Meeting called to order at 7:00 PM.

I. Subdivisions:

Gottorff Subdivision: Northwest corner of Washington and Chambers Streets

Findings:

1. Previous name was Della Fave. Refer to Conservation notes of 2/5/2019.

2. Bedrock is exposed or just underneath the surface.

3. The three main soil types are ChA, Churchville; OdA, Odessa and OW, Ovid. All soils types have seasonal high water with a depth to the water table being 6 to 12 inches. Slow permeability, which would affect septic systems.

4. An Agricultural Data Statement was supplied, as there is active farming in the area.

5. Percolation rates were from 4 to 29 minutes. The fast rates are a pollution hazard.

6. Lot 1 had bedrock at 4 feet at the house location. Lot 2 had a statement of no bedrock in the deep hole, but bedrock is noted on the print next to the house location.

7. A tremendous amount of fill will be required.

8. Proper erosion control will have to be constructed and maintained during the construction phase.

9. Water drainage will be an issue due to the wetness of the area and due to potential volumes. The area is relatively flat so the drainage should be designed to accommodate the flow and directed properly to a receiving body of water.

10. Part 1 of the Full EF was supplied.

Recommendations:

1. Ensure that the erosion control is properly installed and maintained.

2. All drainage issues should be resolved before construction begins.
