' 1 �,�;l MANSFIELD CONORVATl6 COZ II MONDAY, MAY 191_ 1986 =r Benefit Street Matter MINUTES PAGE TWO (O'Neill - Ouellette; all in favor) VOTED A call was received from Mr. Jackson regarding the Benefit Street matter. There was some discussion about the work being done illegally and it being the Commission's job to take some action on it. Commissioner Ouellette suggested that we find out who the owner is and discuss the matter with him. Commissioner Graham would like to notify the concerned abutters. MOTION That the Commission invite the owner of the property in to discuss the matter. (Barr - O'Neill; all in favor) VOTED C. Pietrafetta .- Erick Road Project Mrs. Pietrafetta stated that in an earlier conversation with Scott Leite about this project, he had indicated that the area in question had passed some perc tests. In order to educate herself on the subject she had visited the Soil Conservation Foundation in Taunton. While there, she located a map which delineated certain areas in the project as SB and DID. She was told that the SB and MD designations referred to areas unsuitable for sanitary waste facilities. Although Scott Leite said the land had perked well, she pointed out that the test merely indicates that the land is permeable which does not mean it is suitable for sanitary facilities. The map also showed an area which she was told looked like a pond. Commissioner Graham asked if Mrs. Pietrafetta had talked to Scott Leite about using these plans when he is doing his tests. Mrs. Pietrafetta stated she had not yet spoken to him about that. Commissioner Barr sug- gested that the Commission check with the Mansfield News about some aerial photos. Myles Franey - Peter O'Brien Assembly of God Project - West Street Mr. Franey explained that he was not aware of the hearing held on this matter because he was not notified as an abutter. He stated that he believes that the project is impacting on his property and that he has more water on his property now than he ever has. It was suggested that perhaps the detention area is not working properly yet and that Mr. Franey should check with the town to see if they have any plans for replacing the culvert. MANSFIELD CONSERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES MONDAY, MAY 19, 1986 PAGE THREE MOTION That the Commission send a letter to the Church asking them to finish the detention area as soon as possible so there won't be any distress downstream. (Graham - Barr; all in favor) VOTED Commissioner Graham will draft the letter with a copy to Bert Cook, the DPW and Rande Wilson. Mr. Wieczorek Re: Camelot Estates Mr. Wieczorek had the following concerns in connection with the Camelot Estates subdivision: - The removal of gravel from Camelot Estates. He was advised that this was a matter for Bert Cook. - Standing water on Lancelot Road. He is concerned there is no drainage or retention area. This was supposed to be done before any construction was to begin. He is concerned that this is not in accordance with the first order issued by the Commission on the project. Chairman Sweet suggested the Commission members view the site at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 20, 1986. - Air. Wieczorek asked why the Commission released any of the lots. He noted this was done after the public hearing although it was stipulated in the orders that the drainage system be hooked up first. Commissioner Ouellette explained that from her standpoint, it seemed more practical to her to agree to the partial release rather than have the project run into financial problems that might threaten completion of the entire project. Mr. Wieczorek stated he wants to see the drainage system in first. The question was raised whether there should have been revised Orders when the release was requested.
