00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:34,560
receipt, you had some initial comments

36
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,680
for the um the applicant mostly having

37
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,159
to do with the uh removal of vegetation

38
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:45,840
necessitated within the upland review

39
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:48,240
area. Uh the applicant has revised um

40
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,680
their uh plans and provided some

41
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,680
additional information um including the

42
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,680
um kind of the drainage study that led

43
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,600
to the uh proposed work um and revised

44
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,320
plans

45
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,799
um that include not only vegetation

46
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,239
removal but also vegetation replacement

47
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:13,920
and then a summary um project narrative

48
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:17,680
letter. But, um, if I guess I'll have

49
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:19,840
the applicant, um, do a a quick review

50
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,200
of those changes and then I'll just note

51
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,200
that I did send out a second email

52
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,160
earlier today with a staff report that

53
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:30,640

00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,680
» Over floor is yours.

57
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:42,400
» Good evening, commissioners. We uh as uh

58
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,120
Miss Careti has uh mentioned we've uh

59
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,360
put together a letter for a cover letter

60
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,160
and summary of the project and why the

61
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,040
project has taken place as well as the

62
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:57,440
uh report that was prepared by Woodard

63
00:02:53,040 --> 00:03:00,000
and Kern and we have uh drawings on the

64
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,599
demolition plan that show the trees the

65
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,400
two 30-inch trees that are being removed

66
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:07,840
as well as the uh replanting plan that

67
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:11,519
has been installed on the uh plan a

68
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,920
profile for the area of construction and

69
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:16,080
at this point I can let Wood and Kern

70
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:18,720
the team which has been a a great help

71
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,879
to us with this project uh add anything

72
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,440
that they would like to add.

73
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:25,680
» Um hi everyone. So Jennifer Martinez

74
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,400
Torres with Woodard and Curran just want

75
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,120
to confirm everyone can see my screen.

76
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,080
» Yes.

77
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,560
» Okay great. So based on the last meeting

78
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,519
um we had discussed the presence of two

79
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,560
mature trees um adjacent to the area of

80
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:42,400
the proposed um cohort improvement. So

81
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,400
those have been included in our demo

82
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,680
plan. These are the two trees in

83
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,120
question. Um and this plan was updated

84
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,560
uh was provided with the recent

85
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:54,400
submission. Um, and the other item that

86
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,280
we talked about was a planting plan or a

87
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,959
restoration plan for the area that was

88
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:03,920
also updated on our plan set that shows

89
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:06,080
the location of the proposed plantings

90
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,599
with a planting list that includes the

91
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,760
species, the quantity, and the size. And

92
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:14,000
um just to reiterate Paula mentioned, we

93
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,400
also provided a copy of the drainage

94
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,000
report um that basically you know

95
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,239
summarizes our analysis of the

96
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,120
pre-improvement and post improvement um

97
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:27,360
flooding conditions based on um you know

98
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:28,800
these proposed uh the upsizing of the of

99
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,360
the existing drainage system in this

100
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:35,600
area.

101
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:38,639
» Boy, that looks wonderful to me. Uh,

102
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:43,720
have we um Alexis, have you gotten an

103
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:43,720
eyeball on the the species proposed?

104
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:50,639
» I mean, I'm sure

105
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,960
» I was muted. I was talking but muted.

106
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:56,080
Um, yes, they are all native to

107
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:59,600
Connecticut species and and all look uh

108
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,000
appropriate for the uh location.

109
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,720
Absolutely.

110
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,199
» Beautiful. Other commissioners have

111
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,199
thoughts or questions?

112
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,560
Okay, hearing none.

113
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,160
» Sorry, just what is the pipe um made of

114
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,440
again? The material

115
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,840
» Reinforced concrete.

116
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,560
» Okay.

117
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,720
Um is

118
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,960
so Alexis you can tell where I am asking

119
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:33,919
this because I've recently completed my

120
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:36,240
uh but is anything um being done to that

121
00:05:33,919 --> 00:05:39,759
pipe? Do are there any measures needed

122
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:44,880
to sort of make it a more

123
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:48,080
natural the bottom of the pipe to be

124
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:51,360
» I got baffles or anything like that that

125
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:54,240
I so learned exist

126
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,639
» Right so normally what you um you're

127
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,600
referring to your recent training

128
00:05:56,639 --> 00:06:01,240
» Correct

129
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,240
» Um the

130
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:05,759
I'd say that this this is a pipe that

131
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:10,400
conveys a storm water drainage system.

132
00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:12,800
So a upstream if you will or or pipes

133
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,759
and right. So this is not a stream. So

134
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,039
those

135
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:20,479
» Uh when you have a stream crossing um

136
00:06:17,039 --> 00:06:24,080
that includes a culvert that that is

137
00:06:20,479 --> 00:06:26,560
exactly when you want to um ask the

138
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,560
questions that you just asked but not

139
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,080
for the conveyance of a of a whole

140
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,639
system.

141
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,919
» Okay. I wasn't sure about what the

142
00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:34,880
» Um Thank you. And the

143
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:36,960
» Thought I'd ask

144
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,919
» And the point is to maintain consistency

145
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,639
and like the turbulence flow whatever it

146
00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:44,639
is from the creek to the culver to back

147
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:47,360
to a creek

148
00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:50,080
» When when there is a um kind of a stream

149
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,240
crossing right there is um it depends on

150
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:55,919
the the water course certainly if there

151
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,720
are um native fish in that water course

152
00:06:55,919 --> 00:07:03,520
you want to have a bottom situation

153
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:05,759
where um the fish aren't um

154
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,720
have as a natural of a substrate as

155
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:11,280
possible so that there's not either a um

156
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,319
too high a velocity if it's a kind of a

157
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,319
smooth pipe or not uh not enough water

158
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:17,039
if it's kind of flattened out.

159
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:19,840
» Got it.

160
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:22,240
» But there are no fish um coming coming

161
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,240
out of this pipe unless it's someone's

162
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,800
goldfish.

163
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:30,680
» Okay, awesome. Thank you for that. Good

164
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,680
uh good thinking though, Heather.

165
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:36,479
Uh, okay. Any other questions or

166
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:40,319
comments?

167
00:07:36,479 --> 00:07:44,160
Okay. So, I'll move to uh approve the uh

168
00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:47,120
resolution uh dated March 10th, 2026 for

169
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:51,759
S26-62

170
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:53,840
as written as far as I can tell.

171
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:54,479
Can I have a second?

172
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,039
Second.

173
00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:59,120
» Seconded. Any discussion?

174
00:07:57,039 --> 00:08:00,960
Hearing

175
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,639
none, uh, we'll call to a vote. All in

176
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,440

177
00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:04,319
I

178
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,319
» I

179
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:08,000
» I

180
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:13,919
» Okay, I think that's everyone. There

181
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:16,560
four or um, great. Well, uh, thank you

182
00:08:13,919 --> 00:08:18,800
Paul and Jennifer, for

making it easy for us, doing a great

184
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,440
job.

185
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:24,000
» Commissioners, thank you. We appreciate

186
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,000

187
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,280

um I and the planning and zoning office

00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:37,680
flood resilience from across the city

214
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:42,240
and our first public engagement is uh

215
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:45,920

can't come and talk tomorrow tonight and

219
00:09:53,360 --> 00:10:00,240
um the survey is designed to ask

220
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:02,560
questions that um the consultant would

221
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:05,120
really like to have answers to as far as

222
00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:07,120
the formation of of the plan and better

223
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:10,240
understanding what risks in particular

224
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:13,839
Norwok residents um face during flood

225
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:17,040
events. So I will be sending the survey

226
00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:18,959
uh link out to all of you as well.

227
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,640
» Do you have to register for that or you

228
00:10:18,959 --> 00:10:22,079
just follow the link on Zoom? You just

229
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,480
follow the link on Zoom.

230
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:27,200
» Okay.

231
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:31,360
» Does Does this have Does this include

232
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,959
like coastal flooding? It does. Okay.

233
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,959
I'm just making sure I'm not getting

234
00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:38,320
things crossed here.

235
00:10:34,959 --> 00:10:42,959
» Yeah. So, we're looking at um coastal

236
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:45,760
flooding related to storm surge. Um also

237
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:49,839
tidal or sunny day flooding, riverine

238
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:53,680
flooding, and um

239
00:10:49,839 --> 00:10:57,120
potentially other um kind of storm water

240
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:58,880
infrastructure related uh flooding. So

241
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,839
those are kind of the three types of

242
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,320
» Okay, great.

243
00:10:59,839 --> 00:11:03,320
» No rock faces.

244
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,200
» That's it.

245
00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:13,440
» Okay, thanks Alexis. Uh do you have

246
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:16,440
anything else you'd like to add as

247
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,440
staff?

248
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:22,880
No, I did send out uh earlier today

249
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:25,200
finally the email with the uh link to

250
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:29,360
the

251
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:33,839
required training by D for inland

252
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:37,760
wetland agency members. Um, so make sure

253
00:11:33,839 --> 00:11:41,040
that you um

254
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:44,720
I think uh I think nearly all of you

255
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:46,320
have maybe already done it, but um um

256
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,200
you can check check that link, make sure

257
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:52,880
that that was the one that you you took

258
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:55,839
or will take. Um it's required by the

259
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,720
end of the the calendar year. So

260
00:11:55,839 --> 00:12:00,399
reporting to the state starts in March

261
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,959
2027

262
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:06,399
and it basically requires that you

263
00:12:02,959 --> 00:12:10,079
retake this training every four years or

264
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:13,120
uh each term. So um your sentence is

265
00:12:10,079 --> 00:12:18,560
five years. So that means every every

266
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:20,800
five years um a redo and thanks in

267
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:23,200
advance to those of you who have sent me

268
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,519
your certificate.

269
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,399
Do you need us to That's what I wanted

270
00:12:25,519 --> 00:12:28,959
to

271
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:30,800
» I need um they should have issued like a

272
00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:31,600
certificate or something.

273
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,040
» Yeah.

274
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,959
» Just forward that to me.

275
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,279
» Something. Okay.

276
00:12:34,959 --> 00:12:38,880
» Heather, if we could get a a a printed

277
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:40,639
version and a frame on the wall behind

278
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,120
you, I think that'd be helpful.

279
00:12:40,639 --> 00:12:45,120
» Listen, I am so proud of myself for

280
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,120
doing it and knocking it out this like

281
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,440
like this weekend. Like so proud of

282
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,560
myself. Well, now that the weather's

283
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:54,079
getting warmer, it's going to be harder

284
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:57,040
and harder for me to do it. So, it may

285
00:12:54,079 --> 00:12:58,639
be a end of year last minute thing for

286
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,040
me.

287
00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:00,399
We'll see.

288
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,399
» I'll keep pestering you. Don't worry.

289
00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:04,560
» Perfect.

290
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:07,279
» Okay, Groovy.

Uh, thanks. I don't have anything to

00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:13,760
anything they'd like to throw out there?

294
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,240
» All right. Oh,

295
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:23,040

» That's I just wanted to block it out

309
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,839
» Was the point. Block it out meaning put

310
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:03,360
it on your calendar.

311
00:14:01,839 --> 00:14:06,269
» Yeah, block it out on my calendar.

312
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,289
Sorry. Not mentally block it out. Right.

Yeah. Uh the plan is to record it so

350
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,079

invasives.

356
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,320
» Does he say yachts to pox?

357
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,199
