[7:37] We will do an introdu auction of members.
[7:40] Present, starting with drew.
[7:42] Withdrew.Hello, Andrew Kauf
[7:45] Connor Madison.
[7:46] Keith Whitehouse, Valerie.
[7:47] Thanker.
[7:48] And Kristen Murphy conservation and sustainability planner for the town.
[7:53] And that is perfectly
[7:55] a quorum.
[7:55] Yep.
[7:56] For the quorum.
[7:57] It's exciting.
[7:59] We'll start out with any public.
[8:02] Comments
[8:03] it doesn't.
[8:05] Doesn't look that way and I assume.
[8:08] There's no one on one.
[8:09] Yeah.
[8:11] And that's totally fine.
[8:13] .
[8:14] So then we're breezing through.
[8:15] So then our first action item.
[8:18] Went a short wedding, conditional use experiment for the expansion of the existing parking
[8:21] lot.
[8:22] For service credit union at 1 0 9 eeping road tax map, 55, lot 67.
[8:27] I believe
[8:28] Mike
[8:30] ward is here to presume.
[8:30] Yeah.
[8:31] Keith covered.
[8:31] I'm so close.
[8:34] Well, well,
[8:37] thanks for having me.
[8:38] Sorry.
[8:38] I wasn't able to make the sidewalk, but I know Tom.
[8:41] Tom, you have good hands with probably Tom.
[8:42] So.
[8:44] Keith coming from bowler.
[8:45] This is a existing service federal credit union at 1 0 9 ING road.
[8:49] All they're looking to do
[8:51] is.
[8:53] Zoom down.
[8:55] Right.
[8:55] Is the building footprint staying the same?
[8:57] It just consisted and unsafe.
[9:00] With the number of parking spaces they have, they're looking for more parking.
[9:03] And they're also looking for a longer queuing for the, for the drive-through the
[9:06] teller and the ATM.
[9:08] ATM. So on this plan right now.
[9:11] And C is again, this access drive here.
[9:15] Access drive down here.
[9:17] And then there's an existing detention basin here.
[9:20] Which is under jurisdictional wetland by the state considers that even though it's just
[9:24] Man-made stormwater basin.
[9:25] There's some limited drainage out there that now pipes its way to.
[9:30] This
[9:31] detention basin.
[9:32] And then it outlets to the existing wetland, which is.
[9:36] Sorry.
[9:37] Yep.
[9:38] Let's screen for you.
[9:40] Ah, thank you.
[9:45] I didn't set it up right.
[9:47] Some way
[9:48] .
[9:50] Yeah, just go ahead.
[9:51] I'll pick it up.
[9:52] Okay.
[9:52] Thank you.
[9:54] And then the other wetland jurisdiction, wetland that you guys care about is up
[9:58] is up here, the forest wetland, something, those are the two wetlands that.
[10:02] Are on the site
[10:04] and that were in.
[10:06] Well, lemme report from Tom, from Ts.
[10:09] He also is here, so he can answer some additional questions about that.
[10:13] Thank you.
[10:14] Mm-hmm so that's the general site.
[10:15] The site is only about 1.2929 acres.
[10:20] And as you mentioned, the existing, the existing drainage and that filled wetland that
[10:24] we're talking about here.
[10:26] Is just about 700 square feet.
[10:27] And you'll notice in the next plan I'll show, we actually look at this
[10:30] replicate that area.
[10:32] In in this area.
[10:34] There is no impact
[10:36] to the other, the other.
[10:38] Web, just the buffer.
[10:40] This is the diagram that kind of just shows.
[10:43] The impact areas.
[10:43] So the light green.
[10:45] Is the
[10:48] sorry.
[10:49] I say the,
[10:50] the temporary.
[10:51] Oh.
[10:52] Sorry about that.
[10:55] The light green.
[10:57] Is the temporary impact to the buffer.
[10:59] And the dark green is.
[11:01] The permanent.
[11:03] So next plan.
[11:08] We'll show that.
[11:08] So the idea here is right.
[11:10] We're right now, this is not, this is kind of where the existing basin
[11:13] is.
[11:13] Right.
[11:14] So the idea is.
[11:15] We're keeping this access point and getting this access point and moving it further
[11:20] up.
[11:22] But further up here.
[11:24] And this is the added impervious area, right.
[11:26] And there's gonna be retaining wall here, cuz we're trying to limit the disturbance
[11:30] into the buffer area.
[11:32] So the added in Perus is only two acres.
[11:35] And the limit, the disturbance of the whole site is only 0.8 acres.
[11:39] So we have a full stormwater design to handle that additional impervious.
[11:43] And obviously we are as mentioned, moving.
[11:46] That existing stormwater basin.
[11:47] So it's part of the submittal was a full drainage report showing how we're
[11:51] hailing quantity and quality.
[11:54] The idea is it's still, again, the site's still discharging to the wetland.
[11:57] We have deep some point of catch basins.
[12:00] Basins hydrodynamic, separators and underground detention.
[12:04] System and a filtering practice.
[12:05] So I'll show you that on the next page.
[12:07] Which is the drainage plan.
[12:11] So here is the subsurface detention system.
[12:15] Right.
[12:15] And then the idea is it outlets to the wetland application area, which is
[12:19] directly abuts the wetland.
[12:21] So again, no wetland impact.
[12:22] It's.
[12:23] It's just the, the, the buffer.
[12:26] So the temporary buffer impact as noted on the application is 4,380 square feet
[12:31] The permanent impact to the buffer area is 1,550.
[12:34] Eight square feet.
[12:36] The other thing we sent some back and forth.
[12:38] Thank you about the stream.
[12:40] So there is a stream within the 150.
[12:43] Foot buffer.
[12:45] So that's why we also need the conditional use for the Shoreland protection.
[12:48] We just need it locally.
[12:49] We don't need the state.
[12:50] Shoreland.
[12:52] And our, with our impact is all temporary.
[12:54] No permanent within the 150 foot buffer.
[12:57] Is 2,410.
[12:59] Square feet.
[13:00] And again, that's all in the application.
[13:01] So you have two different applications conditionally use for the wetland conservation overlay and
[13:06] for the shoreline protection district.
[13:11] And then other things just wanted to show you.
[13:14] Just if you're interested
[13:15] is obviously this is a motion control plan, which is part of it.
[13:18] We can show, show the construction entrance here.
[13:22] And we have the erosion controls in place.
[13:23] I can talk further about if you'd like, and we also have.
[13:26] A full landscape plan.
[13:28] Obviously, everything's gonna be stabilized with seating and we're adding some more landscaping to
[13:33] the existing site to make it work.
[13:34] But again, the whole thing for this, the whole.
[13:37] Reason for this
[13:38] is that right now, actually the parking and the queuing doesn't really work for
[13:41] service credit union.
[13:42] So the idea was to just try to make it more safe.
[13:45] So the we've expanded.
[13:48] This direction towards the wetlands.
[13:50] Wetlands at the same time, trying to limit obviously the wetland impact and making
[13:53] sure we're handling stormwater.
[13:55] Other thing to note, just in the stormwater.
[13:57] We are treating the whole site.
[13:59] So right now there's some stormwater treatment.
[14:01] The stormwater treatment is considerably better on what we're doing.
[14:04] So, not only are we obviously treating the new, we're treating all the impervious
[14:08] to meet the local, the local bylaws.
[14:12] Bylaws.So it's a better system.
[14:13] That's presently out there.
[14:18] That's all I had in this, this.
[14:20] Questions.
[14:21] Thank you.
[14:22] Yeah.
[14:23] I just have a couple, so I, we, all of us around the sidewalk
[14:26] actually.
[14:26] Yes.
[14:27] Well,
[14:28] that's never happened before.
[14:29] Yeah.
[14:30] That's.
[14:32] The
[14:34] the new, I guess we'll call it like a.
[14:36] Drain water basin
[14:38] or the, the new wetlands is the grade going to go right into the
[14:42] existing wetland or is there gonna be a berm?
[14:45] I wanna zoom in there.
[14:46] So just, it's a good question.
[14:49] You guys probably had smaller plans, very different health.
[14:51] See, I'm assuming.
[14:53] You know what I'm gonna go to.
[14:58] Get out of this.
[14:58] Yeah, you can zoom in.
[15:00] That's fine.
[15:01] Let's see if I can go to hold on one second.
[15:06] Out of the presentation.
[15:08] Plan to have, I did not have the grading plan on here, but we
[15:10] easier to see.
[15:15] The full plan set.
[15:17] And I can go to the grading plan and zoom in.
[15:21] Be easier to see.
[15:42] so, yeah, there's, there's no berm.
[15:44] So we're basically, you know, and I do the wetland mitigation replication up to
[15:48] the line.
[15:49] So the idea is just increase.
[15:50] Increases that, that wetland
[15:53] and again, the wetland is not functioning.
[15:54] Wetland application of the wetland is not functioning as any stormwater treatment.
[15:59] The everything I just went through with the stormwater design.
[16:02] Totally handles that we're not counting on the wetland for any of that treatment
[16:05] So the idea is it's filtered treated before it makes it to the wetland
[16:08] and the wetland application area.
[16:13] And just so you know, I believe I'm trying to remember.
[16:15] I think we did.
[16:17] You know what I, I'm not sure.
[16:19] Double check if we did one-to-one replication or one and a half to one
[16:22] I don't recall, but it's at least one-to-one I think it was one and
[16:25] a.
[16:26] Half to, was it one, half to one?
[16:27] Sorry.
[16:27] Yeah.
[16:28] Yep.
[16:34] This doesn't qualify and it's under the a O T.
[16:37] T disturbance
[16:38] it is.
[16:39] Would you not 50?
[16:39] So no OT. We do not need a, a OT, but we will be
[16:43] going for the state wetlands permit.
[16:48] That was the thing that came up on site is you might.
[16:51] Unless we address that here and now then we you'd probably have to come
[16:55] back.
[16:57] For our review of the state permit.
[17:00] Usually we review those separat separately.
[17:05] What would you recommend?
[17:06] Kristin?
[17:08] I think it's the comfort level of the board.
[17:11] You know,
[17:13] you don't have the formal.
[17:15] Application and sorry, you don't have the formal.
[17:17] Application in front of you.
[17:19] I suspect you're not gonna have any additional details that you don't see now
[17:23] in terms of plan set.
[17:25] So.
[17:25] It's really just the state form.
[17:28] That is not in front of you.
[17:30] If you're comfortable with that, then you could add that to your, you know
[17:33] add a third motion to have a recommendation.
[17:37] To the state or you just.
[17:40] Are silent on the application.
[17:42] Or they come back.
[17:43] We wanted to present to you first, before we send to the state, in
[17:45] case you had any comments or concerns, therefore, then we could address them.
[17:49] And send that to the state.
[17:50] Same things.
[17:50] Chris just mentioned.
[17:51] If you have a recommendation that helps the point is there would be, if
[17:54] you guys have no comments, the, the state's gonna get exactly the same.
[17:58] The same plan.
[17:58] We're not changing anything.
[17:59] So if you can just condition it on.
[18:02] The state approval, like we're not planning on changing anything and it's a small
[18:05] minor impact where I'm expecting Tom.
[18:08] Correct me if I'm wrong.
[18:08] Any issues with the state permit?
[18:11] Yeah.
[18:11] Usually just comment on them.
[18:12] And so if we didn't comment, does it.
[18:15] Was that removed that whole like delay
[18:18] delays, the review or changes the.
[18:21] State review based on whether or not the conservation commission.
[18:24] So I think, I think because they're not.
[18:27] Seeking expedited review.
[18:29] That was just the expedited standard.
[18:31] So it's the standard.
[18:31] So it would just the standard review time.
[18:33] Okay.
[18:34] It's just whether or not.
[18:36] You want to offer, offer comments, an advisory opinion to the state?
[18:39] Sure.
[18:41] And I believe again, Tom, correct me.
[18:42] I can correct me line.
[18:43] It's just permit by notice.
[18:44] Right?
[18:45] Cause it's such a limited impact.
[18:47] Is that correct?
[18:47] It wouldn't be a permit by notice.
[18:49] Notification
[18:50] it wouldn't.
[18:51] I'm sorry.
[18:51] I'm telling Sokoloski.
[18:54] The Whitland scientist of record on the project.
[18:56] There, it wouldn't be a permit by notification because you were altering.
[19:00] The wetlands, but we need to review that more closely when we get into
[19:03] the actual application phase.
[19:06] Okay, because there were some changes as was alluded to by the conservation commission
[19:09] in the wetland rules.
[19:12] That goes back to the revisions that happened in 2019.
[19:16] And these days with all of the more recent changes as well.
[19:20] I, I go back to the book every time for a permit application these
[19:23] days.
[19:24] Just to make sure I'm current.
[19:29] That was a good answer.
[19:31] Smart.
[19:33] it's.
[19:35] So for this, we're not using the wetland creation as a, like a mitigation
[19:39] tool.
[19:40] No, we're using, we strict.
[19:43] Strictly just put, and I figured you guys may want kind of like, was
[19:45] trying to get this moving along.
[19:46] Didn't wait for you to cross.
[19:48] It's literally just of Cape the well, and there's no treatment.
[19:51] Part of that.
[19:51] Again, all the stone water design is treated in the deep sum of catch
[19:55] basin in the separators.
[19:57] That unground tension handles the
[20:00] volumes right in the, the P flows.
[20:02] And then the filtering practice.
[20:04] So that meets the criteria.
[20:06] The time, which I believe city just defers to the, even though we don't
[20:09] need the a O T it's still meeting.
[20:12] The a O T requirements for Stonewater treatment.
[20:15] Even though we don't have to get physically get that permit from them cuz
[20:18] we're underneath the threshold.
[20:21] So the deep sum and all of that is that.
[20:25] Is occurring under in the parking lot.
[20:28] Yeah, so
[20:30] you go back to the drainage plan to easy to see.
[20:40] Nipple.
[20:43] All the pipe piping catch basin.
[20:45] Heads to this subsurface detention area.
[20:49] Right.And then that filtering practice.
[20:51] Right here,
[20:52] then get this details as probably set is, is right.
[20:55] Is right here.
[20:56] So again, it's being treated.
[20:58] Filtered after, after, so we don't have to do it before, after the detention
[21:03] Before it goes to the wetlands.
[21:05] Wetlands.Okay.
[21:05] And that's,
[21:07] that is
[21:08] a closed system.
[21:09] You're not infiltrating.
[21:10] It's closed, closed system.
[21:13] Yep.
[21:13] Correct?
[21:13] There's no infiltration.
[21:14] The soils out there are D.
[21:16] So we can't, we don't, we're not gonna get the infiltration, so we don't
[21:20] have to hit that criteria.
[21:22] Because it's a Desso and doesn't, the rates are too slow.
[21:24] So it's strictly a detention.
[21:26] Detention system.
[21:27] Okay.
[21:29] And we did see that.
[21:30] So there were two test pets out there.
[21:32] Correct.
[21:35] And those were in that wetland creation area.
[21:38] They were, we didn't want to rip up the parking.
[21:40] I don't know if they show on here.
[21:44] Or there were three test pets.
[21:46] Even there was one by the four, the basin.
[21:49] We saw and then two out in the woods.
[21:51] There's one here.
[21:53] Right.One here,
[21:54] one here.
[21:56] And one here.
[21:58] Okay.
[21:59] Oh, so we were out there.
[22:01] Okay.
[22:02] So those zones
[22:04] zones.
[22:04] That's helpful.
[22:06] So in part of the, in the, in Paul, the drainage report, if you
[22:09] want, but that information's in the drainage, in the drainage report.
[22:12] The logs and it talks about, obviously you want to make sure that.
[22:16] We were we where the groundwater was and all of that.
[22:18] So those, those logs are part of that drainage important and provided in there
[22:25] What were you looking for?
[22:26] A depth to.
[22:28] Groundwater is that what you were looking.
[22:30] For, or that's my next question.
[22:31] So
[22:33] .
[22:36] For that webinar.
[22:36] Are you going to hit groundwater?
[22:38] I guess was my question.
[22:39] So we went, yes.
[22:40] So we went exactly.
[22:41] The idea is it's.
[22:42] Basically that you can see we're put at the same elevation as the existing
[22:45] weapon.
[22:46] So that's, that's the idea and then we're feeding it, right?
[22:49] We're actually, if you notice the outlet.
[22:52] After everything's treated actually is right here.
[22:55] Discharges to that wetland application area.
[22:59] And again, as I mentioned in the existing conditions, again, same thing.
[23:03] The site is discharging to the, so we're holding that, like you said, it
[23:07] went from that existing.
[23:09] Stormwater basin to the wetlands were mimicking.
[23:12] You know, the drainage patterns.
[23:15] And required again, we're not flooding, we're not sending more.
[23:17] Right.
[23:17] That's why they have detention system.
[23:19] And the drain board talks about the peak flows and for all the storm
[23:22] events, we're.
[23:23] At a less,
[23:24] but it's, it's pretty close.
[23:25] You know, we're kind of matching what the existing flow to the wetlands is
[23:29] Even with the added areas.
[23:31] Areas,
[23:32] just a question off of that.
[23:35] It looks like it in your.
[23:37] Plan, but is there gonna be like armoring for that, that culvert coming out
[23:42] Yes.
[23:42] Yep.
[23:42] Because right now it kind of just.
[23:45] Ditches through the, yep.
[23:46] So right here, that's showing right here that is that I'm in a wrap
[23:50] flat end section.
[23:51] Yep.
[23:53] To make, to obviously protection, make sure the number, version issues, correct?
[23:57] Yep.
[23:59] And again, all those slopes you're seeing again, if you go back to landscape
[24:01] plan, we have that all seated and stabilized.
[24:06] Yeah.
[24:06] So those do fall.
[24:07] I'm sure that, you know, they fall within the.
[24:10] One 50
[24:11] Shoreland zone.
[24:12] Yep.
[24:12] So.
[24:13] I'm sure there's special requirements that.
[24:16] All DEFRA Kristen on, but we'll get to that.
[24:21] For planting in the
[24:23] Shoreland mm-hmm
[24:27] or fertilizer.
[24:29] Yeah, so
[24:31] so, if you say the I'm sorry, I was trying to pull up the
[24:34] criteria response, cuz I somehow.
[24:36] Misplaced the written version of that.
[24:39] A have 'em.
[24:39] Oh, okay, good.
[24:40] He wanted to fill 'em right up on screen.
[24:41] I can do that when we're ready to do that for both of the
[24:43] criteria for both.
[24:45] We'll do that when, so what was the question?
[24:47] The 150 50 Shortland zone.
[24:49] Yep.
[24:50] I assume there's high end restrictions for working inside of there.
[24:54] As far as
[24:56] so the, the only restrictions.
[25:00] That they
[25:01] the only reason they need a conditional use permit for the Shoreland district is
[25:05] for the presence of the district.
[25:07] So that's limitations on fertilizer.
[25:10] Use
[25:11] and that.
[25:11] So if they're replanting, for example, they'd need a waiver from that criteria.
[25:16] Mm-hmm .
[25:17] Or sorry, waiver from that condition from the planning board.
[25:23] But I don't.
[25:24] Don't it looks like there's some plantings.
[25:27] Plantings
[25:29] a little landscape plan.
[25:31] And then the other one was the imper exceeding 10% impervious cover within the
[25:36] district, which they don't, it doesn't mean within.
[25:39] The one 50,
[25:40] because it's yeah.
[25:41] That's all because the dis quote unquote temporary impacts.
[25:44] Yeah.
[25:45] So the district, yeah, exactly.
[25:50] The the dark line that's there is the Shoreland district.
[25:54] So just the, the
[25:56] plantings this line right here.
[25:57] Mm-hmm thank you.
[25:59] Yep.
[26:02] But they're outside of the 75 foot.
[26:06] Vegetated, but buffer they're outside of.
[26:09] All the other
[26:12] or
[26:13] restrictions.
[26:16] So
[26:17] that Steve slope
[26:20] proposed deep slope seed.
[26:22] Mix over six inches of top soil.
[26:25] That's that zone that has.
[26:28] Bittersweet.
[26:30] Well, I guess that's further back.
[26:32] Maybe we didn't fully inspect that.
[26:35] That area.
[26:37] Yeah,
[26:38] I didn't walk that.
[26:39] That's why I didn't, we didn't get that far out, but it's pretty thick
[26:42] in general.
[26:48] Will that be like, that's a mode.
[26:51] Lawn
[26:52] landscaped area.
[26:53] What is that?
[26:54] No, that would not be, that would just be no.
[26:58] It's
[26:59] I can probably, we probably have details here once you gotta take on what
[27:02] that Cmix, but that's the idea is not to be mowed.
[27:04] No.
[27:06] It's a natural, natural seed mix.
[27:08] Okay,
[27:09] but, but the lawn on like the left.
[27:12] Of the parking lot will be.
[27:14] So there isn't a, I don't, I'm not, there's not an obvious delineation of
[27:17] sort of owed areas versus non.
[27:21] Maintained areas.
[27:22] Yeah.
[27:22] If you go to.
[27:25] You should be a legend here showing the.
[27:32] Go down the hatch legend down here.
[27:45] Okay.
[27:46] So we have
[27:48] this hatch is the really lawn areas, mowing areas.
[27:50] Okay.
[27:51] The other one is the new England, the wetland mix, and then the slope
[27:55] seed mix.
[27:55] So the.
[27:56] Only like lawn area to be maintained.
[27:58] Is this hatch.
[28:00] Okay.
[28:00] Which if we go back to the plan.
[28:03] Is none of the areas we're talking about.
[28:04] What we're talking about here, here, here.
[28:07] The areas within the buffer and all that.
[28:09] That's again, not the natural.
[28:11] CMEX not going to be.
[28:13] Mode, correct.
[28:14] Not gonna be mode and there's details in there.
[28:16] If you want in here, they talk about the seed mixes and.
[28:20] Might be on a detail sheet.
[28:23] That Le that
[28:25] I have a hard time believing that.
[28:27] Left
[28:28] side.
[28:28] Won't also be mowed.
[28:31] That might just be
[28:33] a hatch
[28:34] mistake.
[28:36] Maybe here, but there's no intention down here.
[28:38] There's Frank kind of steep slope stand there's no intention.
[28:41] Pull that down there.
[28:42] Okay.
[28:42] You might be right.
[28:43] Maybe through here.
[28:44] you know, that may come back to us, say they want a nice
[28:47] salon on that side, but yeah, the area we're talking about all back here
[28:51] there's no need on that.
[28:52] Slope and on the back side of that wall to, to do any sure
[28:56] Means means for the line.
[29:03] Anything else.
[29:04] Yeah.
[29:04] I'm still thinking about what you said about, should it be burned or because
[29:08] it's not like a for bay sort of.
[29:11] Thing.
[29:11] I don't, I'm not used to this.
[29:14] I haven't seen one.
[29:14] Design.
[29:14] Like it.
[29:15] That's why I'd ask.
[29:17] Yeah, we, is there any benefit?
[29:19] To not having a separation.
[29:24] Between
[29:25] this zone you're creating and the.
[29:29] Undisturbed area.
[29:31] So there's no planned maintenance of this wetland.
[29:37] Is that right?
[29:37] It's just correct.
[29:38] You're constructing this.
[29:41] And then yep.
[29:42] It's a wetland.
[29:42] Correct.
[29:43] And is made no one's going in is mating for the stormwater, but not
[29:46] for the, for the wetlands.
[29:47] No.
[29:48] Nope.
[29:49] Yeah.
[29:50] Isaiah is the planet.
[29:51] You've obviously, you know, get in the water there and just to let it
[29:54] you know,
[29:55] we obviously showed the plan.
[29:56] You know, we had the.
[29:58] New England splitting the wet seed mix in there.
[30:00] That's it?
[30:01] And the idea is just.
[30:03] You know, give you a, give you a little more wetland area to replicate
[30:06] what we disturbing, but there's no, there's no plan doing to maintain it.
[30:09] Right.
[30:10] And if you did put like a.
[30:11] Berm with like an overflow and that then you would kind of need to
[30:15] you'd have to maintain it, maintain that.
[30:17] Yeah.
[30:17] That structure to any kind of structure.
[30:20] In there that there's a separation, there's some engineered thing in there.
[30:23] Yep.
[30:23] We'd have to put that as pattern that then fall underneath the Stonewater.
[30:28] Meets with the maintenance for the Stonewater.
[30:30] Yep.
[30:30] So I've we figured this was best, cuz it's just.
[30:33] Again, we're just expanding the area of the existing wetlands to replicate and.
[30:39] Just let it, let it go.
[30:40] Right?
[30:41] Let it be.
[30:42] I was a thought.
[30:43] So we tend to see applications where the outlet is at the well and
[30:47] edge.
[30:47] Right.
[30:47] Mm-hmm .
[30:47] And so this one has a human.
[30:51] Created
[30:52] wetland.
[30:53] Before you get to the natural wetland edge.
[30:55] So.
[30:56] You're sort of further away from the natural wetland than you would be otherwise
[31:00] Right.
[31:01] And for like,
[31:03] in my experience, yes.
[31:05] Like typically yeah.
[31:06] The overflow is at the wetland edge.
[31:08] Yeah.
[31:08] Yeah.
[31:10] Okay.
[31:10] And from my experience, we were like doing an actual wet one replication.
[31:14] You want it next to a wetland mm-hmm so it can kind of
[31:18] Migrate mm-hmm
[31:20] that's when you get better success for it, I just haven't seen it.
[31:24] Done like this before.
[31:25] So.
[31:29] It's interesting.
[31:33] Anything else.
[31:33] So we have two applications.
[31:35] The
[31:37] wetland conditional use permit.
[31:40] For the buffer impact and then the Shoreland.
[31:43] Buffer impact.
[31:46] Do we wanna start with the wetland condition?
[31:48] All use.
[31:55] You wanna have the applicant step through the criteria I do, because I think
[31:58] I'm scrolling past it.
[31:59] Right.
[32:00] Okay.
[32:01] Do you want me to pull it up or you want just, I have
[32:02] it printed too.
[32:03] I can just kind of run through it or I can pull up my
[32:05] screen here.
[32:06] Do you wanna just have him run through it verbally?
[32:09] I'm fine with that.
[32:09] What do you guys think?
[32:10] Sure.
[32:11] Yep.
[32:11] All right.
[32:11] So we're doing the, the wetlands one first.
[32:14] And that's the one with the, a criteria, right?
[32:16] So first one, the site proposed use is permitted in the underlining zoning district
[32:21] Yes.Suppose you permitted with an underlying zoning district and it's also an existing use
[32:26] No alternate design, which does not impact a wetland wetland buffer, or which has
[32:30] less detrimental impact on the wetland and wetland buffer is feasible.
[32:34] So again, the.
[32:35] Whole I reason why we're doing this and there's no other place to go
[32:37] with.
[32:37] Additional parking and queuing is unfortunately, two weeks closer to the wetlands and the
[32:42] wetland buffer.
[32:43] So the idea was, you know, we didn't have any other options, obviously on
[32:46] which direction we could go to add the.
[32:49] Additional impervious wetland scientists has provided impact evaluation.
[32:53] That includes the functions and values of the wetlands.
[32:56] Wetlands an assessment of potential project related impacts in.
[32:59] Concluded to the extent feasible.
[33:00] The proposed impact is not judgemental to the value and function of the wetlands
[33:04] or the greater hydraulic.
[33:06] System.
[33:06] So as mentioned, Tom who's here submitted as part of this application, his report
[33:11] So if there's any further questions than that, let me know.
[33:13] But.
[33:15] Basically
[33:17] to the extent practical,
[33:18] next one, number four.
[33:20] Design construction maintenance of, of the proposed use will to the extent feasible, minimize
[33:25] digital impact on the wetland or wetland buffer.
[33:31] Again, I don't, besides my response was just the design proposed features.
[33:36] Features to reduce the extent feasible.
[33:38] So idea is we obviously introduce the retaining wall, right?
[33:41] So that's a cost that you know, that our client has to.
[33:44] Have to the idea of just limiting that grading impact to the buffer and
[33:48] actually allowing us.
[33:50] More area to do that replication area.
[33:52] So again, this, some money being spent, not just replication area, but to make
[33:56] sure that we try to stay you.
[33:58] Know, limit our impacts.
[34:02] Number five.
[34:08] That the proposed use will not create a hazard to individual or public health
[34:12] safety in wetland due to the loss of wetland to the contamination of groundwater
[34:16] or.
[34:16] Other reasons.
[34:19] except exempting.
[34:19] The man-made stormwater basin wetland identified the beginning of the letter for the proposed
[34:24] parking lot.
[34:25] So my understanding was that was not in, even in.
[34:27] The jurisdiction.
[34:28] Correct.
[34:28] So, so yeah, so.
[34:30] We're only buffer.
[34:31] So all work within the buffer area has been designated to avoid direct impacts
[34:34] logistic wetlands with no filling, greeting or alteration occurring within the, we.
[34:38] Wetland itself.
[34:39] The limited buffer disturbance is necessary to accommodate the proposed improvements and we manage
[34:43] through appropriate erosion and salmon controls and stormwater.
[34:47] Management practices as the result project will not adversely affect wetland function, groundwater quality
[34:51] or drainage patterns.
[34:53] No will create hazard to individual.
[34:55] Or public health, safety or welfare accordingly, the proposed use is expected to have
[34:59] only a minor impact on the wetland, buffer wild, fully preserving the adjacent wet
[35:03] Wetland resource.
[35:05] The applicant may propose an increase in wetland buffer elsewhere on the site.
[35:10] That ha that's surrounded wetland of equal or greater size.
[35:13] And of equal or greater function value.
[35:16] Then the impact of Redland the site is too small to propose an increase
[35:18] in a wetland buffer elsewhere, except for we are proposing the one, one and
[35:22] a half to one wetland location.
[35:24] Medication for the filling of the manmade stone motivation.
[35:27] Seven in cases where a proposed use is temporary or construction activity, district evidence
[35:32] adjacent to the immediate use.
[35:33] The applicant has included.
[35:35] Included a restoration proposal.
[35:36] Revegetating any disturbed area within a buffer.
[35:40] With the goal to restore the site as nearly as possible.
[35:43] To the original grade and conditioned following construction.
[35:46] Yes.
[35:47] And that again, parks to the, obviously that replication area where we were showing
[35:50] on the plans.
[35:52] Plans
[35:52] eight.
[35:54] That all required permits shall be obtained.
[35:57] I'm not gonna be the whole thing, basically saying that we're gonna get the
[35:58] state permit.
[36:00] Which we are gonna get state permit again, hasn't been filed yet, but it
[36:02] will be filed shortly.
[36:04] From the DS.
[36:12] Any more questions?
[36:13] Do we have a motion for the wetland conditional use?
[36:24] I'll motion that we have no objections.
[36:26] To the issuance of
[36:28] wetland conditional use permit.
[36:31] I'll second that
[36:35] do we have any discussion?
[36:39] I'm pretty good.
[36:41] All right, so we can vote all those in favor.
[36:44] Of the motions.
[36:45] Aye.
[36:46] Aye.
[36:46] Aye.
[36:47] Aye.Aye.
[36:47] All those opposed
[36:49] the motion passes.
[36:51] Passes for to zero.
[36:52] Thank you.
[36:53] That was just the wet ones.
[36:54] Yep.
[36:54] I know we still shoreline.
[36:55] Right.
[36:55] So now we have Shoreland, which I do have in front of me.
[36:59] Somewhere.
[37:01] You're doing a good job.
[37:02] You can keep running through them.
[37:03] all right.
[37:04] You all set?
[37:05] Keep going.
[37:05] Yeah.
[37:06] Do you have the, the shore.
[37:07] Shoreland in front of you.
[37:08] I do just a through E.
[37:10] Correct?
[37:10] Yep.
[37:10] Yeah, you can just.
[37:12] Circle through 'em sure.
[37:16] The proposed use will not definitly affect the surface water quality of the adjacent
[37:19] river or tributary or otherwise result in unhealthy.
[37:23] Unhelpful conditions
[37:25] pros use will not definitely affect the service water quality.
[37:28] Of the adjacent river at tributary nor result in Hanna falls.
[37:32] To fall unhelpful conditions, the only activities within Shoreland protection district consist of the
[37:36] temporary grading and establishment.
[37:38] Of the wetland replication plannings appropriate erosion, semi controls will be implemented during construction
[37:42] in the completed.
[37:43] Replication will provide vegetation and soil.
[37:46] That will protect water quality and support stormwater infiltration.
[37:50] Pro use will shut no wastewater on site other than the normally discharge by
[37:55] domestic wastewater disposal system and will not.
[37:58] We're not involved onsite storage or disposal of hazardous or toxic waste.
[38:03] As here and defined.
[38:05] The proposed use will not.
[38:07] There's no, basically there's no hazardous to toxic materials that will be stored.
[38:11] Stored
[38:12] or disposed within the shoreline protection jerseys as part of the proposed work, temporary
[38:15] grading and planning activities associated with the weld notification area will not generate.
[38:20] Wastewater
[38:20] or hazardous.
[38:22] Waste streams.
[38:24] The proposal used will not result in undue damage to spawning grounds.
[38:28] Grounds in other wild habitat.
[38:31] The work is limited to the creation and establishment of the wetland application area
[38:34] in associated temporary grading.
[38:36] No impacts are proposed to the adjacent perennial stream.
[38:39] As we know how we talk about how far away we are there.
[38:42] And the replication areas intended to restore and enhance wetland functions and habitat values
[38:47] A command completion of steward and vegetarians will continue to be provide wildlife habitat
[38:51] and ecological benefits within the district.
[38:55] The pros use complies with the use regulations defined.
[38:58] Defined, sorry, identified an article 9.3 0.4.
[39:00] Exodus Shoreland protection district ordinance.
[39:03] Use regulations in all other applicable sections of this article.
[39:08] The proposed use complies with the use regulations of article 9.3 0.4.
[39:13] In all of the applic provisions of article 9.3, the proposed activities are limited
[39:17] to the wetland application in restoration measures necessarily and mitigate proposing facts.
[39:22] Elsewhere on the site, no prohibited uses the structures I proposed within the show
[39:25] and protection district.
[39:27] The last one, the designing construction of the proposed use will be consistent with
[39:30] the intent.
[39:32] Of the purposes set forth in article article 9.3 0.1, Exodus shore land protection
[39:36] district ordinances, authority, and purpose.
[39:38] Designing construction of the pros use are consistent with.
[39:42] The purpose of the shoreline protection district as set forth in article 9.3 0.1
[39:46] closed wetland replication area has been designed to protect water quality.
[39:50] Serve natural resource functions, maintain wildlife habitat and support the long-term ecological health of
[39:56] the adjacent.
[39:57] Stream corridor.
[39:57] The limited temporary disturbance required for implementation will be stabilized and be vegetated.
[40:03] Resulting in restored wetland area, that
[40:05] advances the overall objectives of the district.
[40:10] Thank you.
[40:14] Anything further.
[40:18] Oh motion that we reviewed the short land, conditional use permit application, and are
[40:22] in support of the application as.
[40:24] Proposed
[40:26] second,
[40:29] any discussion.
[40:33] So all those in favor.
[40:35] Aye.
[40:35] Aye.
[40:36] Aye.
[40:36] All those opposed.
[40:38] And the motion passes for.
[40:40] To none.
[40:41] Great.
[40:42] I wish you luck.
[40:44] With the planning board.
[40:44] Thank you very much.
[40:45] Yeah.
[40:45] We have a TRC with them later this month, I think.
[40:48] And then we'll be in front of the board.
[40:50] In the beginning of October, maybe think about right.
[40:53] I think that's right next week's CRC, something like that.
[40:55] So yeah, we'll be in front of thank you very much for your time
[40:57] Thank you.
[40:58] Thank you.
[40:59] Thank you.
[40:59] Are you on the TRC?
[41:00] Kristen?
[41:01] I am.
[41:03] Typically
[41:05] we don't have an application come to you before it's been through TRC.
[41:08] Yeah, that was an error on my part because I didn't realize there was
[41:12] storm water.
[41:13] Such detailed storm water
[41:15] treatment.
[41:16] And so without a town engineer, fully staffed, we like to have Underwood take
[41:21] a look at it.
[41:21] So we sent them to TRC.
[41:23] But it seemed straightforward enough that I figured, and it'll still go.
[41:27] It'll still go.
[41:28] Yeah.
[41:28] Should, should.
[41:30] Something
[41:31] happen with stormwater.
[41:33] Design that increases buffer impacts.
[41:36] You know, it's a risk we'd come back, but I don't think that's likely
[41:43] And moving on forward.
[41:44] It seems like we only have committee reports.
[41:48] Thank you.
[41:49] Just one card in case
[41:51] you wanna talk about reins.
[41:53] Rains.
[41:54] Thank you.
[41:56] Thank you.
[42:01] You wanna talk about rains does keep sure.
[42:03] Either way he's got the shirt on.
[42:06] That's right.
[42:07] I like it.
[42:08] Kristen, go ahead.
[42:09] I'll we I'll I'll I'll join in which it we'll chime in.
[42:12] So
[42:13] at the last meeting.
[42:15] We're doing the boardwalk at the last meeting,
[42:18] I was tasked with doing a doodle poll or such to try to get
[42:22] a sidewalk scheduled.
[42:24] That went down in flames.
[42:25] Didn't get a whole lot of responses.
[42:27] So.
[42:28] My hope is that we, with all of us here together, we could set
[42:31] a date to move that forward.
[42:34] So that there's committee eyes on the site.
[42:37] Before you make choices.
[42:39] I know Keith.
[42:40] Is eager to at least have a go no-go conversation.
[42:44] Iation about that.
[42:46] Exactly.
[42:48] Yeah.
[42:49] I was like, oh, I'll just go out there on my own.
[42:51] Did I.
[42:53] No. I said the same thing and I did not.
[42:56] So.
[42:58] But we need, we need to have one.
[43:00] Correct.
[43:02] That's required.
[43:04] Required.
[43:04] Do we all go in as a quorum?
[43:05] I'm trying to, I don't, I'm not sure.
[43:07] I mean,
[43:08] I, I, I think that's a fair conversation.
[43:10] Not all applications.
[43:12] Come have a sidewalk associated with it.
[43:15] The commission said they want, they wanted to have a site walk to look
[43:18] at the site cuz it was salt.
[43:20] Marsh and yeah.
[43:21] Priority resource area.
[43:22] So in this case, I actually have a similar question about a future project
[43:26] later in on the agenda of your correspondence.
[43:28] But
[43:31] that was my understanding.
[43:33] Okay.
[43:34] That was the wishes of my understanding of the wishes of the board.
[43:41] So we need to make a sidewalk happen.
[43:43] Yeah,
[43:44] I, how do we do that?
[43:47] I think we just pick a.
[43:50] Time, do we want to do it before the next meeting?
[43:55] I think so I'd like that.
[43:57] Yes.
[43:58] If that's possible.
[43:58] Can we just say like,
[44:01] yeah, that's our sidewalk.
[44:02] And if someone else wants to come along and you just gotta post it
[44:05] 24 hours, right?
[44:06] Yeah.
[44:07] Right.
[44:10] So when, what, what works.
[44:13] It's yes.
[44:13] Another applicant comes along and they wanna also want to, we need to do
[44:17] another sidewalk.
[44:19] So I know we have you, you mean the night of the meeting?
[44:23] The night, the meeting.
[44:24] That's what I was thinking.
[44:24] We just do it at, for the October.
[44:27] Meeting.
[44:28] I do know there's a.
[44:31] Sidewalk and a potential second.
[44:34] I think it would, it's a quick walk.
[44:35] Could, I don't know.
[44:36] It seems like maybe you could.
[44:38] Do that another day, but, or we could just up.
[44:41] Yeah.
[44:41] It's, it's pretty,
[44:43] just, it's pretty quick.
[44:44] You go.
[44:45] Do the
[44:46] underpass and
[44:48] through the little wet area and then up on the Upland to the, to
[44:52] the site.
[44:54] And say, all right, this is.
[44:56] With landing was you or what we think it was based on the rocks
[45:00] Rocks the two large rocks that are there.
[45:04] Yeah, you sent the drone video of it.
[45:06] It's pretty cool.
[45:08] Yeah.So that's Joe stag?
[45:08] No, he does awesome work.
[45:10] So.
[45:13] You know, it seems pretty clear that that's where it was based on looking
[45:16] at the situation.
[45:17] So as far as a boardwalk,
[45:19] specifically goes
[45:22] you know, I like Joe's idea, which was, if you get across the 80
[45:26] feet,
[45:27] of wet is muddy area.
[45:30] With hummocks it's wetland.
[45:31] Okay.
[45:32] So with, with planking.
[45:35] And then you're on the Upland and you can go all the way across
[45:37] the Upland to the strip in the grasses, in the river.
[45:41] Or to your left and to the, you know, to the right is the
[45:44] railroad.
[45:45] Track
[45:46] often the distance, and then you.
[45:48] Come to a spot where that there's an opening, there's a little jut out
[45:52] of land.
[45:54] And there's a, a place.
[45:57] Where you could just build
[45:59] a.
[46:00] Observation platform or viewing platform, and it would not require a boardwalk, not require
[46:05] a lot of funds, not require.
[46:07] You know, this is basically the planking over the wet area.
[46:10] You're on the uplands.
[46:11] You can make a, there's sort of a trail there now.
[46:14] And then you come to an area that you can view the river and
[46:18] you could build a.
[46:20] A small platform there and you can see both ways up the river.
[46:22] It's it's very awesome.
[46:24] And you wouldn't be in the grasses.
[46:25] You wouldn't be in the.
[46:28] You know, in the area that you would be boring or any, you know
[46:30] like into.
[46:32] Again, I'm not an expert.
[46:33] Like you guys on the, on the, what's a film.
[46:36] It's not, it's not a marsh, right?
[46:38] It's not a marsh.
[46:38] You're you're, it's, it's an area that's on the edge of.
[46:41] The woods it's on the edge of the woods.
[46:42] Right?
[46:42] And so you have a great spot for a.
[46:45] A viewing platform.
[46:46] So this, you know, this, it kind of avoids the grandiose big boardwalk coming
[46:51] from the.
[46:52] You know, from the under, from the underpass and going all the way out
[46:56] and then out to the directly, out to the.
[46:59] Into the grasses and getting a, a dredge in fill permit and all these
[47:03] types of things.
[47:03] It's just, again, I don't have a ton of experience of.
[47:07] Of the permitting process.
[47:10] In fact none.
[47:11] So
[47:12] you know,
[47:13] I'm not, I just want to get out people out there and say, Hey
[47:16] this is.
[47:18] Cool.What a great spot.
[47:19] What can we do?
[47:20] What can't we do and how do we make it happen?
[47:22] Yeah.
[47:28] Yeah, I think it sounds like it should be separate from right before the
[47:31] meeting.
[47:32] For next time.
[47:32] Yeah.
[47:32] Or could we start earlier?
[47:34] I just worry about, so one of 'em is a.
[47:37] Could could be a complicated.
[47:40] Application.
[47:44] So I just worry about fitting it.
[47:46] Fitting three potential's three.
[47:48] Is there some time in the interim?
[47:50] Let's just do some other time then.
[47:51] Do we want to do a Tuesday?
[47:56] Yeah.
[47:56] I mean that narrows it.
[47:57] So.
[47:59] I'm available Tuesday I can do, can you do a Tuesday?
[48:02] Mm-hmm .
[48:06] So Tuesday the 15th.
[48:09] Is that what we're
[48:11] next Tuesday?
[48:12] Yeah, the 15th.
[48:17] I could do next Tuesday.
[48:18] Depends on the time.
[48:19] Yeah.
[48:19] If it's at five.
[48:21] You tell me
[48:23] .
[48:23] Yeah.
[48:24] That work.
[48:25] Yeah, I just can't do earlier.
[48:27] So yeah, Tuesday at five.
[48:29] Okay, do it.
[48:32] Put the word out to the others.
[48:34] You're making it in the calendar.
[48:36] Yeah.Great.
[48:36] Great.
[48:39] 5:00 PM.
[48:41] Five to five 30.
[48:44] We'll be five to six, Jessica.
[48:45] Yeah.
[48:46] Do five to six.
[48:49] Yeah, this there's quite a few.
[48:52] What I would call choices.
[48:55] To be made.
[48:58] There are you just made it seem very simple though?
[49:01] that's well, I mean, somebody might say, all right, well, we come.
[49:05] Out of the underpass and go this way and it's, you know, a little
[49:07] longer, but it's more direct or we go straight across and there's less impact
[49:11] on the wetlands or we go.
[49:13] Take a jog to the left and, and there's a high spot.
[49:15] And then we, you know, avoid a little bit there.
[49:16] So there's some discussion there.
[49:18] It does seem like the, you want to do direct crossings and.
[49:21] Stick to the Upland.
[49:24] Yes.
[49:24] You're your closest spot, right?
[49:26] So that's our avoidance and minimization, right?
[49:29] So the plan for the planking would just be to the only thing that
[49:32] would be touching would be four by four is so the planking would be
[49:35] 12 foot.
[49:37] Two boards four by four is underneath.
[49:39] So the only thing that would be touching the, the wetland would be the
[49:42] four by fours and there would be eight feet of those for every section
[49:45] And it requires
[49:48] wires,
[49:49] probably six.
[49:51] Or seven sections, depending on what we do.
[49:54] Eight foot eight times six, seven.
[49:56] So you'd be have, yeah, you'd have that much.
[49:58] Touching
[50:01] the
[50:03] impact area.
[50:05] You,
[50:05] but you're saying, is it flagged right now?
[50:07] If we go out.
[50:09] No, no, it's it's but there's, you know, it's been walked on so that
[50:13] it's been walked on there.
[50:14] The ferns are.
[50:15] Parted.And it's very clear as to what then once you get to the Upland
[50:18] part.
[50:20] There really is, is
[50:21] not.
[50:22] Like we saw today, overgrown, you know, like there's not a ton of bittersweet
[50:26] and there's not like a.
[50:28] The multi-floor rose or any of that.
[50:30] So it's pretty.
[50:31] Navigable.
[50:32] Nice.
[50:36] Sounds like we have a date.
[50:38] Do you need anything further on that?
[50:41] Nope.
[50:44] Great.
[50:45] Sticking with rains.
[50:47] Rains.
[50:47] All right.
[50:47] They assume that's the next one, right?
[50:50] The sure.
[50:50] Betsy Ross.
[50:53] Yeah.
[50:53] So we do have a flag that was donated.
[50:58] To
[51:00] from the customs house in Newbury, port of Betsy Ross flag, do we wanted
[51:03] to hang inside the barn for the show?
[51:06] For the art show.
[51:07] Oh, take it.
[51:07] We can take it down after that.
[51:10] But it's, it's very awesome.
[51:11] It's 12 by.
[51:13] 18 feet.
[51:14] So it's huge.
[51:16] And so, you know, picture that, covering that wall.
[51:19] That'll be put on the right hand side, just as a.
[51:22] Sort of a bonus for the two 50th for the.
[51:26] Art show coming up on the 26th.
[51:29] Should be good to interior area.
[51:31] Don't know why I was reading the, yeah, the exterior.
[51:34] Yeah, I'm gonna put it on the interior.
[51:38] Are there other interior?
[51:40] Requests.
[51:41] Oh, so
[51:43] the other interior request is that we're going, there's currently a flag Hener hanging
[51:47] in the center of the barn.
[51:48] We're gonna take that down.
[51:49] It's very nice flag, but it's.
[51:51] It's
[51:52] it's covering the
[51:55] Hayfork.
[51:56] Hayfork, which is in, in the ceiling and the rafters.
[51:59] Right.
[51:59] So we're gonna illuminate that.
[52:01] So that it's sort of highlighted as you, as you come in and look
[52:04] at it.
[52:04] It's huge.
[52:05] You can't see it.
[52:06] Cause it's dark up there.
[52:08] You know, and the other lights are below it.
[52:10] So you're kind of looking into lights and you're like,
[52:12] I think I see it, but if you get a flashlight, if we're gonna
[52:15] so we have a.
[52:16] A cupped
[52:18] spotlight.
[52:19] That will
[52:20] run.
[52:21] Down and, and plug into the outlet right below it.
[52:24] And we'll turn that off and on when we're in, in the barn and
[52:27] take it off, you know, turn it off when we're out.
[52:29] So.
[52:30] I think that will be.
[52:32] Pretty cool to take a look at that fork, which is.
[52:35] Pretty big
[52:36] it, you know, it's the one they, that they reeled up and.
[52:39] Put the, the bales up on, in the very third floor up there.
[52:42] So.
[52:43] Huh.
[52:45] .Yeah, I dunno.
[52:47] Cool.
[52:48] Yeah, that's pretty, pretty neat about that at all.
[52:49] Yeah.
[52:51] So you need a motion for the flag or anything.
[52:54] No just if the board is supportive,
[52:56] great.
[52:59] In case we trust.
[53:00] Yeah.
[53:00] ,
[53:01] don't say that.
[53:03] Okay.
[53:04] Very good.
[53:05] And, but it is important decisions are made by.
[53:08] Yeah.
[53:08] Yeah, no, I appreciate that.
[53:09] Thank you.
[53:10] Yeah.
[53:11] It's a very awesome flag.
[53:12] I looked it up as like, it's a lot of money for those types
[53:15] of flags.
[53:16] I had no idea
[53:17] and it's just unknown.
[53:18] We're not keeping it.
[53:20] No, it was given to us given we can, we can find the spot
[53:22] for it if it doesn't work in the long term.
[53:24] But I, I would, I think once you see it, you'll be impressed.
[53:28] Yeah.
[53:28] Yeah.
[53:28] And we're going to keep it there.
[53:30] I mean, we don't know, we don't have to it's up to this board
[53:32] to figure out what they want to do after the art show.
[53:35] I'm just worried.
[53:36] About
[53:37] if it's worth a lot of money.
[53:38] Yeah.
[53:39] Like degrading, well it's given to us, so it's for it's free.
[53:42] It is covered.
[53:43] You know, it is inside.
[53:45] Okay.
[53:45] I don't think any rodents will eat it.
[53:47] I don't know.
[53:47] You never know in that place, but it's.
[53:51] Again, this get, you know, to the, to the core of this.
[53:53] Yeah.
[53:53] Is that if, if the more we.
[53:56] Use the barn, right?
[53:57] The less of that type of issue we'll have.
[53:59] So.
[54:01] There are bats, a couple of bats living in there.
[54:03] There's guano on the, on the floor occasionally and there are no longer any
[54:07] pigeons in there.
[54:08] So.
[54:09] Thanks for Kristen.
[54:10] so.
[54:14] Speaking of events and keeping it busy art in the barn.
[54:20] Yes.
[54:21] Do you have, you have a, you have a.
[54:25] A painting.
[54:26] I didn't bring one.
[54:27] So we've been receiving that looks nice.
[54:29] A lot of submissions.
[54:31] Really nice.
[54:32] Yep.
[54:33] Riverwood.
[54:34] I, I wanna say we're up to like 20.
[54:37] Maybe yeah, 20.
[54:38] And then I just got three more today.
[54:39] So 23 and then I know some folks here.
[54:42] Yeah.
[54:43] I just turned two of 'em in.
[54:44] Okay.
[54:45] Beverly has a dozen, at least great
[54:47] people are really excited about it.
[54:49] So I'll just show the one, one that was dropped off today.
[54:53] Oh, nice.
[54:53] You're not great.
[54:54] Some of them highlight that's strong.
[54:56] Some of them are, you know, just colorful and vibrant and beautiful others are
[55:00] you know,
[55:01] simple and line drawings and I just love how diverse all of it is
[55:06] but the event.
[55:08] As we talked about was September 26th.
[55:11] Keith and Beverly
[55:13] and Michelle have been hard at work, trying to.
[55:17] They met once, right.
[55:18] To talk about the logistics.
[55:21] Logistics for the event day.
[55:23] Beverly's been attaching.
[55:25] Hooks to the back of these so that they could be hung in the
[55:28] barn.
[55:28] Yep.
[55:28] There's plenty in a uniform.
[55:30] You should talk about that.
[55:30] yeah.
[55:31] In a uniform manner.
[55:31] Yeah.
[55:32] So she, you know, put the little screws.
[55:33] Screws in and then a wire.
[55:34] So they all hang.
[55:36] Hang nicely.
[55:37] There were some boards in the barn that were.
[55:40] I think they were won by eights.
[55:42] Eights.
[55:42] And we, we put those, you know, cleaned them off and put 'em up
[55:46] at eye level.
[55:47] Two, so it's wide.
[55:48] So we have a, a way to go and display them all there's room
[55:52] for like 110 mm-hmm .
[55:54] And there we could go around.
[55:56] And take those little signs that are there.
[55:59] That explain about the barn, move those temporarily.
[56:00] And there's another spot there.
[56:01] We can put another.
[56:04] 30 probably if that's the case.
[56:05] So we should be in good shape.
[56:07] So, what needs to be done from here is, is more, you know, that
[56:11] that room needs to be cleaned.
[56:14] We need to
[56:16] work on the reception.
[56:19] For the artist
[56:20] and we need to.
[56:23] You know, get the submissions, right.
[56:24] Get all the wires on and get everything.
[56:27] Hung up in the, in the week proceeding.
[56:29] And they had recently
[56:32] hayed again, which made the, the grass.
[56:35] Shorter.
[56:36] So that makes it good for parking.
[56:38] If if needed
[56:40] and
[56:41] what else should we discuss about that?
[56:44] That's an awesome painting.
[56:46] So the plan is we'll do an artist reception.
[56:50] Before the event for an hour and then a quick break and then open
[56:53] it up to the public from one to four.
[56:56] We'll need support for cleaning in advance for.
[57:00] Probably hanging the, you know,
[57:02] the paintings
[57:04] that morning before the artist's reception, Michelle volunteered to get some.
[57:08] Pastries.
[57:09] I think Beverly had talked about cocoa and coffee.
[57:13] Yeah.
[57:13] And tea and tea.
[57:15] Yeah.
[57:17] Yeah,
[57:18] so
[57:19] any and all help would be appreciated.
[57:21] I think, yeah, I could definitely help set up that morning.
[57:24] Okay.
[57:25] Great.
[57:25] Thank you.
[57:27] And just let me know.
[57:28] Yeah, no, I'll if there's other stuff.
[57:29] Yeah.
[57:30] Yep.
[57:31] So also I should mention that Michelle was able to, to
[57:34] get the sign at Foy insurance mm-hmm for the week proceedings.
[57:39] So.
[57:39] Saying, you know, art in the barn, rains barn.
[57:42] 26th.
[57:43] Oh, nice of September.
[57:44] So that's a very.
[57:46] Helpful thing.
[57:46] I mean that a lot of people see that.
[57:49] So that'll be good.
[57:50] So.
[57:51] We've had a lot of.
[57:55] You know, just talking to people.
[57:56] Good comments about, oh, I'm excited about, you know, I wanna see what this
[57:59] is and.
[58:00] And so we encourage everybody to, to come out and, and support.
[58:05] This event and support the barn.
[58:08] So one of the, the, the methods that I think we should.
[58:11] Discuss is probably,
[58:13] you know,
[58:14] a payment system about, you know, is it just gonna be.
[58:18] Cash or checked, cuz I, I was in Stillwells.
[58:22] Stillwells yesterday.
[58:23] and I saw a six and a seven year old paying with a
[58:26] card.
[58:27] And the seven year old was figuring out how to tip.
[58:31] And I was impressed with that.
[58:32] So things have.
[58:34] Have changed since I was a kid, I guess .
[58:36] So
[58:37] it was pretty cool to see him navigate that whole deal at age seven
[58:43] So I, I don't know.
[58:44] I, I I'm, I'm asking, I don't know what, what.
[58:48] Is there a, another way to it's good.
[58:50] That's a good thing to talk about.
[58:51] Yeah, I don't, I don't really know.
[58:53] The town doesn't have a Venmo system.
[58:56] Right.
[58:59] check or cash.
[59:00] Okay.
[59:01] Any donations over a hundred dollars, we need to offer a receipt.
[59:05] Yep.
[59:06] Can we do a Venmo?
[59:08] You, we did a, I sneak.
[59:11] We didn't do it that.
[59:16] Yes, we could just see how it goes.
[59:18] You know.
[59:19] Okay.
[59:19] I do have a Venmo, I guess if it came down to it, maybe
[59:23] We could use it.
[59:24] I don't have permission to do something like that, but.
[59:28] Yeah.
[59:30] Yeah, like not
[59:32] I'm trying to skirt the wall, but could they Venmo me and then right
[59:36] Donate mean the beauty of that, the beauty of Venmo going to an in
[59:40] Individual person is you do have a official record of transactions.
[59:45] So there's.
[59:47] There's no way to sort of doctor that up.
[59:49] Right from that
[59:50] Venmo, right?
[59:51] Yeah.
[59:51] But, but I do know
[59:53] in conversations.
[59:56] For associated with the 250th, they were hoping for Venmo and they were told
[1:00:00] town doesn't have such a thing.
[1:00:02] So.
[1:00:04] I think we'll just have to work it out day of, and.
[1:00:07] Okay.
[1:00:07] Go from there.
[1:00:08] Yeah.
[1:00:10] And hopefully people, I think we need checks or cash.
[1:00:13] I think we need.
[1:00:15] I would
[1:00:16] think we would want to incorporate it into some messaging.
[1:00:19] If, if we're not taking credit cards.
[1:00:22] Cards then people need to know that mm-hmm ahead of time.
[1:00:25] Mm-hmm .
[1:00:27] Cause, yeah, people, people are gonna generally show up the expectation.
[1:00:30] Yes.
[1:00:30] We're not gonna might not show up with cash or cards, right.
[1:00:33] Or checks.
[1:00:35] Checks, they might just have a credit card.
[1:00:37] So that could
[1:00:41] could slow the sails down.
[1:00:44] Venmo could be a help.
[1:00:47] Yes.
[1:00:48] Is there another method?
[1:00:50] That I'm, I don't know, not familiar with, could accept.
[1:00:53] Is there a business that we could partner with?
[1:00:57] Who could
[1:00:59] just thinking that art association or.
[1:01:03] Yeah, I mean,
[1:01:06] Sarah has, do you have a sponsor for you?
[1:01:08] I think Sarah has square and we could.
[1:01:12] but then again the same kind of thing.
[1:01:14] Yeah.
[1:01:14] And there's fees associated with that as well?
[1:01:17] Yes, there are.
[1:01:18] Yeah,
[1:01:20] right.
[1:01:21] Mm-hmm is there, is there a fee associated with Venmo?
[1:01:25] No, no, I don't not, not there.
[1:01:27] There can be a like commercial levels, but not the,
[1:01:31] not the typical personal yeah.
[1:01:32] Okay.
[1:01:35] Okay.
[1:01:36] Well, we just, why it's a good thing.
[1:01:37] Yeah.
[1:01:38] We should try to work on the details of that.
[1:01:41] If the cash or check should be.
[1:01:43] Definitely promoted, but
[1:01:45] maybe we could say cash or check.
[1:01:48] Preferred or yeah.
[1:01:51] Okay.
[1:01:53] They couldn't come in here to the city, like the next.
[1:01:56] Week and
[1:01:58] pay with the credit card, somewhere situation complicated.
[1:02:01] Okay.
[1:02:01] All right.
[1:02:01] Yeah, that would like give him a voucher or something.
[1:02:04] That'd be tough.
[1:02:05] Okay.
[1:02:05] All right.
[1:02:06] That.
[1:02:06] Could be a thing though.
[1:02:07] You like reserve one, you put the, I know that's what, like.
[1:02:12] At art openings.
[1:02:14] Openings.If someone wants to buy something.
[1:02:17] They can like say I'm gonna buy this.
[1:02:19] And then they put a sticker on it and says
[1:02:21] it's purchased.
[1:02:23] But they don't want to like take, have them, everybody run away with the
[1:02:27] art right now.
[1:02:28] Cuz you want people to be able to see the art.
[1:02:31] This is, do you know what I mean?
[1:02:32] This is a good
[1:02:33] if, if right, if you have these people come and say, oh yeah, I'm
[1:02:37] taking that.
[1:02:37] And that, and that, and that.
[1:02:39] And they walk out in the first 20 minutes, then you just lost your
[1:02:42] the 10 best.
[1:02:43] Well, we did say, oh, that's a good point.
[1:02:45] The art would remain through the end of the event.
[1:02:47] Through the end of the event.
[1:02:48] Yep.
[1:02:48] Okay.
[1:02:50] Yeah.So that's, that's a good idea.
[1:02:51] And just so you could have a way where someone says I'm gonna buy
[1:02:55] it, I'm gonna buy this and I'll pay a.
[1:02:58] Check next week and we say, okay, but I don't know.
[1:03:01] Yeah.
[1:03:01] That how that would work.
[1:03:02] That might be okay.
[1:03:03] I don't know that.
[1:03:05] Hm.
[1:03:06] Ideally it would be cash or check at the event.
[1:03:09] Yes.
[1:03:09] Yeah.
[1:03:10] Like when they, I mean, they can look at it in the morning, say
[1:03:12] I want it.
[1:03:14] Kick cash, come back.
[1:03:14] Go home.
[1:03:15] Yeah, I guess they could just come back.
[1:03:16] Okay.
[1:03:17] Yeah.
[1:03:17] All right, Adam, I'm not trying to make it complicated, but no, no, no
[1:03:20] That's a good point.
[1:03:21] And we could, we could.
[1:03:22] I will double check with Corey to see if there's a way that I
[1:03:25] could.
[1:03:26] Collect it through Venmo.
[1:03:28] Yeah.
[1:03:29] I don't think I can.
[1:03:30] And you know, it's not getting dark until six 30.
[1:03:33] We could stay a little later.
[1:03:34] If people wanted to come, I would be glad to stay a little later
[1:03:36] and have people can come back a little, you know, after.
[1:03:39] Afterwards and, and bring a check or whatever, you know, and.
[1:03:43] Flexible with that for sure.
[1:03:45] Okay.
[1:03:47] Or if they can't take 'em till the end of the event and they
[1:03:51] don't want to stay, I don't know how, how long has the event.
[1:03:54] One to four, one to four, I guess it's not that long.
[1:03:57] No.
[1:04:00] We'll figure that out.
[1:04:01] Yeah.
[1:04:02] I said, if we could stay a little longer, if they want to say
[1:04:04] oh, I'll open to Oklahoma, come back, whatever.
[1:04:06] Yeah.
[1:04:06] You know, so, okay.
[1:04:08] Is there a plan for leftovers?
[1:04:11] Leftovers
[1:04:12] the food.
[1:04:13] No, no, the, I know I'm kidding.
[1:04:15] I know so there was talk of having some sort of crap of
[1:04:19] Follow up craft fair.
[1:04:20] Beverly had mentioned that.
[1:04:21] Yes.
[1:04:21] So she'd discussed around Christmas time or November.
[1:04:25] Thanks Thanksgiving area.
[1:04:27] Of piece of art to give sort of another opportunity for people to buy
[1:04:31] as you get closer to the holidays, maybe with the, yeah, with the.
[1:04:35] Holiday celebration downtown.
[1:04:37] Yeah.
[1:04:38] Okay.
[1:04:38] Yeah.
[1:04:38] So there there's some.
[1:04:40] Discussion of having sort of a craft fair.
[1:04:43] In the barn type of thing.
[1:04:44] Mm-hmm, like, you know, like they have it CMS or one of these
[1:04:47] types of events and then keep, take the.
[1:04:51] The art as part of that and with, you know, selling like.
[1:04:56] Soap or corn bags or pot holders or what, you know, the right various
[1:05:00] ephemera.
[1:05:02] So.
[1:05:04] Which would mean another event at the barn.
[1:05:07] Yes.
[1:05:07] Oh, wow.
[1:05:07] Yes.
[1:05:09] Keeps on giving.
[1:05:11] In
[1:05:12] any other committee reports?
[1:05:14] I feel like we haven't heard.
[1:05:18] Just a couple items.
[1:05:19] So tomorrow I think you all have received a couple emails from me about
[1:05:25] a.
[1:05:25] A walk
[1:05:26] at the river, run community at five 30 to take a look at the
[1:05:31] Riverbank restoration project.
[1:05:32] It's kind of a cool opportunity to.
[1:05:35] See
[1:05:36] kind of a hybrid living shoreline constructed shoreline project.
[1:05:41] In process.
[1:05:43] And so if you remember a wetland application came to you, mm-hmm , there
[1:05:46] were bank failures along the Exeter river shoreline.
[1:05:51] And so they secured some grant funding, a mix of private.
[1:05:55] Funding and they're putting a pretty complicated and.
[1:05:58] Detailed
[1:05:59] riverbank restoration project together.
[1:06:01] So.
[1:06:02] They invited
[1:06:03] planning board conservation commission river study committee.
[1:06:06] To
[1:06:07] and Exeter squam Scott local advisory committee to take a look at the site
[1:06:13] Great.
[1:06:13] As far as I know, there's no rain, cancellations
[1:06:16] prepared or planned.
[1:06:18] Weather looks pretty good tomorrow.
[1:06:19] Okay.
[1:06:19] It's cloudy.
[1:06:20] So,
[1:06:21] so it should be a go.
[1:06:23] We're gonna meet at the community center.
[1:06:26] And then the other thing, there has been some progress on the pickpocket dam
[1:06:30] If you.
[1:06:32] So there, I think in the final design stages, they got the results of
[1:06:36] the.
[1:06:37] Phase one archeological investigation.
[1:06:39] And I believe we're starting phase two.
[1:06:41] So if you have not, the there's a website dedicated to it, but if
[1:06:45] you.
[1:06:45] Have not checked in with the pickpocket
[1:06:47] dam project.
[1:06:48] It might be interesting for you to.
[1:06:51] Take a look at that website.
[1:06:54] Is Trevor been going to this?
[1:06:56] Yep.
[1:06:56] Yeah.
[1:06:57] Yeah.
[1:06:57] Trevor's participated.
[1:07:00] And then the tree committee.
[1:07:01] We have a grant to plant 28 trees over the next two years, we
[1:07:05] had.
[1:07:06] 15 sites
[1:07:07] marked out and dig saved.
[1:07:09] So we'll be able to plant those this year.
[1:07:11] Great.
[1:07:12] So some great progress there.
[1:07:13] We're focus.
[1:07:14] Focusing on front street on the far end of front street.
[1:07:21] And then
[1:07:23] yeah.
[1:07:23] And that's it.
[1:07:24] I had other stuff up for correspondence, but that's later in the agenda.
[1:07:28] And the September 25th, is there still room in that plan?
[1:07:32] Reading?
[1:07:33] Seminar.
[1:07:34] Oh, probably I'm not hosting the seminar.
[1:07:36] Right.
[1:07:36] I suspect so.
[1:07:37] Okay.
[1:07:37] Yeah.
[1:07:38] We, I, I think.
[1:07:42] I don't know if I, I thought I heard someone had registered to okay
[1:07:47] So if, if you do want to register, go ahead and then send me
[1:07:50] the receipt.
[1:07:50] I'll get you reimbursed.
[1:07:51] Okay.
[1:07:51] There's enough funds left
[1:07:53] in the budget.
[1:07:54] Con com budget.
[1:07:55] Even if people do attend the N H a C C annual meeting.
[1:07:59] So.
[1:08:06] There was talk at the.
[1:08:09] Somewhat recent select board meeting.
[1:08:11] I don't know if anyone was there or listened to it.
[1:08:14] About creating this
[1:08:15] pedestrian.
[1:08:18] Bike.
[1:08:19] Accessibility committee.
[1:08:22] Safety committee mm-hmm to try to improve.
[1:08:26] Pedestrian access mm-hmm .
[1:08:29] But they didn't actually create the committee.
[1:08:33] But it might be created at a future date.
[1:08:35] Talking about the pros and cons.
[1:08:37] Yeah of another subcommittee and.
[1:08:41] Maybe taking another look at all of the committees and.
[1:08:46] To not spread resources too thin.
[1:08:49] Cuz town has a lot of committees and subcommittees.
[1:08:53] Subcommittees.Yeah.And one thing that struck me in that conversation, which I didn't fully.
[1:08:57] Realize, but I, I guess it makes obvious obvious when I say it here
[1:09:01] is that.
[1:09:02] There's town staff.
[1:09:04] And select board.
[1:09:05] Who's not here tonight, but the select board goes to all of these.
[1:09:09] I mean, I can't imagine being the select board.
[1:09:12] Member and having to go to the select board meetings, which are every other
[1:09:15] week, but then it's four nights to go to two other yeah.
[1:09:18] Committee meetings.
[1:09:20] Meetings.Right.
[1:09:21] And they seemed pretty intent on.
[1:09:24] Not creating sort of
[1:09:27] more
[1:09:29] committees that are not under the purview of that.
[1:09:33] Sort of framework, which makes sense to connect everybody and.
[1:09:37] It's it's, it's a lot of work.
[1:09:38] It's it makes it the limit.
[1:09:41] It's tough because a lot of times.
[1:09:43] I shouldn't say a lot of times, but quite a few times, there's not
[1:09:45] a quorum.
[1:09:47] Quorum.
[1:09:47] So there's
[1:09:48] you don't the meeting is canceled, right?
[1:09:50] So.
[1:09:52] But that's not really known until sometimes the day before.
[1:09:56] Like, or the, you know, and so I've, or the, a couple days before
[1:10:00] So that makes it
[1:10:03] tough on everybody's schedule, you know, especially town staff and, and select board.
[1:10:08] Representatives that's, that's kind of how I read into it that I was like
[1:10:12] well, they're already go, you know,
[1:10:15] doing something some up to four nights a week.
[1:10:20] The select board reps.
[1:10:21] And then, you know, you know what I mean?
[1:10:23] You got a calendar and then it gets, yeah, it gets canceled.
[1:10:26] And if it gets canceled two months in a row,
[1:10:30] stuff builds up and you know what I mean?
[1:10:31] There's, there's, it's not efficient.
[1:10:34] For getting stuff done in a timely basis.
[1:10:38] So
[1:10:39] I think that was part of the concern as well.
[1:10:45] That's all.
[1:10:45] I just wanted to mention as.
[1:10:51] Do we want to go into the approval of minutes and then do correspondence
[1:10:54] or sounds.
[1:10:57] I went through.
[1:11:00] I forgot last meeting was.
[1:11:05] After the fact.
[1:11:05] Okay.
[1:11:07] Oh, goodness.
[1:11:07] Yes, it was.
[1:11:09] Yeah, August 11th.
[1:11:14] I didn't see anything of note.
[1:11:17] Anyone else did
[1:11:19] I didn't either.
[1:11:21] I didn't.
[1:11:28] Sounds good.
[1:11:29] He does a great job.
[1:11:30] My name is spelled with one N but.
[1:11:32] I'm not gonna lose sleep over it.
[1:11:40] So
[1:11:41] do we motion for this?
[1:11:42] So yeah, you should motion.
[1:11:44] Sidewalk and meeting minutes separate.
[1:11:48] Was there a sidewalk?
[1:11:52] Was there a sidewalk meeting minutes that I missed.
[1:11:55] Yes, there were
[1:11:59] okay, so we'll do the meeting minutes.
[1:12:02] A motion to approve the meeting minutes as, as drafted.
[1:12:06] From August 11.
[1:12:09] Second.
[1:12:11] Any discussion.
[1:12:13] All those in favor.
[1:12:14] Aye.
[1:12:14] Aye.
[1:12:14] Aye.
[1:12:15] All those opposed.
[1:12:17] Motion passes forward.
[1:12:20] O, and then for the state walk,
[1:12:24] any
[1:12:26] edits or discussion on that, on those meeting minutes.
[1:12:31] Nope.
[1:12:32] No, a motion to approve.
[1:12:34] I'll second.
[1:12:34] It.
[1:12:36] All those in favor and say, aye.
[1:12:38] Aye.
[1:12:38] Aye.
[1:12:39] All those opposed.
[1:12:39] Aye.
[1:12:41] Motion passes.
[1:12:43] Asses correspondence.
[1:12:45] So I, I had
[1:12:48] one thing, one
[1:12:50] I guess inquiry from an applicant.
[1:12:53] So we have
[1:12:55] Unitil has a utility line corridor project.
[1:12:59] That
[1:13:00] is within a, an existing corridor.
[1:13:02] It goes from drink water road through the academy property up toward like the
[1:13:08] Gil Gilman lane.
[1:13:09] Mm-hmm .
[1:13:10] And then there's an additional extension that crosses that spans the river and then
[1:13:15] connects to it also on academy property.
[1:13:19] And
[1:13:20] we typically don't do sidewalks for.
[1:13:23] Power line projects.
[1:13:25] Projects, but they wanted me to confirm that you, we wouldn't get there that
[1:13:29] night and that you would wanna sidewalk before taking action on the application, which
[1:13:33] I think is a.
[1:13:34] Fair request.
[1:13:35] I think most of the utility line projects that.
[1:13:38] We review have been in the town forest.
[1:13:40] So you're all probably pretty familiar with the location anyway.
[1:13:44] But or rains farm.
[1:13:45] So.
[1:13:47] I guess just an inquiry as to whether you feel.
[1:13:51] That a site visit to something like that would be helpful.
[1:13:56] And if, so
[1:13:57] we would add that.
[1:13:59] Prior to the meeting.
[1:14:04] Concerned about a specific area.
[1:14:07] I feel like linear projects are often.
[1:14:09] Large.
[1:14:10] And that's where we go.
[1:14:11] Two sidewalks.
[1:14:12] Sidewalks?
[1:14:13] No. I mean, so it's, so the corridor that goes from drink, water road
[1:14:18] Up toward,
[1:14:20] I'm pretty sure it's Gilman lane, but the Northern DEA. Huh?
[1:14:24] Two P like behind the field.
[1:14:25] Yeah.
[1:14:25] Through pea.
[1:14:26] Yeah.
[1:14:26] That's going
[1:14:27] that.
[1:14:29] A portion of that is, does have an AC an access road developed mm-hmm
[1:14:33] the other one, the access road is grown in and so they wanna
[1:14:36] re.
[1:14:37] Reestablish it much like they did in the town forest.
[1:14:41] So, you know,
[1:14:44] that's one section and then the other.
[1:14:47] Sort of connection to the west.
[1:14:49] Across the river,
[1:14:51] it trips both a Shoreland.
[1:14:53] And a
[1:14:54] wetland conditional use permit.
[1:14:56] So, but there's a variety of places of the, of those buffer impacts throughout
[1:15:01] both.
[1:15:03] Corridors.
[1:15:11] I'm happy with that.
[1:15:12] Say visit
[1:15:13] no site visit.
[1:15:14] Yeah, I don't, I don't think that's okay.
[1:15:17] Unless they're planning on
[1:15:19] filling, but I feel like utility projects usually don't fill a wetlands by.
[1:15:26] I, I can confirm that.
[1:15:28] I, I don't think so.
[1:15:29] I mean, there's some PO like there might be minor, Phil.
[1:15:33] If a poll moves, for example.
[1:15:35] Yeah.
[1:15:35] I just meant like, but work area, like they're using timber mats.
[1:15:38] Yeah.
[1:15:38] It's
[1:15:39] temporary impacts for most of it with timber, Matt.
[1:15:41] Matting, they're doing
[1:15:43] a culvert replacement.
[1:15:44] I think in two locations.
[1:15:47] Locations
[1:15:48] so that the access road can pass wetland.
[1:15:51] Sections.
[1:15:54] But nothing, not like a major weather and fill associated with it.
[1:15:57] For sure.
[1:15:59] Okay.
[1:16:00] Yeah.
[1:16:00] In my experience, the only time we've done site visits or that I do
[1:16:03] site visits for utility projects, when we do a standard judgment.
[1:16:07] Fill mm-hmm .
[1:16:09] That doesn't really sound like that's the case for this one.
[1:16:11] That's a good policy.
[1:16:15] Yeah, I'm good with that.
[1:16:17] Great.
[1:16:18] And then the second one is sort of not correspondence, but I have another
[1:16:23] I guess I should have brought it up under other.
[1:16:25] Business.
[1:16:25] But many meetings ago, we talked about sort of honoring honoring conservation commission.
[1:16:31] Members who have served 10 or more years and we were going to do
[1:16:35] Recognition on the benches out at rains, but in thinking about that, you know
[1:16:40] just being exposed to the elements, all of that just didn't quite make.
[1:16:43] Sense.
[1:16:43] So
[1:16:44] we created a board to recognize those members and I'd love to have this
[1:16:48] posted at rains or.
[1:16:52] Or potentially here in the town office building.
[1:16:54] I think having it at rains is a little more.
[1:16:57] Like con calm,
[1:16:58] specific.
[1:16:59] So,
[1:17:00] but.
[1:17:02] I just wanted to get your thoughts on that, where you'd like, ultimately for
[1:17:05] that to go.
[1:17:09] If hanging it rains makes sense.
[1:17:10] Or if you wanna consider something more formal, like the town office.
[1:17:17] I think rain.
[1:17:18] I like rain Oaklands.
[1:17:19] No, yeah, yeah,
[1:17:21] yeah.
[1:17:23] On.
[1:17:23] The back of it.
[1:17:26] no.
[1:17:27] I think rains is perfect.
[1:17:28] Okay.
[1:17:29] Yeah.
[1:17:30] I like that.
[1:17:31] Great.
[1:17:32] What's what's Andrew at Andrew.
[1:17:35] I think I'm at 10.
[1:17:36] Oh yeah.
[1:17:36] Yep.
[1:17:37] Nice.
[1:17:38] And then I sort of preemptively.
[1:17:40] So.
[1:17:42] Doug Eastman actually put this together.
[1:17:44] I'm not a detail person.
[1:17:46] so I couldn't have like, Doug did it.
[1:17:47] All of this.
[1:17:49] Equally spaced and all of that.
[1:17:50] So I'm very thankful to his effort in that process.
[1:17:54] Some of some names were preemptively added, so they.
[1:17:57] Have to stay on the board another year, but oh
[1:18:00] yeah.
[1:18:01] But it, it, it's great to see.
[1:18:03] I mean, these are names from the very beginning of the.
[1:18:05] Establishment of the conservation commission in 68.
[1:18:08] All the way through now.
[1:18:09] Oh, wow.
[1:18:10] Wow.
[1:18:10] Yeah.
[1:18:11] Awesome.
[1:18:11] Yeah.
[1:18:13] And I mean, that's, that's some work to comb through all that.
[1:18:15] Absolutely.
[1:18:16] Yeah.
[1:18:16] Oh yeah.
[1:18:16] Yeah.
[1:18:17] But fun, right?
[1:18:18] Yeah.
[1:18:19] Fun.
[1:18:20] To think about and
[1:18:22] acknowledge and recognize
[1:18:23] that long that's a long time to dedicate to a volunteer board.
[1:18:28] Hmm, desires recognition in my opinion.
[1:18:33] That's excellent.
[1:18:34] That's cool.
[1:18:35] That's thanks for doing that.
[1:18:36] Yeah.
[1:18:38] Want to look at the list.
[1:18:39] Yeah.
[1:18:41] We'll hang that up before the show.
[1:18:43] Sounds good.
[1:18:43] Yeah.
[1:18:43] Yeah.
[1:18:44] Definitely
[1:18:47] I was gonna mention one thing about as the treasurer.
[1:18:51] Am I the treasurer?
[1:18:51] I think I'm the treasurer.
[1:18:52] You're still the treasurer.
[1:18:53] Just the, we had some talk.
[1:18:55] Last meeting about the budget.
[1:18:57] And, you know, we're going for some things.
[1:19:01] And Kristen, as far as I understand.
[1:19:04] Head of had a good meeting.
[1:19:05] I wasn't there for it and knew Dave didn't show up either, but you
[1:19:09] had a good meeting.
[1:19:10] Yeah, we presented.
[1:19:11] So your.
[1:19:12] You're requesting an increased budget in a tight budget year.
[1:19:15] And.
[1:19:17] And the town manager and assistant town manager and finance director were supportive.
[1:19:21] They felt like the reasoning was justified.
[1:19:23] And so.
[1:19:24] It was good to have an increased budget request supported.
[1:19:29] The next steps from there, it goes to a budget subcommittee.
[1:19:31] They sort of,
[1:19:33] you know,
[1:19:34] either review, ask, ask
[1:19:37] questions.
[1:19:38] Questions.And then they present that to the full budget committee.
[1:19:42] Ultimately that's the entity who presents it to the select board.
[1:19:47] And then from the select board, it goes onto the town warrant.
[1:19:51] So we have a meeting coming up.
[1:19:54] Before next meeting.
[1:19:55] Mm-hmm the 30th.
[1:19:58] Trying to go to
[1:20:00] September 30th.
[1:20:01] That's the budget.
[1:20:03] Yeah, the full budget, full budget committee.
[1:20:04] Mm-hmm so I think Dave and I might try to go to that
[1:20:08] It's six 30.
[1:20:10] September 30th and that's opened to everybody that's open.
[1:20:12] Yes.
[1:20:12] Yeah.
[1:20:12] So anyone else can come too?
[1:20:14] Six 30 on the, what day of the week is that?
[1:20:16] It's a Wednesday.
[1:20:17] Okay.

[1:20:23] Appreciate that.
[1:20:24] Thank you.

[1:20:31] There's another
[1:20:33] whatever the next iteration is.
[1:20:36] There were two night meetings that I was gonna go to.
[1:20:38] I think C I P C I P potentially.

[1:21:05] They just did none.

[1:21:13] The intent cut was approved by the select board or, you know, received by
[1:21:17] the select board.
