informal plan. He described filling in the isolated wetland and replicating it along Lincoln Street. Mr. Langseth commented that the overall concept makes sense, but there would be issues to overcome. He stated that the grading along the perimeter would be a difficult issue. Mr. Kennedy commented that replicating a wetland along a street does not make sense for the wildlife habitat. Mr. Hamilton stated that it would have to be proved that the replicated wetland provides interest and will succeed. Mr. Bitsko commented on increasing the replication area to separate replication from stormwater. Also, water quality swales do not work on steep grades. The Commission spoke about the need for more details that clearly show the proposal can be constructed without adverse impact to interests including abutter impacts. Mr. Wolk wants to be assured that abutters will not be impacted. Mr. Bitsko suggested using existing soils and plants for the replication. 8:41 pm Plan deviation discussion and compliance for 65 Munroe Road, DEP# 201-823, BL 781 Steve Marsh and Scott Goddard were present for this discussion.
