Marcy and Craig Singer appeared before the Commission and submitted the green abutter cards.
James Miller, engineer from Miller Engineering represented the Applicant and submitted a plan entitled, Proposed Repairs to Existing Sewage Disposal System, dated July 22, 2003 to the Commission.
The leaching field for the proposed new septic system is located outside the 100' Buffer Zone.

There is a slight intrusion of the existing deck on the 50' No Build Line located at the rear of the property.

The Commission requested that the Applicant submit a definitive plan for the proposed new construction detailing the existing and proposed grading, a plan to re-establish the plants within the buffer zone, and drainage control plans.
Peg asked the Applicant to keep the new construction outside of the 50' No Build Line, and to move the hay bale line closer to the actual limit of work.

8:15p.m., N.O.I. Hearing Continuance, Peter Dangelo, 140 Maskwonicut Street. Driveway site preparation. DEP File #SE-280-431:
Peter Dangelo appeared before the Commission and presented concept plan for the proposed construction.
The proposed construction of a new dwelling and subsurface septic system to be located outside
the 100' Buffer Zone.
Tree clearing, grubbing, site grading and lawn installation is proposed within the 100' Buffer Zone.
Peter Dangelo proposes to buy a couple of steer and allow them to graze on the upland portion
of his property and allow the animals to have access to the water from a nearby brook on the
site.
The Commission determined that they would seek legal counsel regarding the placement of a Conservation/Agricultural Restriction on the property established at the hay bale line.
The Restriction would stipulate special allowances for agriculture as well as protection to the wetlands.
The Commission requested that the Applicant hire an engineer to survey the property so that a legal description of the meets and bounds and distance is accurately outlined on a plan.
Peter Dangelo requested the Commission's permission for the installation of hay bales in preparation for the excavation work and clearing of the trees.
The Commission granted permission to the Applicant to install the hay bales at his own risk. In the event that the DEP stops the work, the Applicant would have to remove the hay bales.
