Dear Planning and Zoning Commission:
For the sake of time and since the applicant will be reviewing the application with you, we are asking
that you may consider asking some of our questions during hearing. In other public meetings the review
tended to drag on by the applicant attorney and engineer causing us to have limited time to speak.
1. Who will manage the monitor and enforce the activities that they promised to monitor?
a. The bioretention Basin erosion and what is the schedule
b. Parking on narrow private road and ingress and egress?
c. One family per dwelling/ what’s is defined as a family/ how many people per family?
2. If there is damage to abutters property during and after construction will there be a Financial
Compensation bond or special insurance to cover this and how will residents file a claim when
needed?
3. All blasting should be addressed and denied since property is too close to existing residents.
Do they for see any blasting to be needed?
4. How will they address existing rat problems since there are existing issues the neighborhood?
The habitats that are keeping them at bay are disturbed and destroyed during construction.
5. What is the construction schedule? Will there be construction fencing put up for safety
reasons?

plans and what is the planting plan for the arborvitaes?

the current neighbors?

10. What type on onsite maintenance and management will be provided if any? In not what is
the Schedule?

11. Since we know this is wetlands and a high moisture area how are the mobile homes
designed to protect against mold? What measures will be taken to treat mold issues?
12. Is there anyway to reduce the size of the basin? What will mosquito treatment plan look like
especially with wetlands involved and no pesticides allowed which will harm the wetlands and
other species that keep the eco system thriving?
13. What protection is in place for the residents’ mature trees where roots currently extend into
the construction zone of this project?
14. How will the firetrucks access the entire property in the event of a fire?
a. ingress / egress turning
b. 8-foot drop to east side of the property
c. how will they access the hydrants and effectively get to the entire property
15. If they break the water main even though viola water asked them not to place mobile homes
on top of the main water pipe that has already broken several times and there is damage to
existing houses who will be responsible?
16. What safety measures will be put in place for the properties on the east side with the 8 feet
drop directly behind the units?
Thankyou for any support you can provide,
