Secretary Whalen recused his voting position and Chairman Klemens appointed Alternate Schiffer as the voting alternate for the application. Bill Rueckert (General Partner – Lime Rock Park II, LLC), Engineer Todd Ritchie (SLR Consulting) and Dicky Riegel (President and CEO) represented Lime Rock Park II, LLC for the special permit application.

He displayed the location of the proposed Paddock B construction site located outside of the 100-year FEMA Floodplain and 500-year floodplain. He stated that the land needs to be tapered down to reach the existing elevation of the paddock due to the proposed location of the garages being at the 500-year floodplain elevation. He stated 100 cubic yards of fill would be deposited within the regulated 100-year FEMA floodplain area to achieve the elevation change. He highlighted the location

Open Hearing & Possible Consideration Chairman Klemens explained that the hearing was for a special permit application for a tennis court less than 50 feet from a wetland and outside of a buildable area at 105 Belgo Road in Lakeville. Secretary Whalen opened the hearing at 5:50 p.m. with the reading of the call. Engineer Todd Parsons (Lenard Engineering) and Cameron Surratt (Property Owner) represented the permit application. Cameron Suratt introduced the proposal, stating that herself and her husband (Daniel Suratt) have been residents of the Town of Salisbury for 11 years. She stated that they have been working closely with appropriate Commissions and Engineer Parsons to ensure that the addition of the tennis court to their property is done in a responsible and ecologically sound manner. Engineer Parsons reviewed the plans and presented a permit request for an accessory structure outside of a buildable area. He identified the eligibility for special permit because the lot predates Zoning requirements. Due to the topography and slope of the property, the proposed tennis court cannot be constructed within a buildable area. He presented the second permit request for a reduced setback from a wetland. The Regulations indicate that an accessory structure must be placed no closer than 50 feet from a watercourse or body of water unless a special permit is obtained. He indicated that the southwestern portion of the tennis court would be within the 50- foot setback from a wetland area. The proposed tennis court construction site is currently occupied by the septic system of the principal residence. A new septic system was proposed north of the tennis court and outside of the 75- foot Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission’s upland review area. Due to the slope of the property, Engineer Parsons stated that the use of a retaining wall and fill would be required around the perimeter of the court. He specified that the erosion control plan included the presence of a retaining wall; filter sock along the northern, eastern, and southern edges of the proposed tennis court; a sedimentation trap on the western edge of the tennis court site with a

Receive & Schedule Hearing Bill Rueckert (General Partner – Lime Rock Park Group LLC), Engineer Todd Ritchie (SLR Consulting – PE, Certified Environmental Engineer, Flood Plain Manager), and Dicky Riegel (President and CEO of Lime Rock Park LLC) represented Lime Rock Park II LLC for a site plan modification. Engineer Ritchie oriented the Commission to the locations of the proposed paddock B garages and concessions building via an aerial view of the track with the floodplain boundary line. He stated that the proposed garages would be outside of the 100-year flood plain, above the 100-year flood elevation line, and would have a finished floor at the 500-year flood plain elevation. He indicated the location of a proposed swale to redirect stormwater from the existing slope, as well as new underground detention areas underneath the asphalt paddock area. A septic system and well (150 feet apart) are to be installed behind the garage to service restrooms and provide water to the new building. Due to the volume of septic discharge (exceeding 7,500 gallons per day), Engineer Ritchie clarified that the septic systems for Lime Rock Park are under the jurisdiction of the Connecticut DEEP rather than Torrington Area Health District (TAHD). Engineer Ritchie continued the presentation with the proposed remodeling of the concession stand to accommodate the campus kitchen, two outdoor seating areas, a gravel driveway, two handicap accessible parking spaces, and a sidewalk to access the seating areas. He continued that a new septic system would be installed adjacent to the building to accommodate wastewater from the kitchen and the employee restroom. Chairman Klemens requested that Engineer Tom Grimaldi (R.R. Hiltbrand Engineers and Surveyors) review the modified site plan prior to application approval.

DOR: 01/18/2022 Reception, Consideration, Schedule Hearing Todd Parsons of Lenard Engineering represented the Suratt property at 105 Belgo Road in Lakeville for the proposal of two special permits. Mr. Parsons reviewed the plans and presented a permit request for an accessory structure outside of a buildable area. He identified the eligibility for special permit because the lot predates the requirement. Due to the topography and slope of the property the proposed tennis court cannot be constructed within a buildable area. Mr. Parsons presented the second permit request for a reduced setback from a wetland. The Regulations indicate that an accessory structure must be placed no closer than 50 ft from a watercourse or body of water unless a special permit is obtained. He indicated that the southwestern portion of the tennis court would be within the 50- foot setback of a wetland area. The proposed tennis court construction site is currently occupied by the septic system. He indicated pre-approval by both TAHD for the new septic system placement (which would be outside of the 75-foot wetland upland review area) and the Salisbury Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission for the construction plan. Mr. Parsons indicated that the application package for the permit included a written description and plans for grading; alternatives considered; planting; erosion control; invasive species management and removal; and stormwater management. Chairman Klemens discussed a potential need for Town consulting engineer review of the construction plans.

Secretary Whalen opened the hearing at 5:45p.m. with the reading of the call. Seth Churchill (Churchill Builders, Contractor), Kevin Wolfe (Architect), and Chuck Tuz (Churchill Builders) represented the application. Mr. Churchill stated that the special permit request was to renovate an existing guest house on the Easton property. He stated that the main and second floors would serve as the accessory apartment but indicated that the basement was intended to be a separate finished space accessible only to the outdoor pool area. To meet zoning regulations to not exceed the maximum floor area of an accessory apartment (<2,000 ft 2 ), Mr. Churchill shared plans to create an open stairwell from the main floor to the second floor, as well as bring inward the interior walls of the residential space by 14 inches. The resulting proposed maximum floor area of the accessory apartment would be 1,997 ft 2 .
