3.4.24 Conservation Commission

uh welcome to the Conservation Commission meeting being held March 4th uh 2024 one government center uh we're in the city council hearing room uh pursuant to the open meeting laws any person may make an audio or video recording of this public meeting or may transmits the meeting through any medium attendees are therefore advised that such recordings or Transmissions are being made whether perceived or

unperceived by those present and deemed acknowledged and permissible we'll start with roll call to my left Jim Lis Ferrera John brand Paul Amal Nikita Valencia James Hornsby and we have Patty agar head Clerk and uh um planning and conservation agent Dan agar and Craig from frgtv and we are missing Chris Bole okay um can I have a motion to take out of order uh under new business items one

and two uh motion so made seconded roll call I I I yes I sure yes Okie doie guys thank you very

much

so just for the record call thr administrative Community utilities full River Ed Watley from right Pierce could you be sure to talking in the microphone I couldn't hear what you said Ed Watley from right Pierce okay I'll go slower next time I'm hard of hearing so it's not your fault it'll probably be easier Mr chairman if I just get into what what we're here for on this so this is a

request for a certificate of compliance SC 24757 which had to do with the construction of new sewer pump station up on wlson Ro we did receive the request for certificate of compliance and a copy of the asil plans um which I reviewed and then subsequently requested that we get full-size copies of the plans and then also you'll see in my cour um I've requested that asilt topography permitted approved limit of

clearing in Alteration area and asilt limit of clearing and alteration area uh be added to those plans it may be on the plans but without having the full size plans I wasn't able to to discerned um if if the information was there or not the work is complete everything is stable but we should have the updated plans and we can review that so I would recommend that that we table it get

those revised as plans okay I did forget to read this in this is a request for certificate of compliance sc-24 757 owner app Fall River Department of Community utilities project locations 700 Wilson Road uh sensors map is z-4 d001 yep so I did uh receive the request from the conservation office uh last week uh did not get it through going through my emails yet but Mr a did tell

me about it today so we will get revised plans uh we do have this survey that did this work uh now working in the staff and square area so we'll ask them to go over get this stuff right away and get it back to the commission I I think the actual surveyed information is probably in house I think it's just a plan preparation stuff okay that's all so can I have a motion table this motion table

second I I I yes I yes okay next is a request for determination of accessibility d186 owner Paul furland property location 10 Ferry Street assist map is n-14 d002 filed by Wright Pierce engineering a better environment on behalf of this applicant the applicant is proposing a sewer pump station mechanical and electrical equipment replacement replacement of distorted generator house with uh FL hardened

house anchored to a pile Foundation installation by bypass sewer connection to en enable the work to take place outside of fall 25 foot River Front area erosion control uh projections will be installed to prevent uh settlement from escaping the work area before we get started you have the illegal ad oh I'm sorry yeah and just uh to make note it's not me personally enough to app for this

it's from administrator of community utilities for Community utilities just want to be clear on that Paul our company name did not change great thank

you so just for a brief overview of the project so you understand down on Ferry Street uh right next to um the entrance to B en light Marina in front of Pier 52 uh we have a sewer pump station the sewer pump station Services uh the um bord and Remington Mill complex and loads other buildings down in that area on Ferry Street Almond Street and a couple over on Water Street

uh so this is the low Point uh this does have a force main that goes uh up Ferry Street and then eventually ties into our main intercepted drain over next to uh next to uh Broadway the uh the pump station is a very dated Pump Station our plan is to uh rehabilitate this Pump Station um make it flood make a flood proof bu building to be able to house the generator and all the electrical uh

components controls uh and leave a submersible uh pumps within a wet well on the property so the the foundation is going to be on piles there'll be drilled mini piles so um minimal excavation impact but there will have to be some excavation to install a cap on the on the piles um but um it that can all be contained we do have uh two sets of erosion control one of them is just

within the little postage stamp um that the city owns and another one we're proposing on the back side of the walkway um uh which is is um it's in the it's in the 25 foot River Front Zone but it would just be a a compost silt sock just a you know kind of a second line of defense for for erosion controls all right who owns that property uh that is owned by I think

10 um I just want to make sure you have permission to make sure you get a letter from them saying that you can install that there okay yeah we can we can do that I'm sure prior to installation yeah we we'll get a letter from the property owner if not so the proposed activities are minor um utility work the only thing that I I would recommend is that we get a set of

revised plans you can still approve it but conditional upon receiving rise revised plans that indicate all of the resource areas and the buffer zones just label them on the plan and then also show the property boundaries I think you referen it in your notes but there are no property boundaries shown on the plan uh actually it's it's well you have an erosion control line shown right yeah

and then um the 10 Ferry owns right to the water and so basically you've got a property line here and then the city's right so your property lines for the city aren't showing yeah yeah they're they're on here um yeah they are it's literally it's just it's it's about a 50 by 5050 foot no no I know but on the plan the dash little dash line that you have there isn't that just labeled

erosion control B well so we've got the erosion control on the outside and then on the inside here this is this is what the city owns okay so even again so you're going Beyond even on that one you're going beyond what owns yeah is any work being done beyond the footprint that the city owns no uh you know what there is there is bit of landscaping and we're going to

have to Paul and I going to have to go in front of the land well they should have been an applicant of this if they're doing any work on that property correct uh I mean we can't permit work to be completed on their property if you don't have the rights to do it or if they're not an applicant to it I mean I the Landscaping is is yours well is it

Landscaping is there is there any pipe that's crossed is there an access no no no it's just it's just removal of of the uh of the shrub to be able to do the work

so the we'll call it the the double intermittent dash line as that's the property line on the interior square yes yeah okay so that should be dimensioned with bearings and distances then we see a crushed on construction equipment erosion prevention strip that that's being constructed that's not on your property correct to the water yeah that's correct right y

um I mean I have a problem approving work on and a buing property that I was looking at the at the outside line as being the property that's why I asked for the property like to be shown but I didn't know it was this bad onto a buning properties do we have easements to do that work we there are temporary construction easements from the original construction of the uh how long are

those temporary construction easements in place there was no date so they still good I don't see there can we show those that that may cover you if in fact that easements in place um okay and then just label like on this plan we're showing a 50 foot buffer and a 100 foot buffer I think he's showing it to the high Watermark I'm assuming top of bank is up with the post and rail fences so I think

the bank is the resource area The Narrative lists it as the different resource areas but the plan doesn't show any of them including the flood zone I don't think we do have FL it's under the FEA flood elevation on so there's not a flood plane line anywhere on here that would show up the encompasses right but how far how far east it's quite a ways away so yeah soing this we're well within yeah the

entire plan is within because the request didn't actually spell out what resource areas you were doing work within or what buffer zones you were doing work within so it's kind of difficult to make determinations upon resource areas when they're not requested to be determined or

provided I don't know what whatever the commission's thoughts are but I would not approve work on an abundant property unless you're sure of the legal ability to do so regardless if there's an easement there or not we still need property well there might be an easement on it but we don't have that information well I'm saying regard of that we probably still need the property owner's

permission to would think I think you know they should at least be notified or they should be an applicant to it we're dealing with the same thing with the quick aan rail trail and we're having trouble having a bunch of the mill owners we're required to have them sign the notice of intent submission even though we have an easement to do the work do you want to put that in conditions or just wait another

month I mean you you could vote however you however you want board I I myself think we should you know at Le make table this and make the owner aware the situation and okay include him in this sounds good can you get a letter from the owner that he understands the work's going to be done or or verify easement uh yeah we'll talk we'll talk to the owner and see uh See about

it okay so can I have a motion to table uh motion table seconded roll call I I I yes I yes if you want to give me a call we can go over okay thank you very much thanks for moving me up Mr chairman since we are a new business do you want to take three other order as well and finish that up or do you want to go back

to Old business I don't know the person we have we have people waiting so I'd go back to Old buiness go back to the beginning okay next is a request for certificate of compliance sc-24 d761 owner applicant Department of Conservation Recreation uh project location Copa cut road accessor map is W-9 0010 f by the Department of Conservation Recreation requesting a CER certificate of compliance saying the work was

regulated above the order condition has been satisfactory completed uh this was tabled from February 5th um you can see that Chris Bo had a meeting with them at the Heritage State Park and they went over we have a map over there that Cris it up where the um I think the five points are that they have to correct Dan did you want to should I read that the minutes or so

what I did was um again Chris Bole met with their representatives on February 22nd finally he discussed their concerns um with them and he had enumerated in an email to me what you see in this report here um he is requesting or that it is his opinion that we do not issue a COC until all of these items have been completed so I think we now at least have a narrow Target of what they need

to do in order to receive that certificate of compliance so I would uh I would concur with with Chris's assertion that we should hold off on the COC until of these items a lot of them are signage being placed and closing off old Trails you know there's really some cleaning up work um but since Chris is the one that's been most heavily involved in this even through the permitting of it yeah if Chris isn't

okay with it then I can't say that I would be either so yeah yeah that's up to you all I know he said he had a a two-hour meeting and it was it's a new group so they didn't they weren't in on this process so they're they think it's satisfactory completed but it's in our order of conditions so they're a little reluctant on moving forward but it looks like it at least now that we have the

target yeah we can send them an email that we're not issuing the certific we're not going to leave it on the agenda we're not going to leave the on the agenda until they've resolved these items you know submit as a narrative stating that they did all these Chris and I can confirm that they did it and then you can decide to put it back on an agenda and vote on of that okay sounds

good so a motion to table or any questions supp so move second second wait are we going to are we tabling this or are we removing this from the agenda Ian you can if you wanted to keep it on the agenda that's fine but no I mean it could be three years before they do this work yeah if I may make a suggestion I think we should go ahead andove file okay

to to remove it from the agenda and then okay we can do that and have them refile I'll that in the letter I think that's what so we have a motion to remove from uh the agenda motion submit second roll call I I I yes I I all right can clean up some of the agenda items yeah next did we move the did we vote on the tabling no we we're not going to

table we're just going to take it off because they're not close to being ready we're going to take you voted to take it off I'm going to send them a letter saying to reapply when they've done all of these items oh that's what you meant by reapply yes yep otherwise it's going to sit at the top of this agenda and people have to read it and listen to it yeah nobody's here to come in and

speak yeah on their behalf for a year I don't know how many how many months has this been in front of us oh yeah been quite a while I mean that's part of my my own frustration here yeah very frustrating and uh there's no filing fee for them to resubmit okay all they need to do is basically submit a letter saying we've complied with these uh whatever 10 outstanding items that refer to the

letter these are related to the use of the these are all related to the use of the path and trying to keep the keep the motorized vehicles on the path and out of the rest of the yeah right rest of the place which is well and out of a bunch of the Old Paths that were supposed to be naturalized which well that's just my frustration to see to walk there and see a motorcycle track in

an area that is not permitted that's okay let's get go to the next one all right I've expressed my frustration thank you okay let's go all right notice of intent as se- 24831 owner applicant Jeff Sylvia project location 2450 Indiantown Road say this map is w- 34-12 filed by ecosystem Solutions on behalf of the applicant the applicant is proposing a restoration plan to remove unauthorized cart path created in around

2017 from an order of conditions from 1997 DP file number sc- 24289 this was table from February 5th so at the February 5th meeting we requested that they prepare some compilation plans so that everything was on one plan we received an email from Michael larier this morning saying that the consultant is still working on putting those together and he requested that this matter be ta okay a motion to table

second roll call I I I yes I I okay um review and discussion question of um update on Bell Rock Road so as an update um I did speak with the um applicants attorney and the construction supervisor now that the weather has broken they will be out there upgrading the erosion control plan and moving into the restoration as we had okay asked them to do but now that the weather is cooperating um yeah a

little easier to work out there yeah and we do have email correspondents from them today stating that they would be getting out there immediately okay uh let's see uh review and discussion of adopting fee structure uh the state's still doing their uh new Wetlands regulations so um I would just have someone make a motion to motion to table table second I I I yes I I okay review and

discussion of 1262 bright and have this was tabled from uh Janu I mean February 5th so as we discussed at the last meeting um I was able to do an onsite Friday March 1st with the applicants engineering consultant I could offer that they've made great progress on the site with removing vehicles from where they shouldn't be they've started the construction of some temporary stor order management facilities so they've

they've gone a long way uh towards bringing the site to full compliance and I I had advised them that they did not need to attend today and that we would continue to monitor their their progress they are working towards completing the site plan review application uh they did one out did additional survey work through BR Avenue for the water and sewer lines um and I'm told that that

that information is coming in as well and that has a fuel storage in it too I believe it does yeah we'll see we'll see when that comes in but I can say as far as thanks you know what we asked them to do with stop moving Vehicles specifically you know parking the vehicles away from the resource areas that that's all been complied with they have a very uh clearly marked out area

where Vehicles can park it's very clean all the erosion controls has been updated um so no I I think they've done a great job good yeah did look 100% better yeah yeah I did notice that they moved the trucks as well so thank you Joe okay so nothing to vote on that one right no just leave it on there like you said you you wanted a monthly update so I'll keep I'll keep checking

uh go ahead yeah thank you thank you very much for that uh review and discussion of 263 Redwood Lane this was table from January 5th I talked to the attorney Richard levenson who is the attorney for the property owner they have hired an engineering consultant as we discussed with them the last time they are making an assessment of wetland resource areas determining what can be permitted what

can't be permitted and they'll be submitting a notice of intent either for work that they're requesting to to stay or areas that need to be restored so that they they have they are moving in the right direction do I anticipate them being ready for the April meeting probably not you know engineering Consultants are fairly busy now um but but they do have one and they have started the work no other activity has

taking place out there so so they haven't moved anything just everything is everything was as as they left okay have any questions next is a question of termination ACC accessibility of 185 owner applicant Ronald rusen uh project location 2011 Napoleon Street accessor map is d-16 0047 filed by the applicant the applicant is requesting a request for determination of accessibility a single

family house was constructed and the majority of the vacant parcel was heavily Disturbed with trash and debris the applicant removed all the debris from the parcel ding construction cleaned a lot which was list lis at the time of work portions of the clean area fell within 100 foot buffer bordering vegetated Wetland buffer zone however post construction site conditions are substantially improved from a

pre-existing condition so last month all we were waiting for was a legal advertisement the applicant was unaware of that they did advertise for tonight's meeting so I would recommend that you issue uh a determination of applicability with checking box number three okay so can I have a motion to issue a uh negative determination on box three motion so made seconded roll call I I I yes I I okay moving along notice

of intent se-4 d835 owner appin is Donald Scott and Mary L church project location 1040 Dickinson Street um sister map is d-09 0028 filed by Kowski engineering on behalf of Gord deki gordi don't call this was tabled from uh February 5th meeting yep um you may remember at the last discussion we had just received um the revised plans Alex and I have worked over the last month come up with

a revised set of plans which we do have in house um I have no issues with the issuing of an order of conditions with two special conditions one that the support stones that are to be used to hold up the wall that no more than 50% of them will be one foot Boulders and that no less than 50% of them will be two foot Boulders so on Alex's detail he

had just shown the use of one and two foot Boulders I don't want to go out there and find all one foot Boulders so there should be a mix of ones and twos so that things lock in place right so that would be one condition uh and then two that no work should begin until a new chapter 91 license has been obtained and recorded at the Bristol County registry of deeds that's all other than

that have no other issu could you could you explain what is a chapter 91 license chapter 91 is a is a waterways license for utilizing or using land of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts so when you design a pier or a dock and it goes into let's say the taon river for instance the land owner does not own the land that the dock is being constructed on correct you have to apply to the

state and they give you a license almost like an easement that allows you to construct your Pier your dock your stone revent something similar the stone wall exactly yep that's all you can get a license to do anything I could you could give me a license to sell ice cream on on your land I don't want that I just want to be sure I just want I check the wall it needs to be fixed and correct

and yeah I want to be sure that I just didn't know what a chap one license is thank you I learn things all the time it goes through a different set of reviews they can't go apply for that until you issue this order so they'll send this information up to the state the state will then process it um they look at different things like uh a Butter's rights or public rights along you know a

Water's Edge between high and mean low water this isn't that type of resource area but because it's a great Pond it does need that license there are no tides correct yeah you want to add anything else than so I I I have a question I don't know it's um so the wall is is about 356 feet is that correct and then at the base of the wall you said on

the plans here it's going to be 5 feet to six feet at the base so it's going up like a 45 degree angle this is my best guess it it's it's very iable CU right now underneath the the concrete wall the stone and concrete wall there are already Boulders like this that that wall sits on okay so in some areas those existing Boulders May extend out the five feet so this is basically just

filling in a triangle so that's basically an estimate that you have here might be it's my best guess and then so that that was one thing and then the other thing is and I don't know um I know I know I know the uh the pond it's a big pond and I don't know how this is going to affect anything or if it even does but what's the impact to the water

level as we obviously throw more Boulders into the pond right Y what is that you're a smart guy but I did reach out to Paul furland and we asked him that at the time of the last hearing and he had no because he monitors that that's a controlled elevation out there okay um and he monitors that constantly that's not going to be sign he said this would be not significant enough for him

to even worry about it we we made sure that we got that information from him p restaurant some there there is a Big C there are a set of B that City the SLS okay it cannot go I me because I imagine this is like a glass of water as you keep putting rocks into where the water starts Rising right so that will affect everybody there um the as I understand it the the level of

water when it rain for example the level goes up and it's governed by the water department which which lets more water out or keep more water in correct and so that the water level is not does not depend on the width of the bank it depends upon the uh it depends upon the amount of water maintained in the pond by the water department from its uh Dyke or whatever so so we hope that the water

department I'm doing this to to I've seen it and I'm trying to think of the word for it I can't but the gate they have these loose Gates that they that they open and they monitor to keep the water level stable the the level can't be too bad because the quick aan is really low yeah that was there Friday in the water level the quick aan is really low so yeah they haven't had to release

any water from South Wata yeah any other questions just one question is the is the structure that's proposed there one foot and two foot Boulders is that sufficient I'm just asking because I would assume it is but uh I didn't know if there's any I mean being at being at the slope the 45 degree slope that they're being installed yes that would be more thanate the the wall I don't think the wall is in

imminent danger of falling in today I mean fairly stable so this is really to support that wall on top of the wall itself so I don't imagine it would be an issue this is something then that over the years and you know whatever that is I don't know if that's 10 20 years but this is something that will require some kind of monitor I imagine right to make sure that the slope at least is the

rocks are not falling and it's just well exactly so you want the rocks to be of a sufficient size if this was Coastal and was was title um then these rocks would not be sufficient but for what for this es they're more than sufficient just support I can't hear you sir just to support the wall the wall is I did septic system on the slau about 20 years ago and this wall was the I think

2003 thisall was there I believe this knows how in some areas if you look at it there a picture some at some point this would be less of a disturbance than ripping up the existing wall and rebuilding the existing wall because then now we're dealing with Earth this is just taking rocks supporting on the outside of the wall although at some point we might have to go there anyways but that's for the

future don't worry about that I

think okay might want to ask make sure there's nobody here in the audience is there anyone okay uh so can I have a motion to order conditions with special conditions with uh support Stone shall be compressed of no more than 50% of one foot Boulders and shall provide a maximum 50% of two foot Boulders no work shall begin until a new chapter 91 license has been obtained and recorded

at the reg uh Bristol County Register of Deeds make a motion to make that issue the order conditions and the two special conditions mentioned by the way was to provide a minimum of 50% of two foot Boulders you said a maximum but regardless uh I second that motion okay roll call I hi I yes I hi all right thanks thank

you next is a notice of intent sc-24 34 uh owner applicant uh orano Lopes and Tiffany uh bourine uh project location 20 Hayfield Lane and zero Fieldstone Lane sessor map is -1- z45 and -4- 0078 filed by we just not hear him Alex gordetsky gordetsky engineering on behalf of the appc the applicant is proposing to t uh replicate and restore the altered Wetlands um we received correspondence

from the applicant's attorney um this afternoon requesting that the matter be tabled till next month's meeting they're working out um some items with Paul ferland's office with regards to easement modification and wetlands issues are kind of resolved but makes no sense to go through with it if Paul's office isn't okay with it so they didn't want to come in and make a representation that was not true so that

pool was built on the eement was built in the wetlands and in an easement but we're not supposed to discuss it yet so yeah okay we'll discuss it when they're here all right so we can to have a motion to table motion to table second roll call I I I yes hi hi okay next is a notice of intent se- 24- 836 owner app Diane Smith project location for Captain Circle assessor map

is y- 06- 0037 filed by pro- engineering Inc on behalf of the applicant the applicant proposing to raise an existing two bedroom single family dwelling instruct a construct a new two-bedroom single family dwelling complete with driveway utility septic system and Landscaping table from February so I give you just a quick little update the last meeting we had given the applicant a list of a few conditions or items that

we wanted to see on the revised plans I can offer that they have provided that revised plan with all of those um required items um the only special condition I would recommend that the board um requires that the Board of Health review and approve or disapprove the building plans regarding bedroom count not really your jurisdiction but prior to the St of construction we want to make sure that that gets taken care

of okay okay yep and I don't think we had a file number at the last meeting but we do have one now yep we're good to issue it with just that one condition board have any questions yeah the reason for the the bedroom is this has to do with the septic system septic system yeah correct actually the septic system has to do with the preservation of the water quality um I don't know why we would

relinquish our our authority to the Board of Health to you figure out how many bedrooms there are that's it seems like that's something that we ought to be able to figure out no so so you have no Authority with regards to increase in flow in Title Five the septic system for this property was approved already under a previous order of conditions when it was just dealing with the small house or

trailer that was there this is for the construction of the house septic system and its proximity to the wetlands is locked in and approved as two bedrooms right so you have your jurisdiction is to the Wetland they're not asking to make the septic system any bigger so the bo the Board of Health reviews the building plans to say okay this is they're putting back a TW bedroom house not a three-bedroom house

well but I looked at the plan for once I I spent a while on the plants it do it does look like there's a third room that's why we're asking the Board of Health that's the Board of Health jurisdiction we just want to make sure they're aware of it yeah they do the measurements of height and feet and all that to determine so the applicant will work with the Board of Health to make sure

that this when this building permit gets signed off that they're not increasing the flow inord to looked like three to me that's why I was the uh the question bedroom question is in office did you speak loudly enough to get in theic the bedroom in question is is an office now ask me ctivity to be a bedroom like a closet as erress second eess out of the out of the out of the room and we can

always take the wall down and not have any walls right and half wall and then it would be just a sitting area we just made it a full wall because we wanted to so junk in and I don't want to see it believe me I don't want three bedrooms my kids will come back no no no that's not for that's not for this board you need to give that argument to the board

of I want to make it two bedroom okay that's just we have no basement because of of the water taable so we need storage that's all it's going to be so we just called it an office well call it storage yeah get rid of the door get rid of the door and don't put the window that Bob knows ways of dealing with the Board of Health yeah I don't even want to talk about okay all right

so can I have a uh motion uh Grant the order of conditions with uh the okay of the Board of Health to review and approve or disapprove the building plans regarding the bedroom count plans appear Illustrated three qualifying bedrooms the property has two bedroom deed restriction motion so second roll call I I I yes I I thank you thank you thank you keep your kids out of the house take care of that that chicken out

there rooster that's right peacock or rooster whatever it was right no it was a rooster it's a hybrid I know a rooster all right next is a request for certificate of compliance sc-24 d158 owner applicant of the city of for River fire department project location Commerce Drive FKA airport road cessor map is z- 5-30 now z-5 00002 follow by Fall River Redevelopment Authority on behalf of the applicant the

applicant is requesting a partial CER certification uh the partial release of assessor map z- 05-11 uh 191 Commerce Drive and assessor map z- 05-14 231 Commerce Drive that were both subdivided from a large original parcel covered by the order conditions and that no construction activity was permitted for or performed by on these subdivided Parcels so what this is when they constructed the new police station up on

Airport Road that was sorry fire station that was One Singular piece of land that encompassed the entire airport um so that original order of conditions encumbers all of that land still so now they went through they subdivided they they created Commerce Drive and the 10 lots that are on it for title purposes when a title attorney goes and looks at the deed now for this parcel that the

for River Redevelopment Authority owns and wants to convey it's still encumbered by that old order of conditions because this the fire department never closed it out and they're still not closing it out they're not asking for that all we're doing is taking these two postage stamps that are nowhere near what was constructed and for title purposes they're removed from the land encumbered by the order of

conditions this happens fairly often when you have a good title attorney that finds these things prior to closing sometimes it doesn't happen um but it did happen here for two separate Parcels okay so that's all so all you're doing is basically taking those two postage stamps out of what was the original parcel okay so going to have a motion for partial release of the two Parcels

requested motion so made seconded roll call I I I yes I I all righty next refie and discussion and cease assist of Bart Street and Bronson Street um so if you recall we had sent out a um an enforcement letter to the property owner at that location asking them to appear before you this evening as you see they apparently did not come or did not remember or haven't hired the consultant

that they were supposed to so I will reach out to them send them another letter tell them to come at uh next meeting as well yeah because I don't know if you made it out to look at this location he just started knocking down trees laying out a driveway and it's in Wetlands not probably three or four feet of fill over about a 100 by 100 area straight into a

wetland in a wetland that was when they built the houses across the street there was a notice of intent filed for the construction of the street and those houses it showed the approved Wetlands line right at the edge of the opposite pavement so all of that Land north of it was a wetland his gentleman went in and bought those parcels and was probably trying to make them buildable I'm

guessing by altering the wetlands so now he's got to come back before us before he goes to uh does that have to be zoned or that's already he zoned for houses oh he's not going anywhere it's zoned for houses he's going to come back here with a a petition to restore the Wetland yeah period there's no there's no room for development yeah I was gonna say you can't build on that and they

would need to come back he could come back and ask you permission to fill a wetland to build houses um I don't think you know the board could act on that and say no we don't want you to fill a wetland yeah um to build houses so but right now it's to file a notice of intent to restore right the alteration that that took place okay yeah so so

I'll reach back out to him again okay I did speak to him like I told you before the last meeting like the day of so he did respond he did receive the letter he did respond and I made it clear that he should have been here tonight but yeah I I just find it hard to believe that somebody would put then they come in front of us complaining that their basement's flooding their backyard's
