FINAL
Present for the Conservation Commission and attending the meeting were: Sandy Broyard, Chairman, Candy Shweder, Vice Chairman, Joan Malkin, Chris Murphy, Bob Hungerford, Pam Goff, Maureen Eisner and Chuck Hodgkinson. Reid Silva and Kristen Fauteux also attended.
The meeting came to order at 12:30 PM.
RFD KRISTEN FAUTEUX – SHERIFF’S MEADOW FOUNDATION; Wades Field @ Wades Field Lane and Whiting Way; AP 23-5: Ms. Fauteux reviewed the site plan and resource delineations surrounding approximately 4.9-acres of land in Wades Field. Sheriff’s Meadow would like to have the acreage return to an agricultural use by leasing it to Morning Glory Farm. The land will be used to grow hay for cattle. A mixture of grasses, alfalfa and clover will be planted and harvested. The area will be plowed and treated with lime and other nutrients as determined from on-going soil tests. The 4.9-acres abut the 100-foot buffer zone of a wetland bordering Gilbert’s Cove. Ms. Fauteux added the Foundation requires organic farming on all its agricultural properties. Also, the NHESP
has approved this use provided bounds are installed marking the limits of the farmed land. With no further discussion a motion was made for a negative determination. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously with seven in favor.
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE SE 12 – 204; Fairlawn Ltd. Partnership; 6 Eddy Farm Rd.; AP 25-1.2: Chuck H. explained this is a follow up to the last meeting. An Order was issued in August 1994 to develop the lot with a house, garage, driveway, utilities and septic. Portions of the driveway, parking area house and lawn are within the 100-foot buffer zone of a Bordering Vegetated Wetland. The closest activity was 75 feet from the wetland edge. He added there are two on-going conditions that should be outlined in the Certificate. Mr. Silva confirmed there is no underground storage of fuel oil. The property does have a buried propane tank. With no further comment a motion was made to accept the report and declare the project in full compliance
with on-going condition numbers 14 and 17 from the Order of Conditions. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously with seven in favor.
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE SE 12 – 715; MARIN STREET; 1 Crowberry Lane; AP 14-19.5: Chuck H. shared photos and explained an Order was issued in October 2014 to install a duplicate set of buried utility lines in an existing right of way and roadway that already has a set of buried utility lines feeding another lot. The roadway and trench goes through a Bordering Vegetated Wetland. Approximately 200 sq. ft. of the roadway within the wetland was temporarily disturbed for the trench. He added that subsequent to issuing the Order the applicant decided to use boring technology in lieu of trenching because it was easier and less disturbing. After brief discussion a motion was made to accept the report and
declare the project is in full compliance. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously with seven in favor.
FOLLOW UP DISCUSSION SE 12 – 752; REID SILVA FOR YOU DIRTY RAT, LLC; 227 North Road; AP 14-9: Mr. Silva explained condition # 2 in this Order that allowed the bridge reconstruction and road maintenance on this property specified: Before work begins the applicant shall return to the Commission with a detailed plan for managing road surface water runoff at least 100 feet on both sides of the bridge. A combination of water bars, specific roadway surface material and a roadway sides drainage system and material shall be considered. A construction erosion control system shall also be presented. Mr. Silva said he is here to review this detail as shown on a site plan dated 12/16/15. He explained the erosion controls will include construction fencing and siltation
barriers – especially in the areas near the stream. The Commission asked if the specific locations for the erosion controls could be added to the site plan. Mr. Silva agreed. With no discussion a motion was made to approve the plan as presented. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved with seven in favor.
