Ms Behrman stated the Commission is concerned with the increase in sealed surface and number of automobiles* She asked where the runoff is going. Mr. Palmentier advised it will be running down the road to the existing facilities that have been approved. Mr, Rosenberg stated the runoff potential cannot be increased to go into what was designed before to adequately carry one and will not carry two. Nor. Palmentier stated they are not increasing the runoff down the road, the guest parking will be crushed stone. Ms Behrman pointed out this is not indicated on the plan; It should be specified. Mr. Rosenberg stated that any subsequent owner coming in will not know he i bound to have a permeable surface as he will not see the letter. Ms Behrman asked if it were part of the deed on file and fir. Palmentier did not think so. She asked how that particular condition would be referenced for any future, owner as the plan in front of the Commission does net say permeable. Mr. Palmentier advised the house is being raised which will decrease the amount of excavation and will decrease the slope of the driveway. Ms Behrman read from the letter from BEQE: The department recommends that all driveway and barking surfaces be constructed with a permeable surface. Surface runoff from all- impermeable surfaces must be directed to a leaching structure as required by Special. Conditions 2, 3 and 4. In addition, all wetland resources etc. , must be protected from erosion and siltation. She stated, they are giving the Commission a choice. . Palmentier reiterated, his point is, they recommend; it does not say it shall be pervious or permeable surface and as such, they are in compliance with the superced i ng order which says that the parking ng areas have to be permeable material and all drainage from impervious surface must be directed to the dr;ywe l i . Mr. Rosenberg stated that is not what DEQE said. He read, "All driveways and parking areas shall be permeable", and told Mr. Palmentier to read it again The Commission concurred; this will be put in the order of Conditions.
