A complete transcript of the hearing is on file. After the public hearing the Board discussed the application and decided that members would like to take a look at the property. The question of wetlands was raised on a portion of the property. Paul Boyden of the Minutes December 12, 1979 Page 3 Conservation Commission told the Board they will have to file for a wetland hearing and an application has not been received to date. It was the consensus of the Board to wait until the Conservation Commission has acted to make a decision on the application. 9) Under public discussion Paul Boyden suggested to the Board that they invite applicants for Board of Appeals hearings to their Board meeting when they are discussing the Planning Board's recommendations to the Board of Appeals. 10) Mrs. Margot Jellinek told the Board that David Chareth of the Mass.

Representatives from SRPEDD were the speakers.

Planner Morrison questioned if anyone from the Town is required to check on drainage pipes and who's responsibility it is to see that they are placed correctly. Chairman Parsons noted that the developer's engineer is required to submit an "as built" plan and put his stamp on it. It was decided to check with the Planning Director on how much work is involved in spot checking pipes and drainage work in subdivisions. 13) The date for the next meeting was set for December 19, 1979 at 7:30 P.M. 14) The meeting adjourned at 9:15 P.
