• Sally Underwood-Miller
• Joe Gegioris
• Jamie Minacci
• Tom LaBelle
• John Hart
• Lisa Bozzuto
• Chuck Kohrer
• William Loutrel

1. Minutes approved as corrected. (Hart was misquoted. Did not say Stockbridge Bowl Stewardship Commission (SBSC) had no purpose but that it was duplicative and therefore unnecessary
2. Hart resigned as ConCom rep to SBSC; Underwood-Miller will serve as ConCom rep on SBSC
3. An ‘informal” about Pine Woods presented by Construct, Inc (owner of Pine Wood) — Minacci abstained
   1. Demolish old driveway, lay and repave new driveway
   2. No changes in drainage or location
   3. River 290 feet away but is in flood plain
   4. Land flat — control any possiblerun-off
   5. Written statement from contractor about procedure and protections
4. David McCarthy continued
5. Hired Fleetwood Environmental Solutions to advise ConCom on how to clear all these continued items.
6. Sarah Mnookin and Kelly, Granger, and Parsons for One Dugway Road – New septic
   1. Issues — an intermittent stream and across the road from Mohawk Brook.
   2. They will build three trenches in same location 60 feet from stream and 00 feet from brook — installing silt fences
   3. Await written communication from contractor — what he will do and how he will protect from erosion
7. 37 Mahkeenac Road — removal of 10 dead trees – Rrequest for Determination of Applicability (RDA).
   1. Even though dead, leave 2 because they are beneficial to the habitat — remove tops and leave 10-12 feet
   2. Do not grind stumps
   3. Negative determination
8. Steve and Olga B (orknowitch?) 17 Beachwood Drive — recent owners, Title 5 failure
   1. Connect to Town sewer at their own expense
   2. Only house in Beachwood not connected
   3. Hookup not far
   4. Asked to file RDA
9. Brief discussion of Performance Standards — anxious to finish
10. Discussion of transfer of Lake and Pond Overlay District (LPOD) from PB to ConCom
    1. LaBelle wanted to know of it can be done as ConCom is not a special permitting Commission — Underwood-Miller said Town Counsel was asked — could ask again
    2. Labelle was concerned that there were conflicts between PB and ConCom standards — Underwood-Miller said that was why the transfer was suggested — to resolve conflicts and simplify process
    3. Underwood-Miller will ask TC again and begin process.
11. Chair explained Town approved money for consultant to ConCom
    1. Fleetwood Environmental Solutions hisred for one year. David Cameron and Mark Stinson formerly of the Department of Environmental Protection Agency are the principles
    2. Knotty problems will be sent to them. Examples: when applicates bring lawyers; when applicants have approved plans but do not implement as planned; all the continued items on ConCom agenda every meeting
    3. Fleetwood can advise on enforcement — Bozzuto shared that in Great Barrington they issue a ticket — just like a parking ticket — for each day of noncompliance. The court enforces payment
    4. Chair asked that one applicant — 33 Lake Drive — be forwarded to consultants for comment and advise.
12. Interestingto note, though Stockbridge is a village is has more ConCom applications than anywhere else (perhaps) in whole state due to % of wetlands in Stockbridge

Meeting adjourned

Editor’s note: 1. Negative RDA means the applicant can proceed without ConCom ruling because the Wetland Protection Act does not apply and therefore ConCom does not have jurisdiction. 2. As with bylaw change discussed in Cemetery Commission, this change has to be voted on by both PB and ConCom, sent to SB and then to Town Meeting, and if approved, to Attorney General. 3. The continued items are matters that are unresolved because the applicant — asked to do certain things — has not and does not appear to explain or negotiate
