>> All right. Thank you. How are we looking? You folks see it? >> Yes. >> Terrific. Um, I will pull this baby over to the side here. So, the site located at 240 and 260 Pleasant Street. Uh on the locust map um we have uh connect church here, Metro Whis Christian Academy here, there's an industrial uh building here, um the Albany Boston Railroad behind the site and residential properties uh across the street as we it's located in the industrial district and the groundwater use restriction overlay district. Um the existing conditions for the site are here. Uh basically what we have is a 1.9 acre site comprised of two parcels in common ownership. Uh frontage is a total of 325 ft uh plus or minus. Uh access to the property is through connect church at Metro Whisk Christian Academy. This is a dedicated oneway out for these folks.
>> Yep. That ball got in for a strike, so that one was a little low. One and one to Taylor Kotch. So, Lorelei is certainly going to be watching to see if another one of these balls can get past this catcher. Let's see if she can get on second base. >> We have Quinn Herder on deck. If Taylor can Another ball gets past. That's a that's going to go down as a pass ball, popped out of the catcher's glove. >> just a little bit of bobble, so the catcher's not helping the pitcher out much either, so even even the last one, it was like the ball was in front of the catcher. Um you know, didn't really get away from uh it wasn't a wild pitch, but again, just a little mishandle behind the plate and we're taking advantage of that. Little high. So, we got a three-one count uh two-one.
Um and they have a gravel parking lot uh over in this area here. The parking lot can uh accommodate 30 spaces uh with having a comfortable 24ft maneuvering idle. They're unmarked, but it can accommodate 30 spaces. Topography on site, as you can see, uh from the contours is very flat. We have a couple depressions. We have a couple, you know, it it undulates slightly uh throughout the site, a couple depressions, and a couple little twoft mounds. uh on the project. Generally, storm water runs off in this direction to the northeast, to the southeast, and and to the east. Uh the the site is vegetated uh with a combination of evergreens and uh deciduous, primarily deciduous, and there's a lot of dense undergrowth uh uh underneath uh very dense and you know, briars and the like. Um the property also contains a buffer zone, 100 foot buffer zone to a bordering vegetated wetland uh to the south that's located in here.
Sorry, lost the count there for a second. Two and one. Two and one to Kotch. Collette is at second base. Should be running on anything. That one was That one got in. All right, you see it? Don't mind her taking a look at that one there. But now she's got two strikes, getting a little bit more aggressive at the plate here, Taylor. Let's see what she can do. Wheels, deals. High pie, past. Wild pitch. So, what it was a three and two count. Uh I did have it right the first time, Wayman. All right, that's all right. Should should have followed my gut. Taylor works a walk and Collette is on third on that wild pitch. So, Quinn Quinn can Quinn they're out there out there for you, Quinn. I would I would have to assume that Kotch is going to be running here with runner on third and two outs.
None of the work being proposed is located within uh that buffer zone. You see these symbols here, these are test pits that were necessary for the purposes of uh performing the storm water uh analysis. Um, the what we found out here is the federal EPA or or I'm sorry, the NRCS, National Real Resource Conservation Service, has data files on these types of soils and they mapped this area as a hydraologic soil group A, a well- draining sandy grally type soil. Our soil observations out here um found that to be consistent. Um, on site, you see these three little guys here. These are wells. These are monitoring wells. As you folks are aware, years ago, um Nyansa had a uh uh contamination into the the town's um aquifer. Um and it resulted in a super fund. It it went it became a super fund site. Part of their plume uh did expand onto this property.
They can force a bad throw or just uh catcher's indifference. Doesn't go yet. Takes a ball one to Herder. That was low. And Taylor stayed at first base. It'd be nice to see if we can get her into scoring position for Quinn. Take the fourth play out out as well out of play as well. Quinn, a good contact hitter. Let's see what she can do ahead of the count one-oh. Takes one outside, gets ahead. Two-oh and still Taylor Kotch is staying on first base. Throw over to third to try to get Lorelei off base, but Lorelei got back in plenty of time, so just a quick check. Kotch takes the signs from coach Sasso over at third base. Cam Curtis is our assistant coach coaching first. Kotch does indeed go now on that mishandled pitch by the catcher. We're going to have another pass ball and Kotch gets to second.
as as minor as it was with the contamination levels of the tricloralite uh it was uh it was still uh present on the site. The federal EPA got involved in it as did the mass DP and they have deemed this site now after some mitigation um that the site is now uh uh suitable for this type of use. Um the levels of this tricloralide uh were de at at depths of about 70 to 80 ft based on what we've read and based on correspondence with the with the feds in the state. So with that, like I said, um that's basically the site. No wetlands on site. Um and like I said, the traffic patterns uh come out in in this direction. North for the presentation, folks, is straight up the sheet. Uh I should have mentioned that earlier. So as with every project, we start with an uh erosion sediment control plan in a site preparation plan.
So, now we've got a three-oh count. Three-oh count for Herder with runners on second and third. Have to be thinking take here. Let's see what happens. She's got She gets the green light. Gets the green light. Takes a good hack. Three and one for Herder. Uh still her count. Let's Let's see what she does here with runners on second and third. It's loaded up here for Holly if she can get on base. And Ooh, that's strike out. Again, I must have lost the count there, Wayman, so shame on me. She she took one looking to end the inning. It is strike three. >> we got three across, so Certainly did. Three runs across, three runs on only two hits, one error and two left on after one. Ashland Clockers three, Wayland Warriors zero. Uh coming up to the plate here for Wayland in the top of the second, Wayman, we have uh third baseman Caitlyn DeGiulia, left fielder Abigail Bergeron, and catcher Sophia Gorky.
So that would start with the clearing of the trees around the limit of the proposed sa field and parking area as shown here. You will note that we did not intrude into this area which is these are to be maintained and protected as designated by the M&P and we're proposing an orange construction fence uh around that area that is to remain in place. uh throughout uh construction uh and to the very end. Um we have uh after we uh have the the areas uh cleared um before grubbing the erosion and sediment control measures would be installed along the edges uh as well as providing uh silt sacks uh erosion sediment control measures in the down gradient uh catch basins. When we do a project like this, it also includes an anti-tracking pad out at the con beginning of the construction site. This is essentially trap rock, 3 to 4 inch trap rock and it the infill on that is 1 and a half inch stone so tires on the construction construction vehicles don't pop when exiting the site.
Gorky. So, Wayman, you've been uh covering the Ashland sports scene for quite some time. Typically, you're doing the lacrosse games or or other sports. Nice to have you joining us here for your first softball No, absolutely. So, these players I've watched them play since they were in Ashland youth baseball softball. From from T-ball through first, second grade in town. Um so, happy to see these players stick with it and and they're making I mean they're they're they're thriving here, so Uh very exciting. I know you were the coach for some of them growing up. Yes, absolutely. Um spring, summer, even fall ball. Um But it's good to see this core group of girls just just grow together. Um Play for each other. And again, hopefully you know, looking forward to a really good season. Caitlyn DeGiulia takes the first pitch from Domenico on the top of the second.
The purpose of this is to remove all sediments before they uh get out onto the travel way. So again, the benefit of these is any sediment laden waters that may make its way out onto the road are intercepted here before it makes its way to a downstream uh resource area. Uh so the the the site pretty straightforward. Uh we're going to have as part of the design um a sediment basin down in here. It's the lower portion of the site. diversion channels uh which are demarked by this here and and this so that during construction as they're doing site work if we get a heavy rain um and soils start to migrate they're intercepted in this uh these diversion channels and make its way down into the um the sediment basin. The benefit to this these types of soils is that the likelihood that you're going to get any migrating soils when the site is stripped is pretty much slim to none.
High for ball. Uh but the next pitch is swinging a miss and and Domenico leaves it off. >> check swing. One one and one. Bella back in the circle again with pace. Looking to see if she can keep the Clockers ahead here. That's going to be a foul ball off the off the shin. It looked like it hit the batter in the shin. >> Yeah, a little bit of confusion there cuz the ball kind of trickled into play, but but the ump called it a foul ball. One and two is the count. Let's see if Domenico has another punch out in her here. Good. Ooh. >> Foul ball. Foul tip. Foul tip. Catcher couldn't quite squeeze that one. Tough tip, little bit low. Uh but we still ahead of the count one and two. Bella Bella is dealing. She is dealing and that's what she does, Wayman.
Um so with that that is the uh the proposed layout of uh the site prep that will have a construction trailer on site. Vehicle fueling is going to be located up here as far away from the uh 100t buffer zone as possible. Um we then move into the layout materials plan. Now, Madam Chair, when we met before we were looking at uh when we started this process, uh a couple things have changed. One, um we had we started with the natural turf field, which is now gotten synthetic turf. We started with, if you recall, a crush stone parking lot, and what we were doing there is we're looking to utilize the voids in the stone uh to detain uh and and or basically retain water on site and infiltrate it. Um after working with uh GCG on this um we had a differing opinion as to how to design the drainage system on this um after further discussion with the client.
She deals. Again, she throws strikes. That's her game. Little change Ooh. Little little off speed. Little off speed change up there. Not a bad pitch to waste. Two and two to Caitlyn DeGiulia. Little fun fact for you here, Wayman. I played Little League baseball with Caitlyn DeGiulia's father, Chris. That's incredible. It's a the full circle moment, Mike. >> Knocks knocks one foul down the first base line. Chris was a heck of a player. We played on the 12-year-old Red Sox together. We did win the Wilmington Little League World Series title Amazing. uh together as champions. Chris DeGiulia. >> And now his daughter's in the box and Caroline's behind the plate catching. Pretty fun moment. That's a that's a full arc right there. Ooh. Ball three and two >> Just a little low. to DeGiulia. So, what I can't do is root for her. I obviously want to see her have success, just not against the Ashland Clockers.
The client said you know what it's probably going to be a nightmare trying to maintain the stone. Why don't we just pave it? So we we proposed a paved parking lot. Now a couple other things came out of came out of that as well for for paving. But because we went with a a paved parking lot, um we're looking at a closed drainage system rather than the open swale drainage system uh system that we had before. The other thing that came out of this, Madam Chair, was comments made from the building inspector and I and from GCG about accessibility, handicap accessibility to the property. Initially, we had proposed a couple parking spaces here uh that were going to be paved and we looked at paving this. So, the only pavement on the property before was here, here, and here. We have since decided to pave the whole thing to make the concerns about uh accessibility uh routes to the building, to and from the building uh you know, we're looking at uh eliminate that.
You can go say hi after the game. Ooh. And that one's going to be just down. That's good patience. Another walk for Bella. It's the second walk of the day. The last one caused no harm. Let's hope that this will be the same as Abigail Bergeron, center field I'm sorry, left fielder at the left fielder The left fielder is a lefty too, so first lefty up at bat today. Shows bunt, gets by Kyra. Looked like that was going to be a strike. I think she offered. I did not see the umpire give it a single. No, the Julia took a second on that. >> Can you check the game change and see if he called that a ball or a strike for me, Wayland? I'm trying to see what he's got here. Looks like he's got 02. So, 02 two strikes on the batter. The first one wasn't indeed a strike, but Just 0 one and two to Bergeron.
We've increased it to three parking spaces where we have a sidewalk that comes from here to here and heads back over to Connect Church. Um, and at the head end of these parking spaces, because the pavement is flush with the sidewalk, uh, we're putting wheel stops in here, concrete wheel stops, which will be anchored to the pavement, uh, for the summer months. Um, again, at this end, we have an emergency vehicle. So, uh, parking spots dedicated signage is posted there for the purposes of sighting an ambulance here during, uh, soccer matches. Uh it is locked by a a a gate uh and a knock not a gate a uh a chain on ballards uh with a lock a knockbox contained in the key to unlock it. Uh the traffic patterns unlike the previous design we originally looked at uh that they originally had the one space one direction coming out of the site.
Runner on second base. Again, I'm I'm unfortunately blocked here by this first base coach. She likes to stand directly in my way. Tough spot. Strike three looking. >> Pitch. Good pitch, Bella. Another another backwards K for Domestico. And we've got one down for the number eight hitter catcher Sophia Gorky comes to the plate with the runner on second base. Domestico deals low. Looks like she might have lost that one. Lost the handle on that one. Not a big deal. Wastes that first one 1-0. Cold day. You got to keep those hands warm inside. Little outside. Outside to Gorky who's ahead of the count 2-0. Again, got to be a tough day to pitch like this and in the cold, especially being out after a long inning. Your offense put up some production. Hopefully she's keeping her hands warm in the dugout. Yes. That was a good pitch.
It is now a two-way traffic uh access into the site. This was part of the discussions with the town, excuse me and with uh with GCG. Uh there is a sign proposed out at the site identifying it as the the recreational field uh for Metro West uh Chris Christian Academy. Um trees are being proposed uh along the site um around the perimeter of the parking lot uh meeting the the the requirements uh of the town. We do have a playground area in here as well. We're looking almond. See that? That was originally a rubbercoated surface. Um the the church was thinking that they would do a rubber coated surface there um for uh the parents uh with kids. Um and they have since decided rather than do that, it's just going to be a lawn. No equipment on it, no playground equipment or anything. So, it's just going to be a lawn.
Comes back pitch. >> 2-1 now to Gorky. One out, runner on second base for the number eight hitter for the Warriors. Domestico deals. Good swing and a miss. Ooh. Caroline with a good recovery. >> uses it for a second. No harm done. Good recovery. I don't think they want to run on on on Caroline there. So, I got the scouting report on her. 2-2 count here. Domestico Strike three. Got in there. Another one looking. Another backwards K for Bella. That is her fourth strikeout on the day. Bringing up not the designated player today Eliza Goldman. Goldman swings and misses in the first pitch. Goldman comes in as the nine hitter. Falls behind 0-1 to Domestico. Top bottom of the Sorry, top of the second. Domestico another pitch. Foul tip strike two. Runner on second base. Clockers with a three nothing lead here. And Bella after that, you know, first walk the lead off walk, she usually settles in nicely.
