16 Great Neck RoadNorth <br />wlashyee, -Massachusetts o2649 <br />served by the existing privately owned wastewater treatment facility which <br />serves the entire Willowbend project. <br />Matthew Eddy responded to all previous comments the Board made, revised the layout, <br />hazard mitigation plan, reduced total unit count to 12, and relocated units 9-12 to eliminate <br />wetland impacts. The final wetland impact area has been reduced down to 9,037 s.f. and <br />runoff from Quinaquisset will go to a swale across the shoulder to a small isolated vegetated <br />wetland. The bog along Quaker Run alongside Quinaquisset will have 5 acres of restoration, <br />bog mitigation and wetland impact is equivalent to a 250.1 ratio. The requirement for the bylaw <br />is 10.1 mitigation. Restoration costs estimate at $150,000/acre. <br />Mr. Eddy noted the entirety of the bog, adjacent to the project, south of Quinaquisset, is 5.2 <br />acres. All bogs along Quaker Run will be restored to a natural wetland system, running all the <br />way out into Shoestring Bay. Drainage calculations have not been figured, but they are in <br />preliminary stages with gathering feedback and preparing for the next step. If the Board is <br />comfortable with his current layout they could have it more complete for next hearing in two <br />weeks. <br />Ms. Faulkner inquired with the Board Engineer if this was a good plan. Mr. Pesce clarified the <br />current setback is closer to 70ft. Since the last email there were only minor comments that <br />were all addressed, he thinks it is fairly straight forward. <br />Mr. McManus commented he received the revised plans from Mr. Eddy but the changes have <br />not received a peer review yet. Based on changes, reductions, and increased mitigation of <br />bogs and the lower half of Quaker run, he views this as a positive. Bog restoration is a massive <br />threat and this is going above and beyond what would be required. <br />Ms. Faulkner noted she is inclined to keep the Public Hearing open due to drainage not being <br />calculated, however; there can always be a condition of permit. <br />Mr. Pesce commented it is common practice to include conditions, he sees no issue in closing <br />the Public Hearing, but it is up to the comfort level of the Board. <br />Mr. Balzarini would also like the Conservation report to be included as a condition. <br />Mr. Lehrer acknowledged the conditioned approval or disapproval of any action should <br />consider a report may not be delivered to meet the 90 day regulatory window. It might be <br />prudent to keep the Public Hearing open with revisions sheet included. <br />3 <br />
