Mark Coakley will contact Mike Andrade and inform him of what needs to be reviewed. Jeff Walsh stated that if Graves Engineering is hired by the Commission for review, he will recuse himself from the matter since he is an employee. Mr. O’Connell stated that he would have no problem with Jeff taking part in the matter. The Stormwater Control Application was received tonight. M. Coakley will contact Richard Baker (Planning Board) about coordinating with them. All further discussions regarding the plans were tabled until review by Graves. Pertaining to the
$5,000 requested by the Commission in October 2008 which is needed for consultants, plan reviews and monitoring, Mr. Venincasa said the bank would like to fund it in increments of $1,000. He was told that he would be provided an estimate for the plan review, but the Commission would still require $5,000 to be put in the account for monitoring, etc. The current balance is $1,175. Mr. Krevosky emailed (and gave a signed copy at the meeting) an Addendum to the Notice of Intent Project Description. Minutes from October 2008 and on were viewed and the applicant told what was needed to be provided to both the Commission and Graves Engineering. The same issues have been ongoing for five months. A site visit was requested and is scheduled for Saturday, March 21st at 8:00 a.m. Mr. Venincasa was again reminded that when the site visit takes place, it does not mean the Enforcement Order is lifted. Stabilization will be needed and an
Order of Conditions with enforceable dates will be required. Elevations for the existing basin have been asked for, but not received. The basin not yet built will have to meet the Commission and DEP regulations. Mr. Venincasa asked if he could start cleaning up and grading. He was told no. Jeff Walsh (as an audience participant) asked the Commission if they could put down grass now. The letter submitted by Mr. Krevosky stated they would loam and seed within the Spring and Summer of 2009. Mr. Walsh would like to see an earlier start. A site visit is needed before a decision can be made. Mr. Krevosky was asked if he filed with MESA. He stated he did not have to per the letter submitted today. He was told that the NOI submittal indicated he had to file with MESA. Mr. Krevosky said he would revise that page before the next meeting. Mr. Venincasa requested a continuance. M.
