RE: Coven Mountain Application #380 - Plans of 2/11/86
An initial review of the plans as submitted is as follows .
As indicated in the narrative , the proposed 41 lot subdivision is
on a 35 . 8 acre parcel with a roadway length of 3277 linear feet
with an elevation change of 128 feet from Abbe Road to the high point .
The possible erosion problems are fairly well stated ; steep slopes ,
substantial roadway excavation , gravelly soil which is easily erodable
together with the normal ground cover removal which exposes more surface
to the weather . Some of the erosion control measures indicates that the
roadway "cut" sections will be used to collect and concentrate the eroded
soils . The 20th item in the sequence is to construct the detention
basin and that it is to be utilized as a sedimentation basin and it is
their intent to build the roads in one continous effort . It appears
that not much real thought was given to the proposal . By whatever
standards used , IWA , the state guide lines , or subdivision regulations ,
there is insufficient information to suggest that the plans are ready
for approval or discussion . Without going into an item by item need ,
primarily , the plans need the proposed contours to show the limits of
excavation or where the E&S measures would be the most effective.
There are portions of the roadway that will be 10 feet below the present
ground level . With a proposed front y and slope of 1 : 5 or a 20% grade
(our maximum highway grade is 8� the total roadway excavation width
g Y g ) 9 y
could be 150 ' wide , with the nature of the material , something over and
above some hay bales 500 ' apart will be required to preserve the char '
acter of the site .
There is no indication of stump disposal or the amount of material to be
moved or stored . I expect that this site will be developed at some
time soon. I also expect that it could be a quality development .
It would be a shame to screw it up with a poorly developed plan. Again,
I do not feel the plans are ready yet for review at this time. Staff
can not recommend the plans are ready for approval .

RE: Coven Mountain - Review #2 5/19/86 "/
A meeting was held 5/16/86 with the developer and staff concerning the above
proposed subdivision revised to 5/8/86 . I was asked to review the plans as
submitted in anticipation of a possible June IWA/CC hearing. It appears
that the plans will have to be revised at least a couple of more times before
they could possibly reach consideration for approval. Staff is not going to
design the subdivision for them and we do have more concerns that have not
been addressed yet, but with the potential of a prestigious subdivision as
opposed to a standard bulldozer type, it is approaching time that the com-
mission have some input into the E&S concerns. This is not to imply to the
developer an approval if they do items 1 through 10 , just for guidance only.
Staff still can not recommend the plans are ready for approval.
The February plan review is still valid. In that review, specific items
that I asked for:
1 . Proposed contours - shown - indicated 1 : 4 slope.
2 . Additional haybales - shown but contrary to their own recommendations
3 . Stump dump - shown
4 . Amount of material to be moved or stored - shown -60 , 000 CU. YDS
to be removed from site; also stockpile in CL&P row.
Again, the narrative correctly depicts the site features and the possible
erosion problems . From that point on, I still have a problem with the method
of siltation control. The roadway area being used as a conveyor of eroded
soils . The engineer still does not address E&S control .
In essence, based on their narrative and plans , there will be about 10 . 8
of the 35 . 8 acre site under the disturbed category prior to sequence items
#25 'paving' or #27 ' seeding' . One third of the site could become alive
under a severe condition. Just turn the bulldozer loose, we will clean up
our mess later. The ' Connecticut Guidelines Handbook ' primary outlook is to
stop the erosion before it can start and that for an erosion and sediment
control program to be effective , provisions must be made in the planning
stage.
I am surprised that even after their last venture , more thought still hasn' t
been given to developing a good workable plan for both them and us . Actually
it isn' t us , a good E&S plan and implementation enhances their project.
Cleaning up a grubby messy site costs time and money and never looks good.

E: Coven Mountain
When the applicant becomes serious with appropriate plans for a final sub-
mission, they are aware that the town will submit them to SCS for their
review & comments. It is too premature at this time.
In summary, I expect that this site probably will be developed next year.
I do feel that some input from the commission might be beneficial in this
planning stage. The plans, revised 5/8/86 are still incomplete with respect
to E&S and are not ready for approval.

REi Application # 380 Coven Mountain (Vito Covensky)
Development ots into single family residential subdivisions
Dear Attorney Gerlt:
We are returning the application and check for $100.00 from
Mr. Covensky for the Coven Mountain application..
Upon review by the Town Engineering Department, they have found
this application to be incomplete and not ready to be presented Y
to the Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission.
We suggest that you make an appointment to meet with the Engineering
Department to see what modifications need to be made to comply with
regulations.
Very truly yours,

RE: PROPOSED COVEN MOUNTAIN SUBDIVISION
ABBE ROAD, SOUTH WINDSOR
Dear Ms. Parker:
As indicated at our recent meeting, I fully expect that this
site will be developed somewhat as indicated. I am concerned
about the erosion control both during construction of the roads
and utilities, and also during the development of the house sites .
usual control
s just
o need more than the us 7
This site would appear t _
because of the excavation required and protection of the downstream.
The developer indicated there would be no winter construction - you
probably should cover this possibility. Any guidance you can give
the developer along these lines to incorporate in the drawings
would be appreciated.
You should also be aware that somewhere in the approval process,
you will see the modified plans with all of the E & S proposals
indicated.
The Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission denied the plans
as submitted and the application was withdrawn from Planning & Zoning.
Although an application isn't working on this site, I would expect
as soon as your recommendations are included in the drawings that
they will be resubmitted and run through the full review routine.
If you have any questions, I can be contacted at 644-2511, Ext. 244 .

RE: Coven Mountain Subdivision Review #4
Dear Jack:
Enclosed is a copy of the SCS review report of August 7, 1986
of the Coven Mountain site. The plans have been revised to
incorporate most of their comments.
In the general notes ; there seems to be a difficulty in imple-
menting the road being depressed 1.0 ' below Abbe Road and having
the area depressed around the catch basins to act as the sediment
trap.
The other item - "Because of the high erosive nature of these
soils and the steep slopes, winter construction is not recom-
mended and that all exposed areas be seeded by September 15 ---
etc. " It has been indicated to us to expect wintertime construc-
tion. I still have a problem with the potential of so much area
exposed to the elements over the winter months without appropriate
phasing. There should be sufficient completion of the first 5 or
6 hundred feet of roadway before even stumping proceeds in the
next phase.
The plans do make reference to different slope protection features
at slopes above 3 to 1. These spots should be flagged on the plans.
I would also like to see the straw mulch with the jute netting in
the critical areas.
This proposed subdivision, I expect, will happen.
There is only one outlet and the concern about the runoff expressed
by the residents during construction is still a problem.
Mr. John M. Moran. , Jr. September 3, 1986

With extra T.L.C. , limiting the exposure perhaps is a way to
go
I can comment further on this matter, at the meeting, if so
desired.
