ROBERT FULLER – PUBLIC HEARING – Notice of Intent (Shrewsbury Street - Map 9, Lot 14)  Level the lot.

Sherry & Robert Fuller were present.  Mr. Fuller submitted a wetland resource evaluation letter, dated September 17, 2010, conducted by Scott Morrison of EcoTec, Inc.  There is a small area which is jurisdictional, but is outside of the property line.  Mr. Fuller was told to use a double row of hay bales and silt fencing for protection.  He was also told the area needs to be stabilized and, if more than one acre is disturbed, a stormwater permit will be needed, along with an earth removal permit.  It was explained to the applicants that in addition to meeting state and federal requirements, there are local regulations that need to be met.  Mr. Fuller asked if he could move gravel now and was told he could move up to 100 cubic yards without a permit.  J. McGrath motioned to close the Public Hearing; C. Franz seconded; all agreed.  M. Coakley motioned to issue a standard Order of Conditions with Special Conditions added requiring double rows of staked hay bales and silt fence to be placed on the northwest corner of the lot to protect the adjacent BVW, and stockpiled material from the property owner’s property across 140 may be put on the site if there is less than 100 cubic yards; J. McGrath seconded; all agreed.  

BRIAN MCDERMOTT – TAHANTO BUILDING PROJECT

Mark Coakley reviewed the Environmental Notification Form that was received today.  Mr. McDermott had questions regarding peer review and said that because there is no line item in the school budget for the project, he would like to get an approximate amount from the Commission so it could be voted on by the committee.  The Members felt that the cost should not exceed $10,000 and could possibly come out of their engineering sub-account.  It was recommended to Mr. McDermott that the OPM/Clerk of Works be knowledgeable and understand the scope of work that will required by the Commission.  In addition, he was told that any reviews completed by DCR and DEP prior to submitting the NOI will help keep costs down.
