MEETING HELD VIRTUALLY USING GOTOWEBINAR PLATFORM
Present: Michael Healey, Chair; Dr. Aaron Roth, Vice Chair; Aaron Gallagher; Jeffrey Paters;,§arkv oynes;
Katelyn Gonyer, Environmental and Conservation Planner.
1. The Chair opened the meeting at 6:04 pm.
2. Mr. Healey opened the discussion for the potential acquisition of thirty acres of forested land at
177 Old Elm Street. He said the property is available to the town because it was classified as a forestry
area which resulted in a decrease in taxes and under this program the town as the right of first refusal
when the property comes up for sale.
Ms. Gonyer said this information was also shared with the Open Space and Recreation Committee for the
recommendation to the Select Board, who are asking for the Conservation Commission to review the
potential acquisition to see if it falls within our criteria of land we would normally want to acquire. This
parcel of land is in Chapter 61 Forestry Land, which means whenever there is a proposed change in use or
sale of that property, because of the tax break, the town has first right of refusal of acquisition
Ms. Gonyer said this is a 33-acre parcel of land that is surrounded by Conservation land, Natural Resource
Trust land as well as town -owned land and would be a great place for a trail system someday. She said
the Open Space and Recreation Committee reviewed all the information concerning this property and
voted to recommend to the town that it acquire the parcel at 177 Old Elm Street for perpetuity and
conservation. She said of the thirty-three (33) acre parcel, three (3) acres of land will be reserved for the
existing property. Mr. Paten asked about the reserved three acres. Ms. Gonyer said the property with the
existing house is at the front of the parcel and the rest of the reserved acres would be for an additional
lot.
Public Comments:
Mr. Healey read the following script:
"It is important to us that you have a platform for your questions and comments during this meeting,
therefore to ask questions or make a public comment during tonight's virtual meeting you must have
registered and joined the meeting via GoToWebinar where you now have the ability to submit your
questions or comments through the questions option in your control panel, or you can use the raise your
hand option to be allowed to speak.
As with any public meeting we ask you to be respectful of the Board members and the other residents
who are making their comments by patiently and quietly waiting your turn. Thank you."
Ms. Kristine Snow asked why the town is not purchasing the full thirty-three acres of land. Ms. Gonyer
said this is the proposal that was given to the Conservation Commission by the Select Board because the
owner wants to keep the existing house and keep apart from Conservation land; if the full thirty-three
acres is acquired the land would no longer be considered a residential lot. Ms. Snow noted there is
another interested party for the property, a school. Ms. Gonyer said tonight's discussion is only for the
potential acquisition of the thirty acres because the use of the land is not in the Conservation
Commission's jurisdiction.
Ms. Linda Kelley asked if the thirty acres are protected areas for wildlife. Ms. Gonyer said the property is
a forested area with uplands; the upland areas would connect other trails in West Mansfield.
Dr. Elshaar, Al Noor Academy, said the school is interested in acquiring the land for the school but would
donate some of the land to the town.
Board Comments:
Ms. Joynes asked if a portion of the three -acre parcel frontage would be for access onto the thirty acres.
Ms. Gonyer said yes there would be a portion of land to the north for access. Mr. Healey said there are a
number of properties owned by the town and NRT that can be used as an access point to this land.
Dr. Roth made the motion to recommend the town acquire the thirty acres of land available at 177 Old
Elm Street, to be placed under Conservation protection.
Ms. Joynes seconded the motion.
Mr. Gallagher— in favor

Discussion ended at 6:29 pm.
3. Request for Certificate of Compliance: Turchetta and Associates, 58 York Road, Lot 100.
Mr. Healey open the hearing for a Request for a Certificate of Compliance for Turchetta and Associates at
58 York Road.
Ms. Gonyer said the Order of Conditions was issued in February 1991 for the construction of a single-
family dwelling and grading under DEP SE 211-344, with a partial Certificate of Compliance issued in April
1992 because the lawn area was not stabilized at that time. The Order has since expired. She
recommended that a full Certificate of Compliance be issued.
Mr. Paten made the motion to issued the full Certificate of Compliance to Turchetta & Associates, for 58
York Road, Lot 100. The Order of Conditions was issued in February 1991 for the construction of a single-
family dwelling and grading under DEP SE 211-344.
Ms. Joynes seconded the motion.
Dr. Roth —in favor
Mr. Paten — in favor
Mr. Healey— in favor
Ms. Joynes — in favor
Mr. Gallagher — in favor
Motion passed 5-0-0.
Hearing ended at 6:33 pm.
4. Request for Certificate of Compliance: AGS Development Corp., 310 West Street, Map 11,
Parcel 21.
Mr. Healey opened the hearing forthe requestfora Certificate of Compliance for AGS Development Corp.,
310 West Street, for an Amended Order of Conditions for an addition, deck, fencing, restoration planting
area and associated drainage for a single-family dwelling within 100 feet of a Bordering Vegetated
Wetland and Intermittent Stream under DEP SE 211-0980.
Ms. Gonyer said this Order of Conditions was issued in August of 2018 after a Stop Work and Enforcement
Order was issued for the site. A developer had purchased the lot at foreclosure and had started work on
the property without any permits. She said they removed two large willow trees within the stream and
all the debris from the trees was put into the wetlands causing water to back up on the property. She said
this was a difficult site because ownership changed many times and the Commission finally said until all
the impacts to the wetlands were mitigated, no work or restoration on the house was permitted. in 2020
AGS Development Corp. purchased the property and the site was cleaned up, the restoration areas were
restored and a split rail fence was installed along the 25-foot NDZ. She worked with AGS Development
Corp. for two years and a peer consultant was hired to review and get the property into compliance.
Ms. Gonyer mentioned when the Certificate of Compliance is issued, it gets recorded at the Registry of
Deeds and the Commission has the option to put on -going conditions only as they were cited in the
original Order. She recommended a full Certificate of Compliance be issued with the on -going conditions;
#2 all work must conform to the plan dated November 1, 2018 and #25 all work must conform to the plan
dated January 22, 2022 that shows the location of the split rail fence. The fence is to remain in place in
perpetuity.
Board Comments:
Mr. Healey noted the house was pre-existing and predates our regulations. He said this is a vast
improvement to the property.
Dr. Roth asked if the sump pumps are still being used and would the water be discharged to the lawn area.
Ms. Gonyer said there is a pump in the basement in case the water level is high but at this time no water
is being pumped out and any waterfrom the sump pump would go through the rip rap (filter fabric) placed
between the fence and where the lawn drops off, and discharged back into the system. Dr. Roth asked if
there is still knotweed past the split rail fence. Ms. Gonyer said the area is now colonized with native
plants, namely golden rod. She said if in the future this area becomes overrun with invasive species she
would have to get involved again.
Ms. Joynes made the motion to issue a full Certificate of Compliance to AGS Development Corp., 310 West
Street, for an Amended Order of Conditions for an addition, deck, fencing, restoration planting area and
associated drainage for a single-family dwelling within 100 feet of a Bordering Vegetated Wetland and
Intermittent Stream under DEP SE 211-0980, with the ongoing conditions, #2 all work must conform to
the plan dated November 1, 2018 and #25 all work must conform to the plan dated January 22, 2020,
showing the location of the split rail fence. The fence is to remain in place in perpetuity.
Dr. Roth seconded the motion.
Mr. Gallagher —in favor
Ms. Joynes — in favor
Mr. Healey —in favor
Mr. Paten —in favor
Dr. Roth — in favor.
Motion passed 5-0-0.
Mr. Eliot Schneider said they are a mortgage company that purchase this property at foreclosure. He
believes the house is under agreement and said he will have the new owners get in touch with Ms. Gonyer
and will let the new owners know the fence is to remain in place in perpetuity.
Hearing ended at 6:50 pm.
5. Request for Certificate of Compliance: Raj Moholtra, 50 Wood Avenue (Parcel 20, Lot 124).
Mr. Healey opened the hearing for the request for a Certificate of Compliance for Raj Moholtra, 50 Wood
Avenue, for the construction of a storage facility within Bordering Vegetated Wetland under DEP SE 211-
0921.
James DeVellis of was present.
Ms. Gonyer said this is the storage facility located at 50 Wood Avenue. She said this was a very
complicated project. She explained prior to the construction of the building this was a mine gravel pit and
in the 1970s they basically scraped off all the top soil so there was no organic material or vegetation and
the wetland on the site, which was really disturbed and overgrown with invasive species, was not a high
functioning system. Ms. Gonyer said she worked with Arthur Allen, a wetland/soil scientist, and James
DeVellis, engineer for the project. Mr. Allen was brought into provide all the reports requested and was
on -site during the restoration. Ms. Gonyer said she recently met on site with Mr. Allen and Mr. DeVellis
because the owner had let the invasive species become overgrown. The detention basin on site had also
become overgrown with invasive species, but is now functioning fine. She said there was an Invasive
Species Management plan as part of the Order and said she would need to see that the invasive species
would be managed before the Certificate was issued.
Ms. Gonyer said the site is immaculate and a well -contained site. She said on -going conditions would be
the Stormwater 0&M and the wetland reports, so the Commission has some monitoring in perpetuity and
Condition #23, wetland replication plan. She said her only area of concern is where the stair well is in the
back corner of the property.
Mr. DeVellis said when filing for the Certificate of Compliance, he walked the site with Ms. Gonyer and
Mr. Allen to discuss the invasive species and it was decided the best time to do the work would be in the
fall. Everything is now in compliance. They also looked at the area in the back corner and no erosion has
occurred on site.
0
Dr. Roth asked if the Invasive Species Management Plan is part of the replication plan. Ms. Gonyer said
the wetland replication plan and Invasive Species Plan were for three growing seasons after the Order
was issued. She said she is not sure we can legally hold the owner to implement the invasive species
management, because once the Certificate has been issued, other than putting these on -going conditions
in the Certificate of Compliance, to be enforced in perpetuity, would make it a violation of the on -going
conditions because you cannot introduce new conditions to the Certificate of Compliance that are not
already part of the Order. She said she will write out the replication plan and invasive species plan as an
O&M.
Dr. Roth said this should be discussed going forward with future Orders. He asked if this was the site
where they moved the delineation. Ms. Gonyer said the delineation was pushed out during construction,
but the 25-foot and the limit of work has been re-established. For the area near the stair well at the rear
of the property, she said she will follow up in the spring.
Ms. Gonyer recommended a full Certificate of Compliance be issued with the on -going conditions to be
included on the Certificate of Compliance: #23, Stormwater Management Plan 0&M and #24, wetland
replication plan.
Mr. Gallagher made the motion to issue a full Certificate of Compliance to Raj Moholtra, SOWood Avenue
(Parcel 20, Lot 124) for the construction of a storage facility within 100 feet of Bordering Vegetated
Wetland under DEP SE 211-0921 with the following on -going conditions: #23, Stormwater Management
Plan 0 & M, #24, wetland replication plan and the condition that the area near the stair well at the rear
of the facility will be inspected by the Agent in the spring.
Mr. Paten seconded the motion.
Dr. Roth — in favor
Mr. Paten — in favor
Mr. Healey —in favor
Ms. Joynes — in favor
Mr. Gallagher —in favor
Motion passed 5-0-0.
Hearing ended at 7:16 pm.
6. Request for Certificate of Compliance: David and Rachel Hall, 33 Oak Leaf Drive.
Mr. Healey opened the hearing for David and Rachel Hall, 33 Oak Leaf Drive, Map 15, Parcel 96 for the
construction of an addition, grading and septic within 100 feet of Bordering Vegetated Wetland under
DEP SE 211-0987.
Ms. Gonyer said the Order of Conditions was issued earlier this year and the addition and septic system
are located in the approved location and the disturbed areas have been stabilized per the letter from the
engineer and the as built plan.
Dr. Roth made the motion to issued a full Certificate of Compliance to David and Rachel Hall, 33 Oak Leaf
Drive, Map 15, Parcel 96 for the construction of an addition, grading and septic within 100 feet of
Bordering Vegetated Wetland under DEP SE 211-0987.

7. Request for Certificate of Compliance: Paulette Rioux, 30 Saddle Ridge Road.
Mr. Healey opened the hearing for a request for a Certificate of Compliance for Paulette Rioux, 30 Saddle
Ridge Road, Lot 3 Map 3, Parcel 19 for the construction of a single-family dwelling with associated
appurtenances within the 100-foot buffer zone of Bordering Vegetated Wetland and Natural Heritage
Estimated and Priority Habitat under DEP SE 211-0937.
Ms. Gonyer said this Order was issued in 2015 for this house lot, which was one of five lots on Saddle
Ridge Road in Wayside Estates. She said this was one of the lesser jurisdictional lots, with only a portion
of the septic system located in the 100-foot buffer; the house and driveway were located outside of the
buffer zone. At the last hearing there was some discrepancies with the letter and the as built plan so the
hearing was continued. Ms. Gonyer said a letter from the engineer dated December 1, 2021 was received
stating the project is in full compliance. She recommended a full Certificate of Compliance be issued to
Paulette Rioux, 30 Saddle Ridge Road, Lot 3 Map 3, Parcel 19.
Mr. Paten made the motion to issue a full Certificate of Compliance to Paulette Rioux, 30 Saddle Ridge
Road, Lot 3 Map 3, Parcel 19 for the construction of a single-family dwelling with associated
appurtenances within the 100-foot buffer zone of Bordering Vegetated Wetland and Natural Heritage
Estimated and Priority Habitat under DEP SE 211-0937.
Mr. Gallagher seconded the motion.

Ms. Gonyer stated for the record, since this property is within a Natural Heritage Endangered Species
Area, it is exempt under Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA).
Hearing ended at 7:23 pm.
8. Notice of Intent: Shawn Carroll, 230 Plain Street, Map 4, Parcel 75.
L
Mr. Healey opened the hearing for Shawn Carroll, 230 Plain Street, Map 4, Parcel 75 for a proposed in -
ground pool within 100 feet of Inland Bank of Greenwood Lake under DEP SE 211-0992.
Craig Cygawnoski, RIM Engineering Co., Inc. and homeowner Eddie Dee were present.
Ms. Gonyer said this filing was for a proposed in -ground pool that was within 35 feet of the inland bank
of Greenwood Lake. She said at the last hearing in November there were concerns about the pool's
proximity to the lake, the proposed amount of patio on the property and the existing shed within the 25-
foot No Touch Zone; she said the shed is a pre-existing, non -conforming structure and she would not
mandate the shed be removed but it would become part of the mitigation. She said the Commission also
asked for some minimization of anything extra on the property; the brick walkway on the west side of the
property will be removed and the existing paved driveway will be replaced with pervious pavers. The
footprint of the large patio in the pool area will be reduced and changed with pervious pavers. The pool
did change a little, expanded by 2 feet, and will not be a saltwater pool. Ms. Gonyer said there would
have to be a plan for discharging the water from the pool. The pool equipment is to be placed in the
existing fenced area, east of the house. She asked if a buffer zone or a strip of plantings could be placed
in the area of existing lawn close to Greenwood Lake along the top of the bank. She said they did a lot of
changes and reduction on the property.
Mr. Cygawnoski said there will be terracing along the extreme slope on the east side of the property. He
noted the owner of the property volunteered to remove all the existing pavement and any existing patios,
especially the patio under the deck, which will be replaced with pervious pavers, allowing for increased
infiltration directly below the paving system. He said the brick walkway will be removed and an existing
patio on the west side of the property will also be removed.
He said the dimensions of the pool did not change, the measurements shown on the plan are wrong and
the pool will only be 42" deep and the back edge of the pool will be approximately one foot out of the
ground.
As for the shed, Mr. Cygawnoski said the owner talked with the building inspector about the history of
the site and in the 1950s, this property was a campground area with four or five sheds, pre -dating the
Wetland Protection Act and the Conservation By-law. Ms. Gonyer asked if the shed was on blocks or a
concrete pad. Mr. Cygawnoski said he believes the shed is on a concrete pad. She asked for some
plantings to the south and around the shed.
Board Comments:
Mr. Healey agreed with Ms. Gonyer that the decrease in the impervious surfaces is substantial. He
suggested it would be better to have plantings with deeper and larger roots in the resource area buffer
zone at the top of the bank and then transitioning into the property. He said the intent of the plantings
is not to restrict access to the dock. Ms. Gonyer suggested woody shrubs and arborvitaes and the shed
be allowed to remain. Ms. Gonyer said she would meet on site with the homeowner to help develop a
plan for the plantings along this area.
Ms. Joynes asked if there was a fence along the water. Mr. Dee said there is a fence in the front and along
the both sides of the property and by the water.
Mr. Cygawnoski said the terraced area on the east side of the house would be foamed and seeded. As for
staging, the materials would be stored in front and removed off -site the same day as excavation.
Ms. Gonyer asked about dewatering during the installation of the pool. Mr. Cygawnoski said the pool
water would be pumped to the front of the property in the road area. Ms. Gonyer said they would have
to make sure no sediment goes into the system.
Dr. Roth said the amount of thought and work that went into this project is better than what was
previously presented to the Commission, but said it seems as if a lot of the impervious areas being
removed are outside the 100-foot buffer to alleviate what is being put in the 100-foot buffer and noted,
proportionally, with what we are adding within the resource areas, he is not sure this is a big tradeoff. He
said the problem with the shed is it is for storage and we have no control over what would be stored in
there. Mr. Dee said he would only be storing lawn furniture in the shed. Ms. Gonyer said no hazardous
materials can be stored in the shed.
Ms. Gonyer said we do not allow structures in the 25-foot area but sometimes moving a structure out of
the 25-foot area causes more damage and impacts. Ms. Gonyer said she would accept leaving the shed
where it is now if we could reclaim some of the 25-foot area. She said there should be more substantial
plantings between the shed and the wall. She said one of her biggest concerns is the lawn area going right
up to the edge of Greenwood Lake. She would like to see a lot of naturalized areas and asked if Mr. Dee
would be willing to put some sort of physical demarcation along the edge of the lake. Mr. Dee said he did
not have a problem with this. Dr. Roth said he would be fine with this but his concern is in the future
when there is a new owner of the property that there would be nothing to stop the new owner from
making changes to the property. Ms. Gonyer said we could put into the Order of Conditions that the
runoff from outside the jurisdictional areas is not allowed to enter into the jurisdictional areas, that
additional runoff from the street or driveway would have to go into the drainage system. Dr. Roth said
he looks at this as an absolute improvement from what was existing but wants to know that the
improvements that are being done can be maintained in perpetuity.
Ms. Gonyer said she is concerned with the pool maintenance with a future owner and said she will draft
a substantial maintenance plan to go with the Order.
Mr. Gallagher made the motion to issue an Order of Conditions to Shawn Carroll, 230 Plain Street, Map 4,
Parcel 75 for a proposed in -ground pool within 100 feet of Inland Bank of Greenwood Lake under DEP SE
211-0992 with the following Special Conditions underthe Mansfield Wetland Protection By-law:
