Mr. Kirby explained that they had proposed a restoration area on the side of the property. As part of the restoration, they were going to create a stream that would flow into a pipe and outlet onto the neighboring town owned wetland. During construction, it was discovered that the previous owner brought some additional fill into the area and now the stream will not flow into the pipe. Showed presentation. Proposing stream that goes beneath sewer access road. They found that the previous owner had brought fill in when Artis took control of the property in 2017. The fill was put in where the pipe was supposed to go. They are proposing to remove some fill and regrade the area so that the stream will flow into the pipe.
