20 Charlie Carroll,Autumn Chase subdivision lot release. Charlie Carroll, developer,
21 requested lot release total of 6 lots, lots 6 thru 11 for Molly Town Road. These lots

23 understands that the required drainage issue was to be done prior to release of bond,
24 stabilize detention pond remains to be done within the week. Tony from Christianson&
25 Sergi was present tonight, construct up to Lot 11 then construct detention pond, so all
26 utilities up to lot 11 have been done. Submitted interim as built to the Town to show that
27 as far as constraints were done. DPW is ok w/estimate and that the street is essentially
28 complete. Lincoln to inquire about patching of Summer Street roadway. Chair feels that
29 Summer St. is not acceptable at this time; Tony stated patching is not finished yet; a final
30 coat will be done soon. Chair wants to ensure that streets are up to snuff, once
31 utility/telephone company comes in and tears up a hole doesn't DPW come back in and
32 repair the roadway to town specifications? PB should retain bond money if developer
33 doesn't repair the road correctly the first time around Hold an extra $25K. Lincoln to
34 check about posting additional bond money for this purpose to earmark money
35 specifically because the roads are getting progressively worse. Jack Sullivan stated there
36 should have been a separate bond posted for sewer&utility installation work for this
37 subdivision, and then retain 10 to 15 % of bond money until they go for street acceptance.
38 Bond amount is $91 K. Motion by Alberto Angles to release lots 6 thru 11 and establish
39 bond in amount of$91K, 2nd by Richard Rowen vote was unanimous 4-0. Lincoln to

I Jack Sullivan, Engineer, stated that he provided storm water mitigation for this project.
2 He stated that although CVS did not have a good perk test that Mr Ea's perk test is
3 suitable for infiltration,and he designed recharge units to mitigate a 100-year storm. He
4 submitted report critical to keep drainage functioning properly. Water will flow to
5 Westerly side of property to catch basins, so water will stay on site and not drain onto
6 abutter's property. Placed evergreen plantings on Westerly sideline and existing stockade
7 fence. Plant grass over infiltration system; show snow storage area between parking edge
8 and Westerly boundary. Section 8 general conditions look at letter B (per Jack Sullivan).

16 Public HearinE:
17
18 Bonny Realty Trust/Amy Constantino, Trustee, 12 Bonny Lane, Watershed Special
19 Permit to construct residential dwelling(John Simons is now present at 7:50 pm). Lot
20 was approved in 1979, lot sold to Bonny Realty Trust, grand fathered lot preceding the
21 1987 zoning change to 2 acre Zoning. Minimum lot was 1 acre, at that time. Town
22 Counsel will check the progression of the deeding of the lot to verify that the Iot is
23 entitled to grandfathering. Atty. Donald Borenstein stated that this lot was on record in
24 separate ownership prior to 1994, so the is obligated to comply with the pre 1994
25 Watershed District setback/dimensional requirements. Sewer is installed on Bonny
26 Lane. First proposed alternative has advantages that 2"d alternative doesn't have. First
27 alternative house much closer to road (change location of house and length of driveway
28 needs to do grading within 100 foot of non-disturbance zone). 2"d alternative design
29 requires an engineer to speak for the plan. VHB hasn't submitted their review yet.
30 Retaining wail shown on plan doesn't touch this wall under preferred plan. Shed and
31 brick walk located on site plan, there appears to be improvements from the neighboring
32 property. The property line must have been misunderstood. Con/Com has not done an
33 accepted line of delineation for the wetlands yet. Lincoln to check bylaw what
34 constitutes a request for a variance or Special Permit under the old bylaw 1987— 1994
35 vintage. Lose 1700 s.f. of pavement on preferred plan. PB wants Con/Com to locate
36 extent of wetland relative to preferred plan vs non-preferred plan. PB to do drive by to
37 view the site. PB took a poll and has a tendency to go with the preferred plan. Continue
38 this until November 21, 2006 PB meeting.
