Public Hearings
8:00 PM Notice of Intent for construction of a single family dwelling with driveway, septic system, utility connections and minor site grading at terminus of Greenbriar Lane, Map 108, Lot 0024A for Arthur Duffy, Bay Farm Development (Local Filing #04-02)
Craig Nicholson read the Public Hearing Notice and the green cards were checked. Richard Kirby of LEC made the presentation for the proposal of a single family home. Mr. Duffy was also present. Ms. Delaney asked why they were filing under the Local By-law. Mr. Kirby answered that a similar filing to the Commission was made in 2000. It was denied. They applied to DEP for approval and obtained a superseding Order of Conditions. However, they have modified the design to protect the interests of the By-Law. A portion of the driveway was reduced to a 9’ width, but is located in the 50-foot no disturb zone. A variance is being requested. Also, a conservation restriction or deed restriction is being proposed to off set a 3,500 square foot
wetland alteration. Ms. Delaney had made a site visit and found the old wetland flags difficult to ascertain. She suggested a requirement of a consultant review fee for a wetland line confirmation and to look at the possibility of a Vernal Pool observed on the site walk. Phil Lindquist read the abutters list. None were present.
Motion to continue the hearing until November 9, 2004 pending receipt of proposals to consultants to review the wetland delineation: Craig Nicholson

Mr. D’Emilia presented a letter requesting approval for this project. He has been granted approval by Zoning for the structure. The original septic design for the previous owner was based on a sieve analysis and the Board of Health had advised him that this was not sufficient for the proposed addition. Mr. D’Emilia had a perc test done and is now awaiting approval from BOH. Ms. Delaney informed Mr. D’Emilia that a Stormwater Management Form must be provided because the site is within the Riverfront area. It would be advisable to revise the Notice of Intent and approach the project as a re-development. It should be demonstrated that existing conditions would be improved. Also, a new, revised plan is required. Bob Crowell from Land Planning,
Inc. indicated that he would revise the NOI and submit the necessary paperwork.
Motion to continue the hearing subject to Board of Health approval, a Stormwater Management Plan indicating compliance with re-development standards and a revised plan: Phil Lindquist
