Salem St., Special Permit - R. Haverty John Simons read the legal notice and opened the Public Hearing. Letters from the Conservation Commission, Board of Health and Tree Warden were read into the record. Mr. Steve Stapinski, Merrimack Engineering, represented the applicant and made the following comments: The special permit application is to perform work within 100 feet of a tributary to the Watershed of Lake Cochichewick and to perform grading work within 25 feet of a tributary to the Watershed; they have also filed with the Conservation Commission. The project involves construction of a roadway to service single family house lots. It will be serviced by town water and sewer. There will be storm drainage on the street to pick up surface runoff and will empty into a dtention area located on lots 12 & 13 and then discharged into a wetland and pond which is across the street. The applicant has received an order of conditions from the Conservation Commission to perform the work on the plans. They are also providing wetland replication and an erosion control plan. Mr. Stapinski assured the Board that there will be no impact on the Wetlands as a result of the construction. Members Roberts and Simons stated several concerns regarding this special permit and whether it would have an adverse affect on the neighborhood and the town, i.e., water quality because of pollutants (salt, sand, fertilizer) eventually draining into the Lake. Erich Nitzsche questioned Mr. Stapinski on the re-vegetation program and surface water runoff on Johnson Street. Mr. Stapinski replied that swails will be constructed and water will be directed into catch basins. Mr. Robert Rudolph represented James Hamblet, an abutter on Salem Street. He informed the Board that an appeal through the courts is being pursued on behalf of Mr. Hamblet. He expressed concern with this special permit with regard especially to ground water runoff and its impact on the drinking water supply. The subdivision-Heritage Estates, Mr. Roberts stated, is in an aquifer and therefore special care must be taken not to contaminate the water. Mr. Stapinski will provide the Planning Board with surface water pollution figures at a later date. MOTION: SECOND: VOTE: By John J. Burke to take the matter under advisement. Erich W. Nitzsche.
