-lei <br /> Charlie said he knows there is a substantial amount of poorly drained sub <br /> r >� soil , to get proper water penetration beneath. If you create a swail , it <br /> will have no where to go anyway. <br /> Tony said what are we waiving to create a gavel road, the cost of a 14 foot <br /> driveway? <br /> Mr. Costa said that cost is making or breaking this owner. <br /> Mr. Costa said they did test holes on the site, there is 30" of top and sub <br /> soils, brown sand with a lot of silt. We can do percolation tests on the <br /> sub soil . He believes it will function. <br /> Charlie would like to see the test results. He is concerned about rainy <br /> weather with frost. <br /> Tony asked if it will end up on the abutters lot? <br /> Tom said there is an open space strip adjacent to this lot. <br /> Tony said this application will have to go to the ZBA for a variance <br /> because you need a paved road within 150 feet of a dwelling. He wants the <br /> E applicant to be forwarnded of the zoning bylaw. <br /> Getting back to the road plan , Mr. Costa thinks both will function , one is <br /> more cost effective than the other. <br /> Tony thinks the cost of a basic bituminous drive would not be that bad , for <br /> h 2 households, it would not cost that much more. <br /> Tana said there will still be runoff. <br /> Tony added they could possibly control it with some drainage. <br /> Charlie said bituminous will need pitch and something on the edge to <br /> collect the water. It takes another look at the profile of the road. A <br /> steep crown will run directly off the side. He feels the original cross <br /> ==' section will be adequate. <br /> Mr. Costa said he is sure there will be no drainage problem with the swail; <br /> r° a he has never used the other design. He has built the design he proposes and <br /> knows it works. <br /> Charlie Rowley prefers the original design. <br /> Public Questions and Comments: <br /> Peter Evans, abutter asked if they will have the same deed restrictions re; <br /> pesticides, fertilizers, lawn area? <br /> Tony explained this is not a special permit, it cannot be conditioned . <br /> Mr. Evans explained they have a well and that is why they are concerned. <br /> Tony said they could place restrictions, with a demonstrated reason , like <br /> report from the Board of Health. Presently he is not aware of a mechanism <br /> to condition it. <br /> Mrs. Antunes, abutter, asked where her open space was in relation to this <br /> plan . She reviewed the plan . <br /> Mr. Evans asked , if there was any provision , that if the design doesn ' t <br /> work , to make them put in drainage? <br /> j Tony said not that he is aware of. If it doesn ' t work then you have to take <br /> civil action . <br /> 4 <br /> ,T3: <br />
