Mr. DeVellis explained the plan showing the square <br />footages of the pavement to be removed, proposed farmer’s porch construction, <br />removal of existing deck, and impervious removal and replacement with grass. <br /> <br /> Comments from the Commission as follows: <br />Mr. Hamilton read the engineering report stating, “Calculations are responsive. <br />No other engineering comments.” Ms. Miller asked the distance of the farmer’s <br />porch closest point to the wetland. The farmer’s porch will be 43’ away from the <br />wetland at its closest point. Mr. DeVellis stated the deck is being removed, but <br />the fence is remaining on site. Ms. Mullins commented that she met with Mr. <br />Thuma when the issues were discovered during the building permitting process <br />and discussed next steps. Mr. Hamilton would like the conditions to reflect the <br />huge steep incline between the yard and the wetland. <br /> <br />Motion made and seconded to close the hearing, 4-0 in favor. <br /> <br />10:20 pm Motion made and seconded to adjourn the meeting, 4-0 in favor. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Michelle Morelli <br />Community Development Department Assistant <br />
