Member Creighton wants a third party brought in for an independent review. The Commission is in agreement. Amy Glassmire asked about new owners increasing the impervious surface but Member Kennedy said that would be a violation of the SWP and lead to enforcement. Chair Vogelman asked about significantly reducing the flow to "match or reduce" existing conditions_ Carmen Hudson said the stormwater requirements for reduction have been met but adjustments could be made regarding pervious surfaces. Chair Vogelman was not sure where water comes from and isn't convinced a pervious driveway or french drain can solve the problem. It was decided to solicit the services of a third party consultant to review the calculations. Carmen Hudson asked if there could be a vote on the RDA application for 15 Diab Lane. Jeff Summers said 100' buffer delineation based on MA GIS Wetlands Survey is fairly accurate and doesn't see how a move of 10'either way could have impact MOTION: By Vice Chair Pimpare to close the public hearing on RDA 16-24 and issue a Negative 2 determination for proposed work at 15 Diab Lane.
