No number has been received from DEP. MOTION: To continue to 2 -22 at 7:58. (Forbes - Cormier; all in favor) VOTED REQUEST FOR DETERMINATION OF APPLICABILITY D. R Z. Palutchko, 2E Monahan Lane. The applicants presented a proposal to build a two -car garage, with roof drainage to be fed into dry wells (not shown on the plan). Mr. Palutchko asked the commission's preference regarding driveway surface: crushed bluestone or asphalt. Four commissioners saw the site. No slope proposed from the driveway towards the wetland; drainage will be towards the street. Were there to be any slope towards wetlands, Mr. Sadowski would have a slight preference for crushed stone over asphalt for the driveway surface. Comm. Forbes pointed out that the stone trench shown along the driveway means the driveway surface doesn't matter much; she also reiterated the site walk consensus that the hay bale line should be extended in one area (closer to lot 46). MOTION: To close the hearing. (Forbes - Sadowski; all in favor) VOTED MOTION: To issue a neg. 113 determination, noting the changes in the hay bale line agreed to on the site walk.

Spokesman Ken Larson, 25 Basin St., explained that construction of a new field is being proposed at this time because of Little League growth of about 15% per year. "Future construction" included on the plan will depend on future population/ Little League growth. A parking area has been proposed as well; LL officials have met with Planning Board and Zoning Board officials and have been granted the right not to pave the proposed parking area. The area from Otis St. up to the existing gate will be paved. A gate is proposed between fields to prevent cars from driving onto the fields (it will not prevent pedestrian access). Dick Lewis sat in on the site plan review, where improvements were made to the original plans. Comm. Sadowski had concerns about the parking being so close to Sweet's Pond; proximity varies from E -8 ft. to 20 -40 ft. The parking area (229 spaces) will be pitched towards the retention area. Richard Sheehan, 355 Otis St., questioned the need for 229 parking spaces. Ken Olson responded that the number takes into account non - Little League potential Use (e.g., boat ramp) as well as potential Little League Use; he commented that the Little League might MANSFIELD CONSERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1993 -- PAGE 2 be able to live with fewer spaces but questioned whether that would be in the best long -term interests of the community. Brent Bonnoyman will speak to the volunteer engineer regarding having the areas staked. He also noted that the number of parking spaces has already been reduced, from 274 to 229. Joe McCarthy, 18 Plantingfield Rd., was also present. Paul O'Neill, 294 Gilbert St., suggested posting 10 m.p.h. speed limit signs along the access road.
