Gregory Zurlo was absent. **************************SUBDIVISION ADMINISTRATION**************************** PUBLIC HEARING Stedman Road, definitive plan: Mr. Canale called the public hearing to order at 7:32 p.m. In attendance were Attorney Frederick Paulsen, and David Romero and Eric Nitche of Commonwealth Engineering, with approximately 3 people in the audience. Mr. Romero said the revised plans show the layout without the sidewalk, an 18-foot pavement width, operation and maintenance plan for drainage, and a revised easement for the driveway (handed out at the meeting) to allow vehicles to enter and turn around on the driveway. The new plan submitted would save 8-10 trees, provide substantial snow storage area, require a waiver for the berm curbing, and replace no parking signs with no stopping and no turnaround signs. The slope details show stabilization for the 1:1 slope. Storm water issues have still not been addressed and the applicant will be going before the Conservation Commission on June 22. Mr. Henry said he received comments from the Engineering Department late today, and needed to review and discuss them with the Engineering Department. Board comments:  Pass on storm water issues for now, since no updates were available at this time.  There was concern with the construction of the drain on the northern side of the property.  Construction phasing would need to be discussed with the school and should avoid trenching on a school day.  The drainage from Farmcrest Avenue could run across Stedman Road but should not travel along it.  What would be done with the old swale?  There is a steep slope on the south side of Farmcrest Avenue.  The walk way from Farmcrest Ave. to Marrett Road is not suitable for bikes, want stone dust not
