Old Business:
Toll Brothers: Arty. Fitzpatrick submitted plans and layout for Toll Brothers project. He also submitted documents stating anticipated flows.
J. Cerkanowicz, BL Companies, answered questions regarding plans. Arty. Fitzpatrick stated Toll Brothers had no problems if the Town
of Prospect wished to own the 8" sewer line, but if needed, they would issue an easement. C. Erickson expressed concern with flow rates
of 127.5 gallons per day per bedroom. The actual capacity is consistent with DEP regulations. C. Wester asked if the units can be changed
from a 55 and over units. It was stated that a zoning change would have to be made to remove restrictions. S. Poryanda suggested
videotaping the lines along with the pressure testing. Toll Brothers have agreed. Plans were shown that explain how parts of Williams
Drive can be added to the sewer line. J. Cerkanowicz suggested that it would be better that the lower part of Williams Drive connect from
Dinatali Drive in Waterbury. It was also explained that the proposed system does have capacity to accept Williams Drive and Knapp Drive.
Arty. Fitzpatrick explained that it may be necessary to request WPC A to hold a special meeting during July to approve an intermunicipal
agreement for the project. The agreement is currently in draft form but it will be completed within two weeks. The agreement needs to be
approved by Prospect WPC A prior to Toll Brothers presenting it to Waterbury Board of Alderman. A special meeting will be scheduled if
necessary.
Boulder Brook Agreement: The following issues were addressed in the agreement: WPCA Approvals, Indemnity Clause, Emergency Call, and Insurance. The fees will be collected by the association for a once a year payment to the Borough of Naugatuck. The committee is still looking for as built plans. Atty. Casagrande will put together a final draft. Sewer Use Ordinance: C. Wester suggested putting a moratorium in place to prevent any projects requiring sewer from being approved prior to sewer use ordinance and a municipal sanitary sewer plan being put in place. Discussion followed. Zoning Regulations: C. Wester and D. Brown will review the zoning regulations to develop proposed revisions that would require development applications to be reviewed and approved by the WPCA.
New Business:
Town Sewer Plan: The urgency of developing a Town Sewer Plan was discussed. It was determined that WPCA will prepare an agenda and request a meeting with Mayor Robert Chatfield and Town Council Chairman, Joseph Commendatore to discuss a course of action for creating a sewer plan for the Town.
Open: C. Wester suggested that WPCA request Toll Brothers to install a sewer connection from the proposed sewer main crossing Scott Road to Williams Drive for future use. The sewer connection would be a dry pipe capped outside of the Scott Road pavement limits. If Toll Brother's agrees to install the dry pipe it should also be reviewed by the Town Engineer to avoid conflicts with the Scott Road Phase 2 Reconstruction project drainage.
Motion by D. Brown, seconded by C. Wester, to adjourn meeting at 8:38 pm. Unanimous.
Respectfully Submitted,
Carla Erickson
