Public Hearings
7:45 PM Notice of Intent for the installation of a new subsurface sewage disposal system, new private water supply well, and site grading at 11 Fallon Point Road, Assessor's Map 69, Lot 7 for applicant Donald Sampson, 181 Mattakeesett St., Pembroke represented by Land Planning, Inc., 1115 Main St., Hanson, MA. (New Hearing) (DEP #175-436)
Craig Nicholson read the Public Hearing Notice and the green cards were checked. Mr. Munro of Land Planning, Inc. presented a septic upgrade plan to bring the system into compliance. The old cesspool is to be pumped and filled. The new septic is out of the 50-foot no disturb zone. Ms. Delaney said the plan is accurate and recommends approval. However, a shed to be raised is actually outside the proposed haybale line. She suggests the haybales go around it.
Motion to approve the NOI pending an Order of Conditions: Ron Grattan
Second: Craig Nicholson
Vote: 3-0-0
8:00 PM Request for Determination of Applicability for the expansion of a deck at 117 State Street, Assessor's Map 96, Lot 0012-02 for owners Thomas & Jane Finn represented by Jeremy Barstow, 19 Elko St., Apt.4, Brighton, MA. (New Hearing )
Craig Nicholson read the Public Hearing Notice and the green cards were checked. Mr. Barstow presented a plan for extending a deck deemed unsafe about 8’ feet in either direction. Ms. Delaney
inspected and suggests approval as it clearly meets setback requirements.

8:15 PM Notice of Intent for the proposal of an addition and parking with associated grading at 2 Main Street, Assessor’s Map 38, Lot 5 for V.S.H. Realty/Cumberland Farms, 777 Dedham St., Canton, MA 02021 represented by Land Planning, Inc., 1115 Main St., Hanson, MA (New Hearing) (DEP #175-438)
Craig Nicholson read the Public Hearing Notice and the green cards were checked. Mr. Munro of Land Planning presented a proposal to block in the store with an addition and put in additional parking. In 1997, a fuel leak from the tanks in front was discovered and subsequently cleaned up and new tanks installed. There is a question as to who made the certification. Mr. Lindquist has concerns with storm water runoff as only one catch basin is shown on the plan. Ms. Delaney made an inspection and also has concerns with discharge from adding additional parking spaces. Mr. Munro said that there are no new parking spaces proposed, the area is only being squared off. However, more research is needed and a Zoning hearing is scheduled for Aug. 17th.
Motion to continue the hearing until August 24, 2004 pending research and a decision from Zoning Board of Appeals: Craig Nicholson
Second: Ron Grattan
Vote: 3-0-0
8:30 PM Continued Notice of Intent for construction of a single family house and associated site work within the 100-foot buffer zone at 108 Pleasant St. (Rear) Map 32, Lot 37-1 with Richard & Melly Eaton represented by Grady Consulting, Inc., 39 Pond View Drive, Kingston, MA 02364. (DEP #175-437)
This hearing was continued from July 13, 2004 (See minutes). Grady Consulting submitted a letter saying they would not be attending this hearing. Ms. Delaney had made an inspection and it was her opinion that the wetland line was delineated very conservatively and she suggests approving the Notice of Intent.
Motion to approve NOI with an Orders of Conditions: Craig Nicholson
Second: Ron Grattan
Vote: 3-0-0
8:45 PM Continued Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation to determine the accuracy of the wetland line at 162 Industrial Blvd., Assessor’s Map 59, Lots 17-7 & 17-8 for J & G Mgmt. LLC represented by Coneco Engineers & Scientists, 4 First St., Bridgewater, MA 02324 (DEP #175-427) – continued on next page

This hearing had been continued from July 13, 2004 (See minutes). The Board of Commissioners was waiting for an up-dated plan showing the new location of one wetland flag. This plan was received and reviewed by Ms. Delaney and the Board and was approved.

Vote: 3-0-0
9:00 PM Continued Notice of Intent for construction of access drive, utilities, buildings and related grading partially within the 100-foot buffer zone at 255 rear Liberty St., Assessor's Map 82, Plot 6-1 for Dennis Leary, 2 Columbia Rd., Pembroke, MA represented by Keefe Assoc., Hudson Park Realty Assoc.

9:15 PM Notice of Intent for construction of an addition to the existing structure at 1139 Main St., Assessor's Map 43, Lots 36A & 36B for owner Angelo D’Emilia, Demco Enterprises, 31 Perkins St., Bridgewater, MA 02324. (DEP #175-) (New Hearing)
Craig Nicholson read the Public Hearing Notice and the green cards were checked. Mr. D’Emilia
purchased this property and has a permit for a septic upgrade. Mr. D’Emilia would like to put an addition on the building and is presently waiting for approval from the Zoning Board of Appeals. He would like to know if the Conservation Commission is amenable to his plans before he goes any further with an Engineer. The Board was certainly open to any improvement in that area. However, Ms. Delaney thinks that this might be in the riverfront area in which case Mr. D’Emilia would have to file additional paperwork with the State and the Conservation office.
Motion to continue hearing until August 24, 2004 pending further investigation and a DEP #: Ron Grattan
Second: Craig Nicholson
Vote: 3-0-0
9:30 PM Request for Determination of Applicability for the installation of a septic system within the 100-foot buffer zone of a Bordering Vegetated Wetland at 68 Whitman St., Assessor's Map 106, Lot 0006B-02 for owner Nicholas Renzulli represented by Alan J. Dias General Contracting, 1 Snow St., Monponsett, MA. (New Hearing) – continued on next page
Craig Nicholson read the Public Hearing Notice and the green cards were checked. Alan Dias presented a proposal for a septic upgrade as the existing cesspool had failed. Ms. Delaney had inspected the property and her assessment was that the wetland line was accurate. However, she had observed debris in the wetlands, cinderblocks and tires, etc. that should be cleaned out by hand. Mr. Dias had no problem with that. Mr. Lindquist read off the abutter’s list. None were present.
