44 management practices. PB stated that MHF should file something w/PB stating their comments
45 relative to best management practices also. What language beyond "help ensure quality of water
46 in lake"would be acceptable? Chris Tamula, engineer for MHF was present and stated that VHB
Planning Board

I wrote the initial letter way back. in September of 2005. MHF outlined all of their issues relative to
2 this project, if you look at the memo you could see what could be done or could not be done,
3 therefore, MHF stated what they could do. PB wants more commitment from VHB that the
4 drainage is a good drainage system, not wishey washey language. Lincoln stated memo does
5 address Town's standards; however, VHB can't guarantee the drainage system. VHB needs to
6 state more specifically and go beyond"these things help". PB wants VHB recommendations that
7 all BMP's be incorporated into this design. Please note: John Simons is now present at 7:30 pm.
8 Mr. Tamula stated that MHF has implemented everything in this final review recommended by
9 VHB. PB stated get VHB to state that in a supplementary review all of the changes have been
10 incorporated. John Simons wants to reach for a practical limit on this about what is reasonable to
11 say and how far to go, however, this VHB review is a little wishey washey. John Simons stated
12 that VHB should have said there is no best management practices that they could recommend that
13 are not included in this review. PB wants to get VHB to write a stronger letter. PB stated that
14 Lincoln should make sure the decision references both VHB letters Oct 13, 2005 and the current
15 letter of August 2006. Motion by Richard Rowen to close the public hearing for a Site Plan
16 Review SP, 2"d by John Simons. PB stated that they will wait to vote on the decision until

4 Special Permit and Watershed Special Permit to relocate the access roadway, parking lot re-
5 configuration, and the addition of 9 parking spaces. Chris Tamula presented tonight, pointed out
6 changes to plan. He has not received a review form VHB yet on this project. Eleven parking
7 spaces initially, changed it to relocate nine parking spaces. Mr. Tamula stated easement has to be
8 worked out, then the language will be incorporated into the final decision. Mr. Tamula should
9 provide a landscaping plan to the PB and comments. There is 250'non-disturbance zone, verbiage
10 regarding soccer field wasn't cleaned up language left it as open space, PB wants language added
11 such as"meets and bounds". Lincoln to send message to VHB to be more definitive in their
12 assessment of their reviews. Continued until the Oct. 3rd PB meeting. Joe Levis was present
13 tonight, he marketed this property and showed it approximately 60 times, issue is proximity to
14 farm house to street and parking too close to street, and the condition of the farm house. He will
15 be back for a modification some time, if PB knows of anybody who would be interested in this
16 property please let Mr. Levis know. Another issue is people like the barn, but would take the
17 house down. Ironically when they applied for a SP they wanted to keep the historical look of the
18 house at that time, however, no one is now interested in it. Continued until Oct 3 rd. meeting.
