Public Hearing 468 West Street, and 6 Kelch Street, Johnson Woods, Notice of Intent, DEP 270-424, RGB 2004-10 The Chairman opened the hearing. Bill Bergeron of Hayes Engineering, Bob Gargano, contractor, and Brad Latham, attorney, were present for the applicant. Mr. Maughan asked about the status of the Peterson site that was originally included in the NOI. Mr. Latham said the site was no longer part of the proposal and any work on the site that the Petersons intend to do would have to come under a separate permit application. The Petersons have been notified by Mr. Moore that they may no longer use the driveway on the Johnson Woods land. Mr. Bergeron stated that a copy of the NOI had been sent to MNHESP and that he will forward a copy of the certified mail receipt when it arrives. There was general discussion about the extent of the Commission's jurisdiction over the proposed work. The Commission explained that jurisdiction in this case extends beyond work in wetlands and buffer zones because of the changes in drainage characteristics throughout the site and the applicability of the DEP Stormwater Management Policy to those changes. Thus, the Commission generally has authority over the drainage system and the areas that contribute to it, even areas and system components outside of the buffer zones. There was general discussion about how to handle Partial Certificates of Compliance and individual Certificates of Occupancy. There was general discussion about marking trees to be saved and other limits of work.
