PHILIP BEATTY. SHILOH DRIVE - SE211 -169
MINUTES
After receiving the order of conditions issued for file SE211 -169, Mr.
Beatty appeared before the commission to state that one of the lots, lot 12,
was not owned by him, but by his parents. It was explained that the Order was
placed to indicate to any people who might purchase or build on one of the
lots in question their responsibility with respect to wetlands. The Orders
are valid for three years.
MARK AUDET. BIRD ROAD - WETLANDS HEARING CONTINUATION
The hearing resumed at 7:53. Mr. Audet presented plans with additional
notation about wetlands. Commissioners explained that DEQE has not yet issued
a file number, probably because the required signed, stamped blueprint copies
of plans have not been submitted. Plans show the closest wetlands 77 feet
away from the septic system. Commissioner Barr noted that the contours are
shown as requested, but wetlands are shown on a separate, as -built plan.
There was discussion as to where the wetlands actually began. There was still
no indication of wetlands on either side of the property, and the wetlands
vegetation on the sides of the property is of potential concern. There is
also a well in question. It was decided that wetlands and elevations must be
shown on the septic disposal plan, and on the sides of the lot.
MOTION: To meet on August 4.

REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE - Steve Benoit, File SE211 -154
Mr. Benoit appeared before the Commission to request a Certificate of
Compliance for property on Williams St. He stated that there were no changes
from the plans, other than a hot top driveway. Commissioners will inspect the
site Tuesday, July 22, at 6:00 p.m. Mr. Benoit will submit a written request
and will note the change on the plans.
MYLES FRANEY, West St.
Mr. Franey appeared before the Commissioners hoping to resolve the problem
of water being discharged onto his land since the culvert was unclogged by the
Town. He distributed copies of laws of the Commonwealth, as well as copies of
case law, relevant to this issue. Commissioners noted that wetlands
vegetation in the area is well- established and not new, that the town has the
right to maintain the culvert, and that there is an additional issue of a dirt
pile on the property which is causing the illegal filling of a wetland.
MOTION: To speak with the Town Manager and Engineer, as well as Town
Counsel, to determine whether to request that the Church hold
off construction.
(BARR - OUELLETTE; all in favor) VOTED
Mr. Franey maintains that the culvert was abandoned. Commissioner Barr
asked whether Air. Franey would be willing to sell to the town for green belt
purposes. Mr. Franey mentioned that his son might want to eventually build on
that property. Commissioner Ouellette advised that he consult the Commission
before anything is built there.
MOTION: To table the minutes until the next meeting.
(OUELLETTE - BARR; all in favor) VOTED
