The meeting was called to order at 1:00 p.m. Where a replacement member for Shep Harris had not been appointed by the Council, it was decided to postpone election of a new chair until that was done. The June 6, 2008 Meeting Summary was reviewed and revisions were made. A corrected version will be provided at the next meeting. Jeff Allen presented a revised plan for the ALSID project at 878 Stillwater Avenue, which was previously reviewed by the Commission. Jeff described the following changes: 1) A large single building will be replacing two previous buildings, and the third building was the same. Total impervious area will not be increased. 2) The two drives would remain the same. 3) Different stormwater management measures would include a bio-retention cell versus previous underground system. 4) Circulation and access points would essentially be the same. Jeff mentioned that the project will incorporate some “rainwater harvesting” measures to meet some non-potable water needs. Jim Parker motioned and George Elliott seconded to recommended approval. There was a unanimous vote in favor. Jeff requested permission to talk about Walmart’s mitigation work and the channel restoration of the old manmade ditch. August work would be anticipated. Proposed changes: 1) Still rock lined bottom. 2) Ease/vegetate side slopes rather than 2:1 rock armored. 3) Meander change. 4) Felled tree dams. Jim Parker expressed concern about “improvement to the stream” that could shift setback requirements and impact the adjacent property owned by Cindy DeBeck’s family. He also requested that consideration be given to that concern. Jeff will review and get back to Jim Parker. Tom suggested to defer item five until Shep’s replacement is seated and could review, then could restart discussion. All agreed. 1 George mentioned Jim Gooch from Trust for Public Land could come speak with the Commission in August. George motioned and Jackie seconded to invite Jim Gooch to the August 1, 2008 meeting. The vote was unanimous. Lucy provided an update on the Bangor Land Trust Activity Report. Jim Parker suggested revisiting the discussion Jackie brought up last time about the checklist. He also raised the question as to whether it was necessary to revisit projects like ALSID, discussed earlier. He stated the mapping of vernal pools has “significant” impacts for USACE consideration. Jim Parker will provide more information to Jim Ring for distribution to the group. Hope requested that full packets not be printed for the meeting if it was not necessary, and requested the members bring their copies to avoid unnecessary printing and use of paper. The meeting was adjourned. 2
