This was a joint hearing for a definitive subdivision plan and a special permit for a site sensitive development. Ms. Ginna Johnson was designated to act on the special permit piece of this project. Mr. Russell, project engineer was present. Mr. and Mrs. Tung, applicants joined the meeting in progress. Mr. Russell explained that this project came in 2006 for a definitive subdivision and again in 2008 and the Planning Board recommended a Site Sensitive Development (SSD) that was recently approved by Town Meeting. The owners were now moving forward with this plan. The site has approximately 1.4 acres of land mostly wooded and has moderate to steep slopes in the middle and less steep around the perimeter. The proposed development would have two lots and a new house was proposed to be built at the summit of the hill. The house footprint shown was not the final footprint and would be tied in prior to any approval. The end of Summit Road had an existing gravel path with extensive erosion, which would be repaired and rip rap would be added to prevent future erosion. The new impervious surfaces for roof cover and driveway runoff would be collected and piped into three infiltration systems and mitigated on site, which would maintain or reduce existing flows on site. The water main service was recently completed and looped and would be accessed for the new house. The rip rap would be across the entire width of the road. Board comments:  The decision deadline would be at the end of August.
