William Lachenauer, applicant's engineer of Hudson Engineering and Consulting, addressed the Board and explained in detail how, in his view, the recently submitted plans address the concerns of the Board, of the Town's Consulting Engineer and of the neighbors as previously voiced during the hearing on this application.

IVm Application No. 2 Property formerly known as 77 Cooper Lane - Consideration Amendment to Subdivision Steve Marsh, the applicant, addressed the Board. Mr. Marsh stated that the project is progressing smoothly and they have found an opportunity to improve drainage on Cooper Lane. The applicant Mr. Marsh seeks approval to amend the prior approved subdivision in order to install a 24 inch drainage line instead of the retention galleries on the property. Mr. Lachenauer of Hudson Engineering, applicant's engineer, designed this plan. Mr. Lachenauer described the proposed plan, stating that the new pipe will collect runoff from the 100-year storm and improve drainage along Cooper Lane by reducing water to the storm drain across the street. Dr. Mason asked why this was not in the original plan and Mr. Lachenauer stated that it is his understanding that at the time attenuation was required on site, but recent analysis indicates that the proposed plan is the better solution, both for the subdivided property and for Cooper Lane. The Board discussed the proposed drainage plan. Mr. Altieri stated that after Mr. Marsh finishes the Cooper Lane pipe line, the Town will approach the owner of the home adjacent to the falls to seek an easement to divert the water to the falls which leads to the duckpond. Mr. Rosenbaum directed counsel to prepare and circulate a draft resolution for the December meeting. The chairman directed the secretary to refer the matter to the CZMC for its upcoming meeting. The matter was adjourned to December 8, 2010 for a public hearing. IVm Motion: To adjourn the meeting at 8:54 Action: Approved Moved by Ellen Dunkin, Seconded by C. Alan Mason.
