Slope at the rear of the lot which goes down to a wetland area, then upland again, before
the river. Walkout basement will minimize the grading at the rear of the house. File # SE
211 -548. Commissioner Hanlon had walked the site and did not have any problems, but
she did raise the issue of a need for double haybales. Dick Lewis also walked it with the
applicant; he felt that with the haybales placed on the trail which runs across the property
there would be plenty of opportunity to stop any silt run -off with a single row. Project
will be monitored closely since the slope exists. Motion [Pastore/Smith] to close the
hearing; Voted 4 -0 -0. Motion [Pastore/Boyer] to issue the Order of Conditions as
reviewed and discussed.

other information he can.
