Flynn. SF it S main concerns seemed to be addressing ,lobs development and transportation issues. One representative (from Swansea or Somerset) commented that there was too much local shortsightedness and implied that quality of life issues were irrelevant in the face of unemployment. Commission status. has pursued acquisition of the land from the state, and is educating itself about its holdings and how they should be used. Mr. Flynn has excellent maps about holdings; the suggestion was made to invite him to provide information about conservation land. WETLANDS PROTECTION ACT HEARING CONTINUATION - SE211 -385 Home Developers Inc. - -Lot 1, Jennifer Drive WETLANDS PROTECTION ACT HEARING CONTINUATION - SE211 -386 Home Developers Inc. - -Lots 2, 3, 4, Jennifer Drive Mr. Doutas and Mr. Maloon were present, as was abutter Debra Graham (574 Maple St.) A replication plan prepared by Drown Environmental Services was submitted. [Comm. O'Neill arrived.] Stone trench now located beside lot 1 driveway. Boulders will stay. The pipe under lot 1 driveway will be extended. Driveway on lot i will have a stone dust /gravel combination surface. Pitch on common driveway will be toward street. Leaking trucks have been moved. If leaking continues, this must be corrected.*' Rubbish man has been contacted to pick up rubbish, according to Mr. Boutas, but rubbish will be removed immediately only if it is considered an "emergency." Chairman CaUldwell advised Mr. Boutas to get a receipt for trash removal. Mr. BOUta5 said a pan had been put under the machine; he said the dump truck doesn't leak but he'll check again. Lot 4 has been removed from the plan, but it hasn't been withdrawn from the plan submitted to DEP. Mr. Maloon said he would notify DEP. The common driveway is proposed at existing grade. Elevations/slopes pre and post are not shown. Mr. Maloon: some of the spots need "touch -Up" to bring it to 3:1 slope. Plan doesn't show intent for driveway areas; plans should show accurately what has been discussed with commission. Old cart path should have been scored so that water could flow over it; plans show it being left as is. Dick: driveway issues can be hand/ d i rd rs. sure replication is done first commission has �e � Loons: To make p , tie p`�ions: to state emphati a l in the orders that it be done first, or to use a bonding procedure; °ic'mm ssioners agree that the issue must be crystal clear to the applicant before hearing ends. Comm. O'Neill also wants refuse out before any other work. commences. Debby Graham asked how the replication areas were chosen, particularly a mature upland area; however, this area would have been graded out anyway. 'A< Cchsevisus 4 comAii.ifion: -trash vnus+ be- removed b4tp_ worL Commences. MANSFIELD CONSERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES MONDAY, JULY 27, 1552 -- PAGE 2 Summary: need better plan showing toe of slope, accurate placement of driveway, elevations, etc. Precedent exists for requiring 'replication before all other work. First item of replication plan doesn't work, because there is no "muck" on site. Dick would prefer a plan similar to that done by Sanford for Austin Farms: small plan showing -replication area, various plants, etc., with a clearer understanding of numbers and distribution of plants and some guarantee of sufficient water and good soils to sustain the replication plantings. A construction sequence, including indication that the house would be constructed after the replication, would indicate the applicant's willingness to comply. Oil situation should be rectified before next hearing. MOTION: To continue the hearings to 8:30 and 8:31 on 8- 10 -92.
