Attorney Antoniette Webster from Kahan, Kerensky & Capossela came before the Commission. She explained that the applicant has revised their plan to incorporate the recommendations of staff and comments from this Commission. Changes that have been made are as follows: added a channel lining, incorporated maintenance to
the swale and incorporated cattails as requested. Mr. Steele has confirmed with the Town Engineer that all items are in order. The applicant has met with the East Windsor Inland Wetland Commission and they are in agreement with the recommendations offered by South Windsor regarding the channel.
Mr. Dana Steele from J.R. Russo and Associates came before the Commission to represent this application. He explained that on the overall plan a 40 scale inset has been added to the map which shows a blown up detail of the channel area and the proposed lining. The Town Engineer is in agreement with what has been proposed, but may be looking for minor modification to the detail of the installation.
The following is what has been changed since the last meeting:
Maintenance of swale and biofilter, added to the plan.
Phragmites will be removed and note has been added to the plan.
All Town staff comments have been incorporated onto the plans.
Jeff stated that the plan as proposed would create good water renovation, give diversity and create slower velocities and less volume. All items that the Town staff has recommended have been incorporated into the plans. The Town Engineer would like two conditions of approval as follows:
Details of the bedding for the riprap that will be used in the outlet channel.
Size and length of armoring of the channel.
