by providing native plantings along the wetland resources to create a vegetated buffer. The mitigation plantings were done in accordance with the Conservation Commission’s mitigation table. Mr. Borselli noted they are proposing to rebuild the house somewhat bigger but still within the requirements and meeting the performance standards. He said, based on the Agent’s concerns about doing work in land subject to coastal storm flow, they have the opportunity to further enhance the buffer with more shrub layer. Mr. Borselli spoke about moving the leaching facility to the contiguous lot. He said he received a memo from Glenn Harrington from the Board of Health with a punch list of items. He wants confirmation that the road is private, that Mr. Carter owns to the center line and that Mr. Carter has the right to put a pipe under the road. Mr. Borselli noted the project meets the performance standards. The Agent noted his concerns on the property using photos that he took. He noted the trees could be affected by the construction. He noted the work limit stakes and said it needs to be clarified that the trees inside the work limit are not to be removed. He noted two more trees that could possibly be removed. He recommended to schedule an onsite visit to see what trees are to be removed. The Agent spoke about a waiver request which has criteria that the Commission must review when it comes to expanding footprints. He noted the home is a pre-existing, non-conforming structure. His recommendation would be to request a continuance and take a closer look at this and for the applicant to be very specific of the work limits and the number of trees to be removed. Mr. Borselli said he will demonstrate on the revised plan all of the trees that are in question and how they relate to the stakes. He noted he needs a limit of work to plant the mitigation. There will be very explicit notes on trees to remain and trees to be removed. Comments from the public. Mr. Mike Chiampi, abutter, noted the proposed septic system is 16 feet off the side of his house. He asked why the reason for putting the leach field between the houses and destroying 4,000 to 5,000 square feet of vegetation. He suggested that the applicant could put the leach field 75 feet back with a variance or put the leach field in the road. He said there will be no privacy if the Town lets him put the leach field on the other lot. The Agent recommended showing the details of what will be disturbed for the proposed leach field. Mr. Borselli requested a continuance on behalf of the applicant. Motion: Mr. Shaw moved to continue the hearing at the request of the applicant to August 25 at 6:00 p.m., seconded by Mr. McKay.
