Newmark, addition 8.30 pm (201-467) Present: John Noonan, representative; Amy Newmark and Robert Heingartner, applicants. This hearing is continued from a previous meeting on May 9 John Noonan presented the revised plan. The revision included shortening the driveway by 14.5 feet and pulling the erosion control further from the top of the bank. A test pit was dug and perc test performed. With this information they found that only one drywell is required. Roof runoff from the entire rear portion of the house will be directed to the leaching drywell, thus reducing the rate of stormwater runoff from the impervious surface. Mr. Heingartner said that he had hired an arborist who recommended that the silver maple tree in the area of the proposed leaching nit should be removed. This will allow the leaching nit to be moved further from the roots of the other two trees which will contribute to the health of the remaining trees. Mr Heingartner submitted the information from the arborist. Mrs. Miller noted that the entire lot is within 100 feet of the riverfront. According to DEP,the Commission may approve riverfront projects where there is improvement to the existing conditions. Under existing conditions the runoff from the roof and the driveway flow toward the brook. This will be reduced and diverted under the proposed plan. It was noted that the row of natural vegetation at the top of the bank will remain as is. The Commission concurred with the arborist's conclusion to remove the tree. Mrs. Miller read the Engineering report which finds the revised drainage design, supporting calculations, and soils investigation data acceptable. It was moved, seconded and unanimously voted to close the hearing.
