Documentation: NOI Application 8/7/13, Site Plan of Land, Memorandum, and Addendum for Drainage Calculations 9/6/13, Revised Memorandum, Site Plan, and Operations and Maintenance Plan 9/20/13 Present for the Applicant: Scott Smyers, Oxbow Associates, Inc. and Michael Walsh, Homeowner Mr. Smyers stated that the operations and maintenance plan and revised memorandum were submitted. He explained that a second infiltration system was put in for the sump pump infiltration. Mr. Smyers commented that the proposed conditions will have 677 square feet less of impervious surface. Comments from the Commission as follows: Mr. Langseth asked about the elevation of the existing basement. Mr. Smyers replied that it was at elevation 225. Mr. Walsh stated that within reason, the basement level could be raised 6 inches. Mr. Wolk voiced his concerns regarding the basement elevation level. He stated that he is bothered by the testimony given by the neighbors that the drain in the street has already been compromised, there is no guarantee that there are adverse impacts, per the regulations the lot is considered native and therefore, the reduction of impervious surface is irrelevant, and he believes there are enough issues on this property to potentially be problematic. The Commission will condition raising the basement elevation level by 6” to bring it closer to the existing basement level. Motion made and seconded to close the hearing, 7-0 in favor. 8:26 pm Cont.
