Questions were raised on the following points:
(1) Dick Lewis asked what happens to the bordering vegetated wetland line
in a 100 -year storm event. The area is not within those studied by the town
and federal government to determine flood levels. Mr. Speluski and others
observed that there has traditionally been water in several places not noted
on the plans.
NOTION: To request a 100 -year flood study to answer the question of how
high the water goes, with flow from the chocolate factory taken
into account, and calculations and delineations shown on plans.
(MANDELL - GRADY; all in favor) VOTED
(2) Mr. May asked whether the amounts of water normally absorbed by the
large trees present have been taken into account in the drainage
calculations. Mr. Parmentier responded that various formulas are available to
determine the difference between impervious surfaces and surfaces which allow
drainage, some of which are based on denser or less dense forests.
Commissioners and residents noted, however, that differences in size and
expiration rates of trees, coupled with the large amount of rock ledge in this
area, could have effects not covered by the standard formula applied in this
case.
NOTION: To continue the hearing to January 11 at 8 :00 p.m.
