3.     Other Business:

        a.  IWWA Regulation Revisions:  Ms. Bednaz discussed the possibility of looking further into Section 9 and how it relates to Town wide activities such as culvert cleaning.  Agency members had some discussion of this idea and decided to get more input from DPW before changing the Public Hearing regulations.

Section 10 and 11 were covered during discussions and it was agreed that Section 11 will change to Section 12.

Agency members discussed the role of the Wetland Agent in respect to administrative approvals.  Discussion also took place about the possibility of eliminating fees for minor activities (i.e. sheds or decks) on properties that are completely within the Upland Review Area.  Ms. Bednaz suggested Agency Members consider changing the 100’ upland review area to perhaps 50’ in these instances. 

It was decided further discussion may take place on this idea.

4.     Adjourn:  A motion was made by Agent Albert, seconded by Agent Camidge and unanimously voted to adjourn the meeting at 9:05 p.m. 

Respectfully Submitted,
