Mr. Stevens asked that as-built plans of the flood storage chamber also be submitted. The easement for the storm drain at the rear of the property is being signed and recorded.

OTHER COMMISSION BUSINESS-
The Commission discussed work that is proposed at 26 Frazer Rd. The owners are proposing an addition to the rear of the house and the Mill Brook enters a culvert nearby. The Commission measured the distance to the culvert and the proposed work is just beyond the 100 foot Buffer Zone. The culvert is just over 200 feet long, therefore there is no Riverfront Area on the parcel. Ms. Beckwith will contact the owner.
The Commission voted to convene at approximately 10p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Corinna Beckwith
