'Dere was support among Board members to do so and Mr. Fudala agreed to add it to the agenda for-the next meeting. It was recommended that Mr. Bornstein submit an updated drawing or aerial photograph. Referencing issue# , Mr. Bornstein noted that hydro seed initially washed off of a 45-60 degree slope, but that grass was noir growing in the area. heir. Bornstein added that it was a difficult area to perform maintenance. Mr. Rowley stated that a 6 foot chain link fence at the base of the slope prevented the maintenance and added that previous erosion had been rectified with jute netting and re-seeding. Mr. Bornstein Mated that the fence was a requirement from the Design Review Board. Mr. Rowley suggested the passibility that it could eventually become a naturalized slope with trees, but that it was presently well vegetated, essentially by weeds, preventing erosion. Regarding the foundation openings on Bonding 2, Mr. Bornstein stated that all openings had been closed, except for one, to contain the dirt but still allow access to construction materials. Mr. Rowley reported that, although there was no erosion, the area around the second building was to be grassed according to the approved plan.
