Appl. #01-10P – Veteran’s Memorial Park Renovations, southerly of Pleasant Valley Road, Residential A-20 & FP zone.
Mr. Peter DeMallie came before the Commission and explained that this project would consist of one pool, which will become three.
Mr. Galen Semprebon came before the Commission and explained that within the upland review area there is proposed to be a filter building. An existing portion of the pool, a walkway, access to the filter and the bath house already exists within the upland review area. We will be working with the existing grades around the pool and standard erosion and sedimentation control measures will be used.
Answering questions from the Commission, Mr. Semprebon explained that there would be drainage installed under the pool.
Mr. Ray Favreau, Recreation Director for the Town of South Windsor told Commission members that when the water inside of the pool is drained, it is pH balanced, de-chlorinated and then released into the Podunk.
There was a lengthy discussion regarding the organic matter that will need to be extracted from under the pool. Commission members felt this material could be valuable to the Town.
