Outerbridge Drive (Village #10) Mark McLeod -PL2018-0056CUP Mr. McLeod and Mr. Bernard begin their presentation for the Village 10 Wetland CUP they are applying for. Mr. McLeod gives a brief overview of what they are at the meeting for with the help of visual plans. The Wetland CUP is for temporary impacts to the wetland buffer. Mr. McLeod explains that the method of installing the sewer pipe (trigger for CUP) will be done by directional drilling underneath parts of the wetland/buffer. The commission asks about additional BMPs for the areas that the drilling will be done in and Mr. McLeod explains that E. Rathburn has already covered that by requesting additional silt soxx in the area of work. The commission also asks about runoff from the road and where the snow storage will be kept. Mr. McLeod says that the road areas where the drainage will run are to have a drainage swale installed to treat the water from the road. D. Anson suggests planting a rain garden instead of the proposed drainage plants. Mr. McLeod and Mr. Bernard are aggregable to this idea and D. Anson says that LCC will send them a list of plantings for the gardens/swales. The basins are to also collect runoff from snow storage melt. In addition to these suggestions, the LCC would like for a berm to be installed at the bottom of the downslope of the roads grading. The commission would additionally like for all invasive that are come across during site work to be removed and disposed of properly. M. Foote makes a motion to support the Wetland CUP for Village 10 on Outerbridge Drive in Southdown Shores and have a list of suggestions compiled at this meeting sent to the Planning Board and a copy sent to the applicant with additional comments forthcoming. L.Morin seconds the motion. https://www.laconianh.gov/AgendaCenter/GenerateMinutesFile?id=563&agendaID=714 1/3 5/22/2018 5/16/2018 - Minutes All in favor: Aye: 5 Nay: 5 The motion carried. 6.

He is requesting the LCC's recommendations for his wetland permit submission to NHDES that he will be working on before going to the Laconia Planning Board/Zoning Board. The property will need a Wetland CUP for a shed to be installed on the property wand there will be a gravel path running up to the shed from Eastman Shore Road. The path will cross wetlands where at each crossing a culvert will be stored.
