hey there when i welcome you all to the town of richmond development review we're meeting for wednesday january fourteenth for those in the audience please sign if you want to become what's called an interested party and it in a manner you need to not only attend the meeting but you need to say something at the meeting that way you can if you feel if you meet other which is just about the south of you into that sort of looks like a shed most people drive by combined they hold two hundred fifty thousand gallons of water the water commission has decided to fill he would like to replace those too with a seven hundred sixty thousand gallon tank which has been designed like remote engineering last year at last town meeting we got approval for one point five million dollars and borrowing to be able to fund this project mountain engineering is going to give you all the details on the design in the technical specs and anything else that you want to have questions on but that's the basic story  the reason it's being so large compared to what we have now is to meet the fire storage requirements for water storage for fighting fires which are quite enormous but  that's why we've chosen the size tank none of those existing sites are suitable so we've chosen the site across the road early in the summer the r v approval for a subdivision we took roughly volume we have decided that we need to install some sort of a retaining wall because in and that would be from along through  ground that is well whatever the standard is it's a ready rock wall so it's about a foot and a half or so it's a self self self supporting wall and again that's to get us in a perfect world we would probably come all the way up the road if there was no road there but in this case we decided to do two and that will protect the whole site all the way around also and i did show pictures of that it's the same most very similar if not the same as the one that's going to looking back i think where the where the existing site has now gone from and how much higher or lower or where their roof pitch is now for the existing fifty get thousand gallon tank into you know other than the exception again if there's a way to deter that we could certainly i wouldn't want to say no because again it's at the access they are but you know there may be again and i'm not familiar with in but i know that if you're not putting at least thirty six inches into the into the into the bank and you don't have a least a ton of a half an inch block in you may be the one thing that i learned in my experience with walls is that in my mind my biggest concern here is the longevity of the wall as it relates to salt corrosion and my understanding is that the course we're so close to the jericho road there that is going to get a significant amount of salt corrosion is there any treatment or anything that the manufacturer is treating this wall with that is specific to returning that problem and that is a question that will be answered i think you should intervene from up from forty years standpoint or fifty years and when the water that you know in the park and ride it probably wouldn't be too bad because all you do is pushing snow up but when you're running this truck up and down that road like we do and you get saw going everywhere you look at the longevity of the wall over decades would be a concern and if you're on again i can certainly answer that question and this is a common use for this correct direct yes but i think the concrete guys will tell you that over a period of time salt will corrode concrete again i think we should because the last thing we want to do is to have those coming out of south you drive and looking at a gravel driveway that's just been created good good road could get pushed around could not be properly maintained just because nobody paid attention to it or whatever that on as we move forward in the project so this is a cast a place you're going to there's been a period time when there's going to be a problem truck and cement truck all get to that in the second since i've been here the past five years the rivers flooded about half a dozen times and each time it does a little bit more of the bank starts to collapse in various locations it happens very little at a time it's gradual for instance this past spring when we had a little minor flooding volunteers green part of the trail that runs along the river lower portion of the park eroded and a couple of trees fell so it's very gradual and people of had the suggestion that for the park at least we need to be concerned about how over time that's going to impact the use of the park but more importantly on the wellhead site it's a very small site that's our sole water source for the village and we really want to get something that's going to prevent i will say that the volunteers green part of it the plan calls for the roof of vegetation along the top of the bank i'm not sure poison ivy homeowners a lot of trees there too and it provides a certain know it sounds sort of like a like a wavering position from the applicant but there's quite a distance between the edge of the river bank and in any facility some volunteers green i'm not sure we need to do this right away but again the wellhead site is well worth critical kind of much less expensive project probably less than a third of the cost of tears screen and that i think we would get recommendation for both for that this application recommendation of the source behind where i've been service some of the homes on the south side of the bridge i don't know which ones but i think the very old homes because by the modern age people had create a walkway there because that is pretty popular in the summer this is a place to put in and take out and as i joked about there is a lot of education there is poison ivy as it tends to be a lo then we're going to be in a spot where we've put in before we have to do it again or just live with what happens and also with riprap it's more durable than the material behind a lot of times with river gets behind it it can actually do worse damage who designed this get paid to do it and it's it for inspection but if there's a lot of force moving water and when it's flooding it is unpredictable and so i don't know how  we have to have it in the in the application as both can we buy for kate and you're asking can only be up to the applicant right now they've presented us with note that we are striking from the applicant's description of this for this application the language that refers to stabilisation at fiddler's green i volunteer green which should be filler filigree which will be corrected volunteers green to eighty six bridge street parcel number b or zero two eight six that's to be struck from the approval as it's written as it was requested by the by the town are a the sony changes you know the fee schedule for the fee schedule i think we should have a larger board i mean i've we put it off several times now that you know i think i'd like one more time to look at it look it over it will have
