#11. NOI: 147 Bridge Road. Ahmad Arash, owner is

owner proposes constructing 4 units in a business building with a handicap ramp
on front of building. The building meets setbacks with only one minor
exception. He will use a silt fence and hay bales along the wetland for erosion
control. RL says the planning board has reviewed this plan, and the property
was flagged about 2 years ago by Oak Engineering. RW suggests waiting 2 weeks
until the wetlands can be flagged before approving. TH moves to continue until
the meeting of April 6, 2005, and suggest that a site visit be done by Mary
Rimmer with the condition that if she cannot look at the site right away, that
she let the Conservation Commission when she will be able to review the site.

changes the regulations for this project. TH motions to continue this until
March 16, 2005 and have Lisa Pearson check with the building inspector to
determine if the 50/50 rule applies. If the 50/50 rule doesn’t apply, then the
owner may continue with the project. PF seconds. Unanimous.
