Pirrotta reads the legal notice. Michael Seekamp of Seekamp Environmental Consulting Inc,
representing the applicant, explains the project to create a fenced terraced lawn area. Seekamp
explains that the plan has been revised to remove the landscaped wall area and to extend the fence
line. The revised plan submitted on July 8, 2021 has the same date as the date included on the
original submittal, May 18, 2021. Seekamp describes the location of the wetland which is
approximately 30 feet lower than the yard. There will be approximately 600 square feet of grading
with about 33 cubic yards of fill added. Bertoni confirms with the consultant that there is no
Bordering Land Subject to Flooding on the property. There were no comments from members of
the public. There being no further questions or comments, Squibb moves to close the hearing.
