Hallowell , J . , Secretary PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 5 , 1983 PUBLIC HEARING AND SPECIAL MEETING SOUTH WINDSOR TOWN HALL MEMBERS PRESENT: Sorenson, Evans, Hallowell, Conde, Montana ALTERNATES PRESENT: Mainelli (sitting for Norman) PUBLIC HEARING 1. Application of Harold and Frances Collins, for a 1 1 t subdivision on the south side of Strong Road, approx'matel 482 feet east of Foster Road, in an RR zone. Mr. Collins was present and said he wishes to cut out a building lot for his granddaughter. It' s located 482 feet east of Foster Road, on the south side of Strong Road, and there is a sewer lateral in the middle of the road. Mr. DeMallie reported that it appears to meet the requirements, and this is the fifth lot out, leaving 68 acres. Mr. Page said Engineering has no problem with this application. 2. Application of The Balf Company for an open s ace subdivision in an RR zone, consistingof 16 lots in Phase I, on property located between Nevers Road and Abbe Road, north of Wood Pond and south of South Ridge Estates. Attorney Edwin Lassman was present on behalf of the applicant and stated that basically this is the missing link betwe n the Wood Pond and South Ridge Subdivisions . There will be ir excess of 50 acres of open space in this area, and it is passive open space. Directly across the street from this open space area is the land that goes into the school. On the east side it connects with open space of another subdivision which follows the Podunk River. it has been laid out so that lots from South Ridge now come out to A be Road, and lots from Wood Pond also come out to Abbe. Mr. Lassman then said he would like Mr. Lucek to explain the drainage, and since this application is closely related to the next. application on the agenda (Wood Pond, Section III) he requested that Mr. Lucek be permitted to explain the drainage on both applicationd at one time. Attorney William Grace was present, and said he represents the third applicant and felt it would be easier to hear both matters at once. Mrs. Montana said she would permit them to explain the drainage at the same time, but that the next application will be heard Separately. Mr. Lucek explained that there will be a total of 44 lots in this subdivision. Fourteen will be to the north and 30 to the south which will attach to the Wood Ponds subdivision. Section I consists of the first 16 lots coming in from Nevers Road and ends in a cul-de-sac, with a stub street to the east. Section II would be the connection of that road into what is now Meadowbrook Road in the Wood Ponds subdivision. Sanitary sewers are in Nevers Road and would serve the southerlY30 lots. The northerly lots would be served by a sewer which the Town installed several years ago which starts In Abbe Road opposite Garnet Lane and runs across the open space and out to Nevers Road. The 14 northerly lots will be served by that sewer. Planning & Zoning Commission -2- 4/5/83 The drainage is carefully interwoven between the two subdivisons. All of the Wood Pond subdivision drains into a detention pond in the western part of the site just off Nevers Road. It was a requirement of the Town that that pond flow to the north through the Balf property to a point just short of the Russo property. An outlet structure was constructed that creates a detention facility that serves that subdivision. The outlet from that pond goes through another Town owned easement along Nevers Road and drops into the Podunk River near the intersection of Graham & Nevers, just opposite the school property. The drainage at the end of Meadowbrook Road in Wood Pond is carried along the new Meadowbrook in the Balf land and out into the same detention pond. Mr. Lucek went on to say that all lots conform to the open space computations. There is water in Nevers Road and other utilities are available. The average lot size is about 25 , 000 s. f. which conforms to the lot sizes in the adjacent subdivisions. Out of the 155 acres in the South Ridge, Wood Pond and Balf (Savin Woods) subdivisions , a total of approximately 56 acres is being turned over to the Town for open space. Town Engineer Page reported that Mr. Lucek fairly well represented the concerns of the Engineering Department, and they have had numerous meetings concerning this area. Drainage has been solved, however, details concerning catch basins in the street, etc. need to be worked out inthe final plans. Mr. Page said he spoke with Mr. Lucek concerning this ani there are no problems. Some of the pipe sizes might have to be increased. Mr. Page went on to say that Mr. Kaye of Savin Brothers, Inc. was very cooperative with the Town in obtaining a solution to not only some of these drainage problems that could not be worked out without the owners getting together, but also with working out the road network. Mr. DeMallie, Planning Director, stated that with the addition of this open space, the Town will have about 63 acres of continuous Podunk , River open space and lands adjacent to it. The Town could end up with a Podunk River conservation area extending for miles. The key map should show Wood Ponds access east of Lot #1 and the "s" from Woods Ponds should be removed. Street names should be approved by the Fire Marshal, and Mr. DeMallie questioned the name Savin Woods as well as Garnet Lane west of Abbe, and said they possibly should be changed. The Phase I line should be added to Sheet #2 . Lot and open space computations appear to be correct. Sheet #3 should show two front yards and two side yards on Lot #22. Sheet #3 should have a broken line indicating the sanitary right-of-way north of Lots #24 and #25 . Areas of open space should be indicated onthe plot plan. It should also show that the cul-de-sac east of Lots 21 and #26 is temporary. Planning & Zoning Commission -3- 4/5/83 Mr. DeMallie went on to say that the finished grades could be added to the topographic map, and all this open space will be the subject of an Environmental Review Team report shortly which has been requested by the Public Facilities Task Force. He suggested that perhaps an open space plan should be submitted showing improvements to this open space, but most of it should be left in its natural state. He suggested that open space areas should be identified where they begin and where lots end, perhaps ith an occasional pine tree. No one in the audience spoke in favor of this application . Mr. Earl Riechle of 247 Abbe Road spoke in opposition to this application, citing the historic background of the Podunk River, possible pollution, and said if development is permitted the Town should require the lot sizes to be doubled. He also noted that there is a tree with a cicumference of 28 ' in the area which is believed to be the oldest tree in the State, and it should not be cut down. Commissioner Mainelli noted that a lot of study has been done, but he is concerned with the Podunk River and would like some assurance that the drainage is adequate and the Town doesn' t end uF with another Avery Brook situation. Mr. Lucek pointed out the 100 year flood lines on the ma , and said that none of the drainage goes directly into the Podunk, and outlined the way the drainage goes. Mr. Mainelli asked if Mr. Lucek was saying there is no additional run off into the river,and Mr. Lucek said yes. Mr. Mainelli asked about the parcel owned by Covensky, and Mr. Lucek said he believes Mr. Covensky has plans to develop it and the Commission might be receiving an application soon. Mr. Page referred Mr. Mainelli to page 1 of the plans, a d said the Town handles drainage differently today than it did when Avery Brook area was developed- :-The upstream watershed to the east a d north of Abbe Road is about 500 acres and is relatively undeveloped. 7he Town does not allow any development in that flood plain zone area. Even assuming there is no detention upstream, and there will be when it ' s developed, the 100 year flood will not hinder this development. Al2 the water from these two subdivisions is directed into the large detention basin along Nevers Road, which is about 1, 000 feet long, and is allowed to build up and eventually flows through a minute orific . The Town has easements all the way down to the Podunk. The detention pond is very large in area, but very shallow. Mr. Mainelli questioned whether the lots conform in size and Mr . Lucek said they do. Commissioner Conde questioned the access to the open spade and it was determined that there is 10 ' on the Wood Pond application which will be heard next, and 20 ' on this application for a total of 301 . Planning & Zoning Commission -4- 4/5/83 Commissioner Hallowell noted that the lots should be numbered consecutively from Lot #1 through #44 , and not shown as Lots #1 through #14 , and from #1 through #30 . He said it would avoid confusion in the future. He then asked whether Savin Brothers intends to develop this subdivision itself, and Mr. Lassman noted that they are negotiating with the adjacent developer, and they will not develop it themselves. Mrs. Montana told Mr. DeMallie she did not like his comments concerning putting the open space in "suitable condition" , and does not want it cleaned up and manicured. Mr. DeMallie said there are some areas where cosmetic things and cleaning up is necessary, and access points should be identified by installing an occasional evergreen in spots. Mrs. Montana said that possibly in the future the Commission could ask for a report of what exists in open space areas. Mrs. Evans asked Mr. DeMallie what portion of the open space is necessary for drainage, and Mr. Page said he and Mr. DeMallie would get together and figure it out. He said he thought it might be around one-half in the Wood Ponds subdivision. Mrs. Evans asked if the Town had conservation easements on this area, and Mr. Page said not yet, but that the applicant was going to Inland Wetlands next week. Mr. Sorenson asked Mr. Lucek to define where the open space areas were, and Mr. Lucek pointed them out on the map, and said there will be a total of 18. 44 acres given to the Town, with another 7 . 96 acres deeded over to Wood Ponds, who in turn will deed it over to the Town in order to fulfill their requirements. Mr. Sorenson then asked the elevations of the 100 year flood area, and Mr. Lucek said its 198 near Covensky' s property and about 180 near Nevers Road. Mr. Mainelli asked Mr. DeMallie why he feels this open space is so valuable and desirable, and Mr. DeMallie said there would be less urban area sprawling out, and a larger conservation area in this sensitive part of Town. He noted that also the precedent was set when South Ridge was approved. Mr. Mainelli then asked Mr. Riechle where the old tree was located, and Mr. Riechle said it was to the south of Garnet Road. 3. Application of 50 Acres, Ltd. for approval of Section III of Wood Pond subdivision, consisting of 20 lots, in an open space subdivision located between Nevers Road and Abbe Road in an RR zone. Attorney William Grace was present on behalf of this applicant and said the original subdivision was approved in June of 1977. In March of 1982 another 12 lots were approved in Phase II. The applicant is _ planning & Zoning Commission -5- 4/5/83 now asking for approval of the final 20 lots. One of this Commission' s requirements had been that the road continue through to Abbe, and another requirement was acquiring more open space. The road will continue through and connect with Abbe, and the applicant has an agreement with Balf Company to acquire 7. 96 acres, which in turn will be deeded over to the Town. Mr. Emil Lucek then stated that originally Meadowbrook R ad ended in a cul-de-sac, but now it is intended to go north through the Savin Woods subdivision. Wood Pond Road originally uas to have lots only on one side, and now it will be moved slightly to the north and will have lots on both sides. Mr. Lucek noted that Mrs. Evans had made a comment durinc the previous public hearing concerning flooding near Eli Ter y School several years ago, and he was aware of this since Mr. Ca ney on Nevers Road was constantly complaining about flooding. However, since the detention pond was put in there have been no p oblems in this location. He noted he already explained how thE drainage will work in the previous application. Mr. Grace said that LaCava has built the last 12 homes, and this is one of the nicest subdivisions in Town. He said LaCava will build the houses in the next section also, and noted that the own has always wanted to acquire the land around the Podunk. Mrs. Montana asked if this applicant will still purchase the 7 . 96 acres from Savin Brothers if that application is not app owed, and Mr. Grace said no, and in that case they will not have enough open space for this subdivision. Mr. DeMallie noted this applicant was originally 4 . 98 ac es short, and now have 7 . 9 acres which more than meets the requirements. They have increased the number of lots by 6 , and also increased the average lot size. He said the Commission should require a new 40 scale A-2 open space map representing all the open space, and the access points should be defined. On the key map the line between Lots 24 and 25 should be cleaned up, and the limits of Phase III should be defined. The finished grades should be shown on the topographic map, and the line should be removed between the open space and the open space access. Town Engineer Page reported that back in 1976 work start d on South Ridge Estates and the detention basin was designed and o tained by working with the owners of Wood Pond and Mr. Veilleux o South Ridge. This area can handle all the storm water contained in the pond, and everything works from a drainage standpoint. No one in the audience spoke in favor of this application or in opposition to it. Commissioner Sorenson referred to a strip of open space Detween this subdivision and the Savin Woods subdivision, and said it could end up becoming someone' s back yard,and it should be defined as being open space. Mr. Grace noted that the purpose of o en space Planning & Zoning Commission -6- 4/5/83 could be defeated if it is too carefully defined. Mrs. Montana said the Commission was thinking of something in the way of merestones. Mr. Hallowell noted that too often owners of lots think the open space belongs to them and go so far as to throw other taxpayers off Town owned land. He said he feels these areas should be defined. Mr. Conde said the Commission should be sure drainage easements back and forth between these two applicants are obtained. Mr. Mainelli said he agreed with Mr Sorenson, and these small areas of open space are not desirable and will be difficult to identify. Mr. DeMallie said that many of these small strips that were originally contemplated in Phase III have been removed. Mr. Mainelli asked if any of the water will go into the Podunk River and Mr. Lucek said no. Mr. Conde pointed out an area on Page 3 of the plans that appeared to go into the river. Mr. Page said that as soon as the road is built it will no longer flow to the river. There being no further comments the public hearing was adjourned. SPECIAL MEETING 1. Society for- Savings, Amended Site Plan, Buckland & Ellington Roads Mr. William Jensen of Close, Jensen & Miller, and Mr. John Masser from Society for Savings were present. The Commissioners reviewed the revised site plan which outlined the traffic flow, parking areas, and landscaping. the overall dimensions of the proposed building is 24 ' x 12 ' . They plan to meet with the police regarding security precautions. The areas along Ellington and Buckland near the property line will be cleaned up. Mr. DeMallie asked if the Bank was willing to give the Town enough land at the southeast corner of the inter- section so that eventually the turning lane could be improved, and Mr. Masser said he believed the Bank would be willing. Mr . Conde made a motion to approve the amended site plan as shown on the plan prepared by Close, Jensen & Miller, dated March, 1983 . 1. The South Windsor Police Department should be contacted regarding security precautions. 2. A $2 , 500 bond shall be submitted to this Commission to ensure completion of landscaping as shown on the plan. A 24" x 36" mylar, with the approval letter of this Commission reproduced thereon, bearing an A-2 certification, shall be submitted to this Commission to be stamped and signed, and then filed in the Town Clerk' s Office. A building permit will not be issued until the above conditions have been complied with and the mylar has been filed. (OMN 8E� y -awn O-P s W&� 1540 SULLIVAN AVENUE • SOUTH WINDSOR, CONN.

App. #903 - The Balf Company - Savin Woods Subdivisi n App. #904 - 50 Acres, Ltd. - Wood Ponds, Section III Mr. Hallowell said he questions the validity of the application of Wood Ponds and noted that the application cannot stand on its own and is based on the approval of the Savin Woods application. He said that applications that cannot stand on their own sh uld not be submitted. He raised a question as to what would happen to the Wood Ponds subdivision, if the Commission denies the Savin Woods application. The secretary told the Commissioners the attorney for Wood Ponds told her he would withdraw the application if Savin Woods was denied. Chairperson Montana said the question the Commission should consider is whether this large tract of open space land should be acquired for the Town. She read the letter of approval dated April 20 for Savin Woods and said IWA approved Lots #1 through 6 and 21 thr ugh 30. Mr. Hallowell said the drainage on Meadowbrook Road in $b Wood Ponds application is dependent upon the Savin Woods approval, nd Mr. Page, Town Engineer, noted that only a very -small portion of M adowbrook drains onto Savin property and that he personally does n t think it is a problem. Mr. Hallowell raised questions about whet er all the lots requested in both applications should be approved and a lengthy discussion ensued. Mr. Page said that he has walked this entire area and the open space areas are probably some of the most beautiful land in Town, and it is the kind of open space land the Town would like to acquire. Mrs. Montana suggested the Commission should limit its discussion to the Savin Woods development first. Mr. Hallowell said he has no problem with the proposed Savin Woods subdivision, but he does have a problem with Savin Bros. and noted that this Commissior has not re- ceived any cooperation from them regarding the industrial development. He said if this subdivision is approved the Commission should require a substantial amount of bonds to ensure its proper completion. Mrs. Evans and Mrs. Montana agreed, and Mrs. Evans noted that Lot #30 has a substantial portion of it in the detention area, and questioned how it could be redesigned. Mr. Hallowell said he didn' t think more than 12 lots should be approved, and suggested that #26, 25, 24 and 23 not be. approved. Mr. Norman said he can' t see the difference between approving the 16 lots or 12 lots, and the applicant would have to come back for 4 more lots in Phase I, plus the 1 is in Phase II. Mrs. Montana questioned whether it was economically feasible to make them build the cul-de-sac twice. Mrs. Evans said the Commission Planning & Zoning Commission -2- 5/17/83 should either remove all the lots on the cul-de-sac or leave it alone. She also noted that there is a Meadow Road in $he surrounding area and the proposed "Meadowbrook" could cause confusion. it was also noted there is a Savin Road in Town, and"Savin Wood" could cause confusion. Mr. Hallowell said that the Commission should review the amounts of the bonds that will be required, and that it should not accept Letters of Credit or anything other than surety bonds issued by insurance companies, so they can be held indefinitely. Mr. Hallowell then moved approval of App. #903, The Balf Company, for an open space subdivision in an RR zone, located between Nevers and Abbe Roads, as shown on plans prepared by Lucek Engineering Assoc. , Inc. , dated February 6 , 1983, entitled Project 83-1, subject to the following modifications: 1.

App. #907 - Windshire Abbe Estates, Ltd. , Phase II Mrs. Montana referred to a letter fromthe applicant' s att rney stating they would be willing to provide public water to this subdivision if required by the Commission. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding Planning & Zoning Commission -8- 5/17/83 acquiring open space land for the Town now rather than waiting until the last phases of this development. The Commissioners agreed that they didn' t want another situation like Wood Ponds to occur where in the final phases of a sub divison there wasn' t enough desirable open space land available. They further agreed that in view of the way this area is being developed with Phases I and II being conventional subdivisions in AA-30 zones, and Phase IV and V being open space subdivisions in RR zones, plus the fact that they don' t know how Phase III will look, determining open space areas is difficult. Mr. DeMallie suggested the Commission hold the deed for the area of Phase III in escrow, and Mr. Hallowell pointed out that that land is mortgaged and would be of no value to the Town. He suggested one lot from Phase II be held in escrow and the other Commissioners concurred and agreed Lot #29 should be held in escrow as open space. There was further discussion concerning modifications to the plans and Mrs. Evans moved approval of theabove application as shown on plans prepared by Fuss & O'Neill, dated February 7 , 1983, entitled Proj . No. 82-119A, consisting of 7 pages, subject to the following modifications: s 1. This approval is for 14 lots, numbered 15 through and including 28 , as shown on the aforesaid plans. 2. An open space deed to the Town of South Windsor for Lot #29 shall be delivered to this Commission prior to filing the final plans.

The S&WCD referred this request to the Eastern Connecticut Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Area Executive Committee for th it considera- tion and approval as a project measure. The request was approved and the measure reviewed by the Eastern Connecticut Environmental Review Team (ERT). The soils of the site were mapped by a soil scientist of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Soil Conservation Service (SCS) . Reproductions of the soil survey map as well as a topographic map of the site werE distributed to all ERT participants prior to their field review of the site. The ERT that field-checked the site consisted of the following personnel: Bill Warzecha, Geologist, State Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) ; Jim Parda, Forester, DEP; Vern Anderson, District Conservationist, CS; Wil Maxwell, Land Use Planner, Capitol Region Council of Governments; and Jeanne Shelburn, ERT Coordinator, Eastern Connecticut RC&D Area. The Team met and field-checked the site on Thursday, August 25 1983. Reports from each Team member were sent to the ERT Coordinator for review and summariza- tion for the final report. The report is not meant to compete with private consultants by supplying site designs or detailed solutions to development problems. This report identi- fies the existing resource base and evaluates its significance to the proposed development and also suggests considerations that should be of conc rn to the developer and the Town of South Windsor. The results of this Team ction are oriented toward the development of a better environmental quality a d the long- term economics of the land use. The Eastern Connecticut RC&D Project Committee hopes you "will find this re- port of value and assistance in making your decisions on the particular site.

INTRODUCTION The Eastern Connecticut Environmental Review Team was asked to prepare a natural resource inventory for a 60 acre town-owned open space area The parcels • are located between Nevers Road and Abby Road in the town of South Windsor. Al- though irregularly shaped, they form a contiguous open space area between the South Ridge Estates, Wood Ponds Estates and Savin Woods subdivision 3. For ease of identification in this report, the parcels have been given numerical designa- tions. Parcel 1 is the northernmost section, Parcel 2 is the middla section, and Parcel 3 is the southernmost site. The Team has provided detailed natural resource base informati n in the fol- lowing sections of this report. Although the town originally was c ncerned with maintaining these parcels in their natural state for passive recreation, the Team has recommended a number of alternatives. These sites could accomm date a viable mix of active and passive recreation activities. For example, the northwestern section of Parcel 1 would be a suitable area for a town-wide active recreation facility, incorporating ball fields, a soccer field and parking are . Direct access from Nevers Road would not pose a major traffic problem to aio ea residents. Areas 2 and 3 should be considered for "neighborhood only" use and eft in their natural state, enhanced for wildlife management or developed minimaly with nature trails. In all cases, access to Parcels 2 and 3 should be limited one or two sites and should be well defined. Use of the finger-like accessway3 between lots should be avoided. The town may wish to consider deeding these nar ow pieces back to adjacent land-owners. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT TOPOGRAPHY All three parcels of land are irregularly shaped and have a co biped acreage of approximately 60 acres. They are all located in the northwest part of town between Nevers Road and Abby Road. The topography of Parcel 1 consists of a relatively flat to gently rolling terrain. Slopes in the easternmost portion of the parcel are moderate. The Podunk River flows in a southeast to northwest course through the parcel. Sand and gravel had been extracted from various points on the parcel in the past, however, it is not presently being mined. Parcel 2 has a terrain which is relatively flat to gently rolling. A wet- land area, which collects stormwater runoff from an adjoining subdivision, occupies the western portion of the parcel. Parcel 3 is linear-shaped and relatively narrow. Its topography is generally flat throughout. Elevations on all three parcels range from a low of approximately 190 feet above mean sea level along Nevers Road to approximately 240 feet above mean sea level throughout the western limits of the sites. -3- Surficial Geolog 0 660� scale Am • r ■ ■ ■ o ■ 0 °0 CO 0 I o °° ° 0 • °0 ° ° 0 ° • o 0 • o °O 0 0 C o ° ♦ • °° O O 0 0 _1 • 0 0 o °G 00 O ■ ° ° ° • ' 0 • • '•• /� °000 .... .. ... . 00 00 0 00 ■ • • ID0 • 0 0 • 0° °0• 000 a 00 ■ 0 0 0 • o0 0 00 ° o 0 • 0000 0 0 0 o •0 00 • °o 0 0 • ■ °° ■ D 000 0 O • .

Colton (1965). This map is available at the Department of Environmental Protection's Natural Resources Center in Hartford. Only one rock unit, Portland Arkose, under- lies or crops out on the site. This unit consists of a reddish bram and gray arkosic (rich in feldspar) siltstone, sandstone and conglomerate. he rock unit outcrops in the southeast section of Parcel 1 along the streambed of the Podunk River. Depth to bedrock in the eastern portions of Parcel 1 is gen rally less than 10 feet below ground surface. However, depth to bedrock on the remainder of Parcel 1 as well as Parcel 2 and 3 ranges between 10 and 50 feet below ground surface. Surf icial geologic materials, or those deposits which overlie 3olid bedrock have also been mapped and described in the Geologic Map of the Manc ester Quadrangle. The distribution of deposits or each parcel, as adapted from Colton s map, is shown in an accompanying illustration. Essentially four types of d posits are shown: till, stratified drift, alluvium and swamp deposits. Till, which was deposited directly by glacier ice, covers the 3olid bedrock primarily in the more elevated areas, east of the Podunk River on P rcel 1, along the eastern and southern fringe of Parcel 2, and throughout the cen ral portions of Parcel 3. It contains an assortment of particles removed from b drock out- crops and pre-existing surf icial deposits by the moving ice. These particles range in size from clay to boulders and in shapes from round to ang lar to flat. As a result, till varies in texture from sandy and loose to hard, silty and com- pact. Another type of overburden deposited from glacier ice is stratified drift. It covers bedrock primarily west of the Podunk River on Parcel 1 with minor amounts along the eastern border, most of Parcel 2, and the extreme eastern and western limits of Parcel 3. It consists of rock particles that were washed out of the wasting glacier by meltwater streams and redeposited in a generally sorted and layered sequence. Sand and gravel are the major components of the stratified drift found on the parcels. Its color ranges from a pale, yellowisa brown to a grayish red to reddish brown. Thickness of the stratified drift Dn all parcels ranges between 10 and 50 feet below land surface. "Alluvium" is a surficial deposit found along the banks of the Podunk River on Parcel 1 as well as along the unnamed stream emanating from wetlands in the western portion of Parcel 2. It consists of recent stream deposits of laminated gray silt and sand. Thickness of alluvial deposits along the Podunk River are generally 20 feet and probably much less along the unnamed stream. Swamp deposits which consist of a mixture of grayish, sharp brown peat, muck, silt, sand and clay overlie stratified drift in the western portions of Parcels 1 and 2. Both swamp sediments and alluvium are post-glacial deposits. HYDROLOGY All three parcels lie within the watershed of the Podunk River. Runoff from Parcel 3 flows towards the western limit of the site into a natural swale.

Runoff from Parcel 1 flows either into the unnamed stream to the west or the Podunk River. The drainage area that supplies the Podunk River up to the point where it leaves the northern portion of Parcel 1 is shown in the accompanying illustration. Approximately 1 .93 square miles or 1,273 acres are contained within this area. FLOOD PRONE AREAS The flood prone areas bordering the Podunk River, as well as low lying areas, have been identified in a map prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. A reproduction of part of that map, which identifies the approximate boundaries for a 100 and 500 year flood is included in the accompanying illustration. A 11100" year flood is a flood with a 1% chance of occurring in any given year whereas the "500" year flood has a one chance in 500 (.2%) of occurring in any given year. It should be noted that this does not mean a flood of 100 or 500 year magnitude would occur only once in 100 or 500 years, respectively. The chance of occurrence remains the same each year, regardless of what happens the year before. Although the map does not indicate flood prone areas in Parcels 2 and 3, low lying areas within the western limits may be prone to flooding during wet times of the year or during periods of heavy precipitation. SOILS The soils on this parcel, as mapped in The Hartford County Soil Survey, are: Excessively drained soils - those soils which have a depth to the water table of over 6 feet and rapid to very rapid permeability throughout the soil profile. MgC - Manchester gravelly sandy loam, 3 to 15 percent slopes Well drained soils - those soils which have a depth to the water table over 6 feet. EsA - Enfield silt loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes EsB - Enfield silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes EsA2 - Enfield silt loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes eroded EsB2 - Enfield silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes eroded EsC2 - Enfield silt loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes eroded NgB - Narragansett stony silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes NgC - Narragansett stony silt loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes Moderately well drained soils - those soils which have a depth to the water table between 1.5 and 3.0 feet.

Prime farmland has the soil quality, a grow- ing season and moisture supply needed to economically produce sustained high yields of crops when treated and managed, including water management according to accept- able farming methods. However, on this site much of the acreage of these soils has been disturbed and therefore, affected the quality of the soil. A detailed on-site soils investigation would be needed to identify the undisturbed soils from these disturbed soils. The remaining soils--Scarboro and Saco--are desig- nated as inland wetland soils. A permit from the Town inland wetlands agency would be needed if any development were to occur on these soils. The area located in the northwest corner adjacent to Nevers Road has poten- tial to be developed for recreational uses such as baseball, football, and soccer fields. The soil material there is suitable for these uses. The area is located far enough away from the homes on Old Farms Road to permit this development. This parcel also is located in a favorable position to allow access to much of the remaining land along the Scantic River. During the pre-review meeting, it was mentioned that dirt bikes have been a problem on some of this open space land. It does not appear to be realistic to expect that these vehicles will disappear, so perhaps identifying a designated area for these vehicles is needed. The area which could be used for the athletic fields may be such an area. A dirt bike course could be planned in conjunction with these other uses. Obviously, there may be undesirable affects such as noise and dust pollution. With proper planning and cooperation among interested parties, perhaps a course could be developed. A noise barrier of conifers and/or wood, enforcement of muffler devices, earth berms, are some possible measures which could be used. The purpose here is simply to provide additional use for this town open space. The Soil Conservation Service is available to assist the town in developing a conservation plan for this area. A permanent grass mixture of Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue (80%) and Annual Rye Grass (20%) of 50 lbs per acre should be planted in heavy use areas such as woods, roads and trails and a minimum of 150-250 lbs per acre used for athletic fields. Plantings to be in spring (April 15 - June 15) or fall (August 15 - October 1) . Lime according to soil test or 2 tons of ground limestone per acre. Fertilize according to soil test or 600 lbs of 10-10-10 fertilizer or equivalent per acre. Windbreak and screening could be established along the Russo property and along Nevers Road. Plant two rows of evergreens either even or staggered and one row of fruiting shrubs. Suggested planting configurations are shown in the accompanying illustration. -10- Suggested Planting Configuration 1`IEVER`� RoA� � ��� r�,►E�SC�EEt�IS Russo .

A system of walking trails could be developed to connect all the parcels. The trails could be used in conjunction with a conservation outdoor education (COE) area. Types of trails are: a theme or story trails nature trail , or miscellaneous trail . A small area could be an outdoor class- room. The COE could be used by schools in the Town for field trips as well as residents. Other alternatives for using the parcel in the northwest corner rext to Nevers Road are to develop it as a parcour exercise course, or even a Frisbee "golf" course. This part of parcel has much potential for active recreation use. The remaining areas behind the homes is robably best suited for passive recreation such as the trails mentioned is well as wildlife habitat. The gravel excavation should be regraded and reshaped to no stee er than 3 to 1 slope. A permanent grass mixture of Kentucky 31 Tall Fes ue (60%) 24 lbs per acre and Crownvetch (40%) 15 lbs per acre should be p anted April 1 - June 15. Shrubs such as Bristly Locust or Autumn Oliv also to be planted in rows 4 feet apart. If 4 inches of topsoil is a ded, , Orchard Grass or Brome Grass may be used as a ground cover for wildlife uses. -11- VEGETATION The three open space parcels can be divided into eight vegetation areas which includes 31 acres of mixed hardwood forest, 17 acres of open field, 3 acres of gravel pit, 4 acres of old field brush. Vegetation Type Descriptions TYPE 1: Open Field: open soil, sumac, aspen, golden rod, queen anne's lace, blackcherry, grasses, grey birch, dogwood, bayberry, white pine hedgerow, rasp- berry. (10 acres) TYPE 2: Mixed Hardwoods: white ash, willow, grape, multi-flora rose, cotton wood, red maple, ironwood, swamp white oak, spicebush. This stand lies along the Podunk River flood plain and is subject to seasonal wetness. Most trees are pole sized. (6 acres) TYPE 3: Open Field: golden rod, milkweed, fern, silky dogwood, speckled alder, grape, wildflowers. (3 acres) TYPE 4: Mixed Hardwoods: aspen, white ash, oaks, blackcherry, grey birch, grape, meadowsweet, raspberry, goldenrod, speckled alder. This is a seedling- sapling sized stand. (5 acres) TYPE 5: Old Field: staghorn sumac, dwarf sumac, dewberry, raspberry, multi- flora rose, aspen, scarlet oak, poison ivy, white ash, red maple. This is an old field in the early stages of succession to hardwood forest. (4 acres) TYPE 6: Open Field: exposed soil. (4 acres) TYPE 7: Gravel Pit. (3 acres) TYPE 8: Mixed Hardwoods: red oak, white ash, black birch, red maple, white oak, beech, fern, spicebush, poison ivy. (25 acres) Limiting Conditions and Potential Hazards Potential hazards include large dead limbs on several large trees which should be pruned off if they are adjacent to a hiking trail. It should be noted that trails in types 2 and 3, the Podunk River flood plain, if used extensively, could experience soil compaction after several years. Vehicular use should be excluded from these areas. Management Considerations Management is limited on this tract as it is to be used for passive recrea- tion and preservation. White pine and larch can be planted in the gravel pit to prevent erosion and provide aesthetic enhancement. The Podunk River should have a "buffer strip" up to 100 feet wide where pos- sible to protect the water from direct sun and rising water temperatures which kill fishlife. -12- Vegetation C 60 scaie N t - 1 � � b ° 7 EXPLANATION w 2 Dirt Road (sewer easement) 2- Paved Town Road 8 ��•.

The trails would have to be mowed twice per summer. Trails also should be well marked. As the Town wishes to leave this area for passive recreation over most of the area management will do little to effect the aesthetics of the area. Type 7 can be planted to white pine and larch and a hedgerow planting of white pine could be done in type 1 to separate type 1 and 3. Large trees should be retained along trails as points of interest for hikers. Type 3 produces many late summer wildflowers and should be left as it is, if possible. WATER SUPPLY Water for any purpose could probably be drawn either from areas of thick stratified drift deposits within the parcels or by tapping the underlying sedi- mentary bedrock. Based on information supplied by Availability of Ground Water, Manchester Quadrangle (R. B. Ryder, 1958), individual wells tapping the thicker stratified drift deposits overlying bedrock within the parcels can be expected to yield less than 25 gallons per minute (gpm) . Another source of water within each parcel is the underlying bedrock, which, based on Ryder's map, can be expected to yield moderately high yields ranging from less than 10 gallons per minute to as much as 60 gallons per minute. A study of well data for a well north of the parcels, which taps the same bedrock unit reported a yield of 50 gallons per minute at depth of 104 feet. Therefore, it seems likely that if the town wished to utilize an on-site well within any of the parcels, it could probably do so by tapping the underlying bedrock or areas of thick stratified drift deposits. The natural quality of the groundwater on all sites should probably be moderate to good. PLANNING CONCERNS The existing gravel pit area should be carefully restored. Section 9 of the South Windsor Zoning Regulations covers sand and gravel operations and provides procedures for the restoration of such operations. Hopefully the operation was initially approved under these regulations. In any event, the Commission may certainly require that certain conditions be met as part of the subdivision ap- proval. The occasional narrow and sliver-like access points to open space areas should be avoided, if possible. Experience has shown that such access points, if not clearly defined, tend to disappear and become part of abutting lots. Regardless of the width, 20 feet, 40 feet, or more, when they are required between lots it would be appropriate to define them with some physical feature such as monuments, piers, fences, walls, or paved walkway. On the Town's tour of the open space parcels, we came across a piece of property defined as open space east of Nevers Road and one lot distance south of Old Farm Road. It appears that this parcel could be used for several types of active recre- - ation pursuits for residents of this expanding neighborhood, or perhaps even the -14- entire community. The area is sufficiently large to accommodate ball fields, soccer fields, tennis and handball courts, etc. Also, the land is of sufficient size to accommodate off-street parking for those users of the facilities. The Podunk River meanders through this area but should not deter the future installa- tion of these facilities if carefully designed. -15- Appendix �- -( cranb rry, hi9 hbush PLANTS FOR CONSERVATION IN THE NORTHEAST USDA - SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE CONSERVATION PLANT SHEET-40 HIGHBUSH CRANBERRY (Viburnum trilobum Marsh.) Uses : Highbush cranberry is a good wild- Ti fe food and cover plant for small mammals and birds. Twigs are eaten by deer, moose and beaver. Fruits are a staple winter ' food for ruffed grouse and are eaten spar- ingly by pheasants and at least five spe- cies of songbirds. Humans find the fruit ` ` ► '� ' tart but edible and excellent as a preserve or sauce. The shrub is useful as a medium- tall hedge or border for screening or a windbreak. It is an attractive flowering landscape plant for use in odd areas or in group plantings .around homes and farm ponds. ' The fruit is a bright red which increases its ornamental value. Combined, its char- ' acteristics make it useful as a dual pur- pose food plant and ornamental . Description: An erect native shrub, aver- aging in height from 6 to 10 feet, occa- sionally taller on good sites. The plants are multi-stemmed but do not form thickets by spreading. Close branching makes for dense shrub. The leaves are opposite, 3-lobed like m ple leaves and from 2 to 5 inches long. In the fall the leaves become sca let. The creamy-white flowers , which appear in late May and early June, measure 3 to 4 inches across. Each bloom is composed of an outer ring of large sterile flowers and an inner ring of tiny fertile ones. The fruit, which ripens in September and October, resembles the true cranberry in size and color but is more translucent when ripe. Fruit hangs on the branches all wiliter. Varieties: There are no varieties of highbush cranberry. Ada tation: Highbush cranberry is adapted throughout the NortIleast, althoughTistribution is widely scattered throughout much of its range. 1 -1�- r" -2- It is found growing in well-drained, imper- fectly drained, and poorly drained, but not ZONE OF PRINCIPAL droughty soils. Soil pH is not critical , but for best results soil should be reason- ADAPTATION IN THE ably fertile. NORTHEAST Establishment: Establish hedges or block p anti ngs by using bare root or container grown stock. Plant 2 year old nursery seedlings. If planting your own seed, it takes 2 years for them to germinate. When establishing a planting, prepare a good bed by plowing a few furrows . or by Viburnum tri lobum removina at least four square feet of sod for each plant. Apply 2 tablespoons of 5-10-5 or any complete fertilizer around the plant after establishment. For the first 2 years, either culti- vate, weed, or mulch with straw, hay, or sawdust to control competition. During the early years of establishment remove all competing vegetation. As a wildlife border along the edge of woods, plant the highbush cranberry one or two rows between the open fields and t{le trees. Space each plant 5 or t 6 feet apart. As a hedge where a medium-tall screen is desired, plant 2 rows 2 feet apart with staggered spacing or one row with one foot spacing. 1n an odd area or group planting around a pond, plant in the center or behind low- growing shrubs. Full growth of the shrub requires 5-10 years. References: Edminster, Frank C. , and May, Richard M. 1951. Shrub Plantings for Soil conservation and Wildlife Cover in the Northeast.

Useful for vegetating acid soils with a pH of 3.5 to 4.0, as well as alkaline soils of a pH 8.0. Especially adapted to stabilizing soils with active do rill and gully erosion. Bristly locust is primarily 0i used for surface mine spoil reclamation, industrial waste piles, roadbanks , cuts and fills, etc. A Value for wildlife food, is minimal , but is a very attractive' shrub when in bloom. Decription : It is an open branched, straggly, woody legume of vig rus growth. Attains a height of 8 to 10 feet in a few years , but norm lly when planted on critical sites will grow no taller than 6 to 7 fee It spreads rapidly on some sites by root suckers , particularly thoe ' soils light in texture. Where, herbaceous plants are dense, spreading is seve-rly restricted. Spreading by seed would be similar -to that of black locust. Numerous small leaflets comprise the compound leaf that occurs alter- nately on the bristled covered branches. The sweet pea-like- rose colored flowers bloom in May and June. Flowering usually begins the second year. Seed is produced in brist e = covered pods, 2 to 5 inches in l ength. = Seed is about 3/16th inch in siz , dark = 1 =% brown and very hard. - - '�` Root suckers may appear the firs year, and the thicket forming growth h bit will be started by the second ye r. . Leaf litter accumulates early, aid is held in place by the many small stems that develop from the roots. ;%, Adaptation: It will grow throughout the Northeast with the exception of - � some areas in northern Maine and New Hampshire. Bristly locust grows best .� - on silt loamy and loamy soils with good drainage; however, it will tolerate soils moderately well drained. -20- i BRISTLY LOCUST It will grow on acid soils as low as pH 3.5 but it thrives best at a pH of 6.0 and 7.0. Erosion control ; Bristly locust is perhaps the best erosion control shrub for steep sloping sites with active erosion. .In comparison with most other shrubs it will excell in seedling vigor. Rill erosion that exposes the roots stimulates root suckering thereby creating a denser growth. It has the ability to fix nitrogen in the soil ,. and with the light shade it makes the invasion of annual and perennial = herbs quite rapid. This action provides additional cover that few woody plants can perform. =: Varieties : 'Arnot" bristly locust was developed by the USDA, Soil Conervation Service at the Big Flats Plant Materials Center, Big Flats, N.Y. =: Sources : Available as seedlings from both state and private nurseries. , Seed is available from collectors in 'Test Virginia , PA and New York. Establishment: Follow standard tree planting techniques. Planting stock will be one year old seedlings . Prepare holes large enough to take care of entire root system. Fertilizer is not required. Bristly locust responds to fertilizers high in phosphorous, such as Mag-Amp, particularly on acid sites. , Planting date : Plant in early spring and before seedlings bread bud. Spacing : On steep eroded sites, plant 3 to 4 feet apart in the row, and space rows 4 to 6 apart. A 6 by 6 foot spacing is satisfactory where quick cover is not essential .

(Lonicera maack i Maxim. ) • Uses: Both Tatarian and Amur honeysuckle are ornamental shrubs introduced into the U.S, from Russia and Manchurea. They are useful as specimen plants and for borders, hedges, and screens. The fruit i utilized by at least 17 species of songbirds. It is not readily browsed by livestock, deer or rabbits. Aesthetically it is a very attractive shrub, - especially when in flower and when fruiting. Its overall form is rather graceful , and < adapts well for landscaping purposes. Description: These are hardwood, deciduous shrubs, of Plont Grow1 Form medium eight from 8 to 15 feet tall . They are erect plants, multi-stemmed,, with slightly drooping branches. Foliage and branching are dense. The growth rate is about one foot p r year, and normally they do not bear fruit until the 4th or 5th year. Leaves are simple, smooth, oval shaped with pointed . tips. Arrur Honeysuckle has distinctly longer tips. The flowers of latarian are ' - white to pink, whereas Amur has white flowers that change to yellow. The fruit of both species is a bright shiny red berry, with very short St Ems and arranged in pairs. They are about the size of a pea. 0 \ Fruit of Tatarian matures in id-summer, but f Amur honeysuckle does not mature until late fall . The red fruit of Amur ill be retained into the winter months in a raisin- like condition. ./ Adaptation: The honeysuckles prefer rich, well f drained soils, but will grow cn slightly doughty soils to somewhat poorly drained soils. : = Both will tolerate moderate s ade, and there- � fore may spread into old fi e1 s, fence rows �✓ and open woodland. See zone nap for northern limitation of Amur honeysuckl , Tatarian is adapted throughout the Northeast. Leoves, Flower, and Fruit Tatarian honcvsuc}:1, Varieties: There are many na ed varieties of Tatarian—honeysuckle providin red, white or pink flowers. There is only one named variety of Amur honeysuckle, 'Rem-red' . It is a heavy fruiting variety that retains fruit well into the winter. 'Rem- red' was developed for the Northeast by the Soil Conservation Service at the • Cape May Plant Materials Center in New Jersey. Establishment: As seedlings for borders, hedges, etc. , use 2-0 stock Mh a stem caliper of about 3J8th inch. Remove and control all plant competition from the immediate planting site. Plant in holes or a furrow deep enough not to restrict roots of seedlings. Apply fertilizer, if recommended and mix well in the soil . Firm soil well around the roots of plants set no deeper than the root collar. Apply water if rainfall is not normal , "Container" or "balled and burlaped" stock used for specimen plants, or contract jobs, should a inspected prior to delivery for an adequate root system, liveable condition of stock, age and size.* Proper planting and care applied the first year will greatly affect survival and rate of growth. S arcing_: Plant 3 to 5 feet apart in the row for screens, hedges, wi-lTi-a borders , etc. Use a double staggered row for a barrier effect rom wind, snow, and human traffic. Specimen plants should have a :,.nimum space of twenty feet in diameter for full development. Management: Cultivate and or mulch to control weeds until plants reach a height of three to four feet. Replace all dead plants. Mortality will usually occur during the first growing season Enid the following winter.

The odor of the wood repels insects which makes it ideal for cedar chest and closet lining. The tree is used as an or amental, and for hedges, screens, and windbreaks. The twigs and foliage ar sometimes eaten by hoofed browsers, but the chief attraction to wildlife is the bluish-black berry-like fruit. Although not a preferred deer food, redcedar may carry deer populations through reriods when more desirable food •f plants are in short supply. In some localities, redcedar is used as a Christmas tree. Nationally, it is among the top five species _A for this use. � Description: Eastern redcedar .�- j is a small tree, 20 to 40 feet ina, . height., -except in the southern part of- its -range where it may reach 100 feet. ghee branches are more or less ascending which gives / the tree a narrow conical appear- ance. The evergreen leaves are awl-shaped, about 1/2 inch long on juvenile foliage, and are scale- Left-Habit like on older trees. The leaves Center-Mature branch are dark green in the summer months Right-Juvenil branch becoming reddish-brown during the late winter. The fruit is a,berry-like cone, 'bluish or pu plish, about 1/4 inch in diameter and covered with a glaucous bloom. The c mmon juniper, J. communis, has no scale-like leaves which distinguishes t from redcedar. T2:e bark is thin, light reddish-brown, often somewhat groo ed, peeling off into long, narrow, fibrous strips. The tree is fairly tol rant of shade in its early years, and becomes intolerant as it grows older. A pound of freshly collected berries will yield 7 to 10 thousand seeds. Varieties: Over 30 horticultural or garden forms are rec gnized. A few of the recognized varieties are: a pendulous form, J. v. en ula; a compact globose form, J. v, loobosa; a low shrub with slender spreading branches, \ r _V- .. -2- J. v. horizontalis; a narrow-pyramidal or columnar form, J. v. oreba. ' Adaptation:. Redcedar has a wide range of adaptability. It is a pioneer species in abandoned fields and is frequently present in limestone out- croppings. The seed is spread by birds which may account for the tree being frequent along fence lines. The tree grows naturally in soils with a pH ranging from 4.7 to 7.8. It has a wide tolerance to moisture conditions, from drouthy soils to near-swamp situations. Like most trees, redcedar grows best on deep, moist, well-drained alluvial sites, where its height may reach 55 to 60 feet in 50 years of age. Establishment: Redcedar does not sucker from the roots nor sprout from the stump. It may be propagated by cuttings and by layering. Many of the orna- mental forms are propagated by-grafting. Nurseries in the Northeast sell redcedar planting stock as 2-0, 2-2, 3-0, and 4-0. Some persons dig "wildlings" for use when a small number of plants are needed. Competing plants need to be removed by plowing or scalping to insure EASTERN REDCEDAR survival of newly planted trees. Follow accepted planting procedures. The plants should be set in holes ZONE OF PRINCIPAL deep enough to take the root with- ADAPTATION IN THE out bending. Roots and tops may be pruned to about 8 inches in NORTHEAST length to facilitate planting. �--� Considerations in Use: Redcedar is an alternate host of the cedar- apple rust. The disease has minor effect on the cedar, but is very damaging to apple trees. Some states require complete eradication of all cedars and junipers within O Natural range a mile of an apple orchard. The 0 Adapted if planted International Shade Tree Conference rates redcedar as a Quality Class 2 shade tree in the northern part of the Northeast region and a Class 3 tree in Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia. Their Class 1 is the best and Class 5 is the poorest. Chemical Control: Where redcedar occurs as an unwanted species, it may be controlled by drenching the foliage with ammonium sulfamate. The species is resistant to 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T. References: Williamson, M. J. 1965. Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus vir iniana L.) USDA Forest Service. 1974. Eastern Redcedar--An American Wood.

Autumn-olive is moderately shace tolerant. - Winter injury may occur at temperatures of -300F. , but recovery usuflly occurs. Establi shment: Seedlings 1 to 2 years old usually are planted during • dormancy in spring or fall . Preparation of planting sites for borders , screens , hedges and other strips by plowing, harrowing and allow- ng soil to compact pays off in establishment. Scalping or other means of remo al of com- -2r,- -2- :.. peti ng plants is advisable for blocks and other plantings. Roots of seedlings should be kept moist until planted. Plants are set in furrows or holes deep enough to take the root to its crown without bending. Long roots and tops can be pruned to 6 inches , respectively. A scant handful of 5-10-5 or 10-10-10 fertilizer per plant, when well-mixed with the soil , helps start growth on in- fertile sites. Mulch is advisable on dry sites. Management: For maximum fruit production, plants should be spaced at least 8 feet apart. Closer spacing to 4 feet may be used for screening and similar strips. When multiple rows are used, 15 to 20 feet between rows usually is == advisable. When plantations are slow in establishment, weeding, fertilizing, and mulching are recommended remedies. New plantings may need protection from deer and rabbits. Autumn-olive may be pruned to satisfactory form.

NO. 1996 _27_ About the Team t The Eastern Connecticut Environmental Review Team (ERT) is a group of profes- sionals in environmental fields drawn together from a variety of feder 1 , state, and regional agencies. Specialists on the Team include geologists, bi logists, foresters, climatologists, soil scientists, landscape architects, arch ologists, recreation specialists, engineers and planners. The ERT operates with state fund- ing under the supervision of the Eastern Connecticut Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Area. The Team is available as a public service at no cost to Connecticut towns. PURPOSE OF THE TEAM The Environmental Review Team is available to help towns and developers in , the review of sites proposed for major land use activitis. To date, the ERT has been involved in reviewing a wide range of projects including subdivis ons, sani- tary landfills, commercial and industrial developments, sand and grave operations, elderly housing, recreation/open space projects, watershed studies and resource inventories. Reviews are conducted in the interest of providing information and analysis that will assist towns and developers in environmentally sound decisio -making. This is done through identifying the natural resource base of the prof ct site and highlighting opportunities and limitations for the proposed land use. REQUESTING A REVIEW Environmental reviews may be requested by the chief elected officials of a municipality or the chairman of town commissions such as planning and zoning, con- servation, inland wetlands, parks and recreation or economic development. Requests should be directed to the Chairman of your local Soil and Water Conservation Dis- trict. This request letter should include a summary of the proposed pr ject, a location map of the project site, written permission from the landowner allowing the Team to enter the property for purposes of review, and a statement identifying the specific areas of concern the Team should address. When this request is ap- proved by the local Soil and Water Conservation District and the Easterl Connecti- cut RC&D Executive Council , the Team will undertake the review on a pri rity basis.
