William McDevitt was present.
Proposing an in-ground pool and spa within the 100 ft. buffer zone of Bordering
Vegetated Wetlands.
There will be a silt barrier and hay bales in place, maintained throughout the
installation process. There will be no filling of wetlands and any additional
material not used for backfilling will be removed from the site. The pool will be
equipped with an oversized 450 sq. ft. "cartridge filtration system." The filtration
system will be connected to a "Saft Generator" completely eliminating the need
for chlorine or shocking of the pool water. South Shore Gunite will be doing the
work.

Michele visited the site and agrees with the BVW line. The 25 ft. no "touch line"
will be observed. Land wilt be cleared up to the 25 ft. zone.
Michele recommends issuing an Order of Conditions with the addition of a living
fence along the 25 ft. zone. Mr. McDevitt will have a fence around the pool
installed and will also be putting in a living fence for aesthetic reasons.
Mr. McDevitt also asked if he could put up a small shed. The Building
Department has told him that he needs to be 6 ft. off the property line and 10ft.
away from the house. The Commission said it is ok as long as he observes the
25 ft. no "touch zone."
Marc made a motion to approve the Order of Conditions, with Michele to be
notified when the hay bales are in place for an inspection. Paul said an engineer
must certify that the hay bales are properly placed during excavation.
Jerry seconded.
Passed (4-0).
The applicants were not present.

(10x20) attached to the side. They will be putting the new garage on the same
footprint as the old garage. The existing garage will be removed.

not on their parcel of land.
Michele-hay bales should be in place.
