The Chair called the meeting to order in the driveway of 275 Quinaquisset Avenue at 3:05 PM. SITE VISIT Matt Eddy led the site visit and oriented attendees to the site in relation to the submitted development plans under consideration. He noted the house was built around 1985 and is currently being utilized by Willowbend as workforce housing. Matt generally described the surrounding existing conditions and began to identify the bog system wrapping around the house more or less along Quaker Run adjacent to the Willowbend Golf Course. He noted that soil borings have been conducted by Briggs and that the locations of those soil borings are shown on the submitted plan set. The group began a tour around the subject property beginning generally around the westerly lot line adjacent to Bog 1 as shown on the plans. The group toured the property heading south along the western edge before continuing north on the easterly lot line while Matt Eddy gave an overview of the existing wetland conditions. Specifically, Matt pointed out the isolated wetland shown in the southwesterly corner of the subject lot. This isolated wetland was discussed at the public hearing held on 3/1/2023 and asserted to the Board by the engineer that the existing condition was the result of manmade intervention. Bogs require the use of sand which farms would often excavate onsite or adjacent to their bogs. Matt believes the shown isolated wetland is the result of agricultural activity. As the group moved around the property Dennis Balzarini noted a relatively `rolling' topography and asked about how much regarding would need to occur around the property Response from Mr. Eddy was inaudible. Matt wanted to particularly identify for the Board the limits of pre-existing site disturbance.
