She will try to obtain a copy of a report written by Wendy Goodfriend on the Lovers Lane permit application last fall.

She did a site inspection of the new school silt fences. The one closest to Route 81can be removed because the site is stabilized. The area around the other silt fencing is not ready for them to be removed. She will continue to monitor the site.

Members are waiting for additional information from the applicant.

B. Old Church Commons – Route 81 – preliminary discussion of proposal for commercial 
development
Robert Dowler submitted a request for an extension of the permit issued for the Olde Church Commons commercial project. W. Addy moved, seconded by J. Himmelman, to extend the permit for an additional five years. The motion carried unanimously.

NEW BUSINESS
A. Lovers Lane
No Request for Review form or permit form has been submitted for any activity by the Town on this road. The permit application submitted last fall was withdrawn. The pipes that were installed on the road last year are still in place. Commission members would like to have an Environmental Review Team Study done on the site, and have some borings taken, which would be paid for by the IWWC. Cathie Jefferson will get some information and report to the members at the next meeting.

B. M. & W. Richter (owner), D. Anderson and M. & A. Torres (applicant) permit application for
driveway access to building lot – Schnoor Road, Map 11, Lot 20
A permit application has been submitted for the driveway as discussed at the last meeting. The owner is looking for the free split of his property and no subdivision is proposed. The proposed driveway is in the regulated area, not the wetlands. Mr. Metcalf said silt fencing will be done by the stone wall on the site, and a wood chip berm will be added. A letter expressing concern about the project was submitted by the adjoining property owner, Moira Hollums. Mr. Metcalf was given a copy of the letter. No action can be taken at this meeting.

C. S. Matthies permit application for addition to existing house – 558 N. Roast Meat Hill Road
Jason Nemergut, from Nemergut Consulting, discussed a proposal for an addition to an existing house on North Roast Meat Hill Road. The addition, as proposed, would be within the 100’ review area and will require a permit. Members questioned if other locations and layouts that may have less impact to the wetlands have been considered. Mr. Nemergut will submit alternatives at the next meeting.

Tanko, seconded by T. White, that approval be given for construction of a boat house and barn and a permit be granted to John Federico as shown on the map “Proposed Accessory Buildings, #106 Roast Meat Hill Road, Killingworth, Connecticut”, dated 6/13/06, revised 7/11/06, with the condition that all storage for oils and/or gas be in a containment area. The motion carried with two votes in favor and one against. G. Rockwell abstained because he lives across the street from this site.
