Ho,iq ..r, the reason for the ret entinn ba-in •_. f Cion r.l of Su rvev mee+i.ng of nr t ober 13, 1.?e3 Page 2 1 that there is apparently noother drainage system available to us. Mr. Curt Mi.tzsche of 453 Haverhill Street presented the Board with a letter regarding this concerns as an abutter regarding the drainage from this new subdivision running directly onto his property. It is his understanding that any project is to ronta i.n all its wa+er in compensatory storage, rather than simply drain onto someone else's private property, He asked how large the retenticr, pond will be. Mr. Ogren replied the land area available is 3500 square feet. Hr. =.+:ted he felt this is reasonahly sized in comparison to the size of the subdivision. He stated he has not done a definitive analysis of this, however,, he assured those present these questions will be answered at a Final Hearing, Chairman Wood slated I think there is a definite problem here. She would like Hayes Engi.neeri.ng to work out the calculations and speak with Mr. Mitzsche per=_onally regarding this situation. Mr. Ogren stated he would be more than willing to do so. It was moved, seconded and voted S!0 to close the Hearing at 8: IS P.M. Secretary Barker read the Notice of Public Hearing at 8'20 F.M. regarding t?;w Final Hearing on the approval, disapproval or modificatinn of plans for a subdivision located off Mill Street and Sanborn Lane„ There were approximately 1� residents presents as well. as Pear Ogren of Haye= Engineering, 0.. Bradley Latham; Attorney for the Applicant, :and Ja,', t Fivers, the Developer. Thai ,man W -d wel nn ed the attendants to the mee+:,ng and introduced the 9eard, Board of S!rrvey Meeting of n,.+oher 13, 19R3 Page 3 Attorney Latham stated the plan is comprised of six definitive lois and Parcel L. Initially, 5:.Inborn Lane was to he developed.. To do so, required documentation from Cedar Glen Associates, they were, however, unable to On so. Therefore, a redesign was necessary, hence, the new entrance is now off Mill Street. Mr. Ogren stated the reason for going to a Definitive Plan was that a number of concerns of the neighborhood were apparent to the Developer. The new construction call for a new roadway to be named Lilah Lane. Thic_ .goes through land owned by the applicant. Lilah Lane will terminale in a cul-de-sac. The sewer, water and drainage in the area has been studied over the years. Our proposal calls for picking up the sewer in Sanborn Lane and stopping it at Station 2+50. The cul-de-sac is at the top of the hill. The only drainage in the proposal are two catch basins, a drain manhole and an equalizing basin. This drainage allgoes in a northerly direction to an existing drainage ditch. The drainage calrulations indicated there will be an increase in flow, but the actual numbers are small. The watershed in the area does not change significantly. Any increase in flow would be from the development of the land itself. Mr.. Ogren then addressed the memo and concerns of the Engineering Department, item by item. Chairman Wood asked Mr. Ogren to address for her where the drainage goes, 1 Mr, ng ren stated the proposal now calic for a discharge in a northerly direction into an existing drainage ditch. We are proposing to drain the entire 0 rent into two catch b,-ins in a northerly dire..:tion into the drainage ditch which ultimately empties into a low land arra •� s Board of survey Meetiny of Br+ober 1.3, 1983 Page 4 600 feet in a northerly direction. This is a previously approved ditch for this area. He. slated if you feel this needs more clarification, we will certainly do further ralrula+inos on this for the Board. Mr. Bergeron asked if the roadway were extended beyond the cul-de-sac, what would be the redurtinn in flow? Mr. Ogren replied this would result .in a reduction in flow, but I do not have any definite figures. We could look at this again if this is a concern. Mr. Bergeron stated the plans have now been revised to where a future roadway extension is not only possible, but feasible. Mr . Barker asked if sewer will be available to each house lot. Mr. Ogren replied yes. Chairman Wood next read the letter from the Conservation Commission regarding their concerns relative to seasonal flooding, runoff, siltation and erosion control measures and the drainage ditch to the rear of Lot 1. Mr. Arthur Smith of 26 Mill Street stated seasonal flooding gathers there becar!se of the existing ditch being inoperable, but the drainage problem will be relieved. Mr. Ogren stated this plan will not impact Sanborn Lane at all. The drair,,ge will be going in the opposite direction of Sanborn Lane. Mrs. Ol,oris thilse of 1.07 Sanhnrn Lane stated she has a concern about this being a Final Hearing, since this plan is substantially ' differ .,+, the ,{et, of thisplan is also a ronrcrn of her,. Mr, ngr n stated the one gond point about this is that there is only the poscibi.l ity for the rnn=.lrnrtion of six houses on Lilah Lane. From a dasign standpoio+, this is ron,= ,;tent with the criteria for the design of st reef s.. Board of Survey Meeting of Ortohe.r 13, 1983 Page 5 Chairman Wood -tated the date for action on this plan is November 3, We would like to request an extension of time for our decision. Mr. Ogren asked what is the reason for this continua+ ion? Mr. Barker stated I believe the public is entitled to hear everything that is going on with this development. I feel that because this is a Final Hearing, we should give them the benefit of the opportunity to listen. Mr:: Bergeron requested supportive information regarding the drainage in the area. It was moved, seconded and voted 5:0 to continue this Hearing until December 5, 1983 at 8'00 PA. ' The meeting adjourned at 9'40 PA. Re=.pectf.illy submitted;.
