggested they block off the main stream and put up barriers (silt fence, berms, sand bags) before removal of the original culvert.
