CONSERVATION COMMISSION MINUTES
DECEMBER 28, 2004

PRESENT:     Sally Underwood-Miller, Chair, convened the meeting at 7:10 p.m.  Members present: Don Deno, Steve Shatz, and George Shippey.   Absent: Joseph DeGiorgis, John Hart, and Cathy Plakun.

Minutes Approval – Member Shatz made a motion to approve the Minutes of November 23, 2004 and the Minutes of December 14, 2004.  The motion was seconded by member Deno and all voted in favor.

Beachwood Lenstock Association, Oak Lane, NOI - culvert replacement – Mark Volk from Foresight Engineering presented the replacement of a 30” culvert with a 24” CMP culvert.  It has been determined that the stream is intermittent.  The replacement would be an aluminum spiral pipe which will be able to handle greater volume than the present culvert.  The Commission would like to see a maintenance plan for clean-out, with or without a sump.  A recommendation was voiced by member Shatz that a letter be sent to the Association outlining what the Commission expects regarding Beachwood roads and culverts, as pertains to the Commission’s jurisdiction.  It was suggested that all Beachwood culvert replacements anticipate the town culvert requirements in the event that the Beachwood roads are submitted for Town acceptance in the future. 

Signatures – Members present signed Amended Order of Conditions: Cohen, 84 Interlaken Road; Determination of Applicability: Nunberg, 15 Interlaken Crossroads; and Determination of Applicability: Elmslie, 38 Lake Drive.

Haldor Reinholt, Mahkeenac Shores Road – The Commission received a letter from Attorney Lori Robbins representing Mr. Reinholt requesting a continuation from the December 28, 2004 meeting.  The Commission agreed to the request.

Tribute – Chair, Sally Underwood – Miller, expressed great satisfaction with how Kristin Garner is handling the Commission’s secretarial duties while Denise Schneyer is recuperating from surgery, and directed the minutes to reflect this tribute.

With no further business, member Deno made a motion to adjourn at 8:30 p.m., seconded by member Shatz and all voted in favor.
