 I don't know if anyone will even be here and I have, I have a puppy and she's. Being kind of mischievous here. Making sounds. So I only see one attendee. Oh, there's another attendee. Okay. They're popping in. Give them a second. Is there another board member going to show up. No, no, it's just, it's just you. So for members of the public. I'm Erin Jock. I'm the wetlands administrator. This is Alex. He's one of our concom members and we have a quorum issue this evening. We only had two concom members who could make the meeting tonight for a variety of work conflicts and illness going on this evening. So all of our hearings are going to be continued. And I'll be announcing those at their scheduled times. But I will put up on screen just so folks can see if they don't want to wait around. That we will be, this is the agenda for tonight. And I noted the times here that we'll be continuing to our next meeting. January 11th. That should be 2023, not 2022. It's a typo. January 11th. That's going to be a common occurrence for a little while 2023. And I'll be hanging around to announce those continuances. Our meeting on the 28th of December. We also do not have a quorum for because commissioners are traveling through the city of downtown or. With family. So Alex and I are just here to let you guys know that we're. You don't have a quorum, but if anybody has questions or comments, you're more than welcome to raise your hand. Yeah, this. Right now I think this. I see Karen, I think Karen may have submitted a land use application and I didn't have a chance to get in touch with her before tonight's meeting. Hey there. I think things just a quick question for you. So we're setting up our winter schedule. I understand quorum issues. So we should plan then to set up our winter schedule and not include sweet Alice. You know, understanding that, that we wouldn't be able to have the application considered until January 11th. Yeah, what's your schedule, Karen? Can you remind me the dates that you were hoping to use the. We're hoping to use the property for two to three. Wednesdays in January, February, early March. We just usually publish our schedule. We've actually been waiting to publish our schedule. For what those dates are. So I could always put it to be decided. Thing or. Yeah. Register tend to register far ahead of time. That's all. Yeah. No. So just to, we may have a special meeting before the end of the year. If there are other business items that need to be handled, like we have a conservation restriction that needs to be done before the end of the year. So we may, we're going to try to do a special scheduled meeting to deal with that. So this might be another item that we could tack onto that agenda just to take care of it before the end of the year. But I'll also check in with Dave Zomek and explain the situation and have him take a look at the land use application. In some cases with relatively straightforward applications, we've given administrative approvals when it's between meetings or there's an issue with getting an approval. So let's touch base. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to talk to Dave and we'll try to come up with a strategy for. How to get you an answer of how to proceed. That's really kind of you. I don't want to make a special meeting. Any longer. So I guess that, like, if you have a chance to talk with Dave and it works out with administrative approval, that's great. The other thing I can do is always publish our schedule, include the days we hope to use sweet Alice, but then know on our end internally that that's subject to change and it's not a big deal. So, so I can give you the heads up if we have a schedule that includes it. We understand that it's not finalized yet. And we're fine with changing the location if we need to, if, if that doesn't work out. So that's a possibility too. Yeah, I mean, it's been few and far between that we've said no to an application. So, I just don't want to be presumptuous. You know, I don't want you to be like what they're, they're like assuming we're going to use it without approval. So that's all. Yeah. I mean, a few things to kind of keep in mind. So like in your case, I believe you said it was a, it was a nonprofit organization, right? Yeah. So like in cases of for profit where they're charging a fee, there have been instances where we've asked for a donation per member per fee charged, like a small, like, I don't know what, what it was, it was like 20% or something of each. I don't recall exactly, but that wouldn't apply here. Well, we do, we do run the program by donation. So people do. Yeah, you know, Yeah, but it's a nonprofit organization. Yeah, exactly. The other thing is just to kind of have in your radar is that we have required. I'm drawing a blank on it, but the liability insurance policy for the event, there have been occasions where we've asked for like liability sign off waivers, but those have been like for a really unique situation. So yeah, but that's, I doubt that would apply here. I doubt you guys are going to be doing anything. Crazy. Promise nothing crazy. Yeah. Okay. That sounds great. Thanks. I appreciate your assistance and, you know, I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to reach out to you before the meeting. I only just found out at like four o'clock this evening that we were going to have a serious problem. So I tried to get everybody. It's okay. No problem. All right. Thanks so much. Have a great night. All right. You too, Karen. Thanks. All right. Now the fun part. So Alex, did you have any, I'm trying to think now. I know we were exchanging emails before this will actually probably be good because we can refine some of the language that you had mentioned in the mitigation calculator. So what you sent me was fine that I send you some language moments before I received your email on that. Yeah. I think that was a good idea. I think that was a good idea. And not a big deal just looking for. Kinder and gentler language. Yeah, I agree that that was a little, the language. I think that was, she probably didn't know what to say. And so she just wrote that in, but it definitely. It was like a 20% take or however she worded it. It didn't really, I didn't really like the, the language there either. So. Yeah. I think if you haven't had time to talk to her. I talked to her. She was barely. I could hardly understand her. She was so sick. She's, yeah, she's got the flu and she called me and she's like, I'm not going to be going. Okay. So badly. No, she, um, she was like contemplating coming and she, I could barely understand her on like, I, it's up to you, but you sound absolutely horrible. And you know, um, it happens and we, you know, I think it was like three, three members at least who have illness right now. She's so vibrant. It's hard to imagine her sick. Oh, I know. I know she's got two little ones too. Um, so there's nothing worse than being sick with small children. Oh my God. It's the worst. Um, but what's that? What's next? Um, we're waiting for an agenda time. Cause normally Dave, so Mac would be giving us his report now and Jen would be giving us an update and so. Yeah. So I'm just waiting for the, so what I have to do is, um, I'm going to be sitting here through a 750 tonight. So what I'll do is at 730 announced the continuation for, um, the first hearing and then at 735 for the second and so on. Um, and I'll just announce them throughout. So it was 713 now. Is anybody, uh, in the waiting room? Um, there is one attendee. Um, I think. I see Josh Larisi and I'm trying to think, I don't know if he's a project proponent or not. But Josh, if you have any questions or comments, you're more than welcome to raise your hand. We're just, um, waiting to announce continue. Oh, looks like he wants to talk. I'm going to let him in. Hey, Aaron. Hey Alice, can you hear me? Hi. Hey, um, I didn't really have any questions, but I just wanted to, I was just dialing in just to see if any, any other questions came up from you, Aaron or Alex, but, um, I know we've been emailing, so I can just follow up with you tomorrow and we can keep corresponding over email ahead of the next meeting to figure out next steps. And, um, Josh, you're with 515 Sunderland Road, right? Yeah, sorry. Josh from Blue Wave for 515 Sunderland Road. Correct. Yeah. No, that's totally fine. Um, sorry, it's like when I have the project in front of me, I recognize the proponent and it's like when it's the other way around, I get a little like, okay, which, which project is this? Um, yeah, that was totally fair. Um, yeah, I didn't, I think you're, you're, you're on the right track. I, um, I think your suggestions for notes on the plan were, were kind of, you know, the, the, that's completely fine. Um, yeah. So I think, I think we're on the right track. If you want to meet like, um, you know, whenever you get those revisions set just to take, have me take a look at them or something, I'd be happy to do that just so that you guys can kind of relax before the next hearing a little bit. Um, and also one thing I'd like to do is because I had a couple orders of conditions prepared for tonight to, to improve. So if I can get a hold of your plan set and have a look at them, it would be awesome if I could prep the order so that, you know, we can review and hopefully approve at the next meeting. Um, assuming everything is good to go. Um, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I think we'll, we'll follow up with, um, with wood, Drew, Varnakis and wood, and we'll get, I, I'm sure we can get everything done by mid next week, maybe even by the end of this week, but yeah, we'll, we'll look to submit those plans, uh, with the additional details as soon as possible. Have you look at them and then yeah, if everything looks good from your end, um, like you said, we can, we can just plan on, uh, you know, you can have, get it to you as soon as you can, as soon as we can. So you can have ample time to, to review and draft, uh, start drafting the order. So. Yeah, that would be excellent. Cause. Are this, it's, it's starting to impact us a little bit to have all these continuances and, and obviously meetings around the holidays are always, um, this always happens. Um, yep, yep. Cause everybody's got their travel plans and their family plans set up, um, and sometimes interferes. But if I can do anything to streamline the next meeting, that's what I definitely like to do. It's, I can prepare now to make it easier then. Yep. Absolutely. Yeah. So we'll do, we'll do our best to help you with that. And like I said, get you things, uh, as soon as possible. So see you have plenty of time. Excellent. Um, otherwise you had no other comments on my end. So just appreciate both you hopping on and, um, like I said, we'll look to follow up separately. Sounds good. Thank you, Josh. Thanks, Aaron. Thanks, Alex. Have a good night. You too. Happy holidays to you. Yeah. Happy holidays. Safe travels. If you're on, if you're end up on the road. Um, and then Alex, the, we had talked a little bit about. I think they asked me. You know, I was on the Belch town road project and, um. Yeah, they, they still hadn't, I think they got me a revision, but I didn't even get a chance to look at the plans sets. But they asked to, um, To meet with me. Um, later this week, so I'll have a chat with them. I think they still have questions on their plan. So, Yeah. You said they. Provised it. They're going to eliminate some parking lot. And then I send you an email sort of a tickler. the quality of the water going off the parking lot into fairing brook, fairing stream, or whatever it is. And I'm no expert on what's underneath the ground in those systems, but I assume there are separators and that kind of thing and now's a good time. I mean, that water is going into a wetland. Yeah, definitely. So there are deep sump catch basins in that parking lot and one of the things we had talked about was putting sumps inside of them. So sure of just replacing them with an altogether new structure, putting a sump in to provide sort of an added measure of water quality inside the structure itself. So that was something that I had talked about with them and hopefully they'll be incorporating. But I'll follow up with them on that and then hopefully the reduction in impervious will help. It's really funny because at the last hearing you had, I think you had asked about that, right? You had asked about reducing parking and they're like, oh no, we need the parking for the folks in the back. And then the planning board had the same exact comment except the planning board teased it apart a little and was like, no, you need to remove parking. You only need X number of spots. And so they're actually gonna be removing some parking, which is kind of a good thing. Good, I didn't talk to the planning board, but they're great minds think along the same lines. Yeah. As I recall, the guys said the tenants won't have very many automobiles. They will have transportation coming to pick them up. So that's why I said something about maybe you could return some of it to Grasp. But there is that pipe that we saw separate from the storm drain. And I haven't, I meant to go down there when it was raining and take some pictures. I just haven't gotten, I haven't been here when it's been raining. Yeah. But the literature is all full of what comes off of parking lots. With the advent of electric cars, that's gonna diminish. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what happens. I know they just completed, I think I'm trying to think, I thought it might have been, it was either UMass or Amherst College just completed a study on the Faringbrook. And there's a presentation. Actually, I think it was tonight. I missed it, but I asked them to record it so I could watch it after the fact. But they did a ton of water quality testing in the Faringbrook. And so we're gonna be getting some results on that. And yeah, the faring is a really, the faring and the tan are both really, really tough streams in town. I'm sure they, their current state of affairs is a result of past actions. Yeah, yeah, it's tough. I mean, there's, and there's a lot of situations in town where there's sort of similar not so great actions that resulted in that. And then there now they're really difficult situations to solve a lot due to the development around them now. And it's hard to daylight them or to come up with a solution to a drainage problem because there's nowhere to go. Yeah. But I'm just glad that people's thoughts on what should be is different than back then. Yeah, absolutely. We tend to try and correct things when we get a chance and a little bit by little bit. So that's why I brought up the water, stormwater issue. And it was helpful to be on site. And I enjoyed being with you this morning. I'm sorry, your ears got stuck. Well, I should have put a hat on because I was, I saw a mic and I jumped out of the car and I'm like, I should have grabbed a hat. But I didn't realize. Oh, I know. I know, I didn't realize how windy it was if it wasn't windy, it would have been okay, but the wind was really vicious. Yeah, I just looking at the Montessori and I certainly understand their need for parking. And there's a lot of people coming in, coming out, transitions and kids create a lot of trash. Yeah, they're actually, I was talking to the building inspector today about it and one of the senior planners and for some reason ended up on that subject. And they actually have an agreement with the folks across the street. I'm guessing over by like, can't remember the name of the restaurant, but there's a restaurant kind of across the street. The Mexican restaurant? Yeah, yeah. Is it Camelitos or something like that? I can't think of the name of it. Anyway, good food. Yeah, they have great burritos. Anyway, I think that they have an agreement with that parking, with the folks for that parking lot that they have a couple of spots over there that they can use, but I could see it that being inconvenient for staff and stuff to walk across. Yeah, they have to. Across the prom, right? Yeah. Easier for staff than parents with kids. Yeah, yeah. I mean, speaking from experience, like my youngest, he's just like, you set him down and he just runs into the road immediately. It's, he's just got no sense of, no sense of danger whatsoever. Good. Yeah. So, let's see. I've got about 737, 727. Yep. Yeah, we got about five minutes. And I'm gonna, I'm gonna tough it out here, but you're more than welcome to... I think I've been on a respectful length of time. Yes, you have. But thank you for signing on and carrying the torch with me and keep you posted on what happens for special meeting and or January meeting. Yeah, and let me know if there are site visits. And let's see, when will you make it? When will you let people know about the 28th of December? I know you've, we talked about that today. Yeah. I'm making the call with the continuations that we're gonna push to January because I've heard from four different folks that it's a no-go for them for the 28th, so we're not gonna have a quorum anyway. Okay, so if something comes up, family-wise I'm, the 28th is open. Okay. Yeah, I don't, I don't have anything planned, but you never know, it's a busy time and... Yeah. Other people will be setting the agenda. Well, in the new year we'll be hitting the ground running with all kinds of meetings and stuff. So enjoy it while you can. Yeah, so we just talked about the 11th of January. Is that a Wednesday? Yes. So on the 10th, I have a day-long appointment with the doctor. Okay. Which will put me, I don't know what I'm gonna be like the day after that surgery. Okay. Recovery time is about a week. It's a no big deal, but I don't know if I'm gonna be comfortable sitting in a chair. Okay. I don't know, I think my head will be clear. But, and I'll try hard to be on that meeting. Okay. But there's an outside chance that I'll have to be sleeping or something like that. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Okay. Okay, well, I'll... If that's, there's an outside chance. Mm-hmm. I'll make every effort to be on the call. Okay. I think the only hearing I'm really worried about is 47 Olympia. That's the only one that I'm really, really worried about because at this point, we've only got four voting members on that hearing. And if you miss another hearing on that one, you won't be able to vote. So then we won't have a quorum. So we'll watch that really carefully. And if... I'll be here then. I mean, even if it was, even if you just came for that one hearing to vote on it. If I can do that, I can be here for the, I'm just giving you a warning then. Yeah. I'm gonna be having surgery. I will have been anesthetized. I don't know what they do will be like, it's not a serious surgery. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Okay, well, good luck with that. Yeah. There's so many awesome wetland puns. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Yeah. But we should be fine and we'll figure it out if there's some issue we'll find a way. Yeah, so I'm not bringing that up to worry you. I'll make every effort to be there, but there's an outside chance that I'll be incapacitated. Okay. Well, thank you for the heads up. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just taking, yeah, I'm just not a big deal. Surgeon told me this is one of the things that's the easiest for her to do. So, and I should have done it a long time ago. Yeah, if I wasn't being recorded, I'd tell you what I'm doing. Well, I've got a lot of things I've been avoiding too. I've got to get my, I've got to go to the dentist. I really don't want to do that. I got to get my eyes checked. I really don't want to do that. I know I need reading glasses. It's like, oh my gosh, there's so many things to keep up on. Yeah, okay. So, if you get lonely and really want company, give me a text other than that. I'll see you later. Sounds good, Alex. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Okay, for anybody watching the 730 hearing for our Levesque Associates on behalf of ServiceNet for the repaving of an existing parking lot and drive aisles associated with pedestrian access improvements within the buffer zone to an intermittent stream at 12 and 20 Beltertown Road, the hearing will be continued to January 11th, 2023 at 735.
