CANOE RIVER AQUIFER PROTECTION
Members of the Conservation Commission met with three other town boards
:(Board of Health, Board of. Selectmen, and Planning Board) to discuss the issues
"raised by Dick's memo on this subject. Close to 1100 units in East Mansfield
need some measures taken to protect the aquifer. The consensus was to support
the redirection of monies set aside for W. Mansfield sewer work to East
,Mansfield and to have any future monies go towards East Mansfield instead of
West. Sewering East Mansfield will not promote additional development, but will
p'etter accommodate what is currently proposed and approved. :Warrant articles
yihich would achieve the end of redirecting the W. Mansfield sewer allocation
".,,must be submitted by the end of January. Comm. Rhoads raised a concern that
the wording be loose enough so as to apply to design as well as construction,
,;and give authorization to pursue 557 funding (DEP grant program, reimbursement);
,'he also felt that procedures for assessing sewer betterments should be evaluated
and, in place.
MOTION: To co- sponsor an, article, with review and approval of verbiage to
follow later, "'which, would promote the ends stated above.

':WETLANDS PROTECTION ACT HEARING CONTINUATION - SE211 -309:
Bonwood /Jess Realty Trust - Kelli Green
Some of the field work has been done, some work has not been completed by
Sanford, and some data that Ralph Maloon has been collecting is not complete.
Flagging has been double- checked. Mr. Maloon submitted plans showing
discrepancies /changes, etc. Carr was replaced by Sanford. Chairman Powers had
question about one area. Sanford will be coming back, so this area can be put
on their list for checking. Ralph submitted one -foot contours (tail end of lot
7).': Area is in water protection district; retention is required, not detention
95 Mr. Maloon has proposed. He stated he will probably propose combination
detention /retention. Wildlife concerns regarding bank area will be addressed
by "Sanford. Wetland crossing is entirely on Jess property; this is the
applicant's response to the commission's concerns about segmentation. Jess has
owned the parcel for 30 years. The commission will be walking the site again
when Sanford, is done (approximately 30 days, according to Mr. Folkman), before
the next hearing. Sanford will be addressing the water 4uality issues at the
pext hearing.
Mr. Fillmore, abutter, questioned wetlands line, etc. Comm. Owens raised a
estion: if Jess sold to Bonvie, how would the Commission 'look at the project.
omas McShane, resident of Austin Farms, asked about the segmentation issue.
letter from Mr. Maloon is in the record explaining that the wetland
terations are entirely on Jess Realty property. Lot 11 is Mr. McShane's lot;
s concern is about where the 100 -year flood level will be. Standing water is
out 12 feet from the back of his deck; he hypothesis that the water will
ready have flooded his yard by the time it gets down to the compensation area
oposed on Ronwood property. Chairman Powers feels that the compensation is
o far down - gradient of the project for which it is compensating. Mr. McShane
ked what the changes of water elevations are; the commission will look for
at in response to Mr. McShane's questions and concerns. -
