Ian Cole, Registered Soil Scientist, Killingly Engineering, presented the revised plan,
highlighting changes made based on comments from Environmental Planner. I. Cole
answered various questions from the Commission regarding erosion control and excavation.

boundary. I. Cole agreed to review this suggestion with Normand Thibeault, P-E. The

adjacent property. The Commission requested Killingly Engineering come back to the next
meeting to answer additional questions, including clarification of roof material and
verification of stormwater velocity.
