6 Project: Proposed raze and re-build of a single family dwelling Mr. Zoltan Juhasz presented before the Commission. The property is currently fully developed. A similar proposal came before the Commission a few years ago but was not followed through on. LEC did the original wetland delineation and Mr. Juhasz had Norse Environmental delineate a secondary line to confirm the wetlands. Between the two lines they will be using the more conservative delineation. There are no habitat related issues. There will be about 48% of the buffer zone disturbed in by the construction activities. The drainage calculations have been reviewed by the Engineering Division. As confirmed in a prior hearing this year, the most recent order of conditions to be issued to 18 Cooke Road was not followed through on, except for the approved tree removal. In preparation for construction activities, Mr. Juhasz stated that the several catch basins located on Cooke Road will have additional protections installed. They will also be using the driveway as much as possible for construction activities. No construction activities will take place in the no disturb zone. Mr. Juhasz stated that they will be constructing an informal slope in the rear of the property. They will be using only stones found on site. Mr. Juhasz additionally stated that they hope to clear dumped concrete that is located within the wetland buffer zone. They will seek the Commission's approval for that later on in the construction process. Mr. Langseth stated that it is not clear what re-grading will be done. Mr. Beuttell voiced his support for the clearing of the concrete but asked to include a planting plan when the applicant comes before the Commission in the future. Mr. Beuttell additionally asked that adequate separation be installed in the slope to allow for water flow. Mr. Beuttell asked that the slope be consistent. Mr. Juhasz stated that at most the slope will be a 2:1 horizontal to vertical slope but that he will provide additional information for the Commission. Mr. Langseth asked for more detail regarding the driveway drainage and how it will be installed. Mr. Bitsko stated that on the plans it appears that the slope will have universal thickness. Mr. Bitsko asked that the plans reflect the change in slope width as the slope moves throughout the property. Mr. Bitsko also raised his concern regarding how it will extend the limit of work line. Mr. Langseth noted that the NHESP submittal appears to be 10 or 12 years old. Mr. Langseth asked Mr. Juhasz to take a look to see if there are any updated resources to pull information from.
