Engineering Services, Inc and Abutter Dennis Kard were present Mr McDonough read the legal notice Ms McKay stated the filing is for the construction of a 24' x 20' addition to an existing single-family dwelling with associated grading in the buffer zone to a bordering vegetated wetland The wetland resource area is just off property to the north of the lot on the Lawrence Airport Property All, work including grading, is proposed outside of the 50-foot No Build zone The limit of work (erosion controls) is proposed 55-foot from the resource area The plan depicts a soil stockpile area to the rear of the dwelling behind the proposed addition and is in a suitable location The access for construction has not been depicted on the plan or noted in the NOI It is strongly recommended that access for construction be conditioned for this project The area immediately adjacent to and along the driveway is steeply sloped and access by this route could result in impacts to the resource area The access from the side of the lot where the work is proposed is feasible The Boilerplate condition in Order No dumpster allowed in within the 50-foot of resource area The staff recommends additional language in this condition if approved so the dumpster is not stored within the limits of the existing driveway The records in the building file, specifically a Plot Plan dated August 1, 1983, appear to indicated that the existing in-ground pool prior to the Bylaw regulations No building or conservation permits were found for the pool, to indicate whether the pool was subject to the state Act A building permit was issued for the Deck in May of 1991 No form U sign off was found with the building permit application No conservation filing was found for the deck A 12 '/2' x 10' shed on concrete blocks exists off property on the Airport Property and is immediately adjacent to the resource area No building permit was found for the shed The wetland boundary was reviewed The staff believes that the wetland may actually extend through portions of the shed and does not agree with the location of the wetland Flag A4 It was difficult to accurately determine at the time of my inspection, since there were several inches of snow cover and since I could not auger any soils beneath the shed The vegetation was not the best indicator in this location The topography and soils surrounding the shed better indicated that the shed might be in fact within the resource area It appears that the shed is being used to store chemicals, ect The staff is concerned that the pool waters are being discharged into the resource are No further comments Mr Osgood stated the shed would have to be # yy removed and the yard waste and grass clippings would have to be removed Mr Mabon stated the discharge water from the pool could be damaging the wetland area Mr Manzi stated they would not have to re-pipe the dram just flex hose with an extension to direct drain away from the wetland area A motion to close and issue a decision in 21 days was made by Mr Manzi, seconded by Ms Feltovic Unanimous A motion to adjourn the meeting at 9:30pm was made by Mr. Manzi, seconded by Mr. Mahon. Unanimous.
