The Co~ission discussed the driveway plan: Peter Dunwiddie stated that
the driveway plan is a substantial change from the original intent_of
plan, where emphasis was placed on minimizing disturbance of the buffer
zone.
"
Mr. Shugrue stated that the drive is extended around the septic system
and will be gravel material. The driveway is 25' to 40' from the edge
of the wetland. He admits that brushcutting is too extensive. Shugrue
stated that it is the intent of the applicant to slope the driveway
away from the wetlands but this is impossible in all areas.
The Commission discussed the access road improvements. Plans show
improvements but order does not request construction of access before

where the building is moved towards the back of the lot - within 16-18
feet of the wetland. Parking area is moved between the building and
the drive. Lee Dunn asked if that much parking is required and Peter
Dunwiddie asked if the garage entrance can be moved. Mr. Emack said
that it could not be moved and the only impac~ to the wetland in the
new plan would be during construction. SIltation fencing below the
house and parking is proposed.
Peter Dunwiddie viewed the site and determined the area to be a
bona fide wetland. Carl Borchert suggests a permanent fence at the
edge of the wetland to prevenL dpplicant from using the buffer zone

8. Nantucket Commons Trust - SE48-365. }1r. Philip Notopoulous submitted
revised plans in color. Changes:
- Deletion of building number 3.
- Spillway deleted off Bear Street.
-. Parking on old railroad bed deleted.
- Retaining walls added at narrow spots where wetland comes
up to road. Only two fill areas 130ft. and 350ft. Buffer
narrows in several spots within 11', 16', 24', 21', 15';
total of about 300 lineal feet.
Stormwater retention area on site of deleted parking lot;
100' storm calculation - organic filtration system; 100%
backup system.
Adding 11,000 square feet of undeveloped open space to plan.
This brings open space to 54% of the total eite (160,000sq. ft.)
8 or 9 parking spaces have been deleted elsewhere to add to
undisturbed buffer.
Retaining walls are constructed of concrete, maximum height of
" 2~ feet, designed to prevent runoff from going directly into
wetland.
Replication will be only 500 square feet.
Siltation fencing will go in on line between green areas and
developed areas.
Stormwater retention basin at elevation 7~, walled in requires
no maintenance. Removes oil through absorption. Water goes thru
separators into a pipe into this basin. (Planning Board may
require fill up to grade. (2~ maximum height above grade)
....
Arlene Wilson now of A.M. Wilson Associate with Daylor Engineering
submitted color coded plans.
- No leaching facilities in buffer zone. All will be piped into
retention basin.
- Arlene suggest that bottoms on any leaching facilities should
be above groundwater levels. She also suggests to change the
location of siltation fence and show reduction of replication
area.
Peter Dunwiddie suggested that sloping earthen walls be used to
basin instead of vertical concrete.
The applicant requested that the hearing be closed and Orders of
Conditions be issued/ Carl Borchert stated that there is nothing on
the plans showing drainage from separators to basins. There are no
