As soon as drainage work is in, the detention area will be put in.

Development affecting the isolated land - lots 104, 148, 149, 150 on the MAC MANSFIELD CONSERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES MONDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1991 -- PAGE 2 side - may extend beyond the three -year period. Those lots will need to be designed and Heard under separate Notices of Intent. Comm. O'Neill emphasized that replication must be done before filling the wetland.

The applicant stated that he understands the commission's intent in this matter. A planting scheme was submitted for the replication area. Results of a nitrate study undertaken in response to concerns raised by Comm.

Drainage figures, pre- and post- development, were laid out on one sheet and submitted to the commission, showing the direction of post -dent. flows.
