Signature of Owner of Property Date Signature of Applicant Date 9 The Village at Berry Patch—Project Narrative 175 Oakland Road,South Windsor, Connecticut SMART GROWTH/WALKABLE The applicant,The Metro Realty Group("Metro'),is proposing The Village at Berry Patch("the Village"), a 78-unit smart growth/walkable residential rental community on 9.8 acres. Situated on the southerly side of Oakland Road(State Route 30), the Village is adjacent to Berry Patch I&II; two successful affordable senior housing communities completed by Metro in 2004 and 2006. The Village offers pedestrian access to Buckland Road via an existing internal sidewalk system at Berry Patch I & 11. The Village will complement the enhanced pedestrian circulation system to be constructed along the west side of Buckland Road in 2017.Residents will be able to walk north on Buckland to Town Center or south to medical offices, L.A. Fitness and Evergreen Walk. Town H■IS a Ubnry ENIN16 Pawed wet . New Connection THE VILLAGE AT BERRY PATCEdwft SWwralk to SipmIked XkW CT Transit Bus Stop The Village at Berry Patch—Walkability diagram AFFORDABLE The Village will consist of 42 one-bedroom and 36 two-bedroom units in ten(10),two(2)story buildings, with 136 parking spaces. 80% of the units will be available at market rates and 20% will be affordable for a term of 40 years. The community will be financed through the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority. Rental priority will be given to persons on the South Windsor Housing Authority waiting list. The one- bedroom units are flats and will be sized at approximately 991 square feet. The two-bedroom apartments are townhouse style and sized at approximately 1,377 square feet. r TRADITIONAL The elevations of the Village at Berry Patch create the impression of condominium living but will fill the void of"home-like"rental housing with pedestrian access to South Windsor town center's essential services and amenities. The proposed community will have a colonial style of architecture at a scale that will be consistent with the surrounding developments and neighborhood. Photographs have been included for your reference of a very similar community constructed in Farmington. Both one and two bedroom homes feature "condominium style"private entries, no common hallways and private outdoor living space in the form of private decks or walk-out patios.The developer is proposing to utilize the same New England styled architecture it has enjoyed success with in the past,including,pitched roofs,fypon peaks over the windows, headers over windows and doors,maintenance free vinyl siding,architectural roof shingles,large windows, wide corner boards and shutters. The exterior colors of the buildings, shutters and doors will be "Farmington green" or black to create the "Village" concept. Unit features include 9 foot ceilings, individual GE washer/dryer, disposal, gas heat, central a/c, pre-wired cable TV, broadband internet and telephones, and individual patios with sliders. The overall site is large and attractively landscaped. The private entries and traditional townhouse style scale and design are intended to attract members of South Windsor's Baby Boomer demographic seeking to downsize and remain in Town. Nationally, Baby Boomers have produced more new renters over the last decade than any other age cohort, and this demographic will help support the various businesses and institutions within the town center. ' I I i i Heritage Glen—Farmington, CT DESIGN TEAM Metro has assembled a design team consisting of Associated Architects, P.C. for building architecture; Design Professionals, Inc. for civil engineering and land surveying; CR3 LLP for landscape architecture; Fuss &O'Neill for traffic engineering; and Shipman&Goodwin as legal counsel. SITE DESIGN/TRAFFIC The subject property, now known as 151 and 195 Oakland Road, will have a boulevard entrance from Oakland Road and private streets.Fuss&O'Neill has analyzed the surrounding street network,background traffic conditions,proposed conditions,traffic accident histories,intersection sight distances and capacities, as well as traffic queues,and has concluded that The Village development will not have a significant impact to traffic operations within the study area, and that the proposed driveway will provide safe and efficient site access and egress. LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT The Village has been designed with Low Impact Development(LID)technologies. These include dark sky compliant full cut-off exterior lighting systems, and energy efficient building systems. The storm water drainage system employs landscape collection areas,infiltration trenches,a water quality basin,and a water quality hydrodynamic separator unit. The overall storm water system will achieve better than 80% Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal, and will further achieve a zero-runoff increase (post-development vs. pre-development) condition for all storm events (2, 10, 25 & 100 year storms). Farm Brook is adjacent to the site, and will receive storm water discharges below the subject development in a natural area. GREEN AND ENERGY EFFICIENT All homes will be Energy Star qualified homes. The development also utilizes a broad array of "green" strategies and technologies from the building envelope and HVAC to aquifer re-charging strategies. The first apartments are anticipated to be delivered for occupancy in 2018. UTILITIES All units will be served by public sewer available in Oakland Road, some via gravity flow, and some via a small force main. Public water is nearby at the Berry Patch I& II entrance, and will be extended into the site to serve all ten buildings.Of necessity,all existing buildings on the property will be removed,including two homes built in the 20' century and associated agricultural buildings. Landscape elements have been designed to screen areas as appropriate, and to enhance the aesthetics and function of this residential community. CONSERVATION EASEMENT Approximately 5.8 acres of the land will be disturbed during construction, however, several undeveloped acres along Oakland Road will be preserved by means of a conservation easement. This natural and undisturbed area contains Farm Brook, and is contiguous to a larger conservation area extending down to Buckland Road, which was preserved as part of the applicant's Berry Patch I & II development. No wetlands disturbance is contemplated with The Village development. SOUTH WINDSOR POCD The proposed development is consistent with the South Windsor Plan of Conservation & Development (POCD), including the goals of providing a variety of housing to meet the community's needs, and development to reinforce the center of the community,historically known as Wapping Village. f TEXT AMENDMENT One component of this submission is a zoning text amendment,establishing a new special zoning regulation for Multi-Family Assisted Housing("MAHZ')in the AA-30 zoning district,thereby enabling The Village development.Eighty percent of the dwelling units will be available at market rate rents,while 20%will be "assisted housing"in compliance with the Connecticut General Statutes Section 8-30g.The Village MAHZ community has been designed to conform to the zoning regulations, consistent with this text amendment. FINAL NOTES Prior to preparation of the engineered site plans and text amendment, Metro, accompanied by its design team and legal counsel,informally met with Town staff,and then with the Planning&Zoning Commission on two occasions.After those meetings,the applicant authorized preparation of a special exception/site plan application, along with the text amendment. Town staff were consulted during the design phase. Local approvals will be requested from the Planning&Zoning Commission,Inland Wetlands Agency,and Water Pollution Control Authority. It is the opinion of the applicant and its design team that the subject tract is physically suited for the proposed residential community,its development will present minimal impacts on the community's utilities' systems or to the environment or to the infrastructure, it should have no adverse effects on existing uses, it should conserve property values,the character of the neighborhood will be reinforced and maintained with minimal disruption, the general welfare of South Windsor will be served, that the overall appearance of the development is compatible with surrounding development and the Commission's goals for the area, the Village's architectural design is aesthetically pleasing and blends in well, and that due consideration has been given to preservation of historic elements, as appropriate.

Project Location Map). The 8.7+/-acre property at 151 Oakland Road is developed with a single family residence plus several other buildings along with paved driveways and parking areas. The southeastern portion of this property consists of an agricultural, grassed field. Woodlands are present in the western and northwestern portions of the property at 151 Oakland Road. Farm Brook flows in a northerly direction through the woodlands. The 1.5+/- acre property at 195 Oakland Road contains a single family residence. Petersen Pond is located off-site to the south and west of the property at 195 Oakland Road. An earth dam with a concrete spillway are present at the northwestern end of the pond. Farm Brook flows into and out of the pond. Thomas W. Pietras, Professional Wetland and Soil Scientist, conducted site inspections to the project area on July 27 and September 13, 2016 for purposes of wetland identification and to provide a wetlands functions and values report. A Wetlands&Watercourses Investigation Report,dated July 29, 2016, documents the delineation of wetlands and watercourses that are present in the project area along with the mapping of soil types. Description of Wetlands in the Project Area The wetlands were identified as poorly drained Raypol silt loam (12), very poorly drained Scarboro muck(15), poorly drained Limerick and Lim Soils (107) and very poorly drained Saco muck(108). Raypol and Scarboro soils developed over sandy and gravelly-sandy, glacial outwash. Limerick, Lim and Saco soils developed in floodplain alluvium. Approximate sketch maps of the wetland boundaries and soil types are shown in Figures 2 and 3. Within the project area Farm Brook is a moderately-sized, perennial watercourse. There was moderate flow in the brook during both the 7/27/16 and 9/13/16 inspections. The brook discharges from a culvert located below the Berry Patch access road into a small marsh on the property at 195 Oakland Road. Within a very short distance from the culvert outlet the brook turns to the southwest and flows into Petersen Pond. The 2+/-acre pond was created through the construction of an earthen dam which is located at the northwestern end of the pond. The pond and dam are located off-site on the Berry Patch apartment complex property. An abandoned bridge spans across the concrete pond spillway located on the eastern side of the dam. It is likely that this bridge was previously utilized by vehicles associated with historic agricultural operations which took place within the project area. The entire pond is generally confined by steep embankments and only a very narrow fringe of wetland surrounds the pond. Drainage from the pond normally passes through a culvert which extends below the western side of dam. During times of high water outflow from the pond also flows over the spillway. There was no flow over the spillway on either of the site inspections. Downstream of the dam the brook flows in a northwesterly direction through a forested ravine for approximately 400 feet and then enters in a moderately- sized forested swamp. Portions of the forested ravine and forested swamp are located on the property at 151 15 Briarwood Lane EMAILTom@pietrasenvironmentalgroup.com Wallingford,Cr 06492 WEB SrrE pietrasenvironmetalgroup.com 203-314-6636 1 Oakland Road. The forested swamp on 151 Oakland Road is approximately 2 acres in size. The swamp continues off-site to the west and southwest, extending to Buckland Road. The entire size of the forested swamp may be approximately 15 acres. Active ground water seepage within the forested swamp has resulted in the development of poorly drained mucky soils which remain saturated for much of the year. An intermittent watercourse forms in the eastern side of the swamp and passes in a westerly direction into Farm Brook(refer to Figure 2). A review of 1934 and 1965 State of CT historic photos for the project area reveals that most of the lands in project area, both on-and off-site,were utilized for agriculture(refer to Figures 4 &5). The 1934 aerial photo shows a large field present on the southern side of Oakland Road. Larger agricultural fields were located off-site in the vicinity of the project area. There was no house at the 195 Oakland Road property. To the south of Oakland Road in 1934 Farm Brook passed to the east and south of these fields within woodlands. Petersen Pond had not been created. The forested swamp located in the western portion of the property at 151 Oakland Road was densely wooded. In the 1965 photo both the house at 195 Oakland Road and Petersen Pond are present. The lands to the north and south of Petersen Pond had been cleared. The forested swamp located in the western portion of 151 Oakland Road remained in dense woods. Functional Values of Wetlands and Watercourses The assessment of the wetland functions was conducted based on a utilization of the concepts provided by current literature available, including Method for the Evaluation of Inland Wetlands in Connecticut: A Watershed Approach. CT DEP Bulletin N. 9 and USACOE, 1995, Highway Methodology Workbook,Wetland Functions and Values: A Descriptive Approach, New England Division. Best professional judgment was also utilized in the assessment. Each of the three distinct wetland classes identified on or immediately adjacent to the subject property were assessed for 13 functional values. Pertinent comments for each wetland function are listed in the report. Table One presents of a summary of the 13 functional values for(1) Petersen Pond and marsh located at the eastern edge of the pond (2)the forested ravine (located downstream of Petersen Pond) and (3)the forested swamp in the western portion of 151 Oakland Road. I. Petersen Pond&marsh located at eastern edge of pond 1-Groundwater recharge/discharge: The ability of the wetland to provide groundwater recharge or groundwater discharge especially in association with an aquifer. >The 2+/-acre pond is fed by Farm Brook, a moderately-sized perennial watercourse. The pond overlies a sandy glacial outwash aquifer. A certain portion of the waters from the pond do likely pass down into the sandy aquifer. 2-Floodflow alteration: This function concerns the ability of the wetland to reduce flood damage by retaining storm water following significant precipitation and then slowly releasing the stormwaters. >The pond is small in size but does serve to provide for storage of floodwaters within the Farm Brook watershed. During both site inspections made in July and September there was no flow through the concrete spillway. The pond elevation was approximately a foot below that level which would allow for flow to pass across the spillway. It is likely that for considerable portions of the year the pond is functional in providing a significant volume for storage of storm waters. 3-Fish and shellfish habitat: This function is associated with fish and shellfish habitat within watercourses that are contained within certain wetlands. >The pond supports fish and some shellfish. It is likely that the fish are limited to warm water species. 4-Sediment/toxicant retention: This function is associated with the ability of the wetland to reduce or prevent degradation of water quality through the entrapment of sediments,toxicants or pathogens in stormwater runoff or other waters draining through the wetland. 2 > Upstream from Petersen Pond, Farm Brook receives drainage from a mix of forest lands, agricultural lands and single family residential developments. Gradients in the brook above the pond range from gently sloping to moderately sloping. The pond serves as a trap for sediments and toxicants carried by the brook. 5-Nutrient removal/retention/transformation: This function qualifies the ability of the wetland to filter out nutrients that may be contained in storm water runoff. >Dissolved nutrients carried in the waters of Farm Brook get washed into Petersen Pond and the marsh located at the eastern edge of the pond. The marsh and pond vegetation and the soils underlying the marsh and pond are functional in nutrient removal/retention/transformation. 6-Production export: This function concerns the ability of the wetland to produce food for humans or other living organisms. >The marsh supports a dense growth of herbaceous plants,while the pond contains some emergent vegetation and algae which provides a food source for fish, shell fish, amphibians, reptiles and mammals. Water fowl also utilize the pond. 7-Sediment/shoreline stabilization: This function is associated with the ability of the wetland to provide stabilization to streambanks and shorelines against erosion. >The shorelines of the marsh and pond are steeply sloping and well vegetated with a mix of herbaceous and woody plants. These plants are effective in stabilizing the shore line. 8-Wildlife habitat: The ability of the wetland to provide habitat for various types and populations of animals typically associated with wetlands and wetland buffers. >The pond supports warm water fish and shellfish and provides habitat for amphibians, reptiles and waterfowl. Frogs,turtles and mallard ducks were observed in the pond. In addition, small to large mammals utilize the pond and shoreline for drinking water and food source. 9-Recreation: This function is associated with the ability of the wetland to provide recreational uses, including hiking, boating,fishing and hunting. >The pond has potential to offer recreational uses, including hiking, fishing and boating. A trail could be developed around portions of the pond including across the dam. The small size of the pond limits fishing and boating opportunities. 10-Educational/scientific value: This value measures the ability of the wetland to serve as an outdoor classroom or as a site for scientific study. >The pond provides some potential for education and scientific study. However,the pond is located on private property. 11-Uniqueness/Heritage: These functions are related to the ability of the wetland to serve as an important archeological site, provide habitat for endangered species, or contain either unique vegetative communities or landforms. >The pond is a man-made water body within historic agricultural lands. The soils in surrounding lands have been historically disturbed. 12-Visual quality aesthetics: This value considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the wetland. >The pond is partially open and can be seen from the Berry Patch property to the south and from a portion of the open field at 151 Oakland Road. Potentially,views of the pond could become more accessible if walking trails were constructed across the dam or along sections of the banks surrounding the pond. 13-Endangered species habitat: This value considers the ability of the wetland to provide habitat for threatened or endangered species. 3 >The CT DEEP Natural Diversity Data Base Map for Darien was reviewed online(Map dated June 2016). According to the DEEP map there are no records of State or Federal Listed Species &Significant Natural Communities identified in the project area. H. Forested ravine(located downstream of Petersen Pond) 1-Groundwater recharge/discharge: The ability of the wetland to provide groundwater recharge or groundwater discharge especially in association with an aquifer. >Downstream of the pond the wetlands are confined in a narrow stream valley confined by steep slopes on both sides. The wetland corridor within the ravine is narrow and primarily consists of Farm Brook and its floodway. The alluvial soils in the floodway are underlain by sandy-gravelly, glacial outwash. The narrow width of the wetlands in the ravine limits the function for groundwater recharge. 2-Floodflow alteration: This function concerns the ability of the wetland to reduce flood damage by retaining storm water following significant precipitation and then slowly releasing the stormwaters. >The ravine wetlands are narrow in width and this limits the function for floodflow alteration. 3-Fish and shellfish habitat: This function is associated with fish and shellfish habitat within watercourses that are contained within certain wetlands. >The brook flowing through the ravine wetlands may support minnows, but not large fish. 4-Sediment/toxicant retention: This function is associated with the ability of the wetland to reduce or prevent degradation of water quality through the entrapment of sediments, toxicants or pathogens in stormwater runoff or other waters draining through the wetland. >The brook has moderate to moderately rapid flow over a sandy and stony-sandy streambed passing through the ravine wetlands. There is limited treatment in the wetlands for sediment/toxicant retention. 5-Nutrient removal/retention/transformation: This function qualifies the ability of the wetland to filter out nutrients that may be contained in storm water runoff. >The brook has moderate to moderately rapid flow over a sandy and stony-sandy streambed passing through the ravine wetlands. There is limited treatment in these wetlands for nutrient removal/retention/transformation. 6-Production export: This function concerns the ability of the wetland to produce food for humans or other living organisms. >The narrow band of wetlands in the ravine supports a mix of herbaceous and woody vegetation. This vegetation does provide for some food source for wildlife. 7-Sediment/shoreline stabilization: This function is associated with the ability of the wetland to provide stabilization to streambanks and shorelines against erosion. >The wetlands within the ravine are important for providing vegetative growth alongside the moderately to moderately rapid flowing brook. The vegetation stabilizes the soils along the stream banks. 8-Wildlife habitat: The ability of the wetland to provide habitat for various types and populations of animals typically associated with wetlands and wetland buffers. >The ravine wetlands are part of a wildlife corridor which allow a connection between the pond and forested swamp. The very steep slopes in the ravine down to the brook impedes the movement of some wildlife species. The ravine wetlands primarily support woody vegetation which provides for some wildlife habitat. Frogs were observed within Farm Brook in the ravine. A green heron was also observed near the culvert outlet of the dam. 9-Recreation: This function is associated with the ability of the wetland to provide recreational uses, including hiking, boating,fishing and hunting. >The ravine wetlands are difficult to access due to the very steep slopes. Portions of the floodway within the ravine are densely vegetated with shrub and briar. 4 10-Educational/scientific value: This value measures the ability of the wetland to serve as an outdoor classroom or as a site for scientific study. >The ravine wetlands are located on private property and provide for limited value for education or scientific study. 11-Uniqueness/Heritage: These functions are related to the ability of the wetland to serve as an important archeological site, provide habitat for endangered species, or contain either unique vegetative communities or landforms. >The ravine wetlands are very narrow in size and primarily contain the floodway for Farm Brook. These wetlands provide limited unique or special heritage purposes 12-Visual quality aesthetics: This value considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the wetland. >The wetlands in the ravine are narrow in width, wooded and low-lying. This makes them difficult to observe from any distance. These wetlands only provide minimal aesthetic value. 13-Endangered species habitat: This value considers the ability of the wetland to provide habitat for threatened or endangered species. > The CT DEEP Natural Diversity Data Base Map for Darien was reviewed online (Map dated June 2016). According to the DEEP map there are no records of State or Federal Listed Species &Significant Natural Communities identified in the project area. III. Forested swamp in the western portion of 151 Oakland Road 1-Groundwater recharge/discharge: The ability of the wetland to provide groundwater recharge or groundwater discharge especially in association with an aquifer. >Active ground water seepage was observed at the base of the slopes surrounding the wetlands, as well as within portions of the swamp. These seeps provide base flow for Farm Brook which passes through the western portion of the wetlands and an intermittent watercourse which develops in the swamp. The soils underlying the swamp consist of sandy and gravelly-sandy outwash. The swamp provides for some recharge of the aquifer. 2-Floodflow alteration: This function concerns the ability of the wetland to reduce flood damage by retaining storm water following significant precipitation and then slowly releasing the stormwaters. >Within the forested swamp located at 151 Oakland Road the channel of Farm Brook is cut two feet or more into the wetland landscape. The majority of the flows are confined within this defined channel. During very large storms the brook likely overflows its banks and some flows pass into the broad forested swamp which lies on nearly level terrain. 3-Fish and shellfish habitat: This function is associated with fish and shellfish habitat within watercourses that are contained within certain wetlands. >Within the forested swamp Farm Brook is a moderately-sized, perennial watercourse which may support small finfish. 4-Sediment/toxicant retention: This function is associated with the ability of the wetland to reduce or prevent degradation of water quality through the entrapment of sediments, toxicants or pathogens in stormwater runoff or other waters draining through the wetland. >The primary hydrologic input of surface water into the forested swamp wetland is via Farm Brook. However, the majority of the brook flows are contained within its channel. Only during very large storm events would it be expected that the brook flows into the broad forested swamp. 5-Nutrient removal/retention/transformation: This function qualifies the ability of the wetland to filter out nutrients that may be contained in storm water runoff. 5 >The primary hydrologic input of surface water into the forested swamp wetland is via Farm Brook. However, the majority of the brook flow are containing within its channel. Only during very large storm events would it be expected that the brook flows into the broad forested swamp. The swamp is densely vegetated with herbaceous and woody plants. Very poorly drained mucky soils are preset in wetlands which are very efficient for the function of nutrient removal/retention/transformation. 6-Production export: This function concerns the ability of the wetland to produce food for humans or other living organisms. >The wetland supports a maturing forested swamp containing moderate to large trees with moderate dense woody understory and dense herbaceous layer. The wetland provides a good food source for wildlife. 7-Sediment/shoreline stabilization: This function is associated with the ability of the wetland to provide stabilization to streambanks and shorelines against erosion. >Farm Brook has moderate flow through the swamp. During large storm events the brook carries large flows. The swamp vegetation growing along the sides of the brook are important in soil stabilization and keeping eroded sediments out of the watercourse. 8-Wildlife habitat: The ability of the wetland to provide habitat for various types and populations of animals typically associated with wetlands and wetland buffers. >The forested swamp along with Farm Brook provide good wildlife habitat. The swamp is bordered by upland forest which complements the swamp habitat. The wetland is relatively large in size extending off-site to the east. 9-Recreation: This function is associated with the ability of the wetland to provide recreational uses, including hiking, boating, fishing and hunting. >Although the forested swamp provides good wildlife habitat it is located close to developed properties which limits the use for hunting. Soils in the swamp are very soft and mucky which makes traversing for any hiking very difficult. 10-Educational/scientific value: This value measures the ability of the wetland to serve as an outdoor classroom or as a site for scientific study. > Based on review of the aerial photos along with the visual observations of the wetlands, it appears that the forested swamp is over 100 years old. The swamp provides a good example of a maturing forested swamp. The swamp contains a good diversity of plants. However, these wetlands are located on private property which limits the use for education or scientific study. 11-Uniqueness/Heritage: These functions are related to the ability of the wetland to serve as an important archeological site, provide habitat for endangered species, or contain either unique vegetative communities or landforms. >Based on review of the aerial photos along with the visual observations of the wetlands, it appears that the forested swamp is over 100 years old. The swamp provides a good example of a maturing forested swamp. 12-Visual quality aesthetics: This value considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the wetland. >The maturing forested swamp does provide for good aesthetics. Access into the swamp is hindered by the soft, mucky soils. 13-Endangered species habitat: This value considers the ability of the wetland to provide habitat for threatened or endangered species. >The CT DEEP Natural Diversity Data Base Map for Darien was reviewed online (Map dated June 2016). According to the DEEP map there are no records of State or Federal Listed Species&Significant Natural Communities identified in the project area. 6 Table One.

Enclosed is a revised Text Amendment dated 12/10/2016 that addresses open space in section 7.22.9. As outlined in the revised Text Amendment,Conservation Areas will be required. Enclosed in the updated site plans is an easement map outlining an area that is proposed to be a dedicated conservation area. • Site Plan 1. Plans should reflect name change. : The project is now referred to as 175 Oakland Road and is noted on the enclosed updated Site Plans. 2. Lighting plan with photometric diagram and lighting fixture should be included in the set. A lighting plan including photometrics is included in the enclosed updated Site Plans.Cut sheets for the proposed lighting fixture are enclosed. : JV • • • 3. Missing architectural drawings for the two buildings closest to Oakland Road should be submitted. s Updated architectural drawings are enclosed. 4. Walking path from the development through Berry Patch I and II should be better defined with way finding signage. A sidewalk is proposed that connects the site,at the proposed bus shelter location,to the : Berry Patch I and II projects through the existing BP I and II entrance drive off of Oakland Road. Walkway signage will be added to better define the walking path from the development through Berry Patch I and II. The location,design,and quantity of signage will be developed by the applicant in consultation with Town staff and subject to final review and approval by Town staff prior to installation. : S. Buildings should be numbered individually;attached is an address scheme from the assessor's office for the building numbering. : The building numbering as shown on the attached site plans is the Applicant's desired layout. It is our understanding that the numbering of the building is still under review from : the.Planning and Emergency Services staff. The Applicant will work with Town staff to finalize the building numbering layout. 6. Bus shelter location should be shown. The bus shelter location is shown in the northeastern corner of the site,near the intersection of Oakland Road and the access drive to the adjacent Berry Patch residential development as shown on the enclosed updated Site Plans. • 7. Existing trees should be identified on the plans. Trees to be relocated(as indicated to.Leff Folger in the field)should be shown on the plans and existing trees to remain should be identified. Existing trees,including those to be maintained,are identified on the Demolition Plan included in the enclosed updated Site Plans. ADRC comments : • Trees to be saved should be identified on the plans with a tree preservation plan. Existing trees to be maintained are identified on the Demolition Plan included in the enclosed updated Site Plans. e • • • EnLyineerina comments dated 12/2/16: 1. Consider making the sidewalks 6 feet wide where they are adjacent to parking spaces and curbs. It is the applicant's belief that the 5 foot sidewalks are adequate as this is a residential use and 6 foot sidewalks are generally associated with more intense uses such as a commercial use.Also,when considering the proposed 5' wide sidewalks adjacent to parking spaces are in addition to the 0.75' wide curb that is proposed,this creates an effective distance between the face of curb and back of walk of 5.75'. : 2. A Fire Truck and other emergency vehicles as well as garbage and service trucks need to be able to easily enter and drive around the site without running into curbs or parked vehicles. The emergency vehicle circulation exhibit dated 11-30 shows several places where afire trucks wheels will be over curbs and very close to parked vehicles. Adjustments to the site layout such as widening all or part of this driveway to 26 feet, widening the entrance and exit lanes to 18 feet and increasing turning radii should be considered so afire truck can easily enter and drive around this site. • The enclosed updated Emergency Vehicle Circulation Exhibits(clockwise and : counterclockwise)reflect the wider 18' access lanes and increased curb radii(from 18'to 22')and show the emergency services vehicle navigating the site without conflict. It is our understanding that the Fire Department is satisfied with the plan modifications and the exhibit. 3. The 18 foot radius on the northern part of the site appear to be too tight. These corners should have 20-25 foot radius to allow more turning room for vehicles. The previously proposed 18' radii on the northern part of the site are now shown as 22' radii on the Site Plan included in the enclosed updated Site Plans. This update is also shown on the Emergency Vehicle Circulation Exhibits. : 4. Show a sidewalk connection to the existing sidewalks in Berry Patch I. A sidewalk connection to the existing sidewalks in Berry Patch I is now shown on the Site Plan included in the enclosed updated Site Plans. : 5. Most of the proposed retaining walls should be about I foot higher.A profile of all the retaining walls that shows the top and bottom of the walls as well as the adjacent ground needs to be provided to help finalize the elevations before the design of these walls is : complete. No changes have been made at this time to the retaining walls in the enclosed updated Site Plans.As this project moves forward and before final wall designs are initiated,wall : : profiles will be developed and submitted to Town staff for review and approval prior to construction,a note has been added to the site plans requiring this coordination. 6. How will the ground and pathway between units 3 and 4(FF=123.5)and units 5(126.5)be graded? The contours and drainage inlet elevations shown indicate slopes between 11 and 1616 in this area which is much too steep for a sidewalk cross slope. The grades between these units need to be reviewed and probably revised. : • The Grading Plan included in the enclosed update Site Plans incorporates additional proposed spot elevations to better define the proposed topography in this area. The maximum proposed cross slope of the sidewalks in this area is 2%. Also,for additional detailing,the top and bottom elevations of the landscape collection areas have been added (elevations also reflected on the Landscaped Collection Area detail). The proposed topography included in the enclosed updated plans is substantially the same in this area as previously proposed with the exception of the added spots for clarification. : 7. The slope of the walk to the entrance on the south side of building 2 is almost 6%which is very steep close to the entrance. This slope should be reduced. The Grading Plan included in the enclosed update Site Plans now has additional proposed spot elevations to better define the proposed topography in this area. The maximum proposed cross slope of the sidewalks in this area is 2%and the maximum proposed running slope is 5%. The proposed topography included in the enclosed updated plans is substantially the same in this area as previously proposed with the exception of the added spots for clarification. 8. Where were TP I and 12 taken?I did not see these on the Drainage Plan. TP11 and TP12 were taken within the area of Landscape Collection Area(LCA)#2 as shown on the Drainage Plan included in the enclosed updated Site Plans. 9. The sanitary sewer gravity pipes should have a minimum slope of 2916. If this cannot be achieved, show that the anticipated peak flows will achieve a minimum cleansing velocity of 2.5 fps. The sanitary sewer gravity pipes are now proposed to have minimum slopes of at least 2% as shown on the Utility Plan included within the enclosed Site Plans. • 10. More information is needed for the sanitary force main including anticipated peak flows, a profile of this line and/or pipe slopes, elevations and pipe type. At this time,we have provided conceptual detailing of the proposed pump station with design parameters that are required to be met. Detailing is generic as to provide the Applicant with the flexibility of selecting a final pump product. The force main layout is shown,Daily and Maximum Daily flows are provided,and the pump station inlet and force ' o • e • e 0 main outlet elevations are shown so that,depending on the selected pump manufacture,the wet well,float elevations,and final pump selection can be selected. • The Applicant has committed to install a duplex pump and alarm system. Additionally,a pad mounted generator will be installed,capable of running the selected pumps. All of which are shown on the conceptual detailing provided in the revised set of site plans. 11. Design information for the proposed pump station will need to be submitted for review and approval. This includes the anticipated flows, wet well size, volume,pump sizing including design head and flow, elevation of control floats and volume between on-off-alarm modes, electrical controls building, emergency generator facilities, etc. e • Please see response to comment#11 above. • 12. Show all utility connections (water, sanitary sewer, gas, electric)to all buildings, esp. buildings 2, S, and 6. Utility connections have been added for all buildings. In those locations where water/sewer are to be interconnected between buildings,they are called out as such. • 13. Show how the drainage area for the water quality basin and stormceptor storm water treatment unit were determined, and haw the water quality flow rate and peak flow rate for the stormceptor water treatment unit were calculated. The drainage area for the water quality basin is noted on the enclosed Water Quality Drainage Areas Sketch and in the HydoCAD Report as Subcatchment area 1 S `Flow to : Basin' and has been highlighted for clarity. The drainage area for the water quality unit is noted on the enclosed Water Quality Drainage Areas Sketch and in the HydroCAD Report as Subcatchment area 4S `Flow to WQU' and has been highlighted for clarity. The water quality flow rate for the water quality unit was calculated in the Water Quality Flow Calculations included as an appendix the Stormwater Management Report. The peak flow rate for the water quality unit was calculated as the peak flow rate during the 10-year storm which is noted in the HydroCAD Report for Subcatchment area 4S `Flow to WQU'. 14. The Storm Water Management Report includes a summary table but I need more information as to how the post development flows for each catchment and the entire site were determined. Please call me to discuss this report. We were able to discuss concerns with Mr.Doolittle on a phone call on Wednesday, December 7,2016. The enclosed updated Stormwater Management Report includes e • • • • • 20. Specify the size of the Outlet Control Structure manholes and the location and construction of the weir in each, which are shown differently on the details. • The sizes of the Outlet Control Structures and the locations and orientations of the weirs in each are shown on Detail Sheet 4 included in the enclosed updated Site Plans. 21. Show the maximum slope on the Landscape Collection Area detail. • The maximum slope is added to the Landscape Collection Area detail shown on Detail Sheet 4 included in the enclosed updated Site Plans. : Environmental comments dated 11130/16: 1. A soil report must be provided that estimates the infiltration capacity of the subsoil. A soil report that addresses the infiltration capacity of the subsoil is enclosed within the enclosed updated Stormwater Management Report.It is noted that the inflation capacity of the soil is limited,thus the revised drainage computations attached hereto no longer account for infiltration, though there is a limited amount anticipated with the designs. : 2. The subsoil on the site is comprised of red sandstone parent material with a silty composition. Perimeter erosion controls must be designed to adequately trap and filter fine soil particles to prevent discharge into the adjacent pond or watercourse. • Perimeter erosion controls are shown on the Erosion and Sedimentation Plan included in the enclosed updated Site Plans. A double row of silt fencing has been added to the previously proposed erosion control measures to assist in preventing sediment runoff from the property. • 3. Temporary protection of the outlet structure in the proposed water quality basin is required to trap fines within the basin during construction. e • Additional temporary protection of the outlet structure in the proposed water quality basin is shown on the Erosion and Sedimentation Plan included in the enclosed updated Site Plans. This : includes a gabion/woodchip dike located at the outlet of the water quality basin. • 4. The existing Oakland Road runoff outfall needs to be evaluated and have some stabilization measures applied to this area. The existing outfall is proposed to be improved as shown on the Grading and Drainage Plans included in the enclosed updated Site Plans. : e • • • • • • e • • • • 5. The stormwater retention system relies to a large part on the storage space around the proposed e pipe system and within the rain gardens. Please provide the combined storage volumes involved with this system and compare this volume to a standard retentionldetention basin of appropriate size. : If you consider all of the storage capabilities for the landscape collection areas and the underground infiltration trenches,it would equate to a conventional drainage basin of approximately 75'wide by 135' long and 3' deep. An exhibit of this was presented to the Inland Wetland Agency at their hearing on December 7,2016. e 0 • • We trust that the above and enclosed information and plans satisfactorily address the staff comments as outlined above.If any additional information is needed or any additional questions arise,please feel free to contact us at 860-291-8755.

The project is to build a 78 unit multi-family housing facility,parking, and stormwater structures on 9.8 acres. Regulated activities include 57,896sgft or 1.3 acres of disturbance in the Upland Review Area(URA). Site: The proposal includes combining two parcels. One site is a 1.5 acre residential lot located on the east portion of the project area. No wetlands occur on this site, it is currently a house and lawn with steep slopes along the perimeter. The second parcel has a residential house near Oakland Rd and several older farm buildings to the south of the house and a mowed field that abuts the first house site. The current use for this parcel is a small business (landscaping) and was formerly a paving business. The proposed construction will occur on 5.8 acres. The site is located in the Farm Brook sub- watershed. Farm Brook merges with Plum Gully Brook several hundred yards to the northwest of the site. The Farm Brook main channel is located along the eastern and southern portion of the property. Wetlands on the property include forested riparian wetlands adjacent to the brook and the adjacent flood plain, a pond, and the watercourse channel itself. The forested wetlands are dominated by a red maple overstory, with a sparse understory. The forest floor is comprised of various sedges. The watercourse is confined by relatively steep slopes on either side. The stream channel is meandering with an average depth of 12 to 18 inches. The channel width averages 2 to 3 feet in width. The base flow depth averages 4 to 6 inches during average storms (up to 1" of rainfall). Larger events result in the channel overflowing into the adjacent flood plain. The channel bottom for the length involved ranges from sandy to somewhat gravelly. The gravel sections occur in the western portion of the proposed site. The pond is located in the Farm Brook channel itself, and has a control structure (concrete weir) that regulates flow on the western side of the pond. The pond is deep for a waterbody in this Town being up to 10 feet in some places. Major functions of the watercourses and associated wetlands, are stormwater retention and flood storage, finfish habitat, nutrient and sediment removal, and surcharge recharge. Habitat values e are good within the wetland area forming a corridor; however wildlife values are estimated at being only moderate due to the amount of urban activity surrounding the area. This is a high value wetland system. The report by the environmental consultant gives an accurate evaluation of the wetland functions and values present. A stormwater discharge occurs approx. 210 feet below the pond. The drainage is from Oakland Rd. The exit point from the pipe has resulted in an eroded channel through short the flood plain to the stream channel. The slopes leading to the watercourse south of the large storage buildings are comprised of debris of all sorts. Tires,yard mulch, wood and plastic are visible in the top layer. The side slopes along the northern portion of the pond are vegetated with mature pines, hemlock and maple trees. The majority of the conifers are in severe decline and pose a concern about the stability of the slope. Should the trees fall,there is a real concern that they would yank a portion of the slope with them, which could be a starting point for a eroding gully causing sediment to impact the water quality of the pond and watercourse. Impacts: The site is proposed to be graded from north to south. The proposed buildings will be built on a slight terrace with higher portion on the northern portion of the property and lower portions on the southern portion. The nature of the proposed grading will leave most of the site (5+acres) open and disturbed. No direct wetland impacts are proposed though in order to stabilize the eroded area exiting the existing stormwater pipe, direct disturbance to the floodplain and wetland would be required. The soils mapped on the northern and southern sites are listed as Haven and Enfield Silt Loams. These soils have an erosion potential listed as low to moderate. Earthen berms and temporary sediment basins are proposed to contain and channel stormwater within the site and prevent stormwater impacts to the watercourse at the bottom of the slope. I have requested additional measures to be incorporated in the perimeter erosion controls, namely the addition of woodchips to act as an additional filter medium to more efficiently capture fine sediment particles. Additional filter measures are also requested at the outflow structure of the water quality basin during construction. Stormwater Stormwater quantity is proposed to be addressed by the construction of rain gardens throughout the property that capture runoff from non-paved areas. The rain gardens are fitted with underdrains and overflows to allow residence time without extended ponding. r Roof and paved areas are proposed to drain into a pipe system that is designed to mimic an infiltrator system. The larger conveyance pipes are proposed to be perforated with weirs inserted within the pipes at strategic locations. Fill areas around the pipes will be enlarged and backfilled with stone to act as storage areas along the pipe run. This LID design will attenuate stormwater volumes before being discharged to an open detention basin. Catch basins are proposed to contain two-foot sumps and trap hoods to capture sediment and floatables. Two hydrodynamic separators are proposed to be installed at the southern junctions before being discharged to the wetlands. I have asked the application to calculate the total storage volume within the pipe system and compare this volume to a standard open detention basin. A water quality basin is proposed to capture runoff generated from the eastern portion of the site, particularly from the paved areas. This basin will discharge to the hydrodynamic separator as well. -- (OJ - -- - ----- _ REFERENCES: -_ - -----_ THIS PLAN REFERS TO THE FOLLOWING: O p PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION ACCESS.ALL 1.
