MBA ~ngineering. !Ir. Voelker expressed the concerns of the staff. It
is felt that a confirmation be received from the Zoning Commission
regarding the width and depth requirements since a couple of the
proposed lots are questionable. Also, the plans should be referred to
the Inland Wetlands Commission for review since the new design has
eliminated a detention pond on the southeast corner of the property
and a berm will be through tile northern detention pond for the sewer
easement. The limitations as listed on the mad were reviewed and it
was agreed that limiting the removal of brush ~nd mowing of grass in
the conservation easement is not necessary and should be removed from
the ]imitations. Enforcement of conservation easement limitations was
discussed and Mr. Voelker will petition legal opinion froia Corporatiou
Counsel and report back to the Commission at the March 10, 1987 meeting.
A motion was.made by Mr. Bourgeois, seconded by Mr. Southworth and
voted unanimously to refer to Inland Wetlands Commission the new design
whioh eliminated the southeast detention pond and has a berm for tile
sewer easement through the northern detention pond.
