The meeting convened at 6:00p.m.
6:00 – 6:26pm Flammer – 439 Main Rd, RDA Failed Septic Replacement
Keith from Kelly, Granger & Parsons was the representative for the Flammer septic replacement. They will be using alternative technologies and a jet bat system and it will be a raised system.

6:26 – 7:57pm D’Alessio – Mt Hunger Rd. Changes to previous SMA NOI and presentation of planting/landscape plans
White Engineering and Okerstrom Lang represented Mr. D’Alessio. They are presenting a new floor plan from the original SMA NOI submitted. Their planting has increased enormously and a concrete retaining wall is to be built. A lot of time was spent on the landscaping and grading and the scope was expanded. All the drainage heads down gently toward the house. The board reviewed the plans and the SMA regulations and determined that the project is approved as submitted with conditions to follow.

Revised plans with revised drainage were presented by White Engineering.
8:01 – 9:00pm Brenner – 42 Elephant Rock Rd. SMA NOI and WPA NOI New house construction with vertical addition and attached garage
Mark from Foresight Land Services represented plans for the Brenners. A chapter 91 license will be sent in (a copy can be found in the packet), and a filing has been made with the Board of Health. A DEP file number has not been issued on this yet but receipt of the packet by DEP is in hand. The board is unable to make a decision on the WPA NOI until a DEP file number has been issued. Questions were asked regarding the work to be done in the wetlands as well as the work to be done in the scenic mountain area. Alex Glover, attorney for Michael Salke and Kashkins, she felt that the notice to abutters fell short on time. Shannon from White Engineering had some questions as a representative for the abutters. This project is going to need to go before the ZBA for a special permit and this has
not been filed as of yet. The board will need info on the thermal system for the well and the species to be planted. This meeting will be continued until the April 10th Conservation Commission meeting.
