MEMORANDUM
To: South Windsor Inland Wetland/Conservation Commission.
From: Jeffrey H. Folger-Zoning/Wetland Enforcement Officer
Date: September 28, 2001
Re: Review of the proposed Holcombe subdivision. Plans dated 8/21/01.
The project is to subdivide a 2.7-acre parcel into two lots for the purpose of construction
of two residential dwellings. Regulated activities include clearing, grading, and the
location of a portion of the houses within the upland review area(URA). The proposed
disturbance within the URA is estimated at 13,000 3300 sgft or 0.30 acre.
Site: The site is located in the Hockanum River watershed(Avery Brook sub-watershed).
Currently the site consists of early to mid successional sapling and pole stage trees.
Wetlands on the site are closely associated with the watercourse that borders the site on
the western side. The watercourse immediately west of the proposed house sites is a part
of Dart Brook. This watercourse flows south from the area north of Phillip R. Smith
School and flows to the flood control dam north of Beelzebub Road. During periods of
little rain this watercourse is dry. Avery Brook enters the site south of the proposed
house locations from two culverts underneath Avery Street. This brook has constant
flow, and has a 100-year floodplain associated with it. The sides of the watercourses
show evidence of repeated channelization by human activities. The east side of the
streambank is bermed from side casted dredged material. This serves to isolate the
watercourse from the adjacent riparian area hydraulically. The result is that the wetlands
are limited to the immediate vacinity of the stream channel.
Major functions of this wetland area would be limited, to stormwater conveyance,
sediment trapping,wildlife habitat, and some groundwater recharge. Ecological integrity
would be low with the proximity of urbanization surrounding the wetland. Avery Brook
has finfish present in shallow pools in the channel.
The riparian forest to the east of the watercourse is a dense combination of sapling (under
4"dia.) and pole (4"— 10"dia.)trees, and woody shrubs (silky dogwood,multiflora rose)
common to floodplains. Wildlife values would be low to moderate due to the isolated
nature of the parcel. There is much evidence of yard waste dumping by neighbors on the
site.
The presence of partially buried debris and the general shape of the site east of the
channel lead me to believe that this portion of the site may have been filled historically.
Impacts: The proposed driveway will be constructed along the eastern property
boundary,maximizing the distance from regulated areas. The flat topography of the site
will minimize concerns of sedimentation to the watercourses from construction activities.
The perimeter erosion controls shown should be adequate. Substantial clearing of the site
to accommodate the houses and yards is proposed. Clearing is proposed up to 15 feet
from the stream channel. This will signiflcantly reduce the riparian vegetation and
wildlife habitat in this area. Maximizing the width of the forested riparian area should be
a consideration.

I have reviewed the proposed plan with the following additional comments:
The plans show the proposed clearing for the northern most house to come within 15 feet of the
watercourse. Consideration should be given to maximize the amount of riparian vegetation
remaining adjacent to the watercourse.

FROM: MELVIN C.STEAD,JR. YOA-
SUBJECT: HOLCOMBE 2-LOT RESUBDIVISION
• This area has had proposals before with driveways coming off Avery
Street.
• A branch of Avery Brook(Dart Brook)runs through the site along Avery
Street in the proposed conservation easement area.
• The channel has severe erosion and gets closer to Avery Street each year.
• The water comes from the Woodland Drive area and from Avery Dam
Number 2.
• New homeowners will be looking to the Town to improve the situation.
• Plan does not show clearly the street line of Avery Street. I think there
should be a quit claim along Avery Street.
• There should be little impact to the Town having the driveway where
proposed but we must be conscious of double trash containers,etc. at this
location.
• Widening of street line on Kelly will improve access to the upstream side
of the culvert for cleaning purposes.
We need to define what our long-range goal is for the channel along Avery Street
and work toward it during the review and approval process. If this becomes a
conservation easement I see restrictions on how to stabilize this area.

Town of South Windsor
Inland Wetland Agency/Conservation Commission

S. Windsor, CT 06074
Subject: Proposed resubdivision of Mr. Kirby Holcombe's Kelly
Rd. property
Dear Commission:
We are the owners of 11 Kelly Rd., which is located south of and
downstream of Mr. Holcombe's proposed resubdivision. After
attending the Zoning meeting, studying the topographic plan
prepared for Mr. Holcombe by Design Professionals, Inc. and
extensive exploration of the property, we have several concerns we
would like your commission to address while considering the
proposal.
1. Excessive silt build-up already exists in the three tunnels that
channel Avery Brook under Kelly Rd. Most of this silt is probably
a result of the building of the dams upstream. Two of the tunnels
are currently unable to drain any water. These tunnels are filled
with soil and rocks and the south exit is blocked by a heavier
concentration of vegetation, stones and sand. Since water only
flows through one tunnel, this is causing an erosion problem on our
property and on the east side of Avery Brook on Mr. Holcombe's
property. Recently it appears that someone cleared some dirt on
the north side, but since two tunnels are still full of silt, water does
not flow and a large pool of standing water was created. We are
worried that this pool will become a prime breeding ground for
mosquitos, etc. and that any construction may make this situation
worse i.e. algea, dead wildlife. We ask the commission to require
either Mr. Holcombe and/or the Town to completely remove the
buildup both in and around the tunnels and to expand the north
entrance BEFORE any construction is allowed and that the proper
safeguards are in place to ensure that new buildup doesn't come
from the proposed site.
2. The proposed 500 ft. gravel driveway has several possible
problems. The entrance on Kelly Rd. is next to and upstream of a
storm drain that is often clogged with debris. We are concerned
that stones and dirt from a gravel driveway might plug the drain,
causing a major flooding problem on Kelly Rd. If the driveway is
paved, too much water may flow off onto the road. The location of
the driveway as proposed would require the removal of several
large trees on the property with possible soil erosion resulting. A
final problem is that there is an SNET telephone pole right next to
the entrance (SNET pole #2829). The guy wires that support the
pole would have to be removed. Since the pole leans already, this
would require the pole to be moved. Where would it go? After
studying the topographic plan, we feel the driveway entrance
should be moved to Avery St. The house plans could be flipped
and a wishbone-shaped driveway created to create one exit slightly
north of the SNET pole # 507 on Avery St. (thereby eliminating the
need for an "emergency vehicle circle" between the houses). Or,
obviously, two driveways exiting onto Avery St. This plan would
require crossing Dart Brook. During the Zoning Meeting, Dart
Brook was classified as "intermittent". We urge the commission to
explore these options.
3. At the Planning and Zoning meeting it was stated that the two
houses Mr. Holcombe proposes would be larger than houses in the
area, with large roof"footprints". How is rain runoff going to be
handled? Since the property is heavily wooded, gutters and
drainpipes could easily be plugged; and given the houses close
proximity to Avery Brook, soil erosion and/or flooding could
result. What safeguards will be implemented to prevent this from
happening?
4. The topographic plan shows a proposed tree line surrounding
the two houses. Please clarify, in detail, what this means.
In conclusion, let us state that we oppose Mr. Holcombe's current
proposal of two houses with a Kelly Rd driveway entrance. We
ask the commission to reject this proposal, but we would like to see
an alternative plan done with more attention given to what the
Town of South Windsor would do with the property Mr.
Holcombe would be donating to the South Windsor Conservation
Land Trust. Mr. Holcombe has neglected this property for years
with no maintenance at all. The result is that the entire property is
overgrown with weeds and trash. If the commission does reject his
proposal completely, we ask that he is required to remedy this
neglect. We would be more than willing to assist the commission
or Town in any plans to improve this area.
Photographs are available and can be presented at your hearing.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Gregory & Elaine Lentz
