1 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:18,400 There being a forum present, I hereby call this um 2 00:00:14,799 --> 00:00:23,199 September the 2nd, 2026 meeting of the Fox Bar Conservation Commission to 3 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:26,640 order. >> All right. 4 00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:31,519 » Um so start off with the minutes. interesting 5 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:35,280 is the review minutes and chorus. Uh they don't have a chance to review 6 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:40,399 the minutes. They look pretty short, which we do have two sets. Um I'll just 7 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,800 let >> I think it was just Lucy who was in 8 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:49,760 here, but anyone online or watching this over recording. We did hold a emergency 9 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:56,000 meeting brief, only about 10 minutes on Thursday at 2 p.m. Um the agenda was 10 00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:02,320 uploaded. Uh it was not recorded but the minutes here are set to be approved and 11 00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:08,640 that was um to approve the emergency certificate for the briefing of the dams 12 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:11,840 at Paddock Estates. Um and so let's let's do the August 19th. 13 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,840 » Yes. Let me pull that up >> first. 14 00:01:52,880 --> 00:02:02,399 Isn't there a vote to say vote for this negative intimidation of 15 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:07,439 applicability? This says there's one motion. I thought 16 00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:10,879 I saw on 17 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:15,599 » I see motion was made by David seconded by Liz and voted unanimously to 18 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:19,680 close the hearing and issue a negative number two uh determination. 19 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:24,640 » What's that? >> That's the way it was done. 20 00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:29,760 » Well, that's okay. I mean, usually they close the hearing and then issued the 21 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,080 transition vulnerability, but it's not a huge difference. 22 00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:41,920 It should say there was a vote. Well, it 23 00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:46,400 » says we voted unanimously. So I mean the implication is is that the motion to 24 00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:50,920 close the hearing and and issue the determination is made in saying 25 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:27,360 You would make a motion on the August 19th 26 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:38,240 I I wasn't there. So, >> oh, 27 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:41,520 » I'll move to approve to August 19th and I'll second 28 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:47,600 move and second and to approve the minutes for the August 19th meeting. Um, 29 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:55,320 all those in favor say I. >> I. All those opposed. 30 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,320 That motion carries unanimously. 31 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:05,280 So on the August 27th meeting minutes Ian um just just go it's right here it 32 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,320 says the property owner has filed an application for a board of health 33 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,039 emergency permit to breach the dam. >> Yeah. 34 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,720 » I my recollection from the meeting is is that the board of health actually issued 35 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,919 that. I think you brought you brought it up on the screen. 36 00:05:15,759 --> 00:05:23,520 » Um they that was the permit that they applied. Uh and 37 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:27,600 » this was on Thursday. Yeah. So Jim had sent it Friday. He had not yet finalized 38 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,400 an >> Okay. Okay. 39 00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:37,039 So I think you weren't there. We'll see. Obviously. So 40 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:45,440 » Steve or Steve? >> Yes. Sure. I I I will move the approve 41 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:51,360 minute of August 27th emergency meeting. Second. move and seconded to approve the 42 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:56,960 minutes of the August 27th, 2026 emergency meeting. Um, all those in 43 00:05:54,479 --> 00:06:03,280 favor say I. >> I. All those opposed. No. So, maybe one 44 00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:06,000 extension. >> Oh, no. No. 45 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:10,240 » You can't. >> Yeah. Okay. Sorry. 46 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:13,840 » That motion carries unanimously. >> So, did they breach it or 47 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:18,319 » I think that's it's been started. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'll I'll give an update 48 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:23,199 right now as well. Um, so I believe it's one of the Oh, no, sorry. I did not 49 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:29,120 print it. It was a nine page long email chain that really did not need to waste 50 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:33,440 paper on. Um, but I do have a folder here for the Beaver Dams update that 51 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:39,120 I'll get into. Uh, because we do not have 745 just yet. 52 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:43,280 So, uh, if we're going over to the Hagerland, 53 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:48,000 let me X this out so we have a little more space. 54 00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:54,479 Um, the Hagar Land was very successfully breached. Uh, the fire department um 55 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:59,440 came by last Tuesday or Wednesday, I believe, and 56 00:06:56,479 --> 00:07:03,440 they blasted it and the DPW was also there. They were chopping up the uh 57 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:09,199 cutting through the wood and they did a very good job clearing. I'd say about 10 58 00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:13,919 or 12 linear feet um under the bridge, making a good clearing. Uh and as you 59 00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:18,960 can see, water has been flowing and it was I'll remind us up to probably 60 00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:25,840 halfway up this bridge here, maybe a little more. Um so we've gotten almost 3 61 00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:32,000 ft of water back. I mean, you can see the water line in some of these. Um, and 62 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:36,639 I should have taken more photos, but uh, these were 63 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,840 this was taken on Monday, so this was a couple days after. Um, it didn't seem 64 00:07:38,639 --> 00:07:45,120 like there was a crazy amount of activity to cover it back up, but even 65 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:50,880 so, um, the inundation has kind of been relieved. Um, and yeah, it was uh, 66 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:55,759 interesting to see them mucking about and pulling all that all that debris 67 00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:00,160 out. blasting it with a hose was actually 68 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:09,280 pretty pretty um >> effective, I'd say. Yeah. Um let's see. 69 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:13,520 » Went and just before this meeting and 70 00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:18,160 I hadn't seen the before picture and so it was pretty clear that the water was 71 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:22,800 flowing was this big. >> But but the thing that amazed me was 72 00:08:19,919 --> 00:08:28,000 there was this even this huge beaver dam just a little further up there. It's 73 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:32,719 gigantic and it's been there for a long time because brickless grass and 74 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:36,800 everything growing top of it >> and apparently they felt the need to 75 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:43,240 build another one right there at the bridge just to happen. 76 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,240 It's like 77 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:47,680 you know it's their nature. >> Yeah. 78 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:54,800 and yeah, >> you know, reservoir behind the big dam, 79 00:08:53,360 --> 00:09:00,320 but that's not enough. >> No, they just got to they got to stay 80 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:04,720 busy. Um, all right. And then over at Hill Road on Paddock Estates property, 81 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,560 um, we know last Thursday, like I said, emergency meeting. We had the beaver 82 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:12,399 permit application there for that meeting and Jim indicated by then that 83 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:16,720 he would be signing it the following day. This is what we received from Jim 84 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:20,959 the following day. Um purpose of breaching the dam, not the removal, not 85 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:26,160 the modification of the beaver dam or the flow device. 86 00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:32,480 Um so he signed that that is in effect until 6 days from now. Um but it seems 87 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,880 like most if not all of the work has been done. This is what we had signed 88 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:42,399 and reviewed in the meeting last Thursday. That was easy to get through. 89 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:48,080 And then this is the email chain. And I'll go down to the bottom where I 90 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:53,839 communicate with Scott and ask him on Monday if he completed the work. He 91 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:57,920 said, "We got two dams, two and three done, but hope to go back for one 92 00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:03,279 tomorrow. One being that large one, the most upstream closest to Hill Road." Um, 93 00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:06,720 and then I asked again for an update. He said, "The dams were all breached 94 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,959 yesterday. There was some very strong water flow yesterday. Today the flows 95 00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:16,000 seem to have diminished. and I will be out there tomorrow um at Paddock to look 96 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:20,560 at how much their water level has changed in their fire pond. And um I'll 97 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:26,000 probably try to bring Chief Klin out there to see if anything else needs to 98 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:30,079 be done um in the time being. But >> so it was so um did Scott take any 99 00:10:28,959 --> 00:10:34,160 photos by any chance? >> Uh he did not send any photos. No, I 100 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:38,320 probably could have asked him for those, but uh I will be I'll have some photos 101 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,519 for our next meeting because I'll be out there uh tomorrow. 102 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:53,040 And that's all I have for Beaver Damps. >> Oh, thanks for the update. 103 00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:58,640 » No problem. We're 2 minutes off from I'll save the planners report cuz that 104 00:10:54,959 --> 00:11:05,440 one is a bit uh it's a bit dense. Um this places associates letter is pretty 105 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:11,760 self-explanatory, a bit retroactive. Uh this is the letter that um Bill Murray 106 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:17,200 who was here at our last meeting or I guess second to last meeting um 107 00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:25,360 wrote this letter about the Hagerbridge sent it to Mike John's on uh August 24th 108 00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:30,720 and um action was taken last week on that. See if we have anything else 109 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:39,440 that's easy. Um, yes, Dave Barnett had emailed Scott uh yesterday asking um 110 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:44,800 asking if if we can go out to the site um sometime early next week to look at 111 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:50,000 the work that will be done. Um I know that about two meetings ago, maybe three 112 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:55,120 meetings ago now, we had spoken with Scott. He said end of August, but 113 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:59,279 definitely September. Um so looking like that work should pick up any day now. 114 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,600 hopefully next week. Um >> Patch Hill. 115 00:11:59,839 --> 00:12:08,720 » That's at Patch Hill. Yes, that's with our grant. Um 116 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:14,320 yeah, and then we can It is 7:45. We can either hold this last piece cuz 117 00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:18,720 this is a request for the commission. Um yeah, let's talk about that. 118 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:23,519 » All right, perfect. So, I'll leave that one piece of correspondence in the 119 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:28,079 planner's report for after. But as of now, it is 7:45. So, I'll let you read 120 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,880 that, Dave, and we can get this. >> Our speed is off the 121 00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:36,000 » Yes. Thank you, Steve. >> Yes. Thank you, Steve. 122 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:39,560 » Okay. file for 22 123 00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:50,959 by public hearing will be held on September 2nd, 2026 at 7:45 p.m. for the 124 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:56,639 Boxboro Conservation Commission to consider notice of intent filed by Oxbow 125 00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:03,839 Associates, Inc. on behalf of the owner at Element Materials Technology Og 126 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:09,880 Group. The property is located at 1146 Massachusetts Avenue's map 13-018-0000. 127 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:21,360 Project description installation of a concrete stab for equipment. This public 128 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:26,480 hearing will be held over town hall at 29 mil road and provided Zoom video 129 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:33,200 conferencing. All details be made available on the conservation commission 130 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:39,160 open and posted a minimum of 48 hours prior to the meeting on the town website 131 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,160 www.boxthro-mass.gov. 132 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:47,079 Contact conservation commission office at 978-2641722 133 00:13:47,519 --> 00:13:55,279 if there are questions. I'm going to >> So just just a quick question first. So, 134 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:59,120 do we have do we have any hard copies of the actual notice of intent? 135 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:06,000 » Uh, yes. I have the reviewer's copy and I have um I can pass this along to 136 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:11,519 Steve, but I also have this and I can flip through it on the uh it was 60 137 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,639 pages long, so I didn't want to print out four different copies. 138 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,160 » Ladies and gentlemen, 139 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:27,480 » can everybody hear me? for something that I think could have been an RDA. But 140 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,480 anyway, 141 00:14:28,079 --> 00:14:35,199 » so what was your >> Okay. Well, 142 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:39,680 well, well, as far as that goes, uh why don't you walk us through the project? 143 00:14:37,199 --> 00:14:46,399 » So, uh I'm Ron Stros from Associates representing um Elements Material 144 00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:51,600 Technology. Um basically, this facility is a testing facility for 145 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:55,519 a bunch of equipment. um and they subject some of the material that they 146 00:14:53,600 --> 00:15:00,399 bring in there to extreme temperatures. So they have these gigantic machines 147 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:08,560 outside and I'm going to get this Ron and I Ron's on the call. Um he's the 148 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:12,160 kind of supervisor there, but um these these big machines that kind of either 149 00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:15,839 extreme put these material through extreme colds or extreme hot. I don't 150 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:20,880 remember exactly which one was, but there's two chiller 151 00:15:19,199 --> 00:15:26,240 giant pieces of equipment that are on the outside which are marked in that red 152 00:15:22,959 --> 00:15:31,839 box top of the page and they're about two stories tall and basically they are 153 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:37,120 fed with one of these wells that are also on the top of the page. It's fed 154 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:42,639 with water. Basically, it takes I think the heat from outside kind of cools down 155 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:48,079 whatever it's getting is heated in there. Um or it's the opposite way. I'm 156 00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:53,519 not really sure. And um 157 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:57,360 basically the testing equipment kind of cools down or heats up to extreme 158 00:15:55,279 --> 00:16:00,480 extreme temperatures and it kind of put these materials through a whole bunch of 159 00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:07,600 tests, see what their breaking point is and bending material. 160 00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:14,079 Um, these two gigantic chillers are outside. Um, they're on the the west 161 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:19,920 side of the building. They are about at least 25 years old. Uh, so you go to 162 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:24,079 jump to the photos. >> Can Can everybody hear me? 163 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:27,519 » You can kind get an image of it, but they're sitting on a giant on another 164 00:16:26,399 --> 00:16:29,199 concrete pad. >> Yeah. From the cover. 165 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,680 » Yep. >> Yep. 166 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:40,160 And basically the idea is that we're going to replace these machines with a 167 00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:44,800 newer machine um that's kind of a closed loop system. So right now this is takes 168 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:51,759 water from the well. It runs it through both of these chillers 169 00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:55,680 and then water either gets recirculated but some of it spills out the side. And 170 00:16:53,759 --> 00:17:04,240 actually in this photo, you can see the hose right here that some of the water 171 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:09,760 drains out from and the wetlands. Here's my wetland flag. It drains onto a piece 172 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,720 of plywood and then kind of drains into the wetland. 173 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:16,720 » So, is that is that by design or is that >> No, I don't think it's by design. I 174 00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:23,439 think it's cuz Brian had told me at one point um he had turned the water off to 175 00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:26,880 try and stop this flow and the whole machine was down for the entire day 176 00:17:24,959 --> 00:17:32,720 while refilled with water for whatever reason it's either leaking or you know 177 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:37,120 needs to be half it needs to be filled to a certain level I think and as soon 178 00:17:35,120 --> 00:17:42,400 as you don't aren't filling it constantly it doesn't work 179 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,520 » well it is old. And so, oh, Ron put his hand up. 180 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,520 » Ron put his hand up. >> Better explanation. 181 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:53,600 » Good morning. Uh, good evening. >> Hear me? 182 00:17:50,880 --> 00:18:02,679 » I'm I think I'm maybe having trouble hearing him. Let's make sure that 183 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,679 There we go. Hold on, Ron. Go ahead. 184 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:10,480 » Yeah, muted. >> I think I've been having 185 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,960 » Okay. Can Good evening. Can you hear me now? 186 00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:15,280 » There we go. We can. Yeah, I think it was on. 187 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:18,640 » All right. I'm up here in the mountains. Sometimes the reception's not the 188 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,799 greatest. Ronald Bernetti, Element Chief 189 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:28,919 Electrician. Ron's doing a great job explaining that. So, 190 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,919 nice job, Ron. 191 00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:34,320 » All right. I'll uh I'll I'll sit tight and listen. If you have any questions, 192 00:18:32,799 --> 00:18:39,039 uh I'll be more than happy to answer them. 193 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,039 » So, yes, I was doing. Okay. 194 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:45,600 So, this these machines are going to be replaced. There's going to be a closed 195 00:18:43,679 --> 00:18:50,720 loop system that's going to be put in on another concrete pad that's going to 196 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:54,720 it's going to be a little bit offset from this. Um, we're going to move it 197 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:59,600 further away from the wetland, but it's the idea is to have both systems running 198 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:04,080 concurrently so there's not a whole bunch of downtime. 199 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:08,640 um while one piece gets removed and then the other one comes in the concrete has 200 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,520 to set and then the machine has to be brought in and set up and that's 201 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,960 multiple days of downturn >> but that's only temporary right 202 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,480 » that would have been temporary so the idea is that yeah right now they're both 203 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:25,520 so the new one's going to get installed first the m the the new conx box that it 204 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:29,039 comes in and the the chillers are going to be 205 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:34,400 the concrete pad's going to be built on the blue spot The new conic box will be 206 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:39,520 put installed. The piping will be installed hooked up where it needs to be 207 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:43,679 and then where the existing chillers are in the red box will be decommissioned 208 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:49,200 and removed and the concrete pad will be recouped. Correct. 209 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:53,679 » So the new pad is smaller than the existing pad. So and we're moving it 210 00:19:51,600 --> 00:20:01,200 further away from the well. So now we've moved it outside the 25 ft bumper where 211 00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:06,080 it was at 7 ft. Um, and it's decreasing in size about 30 square ft. Oops, not a 212 00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:13,039 ton, but it is a decreasing impervious inside the buffer zone. Um, and it's 213 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:17,840 kind of necessary for this location just where it enters into the building. You 214 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:24,559 know, we considered putting it closer, but those other HVAC things are in the 215 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:28,799 way. Um, and so this is kind of the best spot for it. and the other one was going 216 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:33,760 to be removed. Um, we proposed erosion control along the wetland line and up 217 00:20:31,919 --> 00:20:40,400 along the property line, although I don't think that'll be super necessary 218 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:45,039 on the up to the property line. Um, but it is going to the concrete pad is going 219 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:53,679 to support the large weight. It's I think was 60,000 lbs. So, there's it's 220 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:57,280 going to be significant pad um and reinforced and everything. So, and 221 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:02,480 they're looking to try and get it in before 222 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:07,840 » we're the general the the GC we're hoping to have the pad poured and cured 223 00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:13,679 by the end of September, early October. A crane will set to ConX box. Take about 224 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:18,640 a month of piping within electrical. We do a two-day shutdown. we change over 225 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:23,919 and then we have a demo crew uh going to demo the existing towers going to go 226 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:28,799 away >> and that pretty much covers it. That's 227 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:34,159 it's a pretty small project in the overall scope of things. Um but it does 228 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:39,360 reduce impervious in the bubble dome. It moves it the impervious further away 229 00:21:36,159 --> 00:21:44,799 from the wetland line and it stops those points discharge which has been draining 230 00:21:41,679 --> 00:21:51,280 into the wetland for 20 years. And and the reason for that we have such 231 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:57,440 a demand a load heat load that uh if we turn the water makeup off um overnight 232 00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:02,240 it'll they uh just evaporates. So we have to have a full-time water makeup. 233 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:06,640 Um with the closed loop system we have a float in there so the water will just 234 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:11,120 turn on and off when as needed. So right now we've have the water full on or full 235 00:22:08,799 --> 00:22:17,320 off and that's our only option. So that'll we have an improvement 236 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,320 being made. 237 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:25,360 » Is there any way you could move the new mechanical room further away from the 238 00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:29,840 wetland? >> Uh we could what would you like to see 239 00:22:27,679 --> 00:22:34,720 further further towards the front of the building 240 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:41,919 which would be east I guess. Uh trying to look at the north south 241 00:22:37,679 --> 00:22:44,720 technically north. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. So, 242 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:50,799 » so right now we have it 11 feet off the property line. Um, and we we we were 243 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:55,200 going to to put it there for the piping um for accessibility for the piping and 244 00:22:53,280 --> 00:23:01,039 the electrical. It's all going to go overhead. 245 00:22:57,919 --> 00:23:05,120 » That's why it was laid out that way. >> But it is still being moved what? 246 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,600 Another 10 ft 10 ft more away from the west at least. 247 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,440 » Yeah. Something. >> Yeah. Right now it's all Yes. Correct. 248 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:18,039 » There's a setback for edge of properties, too. 249 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:25,520 » Ian got it on that one because we had it set. We had it set closer and we 250 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:32,320 actually moved it off though the time step back. Uh 251 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:34,640 if they do one, you guys have to file with another board. Yeah. 252 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:40,559 » Yeah. >> But you probably do need a building. 253 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:45,200 » Oh, certainly. Yeah. Yes, I'll we have I hired a general contractor to oversee it 254 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:48,200 and he's uh he'll be pulling all the permits. 255 00:23:54,159 --> 00:24:02,400 » Yeah. one. Yeah, I'm just considering it's uh I'm I'm curious about the the 256 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:05,400 the killer situation, but that is probably 257 00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:14,640 » Yeah, was a technology from 258 00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:19,840 previous slide. Uh but that's okay. I don't think it's gaining to this. So, 259 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:23,440 just to just to to summarize, you you've moved it back. 260 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:28,720 where out of the 25 ft buffer cell which you 261 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:34,880 are still within the the larger buffer cell. This is project which could not be 262 00:24:31,279 --> 00:24:41,279 built fresh today because of its >> proximity to the wetlands. Right. So 263 00:24:36,799 --> 00:24:46,320 this is a pre-existing non-conformant property and what we're doing here which 264 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:50,159 was slightly provy. >> Yes. Okay. So, 265 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:56,559 » and they're outdated >> and there's not much more you can do 266 00:24:52,480 --> 00:25:00,400 beyond that. And what I've heard here is you were somewhat constrained by its 267 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:05,520 location. Uh, it has to be near the existing pipe so that you could just 268 00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:08,559 replace the feed and not have to do substantial amount of rework inside the 269 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,880 facility. >> That's great. 270 00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:16,799 » Correct. um boxes. The HBAC boxes are not part of 271 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:22,400 its work, but they also part of the constraints for why it is placed where 272 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:25,679 it is. So, not closer to the to the structure. 273 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:30,480 » Well, I see a well there is >> Yeah, the well's not 274 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:34,720 » correct. I wanted to leave leave as electrical 110.6 leaving working 275 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:39,600 clearances around all the equipment. That's why it was proposed there for for 276 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:44,080 the well working clearances and the HVAC working clearances. 277 00:25:41,279 --> 00:25:49,919 » And is the uh I don't see like gradient lines here. I think I heard in the 278 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:53,039 narrative that it's relatively flat area. 279 00:25:50,559 --> 00:25:59,279 » Yeah. Don't there are grading lines. I think uh I think that dotted this dotted 280 00:25:56,799 --> 00:26:02,440 line is I think that was a grading line. It's always 281 00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:10,000 » this isn't 998 that's in 989. So that's only one foot difference. Okay. Got him 282 00:26:08,159 --> 00:26:17,679 there. So there's so it is pretty flush. So there's limited risk of of runoff 283 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:22,000 from the construction site into zone but you're going to handle that as I recall 284 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:26,559 from the NOI that you're going to put in the WS the WS. 285 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:29,039 » That's yeah that's the heavy dotted uh black line. 286 00:26:27,279 --> 00:26:34,600 » Okay. Can you tell us what the process is to 287 00:26:31,039 --> 00:26:34,600 go on the mechanical? 288 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:43,760 » Say again. I uh I I missed that. I'm sorry. Say again. 289 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:48,000 » The mechanical pro can you describe what the mechanical processes are in the 290 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:54,000 mechanical room? >> Yes. So the mechanical room just right 291 00:26:49,919 --> 00:26:58,400 now houses uh uh two pumps. We have two sides of the building. We have a 292 00:26:55,360 --> 00:27:03,919 dynamics which are shaker tables and an environmental. And right now inside the 293 00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:10,159 mechanical room be two pumps in in inside of our existing pump room. The 294 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:16,400 new conx conx box is going to house um two pumps, a um reservoir, and then two 295 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:21,679 towers on top of the conx box. So that'll all be inside of that box. And 296 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:26,640 we will be >> correct. 297 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:31,360 » It's all it's all selfont. It's all self-contained inside the box. 298 00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:36,559 » So So what fluids are you pumping? >> Uh water. So So So the two cooling 299 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:42,880 towers just water. All of our equipment inside have heat exchangers. uh closed 300 00:27:39,279 --> 00:27:46,960 loop, a supply and a return, and it just uh flows through a heat exchanger and 301 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,919 whisks away all the heat, pulls it back to the cooling tower, and the fans on 302 00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:53,840 the tower cool it and it just goes around and around and around. 303 00:27:51,919 --> 00:28:00,159 » So that's So it's basically just cooling towers, an evaporating cooling tower, 304 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:06,000 » not an ethylene glycol. >> No, no, no, sir. Um it it's all uh it's 305 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:10,000 going to be water and we have there's heaters. We have there's heaters being 306 00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:14,159 installed. So for the winter time, that's what we have now is water and we 307 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:19,440 have submersible heaters. So it' all be heated. 308 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:26,080 » So th those were actually my questions. So So just just to make sure I 309 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:30,080 understand. So So the um the uh cooling the new cooling towers, which get 310 00:28:27,919 --> 00:28:35,200 there'll be two of them, two new ones, right? 311 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:37,120 » Correct. Um and and two um pumps, heat exchange pumps. 312 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:43,600 » Correct. >> Um and and then and then is the the ConX 313 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:48,640 box as you've described it. Is that is that then something separate? 314 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:53,679 » Yes. It's like a shipping container. Um something you would see on a ship and 315 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:59,120 and and process cooling. Um something that they have designed. They put these 316 00:28:56,399 --> 00:29:04,399 two cooling towers on top of the box structurally engineered and uh it's like 317 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:08,799 a self-contained unit. It's going to come with a crane conx box, two towers 318 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:13,600 on top and all the associated equipment would be inside the box. It's pretty 319 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:18,480 » okay. And then >> and so that's so so that's that's all 320 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:21,039 that's all in a self-contained unit which I guess you're calling the 321 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,320 mechanical room. >> Exactly. Yeah, we're going to call 322 00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:27,120 » which which then just gets lowered down by the crane. 323 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:31,360 » Correct. They're going to they're going to hoist it over. Um, right now we have 324 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:35,440 a mechanical room where the pumps are. That's all going to go away. It's now 325 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:40,240 going to be in the self-contained box and we are we are installing uh spoke 326 00:29:38,799 --> 00:29:46,080 with the fire department and we'll be putting fire alarm in there as well. 327 00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:50,799 » So, uh, and what kind of a subbase does this uh this box go on? There must be 328 00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:53,919 some sort of preparation, initial preparation of the ground that needs to 329 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:59,279 be done. >> I hired a general contractor who has a 330 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:04,799 structural engineer. Um, we gave him the dimensions, the weights of the equipment 331 00:30:02,159 --> 00:30:11,200 and uh that was being laid out by a structural engineer. So he would have 332 00:30:07,039 --> 00:30:18,080 all that u for the for the permits. >> So So that so um that plan will have to 333 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:24,159 be submitted for the building permit. Um and and and and I and I would say that 334 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:28,480 that should be a condition um in the in the order conditions that the commission 335 00:30:25,919 --> 00:30:33,919 get a copy of that as well. >> That's certainly reasonable to do. Yes. 336 00:30:31,039 --> 00:30:37,200 And and so and the soil that you remove from there. So you're going to have to 337 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:42,399 do a lot of you're going to remove a lot >> so usually we take the top soil out then 338 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,399 what happens to that instead of concern oursight 339 00:30:47,039 --> 00:30:52,799 » yeah we just put a condition that says remove it off site 340 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:56,799 » but you know it sounds like maybe there's not going to have to they're not 341 00:30:54,159 --> 00:30:59,760 going to have to go too deep but I I think there's going to have to be 342 00:30:57,919 --> 00:31:03,760 something will have to be put in as a subbase 343 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:07,760 » fill in the word >> and And what I'll do is I'll speak to 344 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:12,320 the general contractor tomorrow who's going to be in charge of the uh the site 345 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:16,320 work in the concrete and I'll let him know that when he's pays a visit to the 346 00:31:14,159 --> 00:31:20,000 building department to have all that uh have all that paperwork and drawings 347 00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:23,520 available. >> Yeah, they're definitely going to want 348 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:28,799 plans. No doubt about that. >> Not a problem. 349 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:33,840 » The piping overhead so not to you won't have to trench, 350 00:31:29,919 --> 00:31:35,520 » right? The only grounds you're going to start with that. 351 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:41,200 » That's correct. >> Yep. And there was no the existing bad. 352 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:43,679 » No. Leave a hole in >> for the when removing the existing one. 353 00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:49,519 » Yeah. >> Now I think I think in the notice we 354 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,480 said we put long in it and receat it. >> Yeah. 355 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,399 » Yes. >> And we're going to let the area behind 356 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:58,960 the box, you know, between the well and the new box kind of reveate at least a 357 00:31:57,279 --> 00:32:06,080 little bit thicker. probably have to do some clearance around the existing box. 358 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:12,159 Um but right now there's probably one foot maybe two feet of clearance uh that 359 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:17,600 gets mowed. So if we can extend that by anything um it's going to be better 360 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:21,720 condition than it is right now. >> Yes. A big improvement. 361 00:32:23,519 --> 00:32:30,399 » Yeah. Because because right now right on the corner of the red 362 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:33,399 box. There's a there's a hose that leaks on 363 00:32:38,399 --> 00:32:43,039 » basically where all those arrows go. That's kind of the exact point where it 364 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,840 it drains in. >> Yeah. 365 00:32:43,519 --> 00:32:52,399 » And then it goes into a J, which blows the picture. The pictures for 366 00:32:48,159 --> 00:32:58,480 » Yeah. We're sure. >> Um I have just one more question. So it 367 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:02,399 says the covered plywood enclosures. What what are those? 368 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:10,320 » So underneath Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Behind the existing towers uh behind the towers 369 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:15,440 and next to the building are um are plywood little structures that house all 370 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:21,840 the fittings, the plumbing, um the pipes, the supply and return. And those 371 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:24,960 are heat heat tape heat trace wrapped. Um you really can't see it from there 372 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:31,600 which but yeah so that's so underneath it. So 373 00:33:27,679 --> 00:33:34,960 below that uh right on that base we have a supply and return 374 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:38,640 » and yeah there's a there's a picture in 375 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:45,200 there that shows the viral sitting. >> So so those are okay. So those are like 376 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:50,159 penetration swing the shell. >> Exactly. The penetration they're just 377 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:56,320 fittings. Uh there there's couple one T and some elbows and uh uh two valves for 378 00:33:53,600 --> 00:34:00,080 shutting the water off. Um and and it has all heat trace around it. So that'll 379 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:04,559 all be going away as well. >> Yeah. 380 00:34:01,679 --> 00:34:10,240 » Those are those huts there are for our um our shaker tables are all air cooled 381 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:15,679 and those are blowers that that pull air across a shaker table so they don't heat 382 00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:18,879 up. That's what those are. But but those those plywood structures can't be 383 00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:22,560 permanent, >> are they? 384 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:28,480 » No, those are permanent. Yes, because inside of there are are 20 385 00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:34,079 horsepower motors with blowers that pull air across the shaker tables. We have um 386 00:34:32,079 --> 00:34:39,200 we have eight shaker tables inside that building, vibration tables, and they're 387 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:44,800 all air cooled. So without that, that the equipment would wouldn't run. Yep. 388 00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:49,919 So, so you have no plans to replace the plywood with anything a little bit more 389 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,760 » Yeah. permanent you might say. >> Uh with those before there was nothing 390 00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:00,119 over the enclosure. A couple years ago they had those built. So those are only 391 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,119 about two years old 392 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:07,359 » which that's which that is a separate issue. Those that's the shaker tables 393 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:11,599 blower motors which is separate from the cooling towers. 394 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:18,320 » Yeah. I don't think >> so. So So then, so then Okay. So let me 395 00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:25,040 just ask that. So prior to that, were the were the pipes just exposed outside 396 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:31,200 of the building? And and then and and and that was built some time ago. And 397 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:35,920 then as a perhaps more recent 398 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:39,760 uh modification a structure was placed around them to 399 00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:43,680 give them more protection from the elements. Is that sort of that's what's 400 00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:50,079 going on here right? >> Correct. So I started there 16 years ago 401 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:54,560 and in the eight vibration tables um I just just a little lean to over it 402 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,680 without a whole lot of structure or protection for the motors and the 403 00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:03,680 blowers. So, those were those were built a few 404 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:09,920 years ago to um give the motors and blowers some protection, 405 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:14,720 » keep it out of the elements. >> And 406 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:22,800 someone might have asked the question, was was that work done 407 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:27,920 under the purview of the building permit? 408 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:32,960 Is I I don't even burns here. But boy, that just seems really odd to have this 409 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:38,880 collection of plywood structures which really do not look to give the same fit 410 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:43,520 finish as the uh exterior of the building. 411 00:36:41,839 --> 00:36:48,880 Correct there. It's uh it's uh aluminum siding. 412 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:53,240 It's fiberglass sighting actually. Vertical vi fiberglass sighting. 413 00:36:53,839 --> 00:37:01,599 » Right. I mean that is uh I guess a point of order is that outside the scope of 414 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:07,960 this NOI to approach this >> corre correct this is yes 415 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,960 » okay 416 00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:19,440 your opinion I was asking that of the uh of the other uh con 417 00:37:15,119 --> 00:37:24,720 » Oh okay sorry it's but I understand your position on 418 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:28,160 » you know I um I I I I would agree it is outside the scope. However, that doesn't 419 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:32,000 mean the commission can't request if if there are concerns. I you know there 420 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:37,440 wasn't a filing when that work was done. Um so I mean there there might be a 421 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:41,680 legitimate concern um that I mean just thinking you know is is 422 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:47,920 » the buffer then they're very close to the wetlands and and it looks to me like 423 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:52,800 there would be rain and snow melt runoff um off of those roofs, you know, going 424 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:58,480 right toward the wetland. Doesn't look like there's an erosion problem in this 425 00:37:55,359 --> 00:38:03,280 photo, but you know there would you have to take a closer look at it. 426 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:07,599 » There's a gravel axis that rubs. >> Oh, that's gravel. That's gravel. 427 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:12,560 » I think it's probably for >> Yes. Yeah. It's gravel. 428 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:17,760 » Yeah. So, if it's if there's already gravel there, you know, the drainage is 429 00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:22,880 probably not a concern. Um, but I mean, that's certainly a legitimate point to 430 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,880 bring up. 431 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:33,599 to see it. Okay. So, I mean all So, what's the what's the the right 432 00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:40,320 here? So, it's outside of this in take it down to the premises building. 433 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:45,280 » And we could certainly ask that Ian maybe go back there and take a look at 434 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:48,560 it if he sees anything of concern. >> Um, he could certainly let us know and 435 00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:54,240 then and then we could, you know, deal with it from there. I mean, it's there's 436 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:57,839 nothing jumping out at me just by looking at the photo, but yeah, it's 437 00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:01,040 just it's just a photo. And there probably should have been Yeah. some 438 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:04,640 contact made with this commission before that was done at least to say, "Do we 439 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,880 need to file?" >> Yeah. Right. 440 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,280 » It's just it's clearly inside. 441 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:24,760 » It's outside. It's inside the 50ft buffer zone. Oh, it's closer than that. 442 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,760 It's within the 25. 443 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,960 » The green is the theation. 444 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:39,119 » So, that seems like a good thing. It's just 445 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:43,440 a field inspection just letting you know to 446 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:48,800 but uh you have answered all the questions on it. 447 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:52,480 » Were the blowers always there? Yes, sir. They were always there. Correct. They've 448 00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:58,960 been there. I think the building's been um they element has been there for 30 38 449 00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:02,200 years and the blowers have always been there. Correct. 450 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:14,560 » Well, I I don't have any more questions at this time. So then I guess so what's 451 00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:20,160 the the next step here would be we would get an email report for Vienna on this 452 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:25,680 findings there and then we would consider this I guess it's my fault to 453 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:31,520 be to write the conditions 454 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:34,640 for this for a future consult. Yeah, that's correct. And our next 455 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:38,400 meeting, I believe, is scheduled for the 16th. 456 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:45,839 Um, we can probably close out then and um 457 00:40:43,119 --> 00:40:51,839 have those order the conditions order of conditions drafted for that meeting. 458 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:57,760 » Um, so when you when when you talk about Ian's findings, what what are you 459 00:40:53,440 --> 00:41:03,599 referring to? uh on if the if there's anything objectionable about the 460 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:07,920 conditions of the bywood outfield. >> Yeah, I don't I don't I don't think we 461 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,359 need to link that. >> Um 462 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,880 » keep that separate. >> Have you have you by any chance done a 463 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:17,839 site visit to look at >> No, not those. 464 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:22,240 » Um I I mean I don't know that we really need him to do that at least not at this 465 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:26,960 point. But I don't know how the rest of you feel. 466 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:33,280 » Well, we probably should have a look at them just to do due diligence. 467 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:36,319 » Yeah, I don't I don't disagree, but I mean does do it does that need to be 468 00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:40,880 done at this point? >> Well, okay. So, that's not going to stop 469 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:49,280 me from working on work conditions. However, so for instance, BM finds 470 00:41:44,319 --> 00:41:52,480 evidence of erosion runoff, >> right? Um 471 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:58,000 » that that might be a >> Yeah, I again that's I think that's a 472 00:41:54,240 --> 00:42:02,560 separate process. Um I mean I guess theoretically we put we could put that 473 00:41:59,839 --> 00:42:04,880 as a condition in this order, but I I don't think that's the best way to do 474 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:10,480 it. >> Okay. Well, like I said, this it's uh 475 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:17,760 it's it certainly is an interesting discovery. Uh and so I definitely 476 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:22,079 because I can I can see a reason for not making it an impediment to going forward 477 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:26,480 with this. It's it's another pre-existing condition has nothing to do 478 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:30,400 with your right. So linking so making an impediment to 479 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,720 that is >> is out of scope. 480 00:42:31,359 --> 00:42:37,680 » I mean we we should we should have been contacted. No doubt about that. But but 481 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:41,119 but we weren't and again I'm not seeing anything obvious in this photo that 482 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:46,079 there's a problem but I mean yeah we could ask Ian to take a look at it you 483 00:42:43,359 --> 00:42:51,760 know at some point and you know let us yeah let us know his findings. Um we can 484 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:56,400 I think we should also talk a little bit right now about you know some of the 485 00:42:53,839 --> 00:43:01,520 conditions to to put in. I have some ideas about that. 486 00:42:59,119 --> 00:43:06,960 So, uh, I'm all ears. >> Okay. So, I think, um, as you sort of 487 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:10,640 touched on earlier, um, I think there should definitely should be a condition 488 00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:16,480 in there that, um, and maybe this maybe this isn't the 489 00:43:13,839 --> 00:43:21,680 right term, but once, but I'll just call it the architectural plans. I think we 490 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:25,200 should there needs to be a condition in there that we get a copy of that. You 491 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:30,640 know, the same thing that's submitted to the building department. Uh, I think I 492 00:43:28,079 --> 00:43:36,560 think that that should um yeah, also include the plans for the subbase and 493 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:42,000 that probably and maybe it makes the most sense for that to come from the 494 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:48,720 contractor. Um, you know, we'll certainly leave that up to the 495 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:57,280 applicant. Um, another another thing I'm wondering is do we do and speaking of 496 00:43:53,200 --> 00:44:02,160 roof runoff, do do we want to do put anything in the plans in the 497 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:08,640 architectural plans to deal to deal with with that for this this new building? Uh 498 00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:14,000 s certainly I don't think it would be very difficult to just put a a crush 499 00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:20,960 stone via the trench that goes around the perimeter of the base. Um and I 500 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:28,400 don't I don't I don't know. So so so Ron um Ron Ron off Ron online. Okay. 501 00:44:25,839 --> 00:44:32,000 » So So what is what is the shape of the roof? Is is the roof flat? 502 00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:35,760 » Yeah. >> I'm referring to the 503 00:44:33,359 --> 00:44:39,839 » the ConX box. Yes. >> Yes. Yes. It is flat roof. 504 00:44:38,079 --> 00:44:46,319 » Flat roof. But it has the chillers on top so they wouldn't just run off. 505 00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:52,720 » Yeah. >> No. Yeah. I can't. 506 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:55,119 » Do you mind if I jump through that? >> Yeah. 507 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:59,680 » I think I put in there. >> It's probably a metal. Yeah. Well, the 508 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:02,480 comics box metal. >> Yes, it's steel. 509 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:09,560 Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. 510 00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:15,920 » Is it a like sketch or something? >> Yeah, it's like a 511 00:45:15,359 --> 00:45:20,160 kit. >> Uh, is it on the plan itself? 512 00:45:19,119 --> 00:45:24,839 » No. >> Like a detail engineering detail? 513 00:45:21,839 --> 00:45:24,839 » Yeah. 514 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:33,599 think maybe I didn't because I thought it might be 515 00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:37,720 » I could uh I can run one over tomorrow. I have I have photo. 516 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:46,079 » Yeah. So, so that conx right that's an abbreviation for what? 517 00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:50,560 » Uh that's a very good question. I just know it's a 518 00:45:47,839 --> 00:45:55,920 » it's a manufacturer they for conx. I when I looked up ConX uh like container 519 00:45:53,680 --> 00:46:00,560 I believe that's the shipping container and you're saying that something's 520 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:04,800 within it. Um I mean I looked it up I' I'd show it here but I don't think we 521 00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:09,319 need to. It's literally all that came up where shipping containers. Um 522 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:24,240 » inside the pot. >> Yeah. Basically those two 523 00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:29,040 sticking out from the top. So it's almost two identical 524 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:33,359 » and chillers I think is is being generous with they're just kind of like 525 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:39,240 changes. >> Yeah. Are they the same um like model 526 00:46:36,240 --> 00:46:39,240 too? 527 00:46:39,359 --> 00:46:45,920 » Negative. Those are those that you're we see on the photo I we don't know what 528 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:50,400 those are. There's no documentation make a model. I don't know. I don't know 529 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:55,040 where they got those. >> So I I tried to find out, but anybody 530 00:46:52,560 --> 00:47:00,319 that would have known um whoever put those in there 30 something years ago, 531 00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:05,280 they're long gone now and nobody has any information. 532 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:12,000 Well, my what what I'm concerned about what I'm asking about is is there is I 533 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:18,160 mean rain falling on this thing has got to go somewhere. I mean so it I would 534 00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:25,040 think it would run off the edge whether the roof is um tilted or not. Um and and 535 00:47:23,119 --> 00:47:29,760 and I'm wondering just wondering thinking um 536 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:35,599 you know does it does it make sense to put something uh lining the perimeter 537 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:39,119 underneath the the drip? I don't know if there's like there's a drip edge or 538 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:43,920 anything like that. Um I mean it doesn't have to be very complicated, you know. I 539 00:47:41,119 --> 00:47:49,200 think just maybe a foot wide, you know, crushed down filled trench would do the 540 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:51,599 do the trick. But but but maybe maybe you know if we could get more 541 00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:56,880 information on that from the manufacturer or the contractor maybe 542 00:47:54,160 --> 00:48:01,599 maybe they'll say you know that's not going to be a problem. I mean 543 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:05,839 » yeah not a problem. I'll uh the general contractor is going to oversee all 544 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:11,599 construction. He has all the prints so he can uh I'll let him bring that up and 545 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:17,000 discuss that best course of >> the sketch of 546 00:48:13,599 --> 00:48:17,000 » it came from 547 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:21,240 you know >> sounds good 548 00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:30,800 » it looks like a shipping container and then the it looks like a business 549 00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:36,480 shipping container it looks like that so so yeah to 550 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:41,359 that. So some >> yeah and I I think that's a reasonable 551 00:48:39,359 --> 00:48:46,000 request. I think the general contract would probably be happy to have the 552 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:50,000 extra space around it initially working and it would provide to the dirt 553 00:48:48,079 --> 00:48:54,880 northern part and you probably thought it does need to 554 00:48:53,359 --> 00:49:00,920 meet the storm water standards. So actually that'll help me little 555 00:49:03,359 --> 00:49:13,839 » um then then another thing that I think should go in their condition for a a 556 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:20,720 detailed chronological work sequence um for for both the the installation of 557 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:27,720 the new um structure and removal of the the 558 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,720 as well. 559 00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:33,520 » Right. So you so you gave us a verbal narrative, but we can Yeah, we provide 560 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:37,200 that direction >> and that probably should I would think 561 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:41,200 again should come from the contractor because they're the ones that are going 562 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:47,040 to be, you know, the best vers in that know exactly what they're doing 563 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:52,000 » and and what you what you said all makes sense, right? Just minimize the 564 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:56,960 downtime. We build new system, get it all checked out, 565 00:49:53,280 --> 00:50:01,200 » and get it running and then decomp. >> Yeah, we're hoping for like a two-day 566 00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:06,079 shutdown just to do a quick changeover. 567 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:14,160 » Then then I would I would also put in there that that the corners of the uh 568 00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:20,640 the new structure be staked prior to the start of any excavation. 569 00:50:17,599 --> 00:50:27,440 And I guess I ideally I'd like to have Ian go out and just double check for 570 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:27,440 them if he's able to do that. 571 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:43,920 And then I don't I I don't think it would be um unreasonable for you to 572 00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:48,880 request the building department check with you first before they actually 573 00:50:46,079 --> 00:50:52,960 issue the permit, you know, whether all of the the preconstruction requirements 574 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:56,359 have been satisfied. Absolutely. The order of conditions. 575 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:09,920 And then I think just the other one was the removal of the excavated soil off 576 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:12,559 site. >> So I think that's all I can think of at 577 00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:18,480 the moment. Maybe I'll think of something else couple of weeks. 578 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:24,119 » Right. Well, let's excavate soil on that building. I think you already covered 579 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,119 the fil. 580 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:30,079 So you remove it then put it new stuff. >> Yeah. 581 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:33,760 » Yeah. You probably included a restoration plan. 582 00:51:32,240 --> 00:51:38,640 » I put in the narrative. I think just that it'll be 583 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:41,640 with restoration. 584 00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:49,839 » I think it's just dry dry restoration for dry sites. 585 00:51:47,599 --> 00:51:53,160 see makes I can provide anything you want them 586 00:51:56,640 --> 00:52:04,720 as far as perpetual sort of uh additions right is so so so this is what we've 587 00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:10,800 discussed there's a lot of construction that we now do once it's as 588 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:15,839 destruction's done with the 589 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:21,599 perpetual orders of condition right there's I there's no 590 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:25,280 there's no new you're not creating new land that we 591 00:52:23,839 --> 00:52:32,000 have to wait till it's seated and stabilized. We don't have to worry about 592 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:36,640 that. There's no uh raid stabilization that has to be done here. 593 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:41,280 » Well, uh and actually um that's that's a good point. We didn't we didn't ask this 594 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:45,520 yet, but what is there any sort of you know like regular maintenance that needs 595 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:50,480 to be done you know on the outside? does mean does any kind of equipment need to 596 00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:55,200 get in there on a regular basis, Ron? >> Uh, negative. According to Process 597 00:52:52,400 --> 00:53:01,599 Cooling, um, there'll be minimal there be some heat exchangers on the inside of 598 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:06,240 the um, ConX box that they'll they'll shut down. They'll have bypass valves, 599 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:11,920 bypass the heat exchangers, and they clean the core with a wire brush and the 600 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:16,160 shop vac and and then put the bypass back in. And, uh, that's about it for 601 00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:21,599 maintenance. It's all basically hand tools. Hand tools. 602 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:24,640 » And And of course that that area back there is mowed regularly, right? And 603 00:53:23,599 --> 00:53:30,240 then that will continue. >> Yes, we have a uh we have a um a 604 00:53:27,599 --> 00:53:35,839 landscaper that mows it once a week. >> So we probably should include explicitly 605 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:39,559 include that as that. That's allowed as a perpetual condition. 606 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:45,920 » Just regular bullying. >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean that's that's they're 607 00:53:43,599 --> 00:53:51,800 doing that anyway but it wouldn't hurt >> just to actually 608 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,800 » okay 609 00:53:54,079 --> 00:54:03,760 because you already access so there's no extra 610 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:09,280 access road or anything needed there right and I yeah so there's no road 611 00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:12,640 proposed there those two wells are actually right 612 00:54:10,079 --> 00:54:16,480 » oh but but then but Then um that actually I just thought of something 613 00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:21,119 else. So so I think on on the plan like on the architectural plan or it could 614 00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:27,119 even be a separate plan. I think we need to see the location of where the crane 615 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:31,839 is going to be staged. >> Um crane that lowers this in. We we need 616 00:54:29,839 --> 00:54:34,880 to maybe that can just be added to this plant. You know you know leave that up 617 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:38,280 to you. But I think I think we do need to see that. 618 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:49,680 That's pure because you want to make sure that it's not 619 00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:53,839 end up being further encroaching into the buffer. So 620 00:54:51,839 --> 00:54:58,559 if you can have >> I think generally it 621 00:54:56,319 --> 00:55:03,040 » yeah I mean I think >> there are certainly cranes that are 622 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:08,720 large enough where it could be staged outside the buffer zone. I um sorry to 623 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:15,839 interrupt. If I if I remember process cooling um dealing with the the the um 624 00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:19,359 PM and the engineers, they were going to stage the crane in the front parking 625 00:55:17,839 --> 00:55:20,559 lot. >> Um 626 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:24,640 » Okay. >> And then they go go right over that 627 00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:27,839 corner of the building and set it right down. 628 00:55:26,319 --> 00:55:32,000 » And that's certainly outside the buffer zone. 629 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:39,480 » Correct. So, so maybe maybe maybe that could only be a note added to this plan. 630 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:39,480 Again, leave that up to you. 631 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:07,160 It's got a clear two. Yeah, 632 00:56:14,319 --> 00:56:19,920 » enough to get started with. >> Yeah. 633 00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:25,520 » Okay. Right. So then Okay. So just doing a presumptive close here. I've got a 634 00:56:21,839 --> 00:56:31,040 list of nine conditions here that happened before construction and two 635 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:34,960 that happened after minimal maintenance. Minimal maintenance is required, but the 636 00:56:32,799 --> 00:56:40,400 number is allowed and lower landscaping is allowed. Right? Just you have access 637 00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:48,000 permitted from for the regular maintenance to the to the enclosure and 638 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:52,240 uh access permitted for regular mowing and landscaping of the area out there. 639 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:56,720 So that's what perpetual conditions. There's no other 640 00:56:54,799 --> 00:57:00,400 do they need to store any chemicals out there in the 641 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:02,960 in the mechanical room. We need to store any chemicals. 642 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:06,160 » No. Uh no sir, there won't be any chemicals in there. 643 00:57:04,720 --> 00:57:11,880 » So that that should certainly be a perpetual conditioning file. 644 00:57:08,559 --> 00:57:11,880 » No chemicals. 645 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:18,599 Okay, which should be an easy one. 646 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,520 the search. 647 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:32,319 Okay. So then, okay. So we have present to close three eventual conditions. Nine 648 00:57:29,839 --> 00:57:37,760 things have to do before the construction begins. 649 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:43,839 Um the next meeting is in two weeks. That 650 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:53,240 will mean for many other would have to be done like next week and put out 651 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:53,240 It's certainly possible. 652 00:57:53,839 --> 00:58:02,640 » Well, what what what what we can do is we can keep the hearing open. 653 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:05,200 » Yeah. >> Oh, okay. 654 00:58:03,839 --> 00:58:08,760 » Okay. So, that takes a little bit of pressure off you. 655 00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:17,040 So, so I'll do the best I can. 656 00:58:14,079 --> 00:58:20,920 So add something although it seems 657 00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:27,599 » all continue the >> well continue the hearing. 658 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:31,119 » Yeah, we'll continue the hearing and then if we close it next time, 659 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:36,000 theoretically you'll you'll then have another three weeks to uh get the order 660 00:58:34,559 --> 00:58:43,319 out. But if you pretty much already drafted it, it shouldn't take you that 661 00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:43,319 long. Okay, sounds good. 662 00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:53,280 So, uh, if we don't need any additional information, is there, um, a, um, a 663 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:57,040 motion to continue the air to August 16th? 664 00:58:55,520 --> 00:59:02,640 » September 16th. >> Oh, September 16th. Sorry. 665 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:06,960 And what is usually 7:45, right? >> Yep. 666 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:12,880 » So, >> has that been moved in second? Yeah. 667 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:20,400 » So, so moved in a second to continue this hearing to September 16th at 7:45. 668 00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:25,200 Um, all those in favor say I. >> I. Um. 669 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:29,119 All post say no. No. That motion is unanimous. 670 00:59:26,799 --> 00:59:32,720 » Okay. >> Wonderful. 671 00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:37,280 » Thank you, Rob. Thank you, Rob. >> Thank Thanks for your time, gentlemen. 672 00:59:34,559 --> 00:59:40,599 Have a good night. Yeah, probably 673 00:59:52,319 --> 01:00:00,559 » and I asked my coworker child about damn photos and he said Scott 674 00:59:59,119 --> 01:00:06,160 » wonderful. Wonderful. >> He did take them. 675 01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:13,160 » I could tell him to send him a few. Thanks, Ron. All right. 676 01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:13,160 » All right. Let's see. 677 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:22,559 » All right. So, we have one more piece of correspondence. Honestly, I didn't dig 678 01:00:20,319 --> 01:00:28,240 my teeth too much into this, but let's go into it. We have a proposal for a 679 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:36,359 seed and micro library and community education program. We want to take we 680 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:36,359 can take a minute to review this. 681 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:48,960 So, who is this from >> and where? 682 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:56,000 » Um, it is from Lubby Castle and uh it's proposed at the 683 01:00:53,599 --> 01:01:00,319 Sergeant Memorial Library. Residents will be able to borrow seeds, 684 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:04,160 grow them at home. Littleton. 685 01:01:02,559 --> 01:01:08,640 » Oh, is this like what they're doing at the Littleton Library? Oh. Oh, yeah. I 686 01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:13,480 really like that. >> That That's really great what they've 687 01:01:10,079 --> 01:01:13,480 done out there. 688 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,160 » So, 689 01:01:24,799 --> 01:01:30,480 » yeah. At the bottom, she says, "I respectfully request a brief meeting or 690 01:01:28,559 --> 01:01:33,760 conversation with the ad comedy consom to discuss feasibility and 691 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:37,839 collaboration, guidance on native plants, pollinators, and save seed 692 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:42,960 saving best practices, support, and connecting with local gardeners and 693 01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:47,040 farms who may wish to contribute seeds." >> Yeah. What's that like? 694 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:50,640 » Yeah, absolutely. This is >> is this something that would interest 695 01:01:48,799 --> 01:01:57,200 the commission in having her come in or is this something that um 696 01:01:54,480 --> 01:02:05,280 you would want like me to handle on my own? I I'm perfectly fine with either. 697 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:09,680 » Well, um yeah, and I think I'm okay as well, but but I would definitely 698 01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:14,720 recommend if she hasn't already to take a look at what they've done at the 699 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:20,319 Littleton Library. Yeah, I think they've done a great job up there that that will 700 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:25,440 give her um some very definite uh ideas. I think and and and I would and I again 701 01:02:23,119 --> 01:02:30,000 I would I would like to see you know um a specific proposal 702 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:35,599 um and if and if she yeah and if you know after she reviews the little thing 703 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:40,160 if if if she still if she feels she still would like recommendations from 704 01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:45,599 this commission as to like species to plant whatever. Yeah, that and I think 705 01:02:42,559 --> 01:02:51,599 we could meet with her. Sounds good. >> Doesn't Doesn't she also to involve 706 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:54,960 director of the library? >> I sure like space the library for this. 707 01:02:54,640 --> 01:03:00,559 So, >> it would certainly be a good thing. It 708 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:05,359 is owned by the town. So, um >> not sure she would need to, but you're 709 01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:10,400 right. It should be something that is is up. 710 01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:17,760 » I'm guessing that one get >> Yeah. Yes. Yeah, this is this is stuff. 711 01:03:13,119 --> 01:03:21,839 So, okay. So, that that question is adex listed. 712 01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:25,039 » Yeah, that's a good question. I I I'll reach out to her and make sure that she 713 01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:31,520 knows when adcom's meeting. We received this without uh any without pushing her 714 01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:37,200 or anything. So, I'm guessing that Adcom will be reviewing this same thing at 715 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:43,440 their meeting next Tuesday. Um >> yeah. So, so, so to 716 01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:45,920 » is is friendly to this post. >> Yes. 717 01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:49,640 » Yeah, I can >> think that should also 718 01:03:50,880 --> 01:04:01,839 » perhaps just you as the exchange point say the next step would be to to take it 719 01:04:00,559 --> 01:04:07,280 to the librarian. >> Yes, 720 01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:13,039 » this concom think this is a good idea. How would you suppose this be made a 721 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:17,839 real thing, >> right? Because there's got to have space 722 01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:21,680 of the library space of something else 723 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:25,200 over land. >> Yeah, there might be space. 724 01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:27,440 » Well, yes, but the person who would know that is 725 01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:32,400 » it's based on Yeah. >> Correct. I mean, I I would think that 726 01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:36,319 since she's proposing this at the library, she must have she must already 727 01:04:34,559 --> 01:04:37,200 have some thoughts about where it would go. 728 01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:44,240 » Yeah. >> Up there. 729 01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:46,640 » Two two pods that perhaps 730 01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:52,319 put >> she's not asking us for any money. At 731 01:04:49,119 --> 01:04:58,319 least not yet. I'm certainly open to some funding if speak 732 01:04:55,760 --> 01:05:02,160 » that she decides that's what she would like. 733 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:06,240 » So, hope that's enough to wonderful. Yeah, I'll reach I'll reach back out to 734 01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:11,920 her. Um, great. And then let's go to 735 01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:17,839 I guess it's just the planners report, right? This is a fun one. 736 01:05:15,039 --> 01:05:23,920 Um, do I have other things? Yeah. So, uh, I'll go quickly through three 737 01:05:21,599 --> 01:05:29,039 different potential things we have down the pipeline. Campelli, I had briefly 738 01:05:26,319 --> 01:05:34,160 mentioned, uh, a meeting or two ago, and, um, Alec had spoken with him and 739 01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:38,400 said that he does not believe, Campanelli said that they do not believe 740 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:42,480 that these next two developments will require any filings. So, I'll keep an 741 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:46,160 eye out for that. And obviously when those come into the um planning board, 742 01:05:44,799 --> 01:05:49,839 the first thing I'll be doing on behalf of the consum is ensuring that they 743 01:05:48,079 --> 01:05:55,760 don't need to file anything. And if they do um if it's minor potential RDA, uh if 744 01:05:53,760 --> 01:06:01,839 it's something projectw worthy, then obviously an OI. Um but I'll be keeping 745 01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:07,760 an eye on that. uh the firehouse uh going in at 984 Massav. There was a 746 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:13,440 pre-development meeting between the architects and engineers and some of the 747 01:06:10,079 --> 01:06:18,880 town staff, fire department, Alec and I um and some other other folks uh 748 01:06:16,079 --> 01:06:23,200 interested in the project. Um they have not yet submitted anything formally to 749 01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:28,480 the planning board. Um it is looking like there might be an uh RDA with that 750 01:06:25,839 --> 01:06:34,480 one. Um it's the wetlands is across the street 751 01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:40,000 at 975 Mass avenue. You guys will remember we had that project last year 752 01:06:37,119 --> 01:06:46,480 and um it's it seems minimal enough where it crosses the state highway. Um 753 01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:50,079 so we'll see once the final project is proposed and submitted to the planning 754 01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:54,559 board. Um but they have already identified the wetland buffer and I 755 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:58,400 can't remember exactly what it is. definitely not uh able to share the 756 01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:04,480 plans right now, but I think it was like maybe two or three parking lots that 757 01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:08,880 crossed into the 100 foot buffer. So, um >> Well, and and some of that's going to be 758 01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:11,440 dependent on what the proposed for storm water management. 759 01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:16,400 » Yes, absolutely. >> Um so, is there is there I should know 760 01:07:13,839 --> 01:07:21,839 the answer to this question. Is is there a a a town storm water management bylaw? 761 01:07:20,079 --> 01:07:26,240 Yes, there's a for the planning board they have to submit a storm water man 762 01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:31,039 they have to apply for a storm water management permit. It's very similar to 763 01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:35,039 kind of what we just saw with this NOI. Um but yeah, a lot of that is also 764 01:07:33,359 --> 01:07:41,039 handled with the town engineer. I won't pretend I know everything about storm 765 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:46,319 water um uh you know measurements and and the things that uh we have we're so 766 01:07:43,599 --> 01:07:49,599 lucky to have Sue deal with. Um, 767 01:07:47,839 --> 01:07:54,000 and then is that and then we have another one 768 01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:57,119 perspective uh NOI that might might be coming up within the next couple weeks. 769 01:07:55,359 --> 01:08:02,319 I honestly can't remember the address of it, but we did have someone asking about 770 01:07:59,359 --> 01:08:06,319 um filing fees for the NOI that they plan to um file with us so we can keep 771 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:11,359 an eye out for that. We will be getting busier. So with that, Mary and I will be 772 01:08:09,039 --> 01:08:16,719 keeping a tighter schedule of when things are due. Um, obviously she's 773 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:22,159 always on top of when things are posted. Um, but with that I will be working with 774 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:29,440 Liz to uh if Liz isn't around then I'll be looking to appoint a reviewer. Um, 775 01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:34,000 and getting everything to folks as early as possible. Um, ideally like a week 776 01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:38,640 before when when everything's posted and we have all the submissions. Um, yeah. 777 01:08:36,799 --> 01:08:42,799 » So, so when you say busy, you mean from a regulatory perspective? 5 months? 778 01:08:41,359 --> 01:08:48,159 » Yes. Yep. Uh, you know, the Campan Alley I 779 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:52,719 said is a maybe, but the Firehouse um and this other potential one, those are 780 01:08:50,239 --> 01:08:58,080 two on the horizon that we uh we're pretty certain of we'll be dealing with. 781 01:08:54,960 --> 01:09:03,759 Um, whether they're RDAs or NOIs. Um, yeah, we'll be finding that out shortly. 782 01:09:00,159 --> 01:09:10,319 But, um, let's see what else. The OSRP ice cream social was a week from this 783 01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:14,560 past Saturday. Um, we had some pretty unfortunate weather. It was like very 784 01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:19,279 misty. It wasn't raining enough to um cancel it completely, but we did get I 785 01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:25,359 think about 16 folks come by, mostly members of of like Adcom 786 01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:29,040 um and I know Liz was there and we did get some residents who had just heard 787 01:09:26,799 --> 01:09:34,560 about it online. So, that was great. Um luckily those uh things that I made for 788 01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:38,000 the event are going to be able to be kind of recycled and brought to other 789 01:09:36,159 --> 01:09:45,359 town events. So, it's not a complete wash, but um more importantly, we have a 790 01:09:42,480 --> 01:09:51,600 potential EO enforcement order that I had begun drafting today um because I 791 01:09:48,080 --> 01:09:59,520 had been notified by a resident about tree clearings uh along Massav. 792 01:09:54,320 --> 01:10:06,280 So, let me first where Yeah. So, let me first um 793 01:10:02,480 --> 01:10:06,280 just pull this up. 794 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:20,560 It doesn't load. There we go. 795 01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:26,560 So, they did have a filing for an NOI back in I think 2004, 2005. We don't 796 01:10:23,679 --> 01:10:30,080 have those files on us. Uh or Mary went digging for them. She found the order of 797 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:35,120 conditions in the certificate. Um but we couldn't find the plans. But that's over 798 01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:39,600 20 years ago. Um, I did check Mass Mapper and uh our assessor's database. 799 01:10:38,159 --> 01:10:45,040 It seems like there is very clearly wetlands in the area and it looks like 800 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:49,679 the limit of their tree clearing on the back side of their property. Um, 801 01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:55,040 definitely most likely um encroaches either on 802 01:10:52,719 --> 01:11:00,400 wetland or most definitely within the buffer zone. With that, I let the 803 01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:04,640 building commissioner know yesterday and um we will be potentially doing 804 01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:10,320 something about it tomorrow. But with that, I had drafted an enforcement 805 01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:14,159 order. Um I have some photos as well, but any of this that you guys would like 806 01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:17,320 more information on, I'd be happy to let you know. 807 01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:27,199 » So what So what's an enforcement order? Yeah, the enforcement order is also new 808 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:32,560 to me. I've never had to deal with one, but um it is pretty self-explanatory 809 01:11:29,440 --> 01:11:37,360 once you look at the the WPA form. Um I'll show you guys that in just a 810 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:43,040 second. I'll show you the other picture. There was a huge tree on this side if 811 01:11:40,239 --> 01:11:47,760 you can see it here. It looked bigger in real life, but probably at least four or 812 01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:56,239 five foot diameter. No, this is Flamingo 813 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:58,560 Market. Uh after Olympia and Oscars. >> Yes. Great vine. 814 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:02,239 » Yeah. >> So So it's in back of there. 815 01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:06,960 » It is on the back side of there. >> The Conservation Commission now owns 816 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:10,640 that that 7.6 acres. >> That's correct. 817 01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:17,960 » Not on our land, is it? >> It doesn't. It doesn't look like it, but 818 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:17,960 it also it we don't know. It may be 819 01:12:23,440 --> 01:12:27,360 Yes. >> Yeah. 820 01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:31,400 » I believe we accepted that at the end of last year. 821 01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:31,400 » Yeah. 822 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:40,880 » Nope. We haven't had any direct contact with them, but this might be our first 823 01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:45,120 here. Um, so let me pull up this enforcement order. Dave, I'm sure you're 824 01:12:42,719 --> 01:12:51,280 very familiar with this. um enforcement order issued by Conscom to this is the 825 01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:54,800 owner listed uh address significant tree clearing. So if you want me to move 826 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:58,640 change any of this again this is a draft I'd be happy to 827 01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:04,280 significant tree clearing and removal within the buffer zone across the entire 828 01:13:00,480 --> 01:13:04,280 southern half of the property. 829 01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,800 » Well, but it says it says the buffer zone. 830 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:14,560 » Yeah. >> Well, that's that that's going to be 831 01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:20,159 their responsibility. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Also on the D form, I think most if not 832 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:25,199 all of this is um so finding the activity has been is being conducted in 833 01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:28,960 an area subject to the protection of the wetlands protection act or the buffer 834 01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:35,679 zone without approval from the issuing authority. Um and then there's other 835 01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:39,199 parts of this. The activity does violate the provisions in the certificate of 836 01:13:37,440 --> 01:13:43,679 compliance. I look back >> um conditions. 837 01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:51,840 » Yep. the essentially same boilerplate uh perpetual conditions that we uh this is 838 01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:57,520 so I can also get confirmation but this is a certificate without our written 839 01:13:54,560 --> 01:14:01,760 conditions. What I did was look at the order of conditions that was um recorded 840 01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:05,520 here >> but the certificate of client should 841 01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:10,719 reference the perpetual conditions. It just doesn't have them in the recorded 842 01:14:07,199 --> 01:14:15,280 copy at the registry because it's in the original order here. So, let me just 843 01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:17,520 » But it doesn't have it doesn't even have a reference to it. 844 01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:19,760 » I mean, they >> it may 845 01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:22,000 » it should >> Yeah. Don't scroll down. Can you enlarge 846 01:14:21,679 --> 01:14:25,320 that? >> Yeah. But 847 01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:31,199 » uh keep going. Oh, hold on. There we go. I'm going. Okay. So, 848 01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:35,040 » A through D. Thank you for that. >> That's That's a violation of the 849 01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:39,880 certificate of compliance. Yes, those would be 850 01:14:36,159 --> 01:14:39,880 » what they are. Yes. 851 01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:49,440 » Perpetual. There we go. >> No additional alterations of any kind 852 01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:52,560 within the wetlands and the buffer zone will be permitted without prior approval 853 01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:55,800 of the concom. >> That's pretty. 854 01:14:55,840 --> 01:15:01,880 » Yeah, I believe A through D. And that's the only one that really 855 01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:15,280 So it's really C because as far as we know they haven't put any new structure 856 01:15:12,239 --> 01:15:18,960 there's no storage of chemicals but they >> yes but 857 01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:21,960 » alterations. So this second sentence of the 858 01:15:24,719 --> 01:15:27,719 » Ci. 859 01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:41,920 Yeah. Okay. So that so what happens then you so you say 860 01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:46,960 okay we saw you do this you violated the orders of conditions. So yeah, we'll 861 01:15:44,480 --> 01:15:50,960 continue through this because then we have the order. This the issuing 862 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:54,560 authority hereby orders the following. Property owner, his agents, permites, 863 01:15:52,560 --> 01:16:01,360 and all others shall immediately cease and desist from any activity affecting 864 01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:05,840 the buffer zone and/or resource areas. And then I can fill out one or two of 865 01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:11,120 the following. A restoration plan shall be filed with the issuing authority. Um, 866 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:15,440 honor before date or complete the attached notice of intent shall be filed 867 01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:19,360 with the issuing authority honor before date. 868 01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:24,159 » So, so go back scroll back a little bit. Um, 869 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:29,600 » more no. So, so yeah, the question is the the two under the checkbox resource 870 01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:33,040 area alterations resulting from said activity shall be corrected in the 871 01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:37,280 resource areas returned to their original conditions. I mean that when it 872 01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:42,800 says a resource area there really really refers to a wetland resource area under 873 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:47,040 the WPA. This is just buffer zone. So I think it really should be the next one. 874 01:16:44,159 --> 01:16:52,800 A restoration plan um shall be filed with addition authority on or before 875 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:56,320 date for the following you know re uh re replanting the um the buffer zone. 876 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,159 » Yeah. >> You know with trees 877 01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:02,960 » with trees. Yeah. >> Yeah. 878 01:16:58,719 --> 01:17:06,960 » Um and they'll be stay well. Well, well, I would then then then I would then I 879 01:17:04,719 --> 01:17:13,600 would go down from there. >> Um, keep keep going. Um, that um says 880 01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:19,120 where it says the property owner should take the following action. I would say 881 01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:23,520 hire a wetland consultant to to prepare a restoration 882 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:27,760 a tree a tree replanting plan for the buffer zone. 883 01:17:26,159 --> 01:17:30,000 » That seems very >> Yeah. 884 01:17:28,159 --> 01:17:34,600 » Are there any trees resistant to invasives? 885 01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,600 Yeah. 886 01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:42,880 » Well, >> I think that is an invasive technically. 887 01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:47,040 » Oh, well, he said resistant to invasive. >> So, I mean, the way this will work is if 888 01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:51,760 they abide by it, if they comply with it, they they they they will provide a 889 01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:56,719 restoration plan where where the consultant will prepare a restoration 890 01:17:54,320 --> 01:18:01,040 plan and and present it here to the commission and the commission can review 891 01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:04,719 those kinds of issues. I mean if if if they're if they're opposing all Norway 892 01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:11,040 Naples obviously we're going to say no to that you know 893 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:18,000 » so what was happened here was they they had something in mind the awareness and 894 01:18:14,480 --> 01:18:23,520 what we seen with camera sees is that a bunch of trees have been cleared cut 895 01:18:20,480 --> 01:18:30,080 down instead right we don't know if that's the end of it we don't know 896 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,080 maybe 897 01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:37,080 Well, but but that they won't be able to see the citizen very much. 898 01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:37,080 » Well, 899 01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:48,400 » well, okay. So, um first of all, they have 60 days to appeal it um under the 900 01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:54,560 WPA. We and um also would have to be appealed under the um the local bylaw. 901 01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:57,760 Um but but I think I think they both I think we can double check with town 902 01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:02,080 council but I think they would both then get appealed to superior court. You know 903 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:08,239 the the appeal of an enforcement order is not with D. Um, and I presume if if 904 01:19:06,480 --> 01:19:13,440 they say, "Well, you know, we we want to expand the parking lot," they'll they'll 905 01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:18,560 they'll come to that, >> right? And then we can we can we can 906 01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:24,400 make a decision about whether we want to modify this or we say no, you know, the 907 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:27,360 the the order of conditions says no for permanent structures shall ever be 908 01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:32,719 permitted. >> So, this is forcing a conversation at 909 01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:40,679 the at the very least could happen. 910 01:19:34,159 --> 01:19:40,679 to say put solar on on side roof, right? 911 01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:46,520 Yeah. >> We don't know. 912 01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:53,520 » There's at least >> that's 913 01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:56,880 » there's at least a 50/50 chance they'll they'll say, "We want to come and see 914 01:19:54,960 --> 01:20:00,239 you and tell us what we want to do. Tell you what we want to do." 915 01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:07,360 Right. >> It's the other side of 50. Yeah. They 916 01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:13,199 get visited from the town council or it's 917 01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:19,360 what what what happens what what what's what's the state? 918 01:20:15,199 --> 01:20:22,320 » Well, um because if if uh so first of all, if they have the right to appeal 919 01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:27,199 within 60 days, they have right to appeal. If they don't appeal then and 920 01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:31,520 they don't do anything, if they if they haven't not complied with the terms and 921 01:20:29,440 --> 01:20:36,440 conditions of the enforcement order, then then we take them into court. 922 01:20:33,440 --> 01:20:36,440 » Yeah. 923 01:20:36,719 --> 01:20:44,880 » And it's a civil it's a civil case. Yes. >> I think in this case, I don't see any 924 01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:49,600 crim evidence of criminal activity here. >> Um 925 01:20:46,239 --> 01:20:52,560 » Okay.

Have Have you had any um contact with 926 01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:56,159 them? >> No. Not yet. 927 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:58,400 » So, um you'll you'll put your your name and contact information in the 928 01:20:57,600 --> 01:21:03,440 enforcement. >> I have that somewhere here. 929 01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:08,800 » Um and hopefully hopefully if you get a call hope, you know, um and then, you 930 01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:12,080 know, even if you don't get a call, I think you should, you know, try and 931 01:21:10,239 --> 01:21:14,080 establish communication and ask to do a safe visit. 932 01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:17,360 » Yeah, absolutely. >> So, then this gets delivered to them as 933 01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:19,920 a certified letter or something. >> Yeah. 934 01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:24,560 » Yeah. It can also be uh brought to them in person. It says 935 01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:27,280 » signature of delivery person or certified mail number.
