Circle and related utilities Within -100 ft. of wetlands.
Site walk was held. -Concern was stabilizing slope without interfering with
habitat. New plan presented showing riprapped slope for stabilization purposes.
Mr. aloon, representing the applicant, stated, that he is .open to proposals other .:
than that represented by the plan submitted -for example; he could put matting
down as well.' : Comm: Weidner approved of the idea of matting, as did the rest
of the commission. No other .questions. Consensus: as long as stabilization is
achieved,_ matting maybe used:but is not required. ,Acting Chairman Powers
raised the question'`of whether the drainage ditch itself is considered a resource
area, or is being stabiliied for the purposes of protecting water quality. It is a.
long drainage ditch which is vegetating as wetland; there is standing -water at `
base of channel, but little vegetation on the slopes.. Consensus: primarily a
water quality issue at this location at this time.
MOTION: ` To close the hearing.

Upland. lvlr Bonvie wih submit the plan for her approval.:. The applicant stated
that he n6 longer proposes to build on lots 66 and 67 at this time.. The red line .
on the plan shows the actual restricd nat the rear of certain lots which will be
deeded in perpetuity: Some lots will only have a 30-40 ft. back yard that is
usable.. This whole section of Massapoag'Estates is surrounded by Zola land;
Dick reminded the commission that it needs to keep that in-mind in terms of
future development. Lot 19, and 22 to a lesser degree, is dght., Dick . asked that
he be notified of future meetings with Pat so he can speak with her too: The
restriction will be on record, so any potential buyer will be informed about the
restrictions. Bounds will also be placed there. The conservation restrictions
allow nothing at all to be done._ Inmost cases, there is no limit of construction
inside the restriction area; lot 19 is the closest: 'Comm. Sadowski wants to, make
sure restriction lines appear. on the house plans as well and would prefer that the
orders be conditioned so that the applicant must provide the commission with
new plans for individual houses showing the restriction and the limit of work (as
approved by the state's Natural Heritage Program) to be drawn upgradient of -the
restrictions,, Conservation restriction: should be recorded within four_ months of
issuance of order; Comm. Powers feels it should be recorded prior to
construction. Dick suggested that no partial certificates would be issued until
that.conditibnis met. Lots 66 and 67 Could be conveyed to the commis"sion.for
consideration of $1, according to Mr .Bonvie.._Dick Lewis suggested including a
finding that due to a change in wetland line relative to conservation restriction, .
