Jack read a statement that vire will now consider information appropriate to this hearing and <br /> anyone who wishes to offer testimony can do so now. <br /> Ms. Turano-Flores said at the last full hearing, Bob Gray talked about the YAldlife habitat value. <br /> Subsequent-to that they hired Don Schall who visited the site and cane up with a vegetation <br /> plan that is reflected on the present plan. Most notably, there is vegetafron in a graphic form <br /> shorn in the island and on either side of the property. she said of greatest concern to Mr. <br /> Talbot and the other Commissioners at the last hearing was the 35 ft. buffer zone. The graphic <br /> depiction is not on this plan but is noted in the margin with Mr. Schall's narrative,, which was <br /> submitted to Bob Gray. She received a copy of Mr. Gray's reply today. The Commissioner <br /> had not seen this reply. <br /> She said first here was the issue of the delineation of the coastal bank, which does need to be <br /> addressed this evening even if we don't quite close the hearing this evening, because the Board <br /> of Health is awaiting our confirmation that the delineation at the top of the coastal bank is <br /> correct. She said she brought Mr. Schall to this meeting to discuss how that delineation cane <br /> about. It was created using the DEP p licy 2-1, and Bob Sherman indicated to her that h <br /> agrees with the delineation as shown on this plan. Today Mr. Gray also said he concurs with <br /> the revised top of the bank. This plan now shows the septic components completely outside of <br /> the coastal bank. <br /> Jack said this coastal bank has moved dramatically-- it was across the road. res. Turano- <br /> Flores said she would let Michael Grotke speak to that. Michael Talbot agreed with Jack and <br /> said in fact there was a very steep grade change just a few feet in from that road and he didn't <br /> see how that's not a hank—he's been there. <br /> Michael Grotzke discussed the relationship of the coastal bank under the policy plan with <br /> respect to the 1 00-year flood plain and the slopes above the 1 -year flood plain. Looking at <br /> the 1 00-year flood plain and the slopes in that-vicinity, and applying policy 9295 they came up <br /> with this flood plain. Michael Talbot said that#s fine under the Wetlands Protection Act., but <br /> 1 lashpee has Its own definition under Chapter 172 which is-considerably more conservative, <br /> and under that definition it talks about a point where a 1 in 4 grade change is reduced to a I in <br /> 10 mange, which really doesn't take place until you get at the top of that dope just in from the <br /> road. <br /> Mr. trot ke said 1 ashpee also uses the 100 year flood plain and the slope is less than 1 in 4— <br /> its 1 in" . if it was greater than 1 in 4 he would agree. Ms_ Turano--Flores said this plan was <br /> submitted two weeks agcy, and Bob said he'd try to look at it before his vacation. She called him <br /> the Monday he returned and he said he agreed with it. He did not get into the specifics of the <br /> difference between Chapter 172 and the DEP policy. Sabatia's reference to Chapter 172 in its <br /> report also agrees with it. <br /> Michael Talbot said the Selectmen selected us as the Commissioners and we don't ahvays <br /> agree with theConse' <br /> Agent. He read from Chapter 172: The top of the coastal bank <br /> should be considered to be one vertical foot higher from the top of the bank that defined <br /> Program Policy -1. <br /> Don Schall then addressed the coastal bank in relation to the flood plain zone. Michael Talbot <br /> said this is new informa ion and he has to have.time to look at it. According to this new <br /> 3 <br />
