Board met with Ken Larsen and Ralph Maloon to discuss the site plan approval application for Cavallo and Signoriello for land at 45 Chauncy Street. Board read the letter from the Town Engineer noting 10 items which he felt should be adjusted. Planner Mangiaratti noted that in accordance with the Town Engineers letter it does not appear that the catchbasins are adequate for a 10 year frequency storm. Engineer Maloon noted that thins is only a 3/4 acre site and that there is no Town drainage in the area. He noted that they would be building on the high spot and provide drainage on the low spot. He noted that they will hold 80% of a 25 year storm. Planner Mangiaratti noted that the Town Engineer has stated that there are not enough basins and questioned if it would be feasible to add more basins. Engineer Maloon noted that this could be done without much problem. Mr. Larsen was in agreement with this. Engineer Maloon noted that the proposed basins are going to be 250 feet apart and that roadway requirements allow them to be 300 feet apart. Chairman Parsons questioned how long the basins would hold the water. Engineer Maloon noted that this would be variable because it depends on the height of the water table and how often the catchbasins are cleaned. He noted that there is good material down deep and very poor material just below the subsoil. Planner Mangiaratti noted that the Board has to be concerned with if this is adequate for the 10 year storm frequency as noted in the Planning Board's regulations and the Town Engineer does not adequately answer this. Engineer Maloon noted that the rear parking areas are sloped in so the water does not flow in the direction of the abuttors. It was noted that the catchbasins are in the vicinity of parking spaces 13 and 20. In regard to the concern that the basins are in the high water level, Engineer Maloon noted that there is still storage area in the basin and that it will leach into the ground only at a slower rate during the high water season. Engineer Maloon noted that in any areas dug near the back bay brook there is not much flexibility between high water level and low water level. He noted that the water table now is 158.4.1.1':We noted that if he raised the site he would be shedng to the abuttors. Planner Mangiaratti noted that he has provided the loading area and labelled the sign as requested and suggested that the Board return the plan to the Town Engineer asking if it is good engineer practices. Planner Mangiaratti noted that if he cant meet the 10 year storm frequency requirement he would have to go for a variance. It was noted by the Board that the increase in curb cut was shown,i:the loading area was deliniated, the sign was labelled and the elevation of the sewer line was shown as requetted by the Board. It was the consensus of the Board that the following information as requested by the Town Engineer should be shown: rubbish area to be moved to the area of the loading dock, note to be added to the plan that the existing cesspool will be filled in, 12 inch drain line to be labelled, ground water elevation to be shown on the second test hole. Motion: To recommend to the Building Inspector that the site plan be approved provided that the Building Inspector receives a certification from the Town Engineer that the drainage system is designed to the 10 year storm frequency. (Matoian, Mangiaratti, all in favor) VOTED Minutes July 19, 1978 Page 3 6. Board reviewed the Street Acceptance Plans for Brookside Estates, along with the letters received from the Town Engineer dated July 18, 1978.
