7:30 pm Hashim, Request for Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation, Land Acquisition Trust, LLC, Pittsfield-Lenox Rd., Map 17 Parcel 41. Continued from September 20, 2007 and Oct. 4, 2007.
In attendance were: Dan Nitzsche of Bay State Environmental and Rob Akroyd of Greylock Design Associates who represent Land Acquisition Trust, LLC. Also in attendance was Emily Stockman, wetland consultant, hired by the Town of Lenox.
At this continued meeting, Mr. Nitzsche presented a modified plan and attempted to address all of the concerns mentioned by Emily Stockman. (SEE ANRAD Review letter dated Oct. 16, 2007.) This included a possible modification of the delineation of the wetlands at the meadow at Routes 7 & 20, and the delineation between BVW and stream bank on the eastern side of the property. It was determined that there should be another site visit with Mr. Nitzsche, Ms. Stockman, and the Conservation Commission to make a final determination that would address concerns cited in the letter along with concerns of the Commission.
It was decided that the site visit would be on Friday, October 26, 2007 at 2:00 pm.
RFC made a motion to continue the meeting to November 1, 2007 at 7:30 pm. DL seconded the motion and the Commission agreed 6-0.
8:00 pm Shakespeare, Map 7 Parcel 22, Rob Hoogs, of Foresight Engineers. Update.
Present at the meeting were:
Rob Hoogs, Foresight Land Services
Nick Puma, Executive Director of Shakespeare and Company.
Mr. Hoogs told the Commission that an Order of Conditions (#198-0226) was issued a year ago relative to the BPAT building. He brought a final design which included minor changes and asked the Commission if the changes were significant enough to require an amended Notice of Intent.
After reviewing the revised plan, dated October 12, 2007, the Commission determined the changes were not significant enough to warrant an amended NOI.
Other business:
· Minutes of October 4, 2007: DL made a motion to accept the minutes and RFC seconded the motion. The Commission approved 6-0.
RFC made a motion to close the meeting and DL seconded the motion. The Commission agreed and the meeting was adjourned at 9:15 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Peggy Ammendola
