There are two major topographical features: 2 wetlands in the middle of the property; road will go along 1 wetland and drain into the other wetland; a pond will be formed on lot 20 by ditchingS elevation of the pond will be set at 119; it will be a 3 ft. permanent water body; percs were made, mostly glacial till, some gravel; water table from 4-~ ft. Proposal for subsurface disposal systems and wells; grades of road are held at ~ of 1% which is a deviation from the Rules & Regs. because of aesthetics and the ex~tra fill would incurr a tremendous construction difficulty. Mr. Gelinas' reason- ing was that they did not feel that the 1% requirement could not be w~ived in this instance but, if there is disagreement, the applicant would meet the requirement. Letters read: Tree Dept., Fire Dept., BPW, Highway Surveyor. Letter also read from the H~tS re ponds and earth removal. The Subdivision Control Subcommittee to walk site. Then Mr. Monteiro asked for a comment from Gelinas, B~rba~llo or abutters regarding Cyr's letter. Mr. Roberts added that he would like comments on the Fire Chief's letter. Blake Adams, abutter,~was interested and concerned about the right of ;,ay that goes over lot 18 amd commented that the wetland is quite a bit larger in reality than is shown on the plan. David Morse, attorney representing Dr. Love, stated that Dr. Love ehares Mr. Adams' concern~and that there has been a suggestion that the right of w~y be relocated so it runs between lot 17 amd lot 18 and then on to Love's property. This right of way is part of Dr. Love's title. Mr. Gelinas explained that it was the intent some years back to create ~ 30 ft. righ~ of way but now it is a graveled maintained 18-22 f%. strip that serves the Adams and Love properties, l~uch discussion took place about where this right of w~y should go and Mr. Adams said he would reserve his approval until such time as he knows ex~otlywhere iZ is to be located. Catherine Donovan, Boxford St.: requested that someone measure from the Essex Cry. boundary that is on her proper~y to the pin because it has been changed over the years. Gelinas stated that he would meet with Mrs. Donovan's surveyor. In rebutting the town department recommendations, Mr. Gelinas stated that it would not be lawCul for the BOARD to turn down the proposal because of Fire Chief's letter stat- ing need for communal water; no problem as far as trees are concerned; }~ghway Surveyor is absolutely right regarding the ~ of ~% and would discuss this point with him; also agreed with the point regarding applying for an earth removal permit on pond area. Barco is willing to get together with anytowndepa~%men~ and write a letter which is binding as to the disposition and routing of the materi~l if it has to be c~rried off site.
