Glenn Clarke and Sharda Persaud 14 Winslow Dr.
By Ryder &Wilcox, Inc. Assessor's Map 92, Parcel 4. The proposed installation of a
swimming pool, retaining wall, path, and mitigation plantings. Work will take place in the
50' to 100' buffer to the edge of a Bordering Vegetated Wetland and within the Pleasant
Bay ACEC.
Mr. Lyttle provided a revised landscape plan which showed the addition of
screening options for the retaining wall and stated they are proposing a trench drain for
the pool along with individual drains around the pool. The drains will be connected to a
leaching basin located outside the 100' buffer. And should the pool ever need to be
drained, the water shall be pumped and removed from the site by truck. Mr. Lyttle
explained that per the request of the Commission, he researched the possibility of a
permeable barrier. Unfortunately, it would not be possible at this time as the installation
would have needed to take place when putting in the leaching facility for the septic
system. Mr. Ketchuck inquired as to where fill would be taken when removed from the
site. Mr. Lyttle said all materials would go to appropriate places based on what is
unearthed. The Commission and Mr. Lyttle discussed the potential of a no mow area
within the 50'-75' buffer with only a mowed path in the 0'-50' buffer. Mr. Lyttle asked on
behalf of his clients to allow for some type of mowing in the 50'-75' buffer to provide an
area for recreation. Ms. Bruce stated her concern for filling within the ACEC to which
Mr. Lyttle asked for clarification on the matter. Mr. Jannell read the regulations
pertaining to fill in an ACEC into the record and a discussion relating to varies
interpretations of said regulation ensued. Mr. Michael Marnik, an abutter, stated his
concern for the manipulation of the natural topography being proposed on this property
and the impact that may have on Uncle Seth's Pond. Mr. Nadler stated that if they leave
the surrounding environments as is, the pond will remain in its current state. If they alter
the conditions on the property, it may have the potential to improve water flow. Mr. Brink
requested that fill calculations and the location of the trench drain be added to a revised
plan. Ms. Farber requested that no fertilizer or irrigation be allowed for the proposed
lawn area next to the pool.
Motion: A motion to close the Public Hearing was made by Mike Brink and seconded
by Charles Ketchuck.
Vote: 6-0-0
Motion: A motion to approve the project subject to the receipt of a revised plan showing
the trench drain, mitigation calculations, and fill volumes; and the Special Conditions
that the 0'-50' buffer shall remain a no-mow area except for the mowing of the path, the
50'-75' buffer shall be allowed a twice yearly mow, and no fertilizer or irrigation be
allowed for the lawn area adjacent to pool, was made by Mike Brink and seconded by
Charles Ketchuck.
