Burke, Director of Planning and Development 1. Meeting called to order at 7:30 P.M. 2. 7:30 P.M. - Appletree Farm Continued Public Hearing Clerk Cadden read a memo from the Engineering Department to Planning Board regarding the drainage system. Ralph Maloon, applicant's engineer, presented revisions made to the plan which shad been requested at the previous public hearing. Board Member Comments Planner Flynn asked if the perforated pipe being used for the drainage system is the same type as is used in Windermere and Sturbridge. Planning Director Shaun Burke stated that it is not similar to the system used in those subdivisions but may be similar to Northridge. Planner Flynn also asked if the residential compound use had been explored, if the handicap ramp location had been changed, if drainage calculations has been certified, if the type of wetlands replication has been stated, and if the trees which are already planted in the location of the cul -de -sac are going to be included in the surety. Public Discussion Dot Paiva of 280 Willow Street stated she is concerned that Lot 5 looks like it is in a lot of wetlands. Board Member Comments Continued Chairman Madan asked Mr. Maloon if the Conservation Commission had set the wetlands lines yet. Mr. Maloon stated that he recently re- flagged the area, but he has not filed with Conservation yet. Chairman Madan also asked if the metal pipe being used for the drainage system meets the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations. The Subdivision Regulations call for a reinforced concrete pipe when going under streets. A waiver would have to be requested for a metal pipe and requested in writing. Mr. Maloon explained his reason for wanting a metal pipe. Planner Caponigro asked if galleries would serve the same purpose as the pipe. Mr. Maloon stated that he could design the system so it is not under the street, but it would require an easement on Lot 4. Chairman Madan stated that he would prefer discharging water off the street. Planner Flynn :asked about the number of sidewalks and if the fire hydrant 'location has been approved by both the Water and Fire Departments Chairman Madan asked if a sidewalk could be installed in front of Lots 3 and 4 and questions about cul -de -sac planting. Shaun Burke, Director of Planning and Development, suggested that a note be added to the subdivision plan stating that the cost of planting all cul -de -sac plants and shrubs will be included in the surety. Chairman Madan suggested that the cost to remove growth already in the cul -de -sac island area also be included in the surety. Mr. Burke stated that he had a bad experience with an infiltration system under a roadway in a previous town he worked for, but that it may have been more of a construction problem than a design problem. A note should also be added to the plan stating that hay bales and a siltation fence shall be used during construction and an easement may be required for site distance on Lots 1 and 2 if trimming will have to be done. Planner Flynn expressed concern of the Lot Nos. 4 & 5 being located within the flood plain being directly downstream of significant water body. Planner Flynn also asked what the depth of the crushed stone is and if' any poorly drained soils are on site. MOTION: To continue the hearing to June 2, 1993 at 8 P.M. to get more drainage discussion from the Engineering Department. Shaun Burke should point out the discrepancy between the Engineering Departments_ recommendation and what is required in the Subdivision Regulations to the Engineering Department.
