Mr. Phelan inquired whether work on Phase IV would begin after completion of Phase III and Mr. Falacci responded that work on Phase IV would not begin right away. There was consensus from the Board to have Mr. Rowley work with the project proponent on erosion control. Mr. Rowley inquired about a reduction of units from 81 lots to 78 and Mr. Crispin confirmed that 3 lots would not be part of the plan as the lot lines traveled through an existing building. An ANR would be submitted to create the 3 lots at a later time,which Mr. Rowley confirmed could be done. There were no additional comments. The Chair shared Health Agent Glen Harrington's memo confirming that the Board of Health approved the Phase IV New Seabury, Cottages plan on February 20. The public was invited to address the Board. Mike McManus, representing Vacation Resorts International and Cape Cod Holiday Estates, inquired further about the access at Red Brook Road, and Mr. Falacci confirmed that the cut in area was from Eversource removing trees. Mr. McManus expressed concern about existing water runoff and flooding at 4 Seasons Drive. Mr. Falacci confirmed their plan to reduce the amount of water currently flowing and capturing it on site with retention basins,rain gardens, gutters and dry wells, landscaping and grass, as well as the road capturing some of the runoff. Mr. McManus expressed concern about some neighbors that would have a view of the new development and Mr. Falacci showed the areas where trees would be removed and where they would remain untouched. Mr. Rowley stated that more detail was needed to finalize the plan to address potential runoff issues, because stripping of the slope would create new issues. The Chair explained to Mr. McManus that Mr. Rowley would be working on the matter and Mr. Rowley added that New Seabury would also need to remain compliant with the EPA's NPDES Permit, with a plan on file. Mr. McManus expressed concern that the site did not need to comply with setbacks and the Chair responded that it was due to the permitting of the time. Mr. Falacci stated that the footprint had been similar in each.of the phases and 80 people had already purchased, so the setting of the houses were well-received. Mr. McManus inquired about the walking trail and Mr. Falacci showed that where the trail traveled through a property (lot 10), it would be relocated to the property line. The path could continue to be used. There was no additional public comment or Board member questions. Mr. Rowley suggested that,while conditioning the erosion control, a final copy of the plan should be presented to the Planning Board for approval. Mr. Rowley suggested that trees could be removed for the cutting of the roads, and installing the berm prior to cutting trees for the lots.
