7.6 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMITTED PLANS AND DRAWINGS
Plans and drawings submitted to the Conservation Committee shall meet the following minimum requirements:
1.The drawings shall be of a size suitable to show in readable detail all the elements of the project and all resource areas within 200' of said project. In no event shall a drawing be less than 8 ½” x 11” (standard copy paper).
2.The following items shall be clearly shown on the drawings:
a. the boundary of any and all possible wetlands or vegetated wetland areas or other resource areas;
b. the 100' and the 200' buffer zone around the wetlands areas or any other protected areas;
c. all proposed or ongoing work activities within the wetland area or buffer zone. Both the project location and the limits of work shall be clearly defined;
d. natural conditions, including but not limited to vegetation, soils, slopes and other natural resources on site, such as stone walls, within 200 feet of the limits of disturbance whether on the lot or not;
e. topography;
f. proposed conditions, including but not limited to buildings, site drainage and building drainage;
g. location of water supply and distance to nearest septic system;
h. location of septic system and distance to nearest resource boundary and nearest well;
i. all utilities with numbers labeled on the plan;
j. all structures within 200 feet of the associated resource area(s).
3.All pertinent distances shall be dimensioned. The Commission will not rely on scaling. If any distances are omitted or unclear, the Applicant will be required to provide the dimensions and amend the drawings.
4.All distances shall be exact. The following tolerances will be assumed unless noted otherwise on the drawings:
a foot dimensions - plus or minus three inches
b. inch dimensions - plus or minus one quarter of an inch
c. for compound distances the smallest tolerance applies
d. approximate distances - plus or minus two feet
For example, a dimension marked (50') will be assumed to be 50 feet +/- 3 inches. A dimension marked (50' 6") will be assumed to be 50 feet 6 inches +/- 1/4 inch. A dimension marked (50' +/-) shall be assumed to be within 48' to 52'.
5.The most stringent dimension shall be used for Commission purposes.
6.All drawings shall be signed and dated by the applicant or the applicant’s agent. The applicant is responsible for the accuracy of the drawing.
7.No application will be considered for review until two copies of the drawing are submitted to the Conservation Commission.
8.The Commission reserves the right to require resubmittal of revised drawings if significant changes are required either as a result of error or of changes in the project workscape.
9.In the event of questions or conflicts between verbal information and the drawing, the drawing govern.
PLEASE NOTE: The applicant should keep one complete copy of all materials and documents.
The Conservation Commission has adopted the following policies that will be enforced for all projects: No pesticides fertilizers or herbicides are allowed to be used within 100 feet of any resource area. No quick release pesticides fertilizers or herbicides or salts are allowed to be used within 200 feet of any resource area. No alteration of land or cutting of vegetation is allowed within 25 feet of any resource area. No alteration of land or cutting of vegetation is allowed within 200 of any perennial river or stream without rebutting all presumptions of significance and without proving beyond a reasonable doubt that there are no other practicable alternatives.
