III. DISCUSSION

175-5 Elm Street, (Map 39, Lot 8-5)
Agent: Tony Hendricks
ACTIONS: Discuss modification and incomplete site plan items.
Chris Costa began the discussion by summarizing the previous application from 1999 in which the building had been constructed but the site plan was not completed. Ms. Costa stated that the Zoning Commission has a law suit against Stark Properties for failure to complete the site plan. Ms. Costa mentioned that some of their permits have expired as well.
Mr. Stark was present and stated that he has a new site plan and would like the IWWC Commission to review the plan for permit modification and guidance before going back before the Zoning Commission. Paul Smith told Mr. Stark that the Commission members would need to see a complete set of documents addressing any work that was permitted in 1999 but was not done, items different from the 1999 plans that were completed but were altered from the 1999 plans, and the landscape plans and items he would like to do currently complete.
IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. 06-047 Homer Scoville & Old Saybrook Department of Public Works
Application to fill wetlands and re-grade yard to address flooding issues.
28 Willard Avenue (Map 24, Lot 91-1), Residence A District
ACTION: Open Public Hearing.
The applicants, Homer Scoville and Larry Bonin from the DPW were not present at this meeting so the Commission members were unable to ask questions regarding the proposal. Mr. Cameron, a neighbor, was present and summarized the application.
Casey Maracheck, soil and wetland scientist for the IWWC Commission, summarized his findings stating that the wetland area in Mr. Scoville’s yard was a low value wetland but if the vegetation was not mowed and allowed to grow back the wildlife would return.
Paul Smith opened the hearing to the public but no one spoke. Mr. Smith then closed the public hearing for the evening and the Commission members decided to continue the application until the next scheduled meeting on January 18, 2007.
