The second component would include a bridge spanning across an intermittent stream with a road that would connect the two pieces of the facility. He explained that they would modify the retention pond as a way to compensate for the increase in impervious cover. Additionally, there would be path that was accessible to the public that would connect the property to existing conservation trails. Mr. Boraback told the commission that they have been meeting with other town departments to try to hear everyone’s concerns before they go ahead with the permitting process. He explained that the stream crossing is necessary for public safety. Comments and concerns from the commission: Ms. Mullins explained the Directive Review Team at the town hall and how it operates. She told the commission that this project has come in front of DRT multiple times. They were originally proposing two stream crossings, but they have went down to one.
