(BARR - GRAHAM; all in favor, O'Neill abstaining) VOTED ORDER OF CONDITIONS - File SB211 -180 Erick Rd. Bonney Lane, Mansfield Associates Realty Trust Dick Lewis contacted Gary Makuch at DEQE. The orders can be written for this area despite the matter still in appeal with DEQE. However, Mr. Makuch noted that DEQE would have problems with the detention basin proposed, since it is poorly designed and might not function. In addition, it is located within the edge of a vegetated wetland. The size is adequate but would probably not detain water, since a detention basin can only function properly if the inlet and outlet are at different elevations. Discussion took place about the possibility of requesting testing in the area for septic system contaminants and potential pollutants, to ensure that the wetlands will not be negatively impacted. No decision was taken at this time. Orders were written as follows: 1. Work shall be done per most recent plans presented at hearing on 11/24186. 2. The drainage ditch from Bonney Lane to easterly property line shall be cleaned, properly graded and rip- rapped, bottom and sides. 3. Oil /water separators and the entire drainage system shall be properly maintained by the developer until the road is accepted by the town. 4. A plan and schedule of construction as well as cleaning procedure shall be submitted fourteen (14) days prior to beginning of construction. 5. There shall be no stockpiling of excavated materials within 100 feet of wetlands. 6. The stream bed shall be excavated down to gravel. The detention basin sides shall be loamed to final grade and then seeded. A plan for replacement of wetlands vegetation shall be presented to the Commission. 7. Appropriate siltation controls shall be in place prior to construction and shall remain until the drainage system is functioning or until permission to remove it is granted by the Commission or its Agent. 8. The sign required by General Condition 9 shall be visible from and next to the road and shall not be nailed to a tree. No work shall be done until the sign is posted. 9. Any changes to plans made by any other boards shall necessitate a review by the Commission. MOTION: To issue as written.
