Commission members, city staff, and Mr. Church met on site to better understand the potential inland
wetlands violation, which is the subject of a Show Cause hearing. The Commissioners, staff, and landowner
walked on top of and around the pile, which appeared to be mostly on the 494 Newfield Road property.
Commissioners also investigated the intermittent watercourse and its outlet to the Naugatuck River under
Newfield Road. Only clarifying questions related to the location of the pile and the orientation of the
properties were asked and answered.

The site walk adjourned at 10:32 am.
