The Heritage Commission has reviewed the plan. Conservation Commission member Lynn Draper is quoted as saying at a ZBA hearing that they are not in support of the proposed driveway for lot one.

The Board asked if the applicant considered conservation protection area in the back, which will eliminate the problem and the policing of the wetlands.

Lot 48-2 should have 4 off-street parking spots.  Add a Note that all parking should be on-site.

Spencer Brookes discussed three concerns with the canal.
1.    The Canal is deep and a causeway there should use guard rails.
2.     Locating a causeway.  Concerned about the old fire house and flooding.  Wondering if the 24” culvert is adequate.
3.     The lot itself is above the flood plain and can a cellar be put in and what type of structure needs to be put in?

Discussed building in the flood plain and the foundation as well as waterlines and culverts.

Bob MacFarland was present.  He presented 20 waivers (see file).

Spencer Brookes informed the Board that there is a wetland complaint at the state level regarding this property and adjacent lot that was sent in May to the owners.  When the highway was redesigned they used the fill on the property to fill in the wetlands.  Mr. Brookes will update the Board.  Research would need to be done, but it is believed a former ice cream applicant was rejected because the wetlands were filled in.

In reviewing the old file, the driveway permit 4-15-98 was depending on the usage.  The applicant would need to contact DOT.  Traffic pattern and expected level of usage is requested.

The Board requested a modern day plan with signage, driveways, lighting, parking and so forth. The plan submitted is from 1986.  The Board also want to know about the wetlands.

The drainage has been updated and it has all been accounted for in the scale house application, which is pending before the Board.  The other side is moderate pavement.

Matt Fish questioned seepage from the pump house into the river and wanted to know if that is included into the calculations.

Alec MacMartin questioned why there is no treatment on the north side to protect the brook.  Requested a little detail from the access to the bridge.  The Board was informed that there is a berm but want details on the map.  A toe board will be on the edge of the bridge to keep stuff off the bridge.  The water from the west side should flow back on-site.
