Septic systems as- builts were reviewed and compared to the original sepia. [Comm. Rhoads arrived at this point.] Chairman Powers informed the commission that the Planning Board is working out a completion schedule (including the detention area) with Mr. Lanchanski. Mr. Lanchanski stated that the detention area work is no more than a $2000 job, and fie has offered $10,000 in whatever form is satisfactory to the commission. He will build whatever type of berm the commission specifies; at 3 ft. wide and 2 ft. high, running along the length of lots 2, 3, and 4 (545 ft.), and filled with gravel at $8 /yd., the actual cost would be under $1000. Labor would come to about $576. The condition of berms for lots 2 and 3 was included as a precaution, since it was not known where the septic systems would be placed, althea h Lot 4 does need berm work. He is requesting immediate release of lot 5 (based upon the understanding that he will post $10,000 in a passbook account), and then, upon letters of assurance from occupants of lots 2 and 3 (which may not require berms) that they would allow work in the spring, release of additional lots. Mr. Lanchanski still owns lot 4. Lots 1 and 9 are vacant and under potential agreement. Chairman Powers would like a schedule of completion for the work before release of any lots other than lot 5. Mr. Lanchanski requested an extension permit; as a condition for the extension, the commi=ssion would require that a construction schedule be submitted within 45 days for the completion of the detention area on lot 5. Also, lots 2 and 3 must be inspected to determine whether final construction necessitates the berms specified in special condition 02 of the original order. The commission will require letters from owners of lots 2 and 3 giving permission to do the work if it is deemed necessary. Lot 4 will require a berm. MONDAY, DECEMBER W, 1909 w-- PABE 2 Mr. Lanchanski asked for guidance from the commission regarding this berm. There had been concern about additional runoff created by the addition of semi - impervious surfaces. Recharge is the concern; Comm. Rhoads suggested that a one -foot swale would suffice. Comm. Smith suggested a berm might look better, and could be done now. The consensus of the commission was to release lot 5 provided that; permission for berm work is granted by owners of lots 2 and 3, and lot 4 if ownership is transferred; the receipt by Dick of a passbook account in the amount of $10,000; a construction schedule for completion of the work be submitted within 45 days; lots 2, 3 and 4 be evaluated as to the need for berms as specified by special condition H2 of the original order; and that one lot be held in reserve until work is completed, MOTION: To issue a one -year extension (from 12 -181 for SE211 -IS9 to include the previously discussed five conditions, (Rhoads -- O'Neill; all in favor, Smith abstaining?
