7:05 p.m. Minutes of Commission Meeting held on October 24, 2006 were read, accepted and will be distributed.
It has come to the attention of the Conservation Commission that there is still a lot of water running down Howlett Dr. and Lois Ln., as well as run-off sediment in the brook which runs under Lois Ln during a heavy rain. Our records indicate that excess water was to be pitched off Howlett Dr. and as little as possible run-off coming down the road. The water run-off has created an erosion problem at 7 Howlett Dr., the corner of Howlett and Lois Ln, as well as down Lois Ln to 9 Lois Ln. Following discussion, a motion was made that a letter be sent to Mr. and Mrs. Marcucci of 11 Howlett Dr. requesting that they appear before the HCC to discuss the situation. Approved by all, except Steve Anderstrom who abstained, as he is a neighbor.
James Wettlaufer reported having received several complaints from Mr. LaMountain’s neighbors concerning open burning that continues until 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. at night. Jim is in contact with Mr. Ellis, Deputy Director of the DEP who will help with this problem.
Agent Howard Fife reported that Arthur Quinn, Sanitation Inspector of the Board of Health, approved Robert Patnode’s emergency septic tank replacement while the lake is down. Mr. Patnode will come to the HCC with necessary documentation.
Procedure Sheet #2006-1144 issued to Douglas Frechette of 360 Mashapaug Rd., Map R-04-A-03 who wants to cut down a tree, which is being eroded by the wave actions on the lake. He brought in pictures. His fear is of the tree falling. Following discussion, motion to approve the cutting of the tree was made and approved by all, providing that he returns by June 1st, 2007 with a method as to how he plans to stabilize the bank. Robert Scott’s name was given as a resource, having used Coir Logs to correct his erosion problems. Mary vandenBerg signed the Procedure Sheet with the above conditions.
