He did not realize that even though the state exempted the work the By Law still required a filing. Mr. Marro noted he had seen the work and had no comment. Commissioner Rabbit asked the applicant about perhaps amending the file to include replacing the entire wall to allow for work without having to file for subsequent hearings. Mr. Luck said not at this time as the wall is in good condition and was not sure if he was going to continue to retain ownership. There were no questions from the public. Mr. Bertram moved to issue a negative determination. Mr. Rabbit seconded and the Commission approved unanimously. 324 Mulpus Road ~ Pursuant to MGL ch 131, s 40 as amended and the Tow n of Lunenburg Wetlands Protection and Municipal Bylaws there will be a continuation of a public hearing on a Notice of Intent filed by Thoma s Christopher of Christopher Environmental Associates. The proposed project is for removal of trees within the Riverfront Buffer Z one and restoration work. Tom Christopher outlined the discussion from the last meeting and noted the continuance was needed to wait for a determination from NHESP. He noted that NHESP issued a determination allowing the work as outlined in the Notice of Intent. He noted that DEP requested that an alternatives analysis be submitted to the Commission as the work technically is in riverfront. He outlined that the alternatives involved actual crossing of the stream and was not feasible. They also wanted a narrative on bank disturbance. DEP also requested that the floodplain be examined to see if there would be any change in the 10 year flood plain. He noted there would be no change. They also inquired about a planting plan and a planting detail list which the applicant has provided. Also, took the Chair’s suggestion about biodiversity and moved the fencing back to meet the 30 foot no touch zone. The Chair noted he felt the concerns have been met and suggested that sweet gum trees should be monitored. There were no questions from the commission. Mr. Bertram moved to issue a standard Order of Conditions based on the planting plan and the fence being moved. Mr. Luck seconded and the commission approved unanimously. ===PAGE 2=== MINUTES November 18, 2015 169 Townsend Harbor Road ~ Pursuant to MGL ch 131, s 40 as amended and the Town of Lunenburg Wetlands Protection and Municipal Bylaws there will be a public meeting on a Request for Determination of Applicability fi led by Patrick J.

He penciled in the amendment on the plan and signed the amendment of the plan. Mr. Bertram asked about potential impacts to the dike by the removal. The Chair explained that site examination indicated that there would be no impact to the dike by the removal. Commissioner Rabbitt reviewed another area of trees with a double trunk. It was decided by the applicant he would just come back with a subsequent file instead of amending. Mr. Luck noted a concern that if we were to allow the three trees to be removed that there should be three used to replace it instead of one and expressed concern it could be moving backward. Mr. Murphy explained that there was a lot of vegetation that was already there that has grown in. The Chair noted that one of the trees served no shading value and the soils weren’t conducive to re-growth and that there may not be enough space to allow for successful re-growth. It was also discussed that it would not be stumped and flat cut to grade. Commissioner Luck noted that in the future we should examine tree for tree. The Commission seemed in agreement to examine that issue as sites arise. The applicant agreed to attempt to add a second tree. There were no questions by the public. Mr. Jones made a motion to issue a negative. Mr. Bertram seconded with the amendment to attempt to add a second tree which was accepted by Mr. Jones.

He outlined the work and the discussions of a sediment pit to be added by the well driller. The representative indicated a willingness to add the sediment pit. It was examined by the commission as to the location of the wetland. They examined other maps and found the boundary outlined. It was noted that the existing well was not a drinking supply and that the former was remedial action. It was noted that any filling on the property was done in the buffer zone only. Commissioner Bertram inquired if there should be a minimum distance to wetland. The Chair noted that it was going to be in existing lot and that we can note it cannot be in the tree line. It was also noted that there would be a sediment basin built as well. Mr. Rabbit wanted to ensure that the Board of Health has all of the same information. There were no comments from the public.

Commissioner Bertram wanted to clarify that this was informational gathering and we would open a more formal hearing on December 2, 2015 Rhonda Lisio of 151 Reservoir Road noted that the debris and access road would impact her property and feels that the development would impact her property re: flooding and sediment. She expressed concern that during construction some (3) of the driveways would be directed to her property. Mr. Marchetti noted that the development is graded to drain back from the road and not to the road. Residential development is at this time exempt if built one by one and if built all at once could be regulated by EPA regulations. The Chair inquired as to why the access road cannot be moved over to be more in line with the property boundaries. Mr. Marchetti noted that it would place the easement in the no touch zones and through the wetlands.
