Mr. Kirby responded saying that they are collecting the roof runoff and not the driveway runoff, and that this is not the first time that the calculations have met the regulatory requirements without infiltrating the driveway runoff. Responses of the Applicant: -Tree protection in place and the zone of natural vegetation will also be preserved -Roughly 6900 square feet of vegetated buffer zone will effectively remain. No change other than a modest restoration effort of 200 square feet. -Property owner has no intention of removing the trees in the back, only concerned with the trees closest to the house and the infiltration system. -Current lawn will be incorporated into the buffer zone restoration. Mr. Richard Zermani, abutter and property owner of 16 Blueberry Lane, stated that he is a proponent of saving any pine trees if at all possible and does not feel that they pose a hazard, adding that the rear of the properties are a fairly thin forest in his opinion. Mr. Kirby followed up saying that many of the trees are not within Conservation jurisdiction because they are outside of the 100 foot buffer zone, however any trees removed would be reviewed through the building permit and the tree town bylaw. Mr. Langseth added to the runoff conversation, stating that he thinks the site soils (type C) are very tight, and even if it were "open space in good condition,"there would still be a fair bit of runoff. He estimates this is why the driveway does not need to have stormwater managed. On a motion by Mr. Beuttell and seconded by Mr. Langseth, the Commission voted 6-0 by roll call vote to close the hearing.
