We
have
a
new
application:
inland
wetlands
agency,
22-09,
zero
flanders,
road
or
flanders
development,
and
I
have
a
little
note
that
tabitha
this
is
your
application.
B
B
B
A
B
So
there's
there's
kind
of
two
areas
of
wetlands.
I
did
highlight
the
cover
sheet
in
yellow
I
kind
of
drew
on
the
50
foot
and
the
orange
is
the
100
foot
you
can
see
from
the
from
the
orange
the
entire
properties.
Basically
within
100
foot,
regulated
review
area,
there's
a
little
kind
of
parallelogram
located
where
the
building
is
that's.
Also
out
of
the
100
foot
regulated
review
area.
B
I
think
we
tried
to
stay
at
50
foot
with
everything
well
with
the
exception,
with
the
exception
of
where
so,
if
you,
if
we
pipe
this
and
and
the
intermittent
stream
goes
underground,
the
50
foot
would
come
across
here
from
this
wetland,
so
that
was
kind
of
our
thought
process.
You
know
we
were
a
bit
surprised
when
we
went
out
to
do
the
wetlands.
B
You
know
we
obviously
we
knew
this
and
that
there
was
going
to
be
wet
down
here,
because
there
was
some
wetlands
on
the
adjacent
property
to
the
north.
So
then,
when
we
got
into
it
and
you
know
kind
of
went
through
the
entire
site,
we
found
this
other
wetland
here
and
actually
just
was
kind
of
thinking
tonight.
B
Just
here
when
I
was
sitting
down
that
maybe
an
interesting
thought-
and
we
can
talk
about-
I
don't
know
we
can't
talk
about
this
when
we're
out
doing
the
sight
walk,
but
is
is
somehow
to
get
this
water
over
to
here
and
then
that
kind
of
would
disappear
that
it's
just
a
it's
just
a
thought
and
I
thought
I'd
throw
it
out
there,
because
I
know
that
we're
supposed
to
think
of
alternatives
and
development
of
the
site.
I
mean
we.
B
A
A
B
A
B
A
At
the
50
foot
yeah,
well,
we
pretty
much.
Could
I
just
finished
my
question
so
would
you
be
able
to
rotate
those
buildings
to
be
out
of
that
50
foot
say
we
were
even
you
know,
minimal
to
allowing
activity
within
50
feet.
You
you
understand
what
I'm
asking
you
have
space
here.
You
turn
that
and
tilt
the
other
one
too,
until
the
other.
One
too,.
A
A
I
mean
there
have
been
there
have
been
indications
where
you
have
allowed
some
typing
of
an
intermittent
water
horse.
A
few,
but
there
we
are
must
have
been
30
years
ago
must
have
been
no
gap.
Wasn't
that
wasn't
here
30
years
ago,
yeah,
it's
just
a
little
bit
over
the
30
years.
We've
been
playing
this
right
because
emma's
going
to
be
30.
B
B
Well,
the
regulations
require
I'll
get
to
the
parking
issue,
but
there's
so
there's
outside
storage.
Also,
so
you
enter
off
the
flanders,
a
two-way
entrance
and
then
there's
circulation
around
the
building
that
connects
into
this
side
and
around
basically
across
the
frontage.
So,
yes,
all
of
this
area
is
paid.
There
is
a
thanks.
B
It
said
construction
equipment,
yeah,
there'll,
be
construction
equipment
in
the
application
yeah.
It's
just
the
contractors
potentially
a
contractor's
building
so
where
it
will
have
storage
in
the
smaller
building,
that's
unheated
and
then
in
the
larger
building.
He'll
have
inside
storage
and
office
where
he
can
keep
his
equipment
as
well
as
have
his
office
space.
A
B
A
B
Yeah
so
there's
a
one:
there's
a
there's,
a
retaining
wall
that
starts
kind
of
on
this
corner
and
comes
around
and
ties
into
the
building
here.
So
everything
is,
there's
a
there's,
a
very
definitive
line
at
that
50-foot
line
and
again,
if
we
don't,
if
we
can't
pipe
this,
we'll
probably
walk
away
to
be
honest
with
you,
because
there's
just
there's
not
enough
developmental
area.
B
B
We
did
kind
of
stay
away
from
this
whole
side
of
the
wetlands,
and
you
know
this
area
pretty
well
that
again,
the
extension
of
the
culvert
is
a
big
part
of
this
project.
Without
that-
and
so
you
know
we'll
get
we'll
get
together
with
the
soil
scientists
get
it
into
the
report.
Specifics
about
that.
But
we
do,
we
did
submit
drainage
calculations.
We
are
zero.
You
know
zero
increase
in
in
in
all
the
storms,
two
through
a
hundred
zero
volume
increase,
and
I
can
go
through
that.
B
All
of
that
is
on
the
upper
within
the
within
the
walled
in
areas.
So
there's
hydrodynamic,
separators,
there's
two
of
them
at
least,
if
not
three
I'll
double
check
that,
but
which
are
all
on
the
plan
so
everything's
treated
groundwater
or
not
groundwater
roof
water
is
infiltrated
into
the
ground
prior
to
exiting.
B
B
B
B
So
any
storm
water
from
the
parking
lot
gets
treated
prior
prior
to
entering
the
ground
and
most
of
what's
going
into
the
ground
is:
there's
roof
water
from
the
two
two
buildings.
So
let
me
see
here
yeah,
it's
five
or
six
feet
along
here
and
six
five
feet
in
the
back.
It's
like
four
to
six
feet
for
the
most
part,
not
a
very
tall
wall,
but
it
makes
the
it
makes
the
property
usable
and
it
defines
a
definitive
50-foot
buffer
to
the
wetlands.
B
The
asphalt
goes
in
there,
but
it
gets
treated
prior
to
in
a
hydrodynamic
separator
for
the
most
part,
there's
a
little
bit
over
on
this
side
that
enters
it
all
is
graded
away
from
you
know
towards
the
road.
It
goes
through.
A
filter
strip
here,
grass
filter
strip
before
it
enters
an
infiltration
trench,
goes
into
a
catch
base
and
then
actually
does
get
treated.
I'm
looking
at
the
wrong
plan,
but
it.
B
B
B
B
Did
show
when
it's
just
a
kind
of
a
generic
one,
it's
a
reinforced
concrete,
which
limits
the
thickness
of
it.
If
we
do
the
versalock,
which
is
like
a
you
know,
I'm
going
to
say
mafia
blog,
because
it's
not
politically
correct
anymore,
but
they
manufactured
concrete
block.
Walls
are
kind
of
the
rage
and
much
more
affordable,
so
they
have
they're
they're
three
feet
wide.
B
B
Well,
you
would
build
it
from
the
high
side,
so
the
excavator
would
dig
standing
on
the
high
side
would
dig
down
to
the
face
of
the
wall
and
then
grade
it
and
set
that
first
block
and
then
clean
up
that
edge.
And
then
you
know,
work
its
way
work
their
way
up
all
from
the
high
side,
so
it
wouldn't
be
equipment,
with
the
exception
of
the
drainage
that.
A
B
B
B
B
A
B
B
B
B
A
B
A
B
A
And
then
the
intermittent
watercourse
certainly
has
some
boulders.
Yes
all
right.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
all
right.
No
new
applications.
Awesome
no
pending
applications,
awesome
any
old
business
that
anybody
has.
Thank
you
any
new
business
that
anyone
has
white
street
was
flooded
yesterday,
yeah
the.
B
B
A
A
And
I'm
thinking
wait,
why
are
you
driving
through
that
yeah?
Oh,
my
god,
what
are
you
thinking
anyway?
It's
a
street
came
down
so
quickly.
That's
the
thing
that
was
just
insane.
I
just
had
one
quick
question
deb.
I
called
you
a
while
ago
about
the
trees
on
route.
One
corner
route,
one
and
fish
down
road
yeah
they
are
is
that
is
that
was
that
done
by
the
state?
Do
you
know?
No,
I
don't
think
so.
I
think
it
was
the
property
owner
and
certainly
not
in
the
wetlands
no
adjacent
to
it.
