Public Comment Opened
Hank Flum, spoke again project being built on fill. Concerned about flooding and cost to tax
payer for flood costs, and traffic. The detention pond will be dangerous to the nearby school
and children. Does not feel the detention pond will not provide relief for flood water.
Christie Flum ceded time to Hank Flum
Tim Miller ceded his time to Hank Flum
Mike Marshall, concerned about basin, and fill being trucked in, concerned about pollution,
dust and traffic.
Mark Bisondi lives on Quarry Rd, concerned about safety with access points and pond. Basin
will smell. Consider gradual slope.
Richard Parker, live on Quarry Street, I live on a filled manure pond. I'm wondering about
peculation and where the water will go, keeping creek clean, cost of basin.
Mark Tomlinson main concern is the water flow. The creek is clogged by vegetation. Need to be
cleaned as part of this project.
Laura Shaw -Miller my home is built on a slab and we were never told we lived in a flood plain,
have had to replace our floors. Have a lot of distrust with the builder, do not want the homes
built.
Steve Giraud, we have had water issues on our concrete slab built homes. Concerned about
additional cars going through access roads.
Laura Giraud concerned about emergency vehicles and traffic access. Would like Corona Road
as an access point rather than interior neighborhood. Would like explanation about UGB and
how the process works.
Steve Matthas live on Andover, have concern about mold issues, natural habitats, construction
noise, access on Monica. Would like Corona Road as access. Do not approve subdivisions
Lisa Jepsen- trucks on residential streets, propose a new entrance on corona road, think about
impacts for school children.
Ted Keys- lived there for 20 years, how can you insure there is no water run off. Major concern
about water run off. How can I insure that when a flood comes that I won't be flooded out?
Plan to protect Nora Lane. Encourage access from Corona
Carol Russell- Do not trust DELCO to reduce flooding. Fire in new subdivision.
Joint HCPC/Planning Commission Meeting of January 28, 2014 Page 7
Patrick Bentivena--Traffic, Corona Road not a rural street inrush hour. More traffic, dangerous,
no sidewalks, trench. Against the subdivision. Concerns about flooding.
