Abutters <br /> receipts were presented. <br /> A 750 unit complex is planned on 264 acres with golf course , Two holes <br /> the course are involved. The site plan was reviewed. The first <br /> fA� rway is proposed to run along a wetland and the ninth hole involves <br /> a kettle hole. <br /> Robert DeLory questioned the proposed treatment plant and was advised <br /> this was not being addressed tonight. <br /> cross section was shown where they plan t.o cut a kill and flatten it <br /> out for a fairway. The retaining wall will extend approximately 240 <br /> feet. Cart paths will be crushed stone, 6 foot wide. <br /> Mrs. Ferriday questioned the replications. Mr. Oakes stated they will . <br /> be filling 4900 s . ' f t. and replicating 5040. Replicating involves <br /> cutting the area down in elevation to approximately 44 - 42 foot elev- <br /> ation. Existing wetlands are within a 42 foot elevation which is shown • . <br /> as a representative elevation at which the wetland will be replicated. <br /> First tt will be excavated down to 4 feet, then the muck removed and . <br /> pint in the holes, save some plants, seedlings and saplings and plant <br /> them in the 'muck. Two growing seasons are allowed for them to <br /> establish. } <br /> Mrs. Ferriday asked how the cut portion of the slope will be treated. <br /> Mr. Oakes stated it will be 1 oamed and seeded to establish a grass <br /> bank. <br /> Mr. DeLory asked if they were aware this is filled lana and was told <br /> they are aware.

Mr. Oakes stated it is not feasible <br /> to So less than 80 feet wide for_ a fairway. <br /> Ms Behrman asked if there was any other possible location for the fair- <br /> way? r. Oakes stated the rough area on the edge of the fairway is 10- <br /> . 15 feet wide. Slow release nitrogen and minimal fertilization are rec- <br /> ommended. <br /> e - <br /> ommend d.
