Present for the Applicant: Timothy Lee, Timothy Lee Landscape Design and John Savello, Savello & Associates Mr. Lee proposed raze and rebuild of a single-family dwelling. Mr. Savello explained the drainage calculations and proposed infiltration system. Due to a high groundwater level, a force pump system will need to be put in place. Comments from the Commission as follows: Mr. Langseth asked what would happen during a power outage and if the system would be tied to a generator. The details to be revised include: Inspection ports to be shown on plan, complete basement sump pump final plans, and the walkways need to be shown on the drainage plan. Mr. Bitsko asked about controlling the roof runoff by setting up a trench drain at the end of the driveway to keep the water from running into the street. Mr. Bitsko asked if the homeowner knew how to operate and maintain the infiltration system. Mr. Hamilton read the engineering report into the record. The homeowner of 17 John Poulter Road asked for clarification on the direction of the driveway runoff and the proposed tree removal.
