Bob Crowell from Land Planning presented a revised plan that had just been approved at the meeting with ZBA. Mr. Crowell asked that this hearing be continued as the wetland line will be re-delineated and the plan would be corrected as far as parking and an access easement.

Mr. Lindquist suggested that the project require Engineer review. A Consultant Fee schedule was given to Mr. Crowell.

8:45 PM Notice of Intent for construction of a single family home, driveway and utilities as well as a proposed wetland crossing at 30 Holmes Street, Map 75, Lot 5-1 for Anthony Kolacz represented by Kenneth Thomson, 134 Spring St., Rockland MA (DEP #175-___) (New Hearing)
Dave Harris read the Public Hearing Notice. Mr. Thomson did not have a certified abutters list, therefore the hearing was continued. However, he did make a presentation for a single family, 2-bedroom house on land that has been historically a hayfield. They are proposing a driveway with a stream crossing that has an open-box culvert. The impact to the wetlands would be around 4,200 sq. feet. Because it is less that 5,000 sq. feet of disturbance, Mr. Thomson wants to withdraw the Notice of Intent from a “Limited Project” standpoint. Ms. Delaney had prepared in advance an extensive list of comments that Ms. Nehiley had given to the Commission.
Motion to continue the hearing until March 28th at 9:30 PM pending response to agent comments and receipt of a certified abutters list: Dave Harris
