The applicant proposes site development in the eastern portion of the site. The Zoning Board of Appeals had asked that Shire maintain the gravel road on site for Fire Department access. The wetland boundary was originally flagged in 2003. A Notice of Intent was filed in 2010 for the primary electrical feed. This project will focus on adding a few inches to increase the grade over the electrical structures. There are 8 crossings of pipe that run under the road which will be cleaned out by hand before the gravel is installed. Per questions from the Commission during the site visit, the wattles used during construction will be biodegradable and the gravel will be base course materials with clay that will not wash away. Construction materials will not be stored on the side of the road. Mr. Langseth asked how the applicant will mitigate possible future erosion. Mr. Hart stated that the design of the roadway being sloped and then progressing downward will prevent erosion. An abutter raised their concerns regarding the width of the road entrance. The Commission stated that their concern was outside of the Commission's jurisdiction. Mr. Mal Crawford asked if the road will be closed for pedestrian traffic during construction. Mr. Hart did not know. On a motion by Mr. Langseth and seconded by Mr. Beuttell, the Commission voted 7-0 to issue a negative determination with conditions.
