around the perimeter of the site, we have a chain link fence along this edge which will connect to the chain link fence along the the back. Um because it is a soccer field, there is a soccer fence that is required at the ends of these fields. Uh those are 20 foot high. Um and that would extend from here over to here and make a return to here. Elbero, as you recall, Madam Chair, was a uh a soccer player. So he was instrumental in uh those discussions. Uh at the opposite end of the field uh we have the same thing soccer netting here 20 foot high. Um they are proposing light fixtures at the corners of the uh the soccer fields. These lights uh fixtures are uh LED fixtures, night sky compliant um with these fixtures out at the street uh provided with light shale shields as not to shine onto the residences uh across the street.
Yep. Little high. Little high. Little high. She was trying to see if see if the if the batter would chase, but Didn't bite. Not a bad miss on 02 there. >> Not at all. She wouldn't go for the high one. Absolutely. One and two. I'm looking for Bella to just blow this one right by her here. Let's see if she does it. And in this case she does. She's giving another one looking. A backwards K for Bella D. And it is three strikeouts in the inning for Bella Domestico. Five on the day. No hits. No runs. One left on base for the Warriors. >> And even more impressive all three were looking. So, um again, she's dealing. She is dealing and that's what we talked about, right? Bella if nothing else is incredibly consistent. She's going to throw strikes. She had a couple walks so far, but she came back strong.
We're also proposing one light fixture out in the parking lot. There will be some ambient lighting uh from the street that's going to shine here. Uh as you know, it's an illuminated street. So, um, when we came up with this, the the the spillage out into the street is is very minor, and we'll look at that in a second. So, that's the layout materials plan. Now, the grading and drainage plan, pretty straightforward. Um, we do have our synthetic turf soccer field uh here around the edges of it out in here is going to be lomemed and seated. Again, the con this is area is going to maintain be maintained and protected. We are looking at a different type of storm water management system. So unlike before where we were looking at swailes on either side of the field because we have a paved system and we're proposing a buminous concrete curve, we need to capture the storm water runoff.
It's She's a She's a really mature freshman who is pitching like she's been doing it for for for years and she has been, right? She's been pitching at a high level. Bella's a high level club player. Uh she's been playing U18 over the summer as a as a freshman. I mean, playing up like that it gives you a lot of great experience. I I know she plays alongside Ava Vendetti. Uh and and they they have both got U18 reps as That's invaluable. >> who are probably actually eligible for U14. >> That's that's invaluable experience right there. Yeah. So, coming up in the bottom of the the the second inning for the Clockers, Holly Cashin who's playing right field today is going to lead off and then it gets us back to the top of the order. If Holly can get on for for Nico, love to see her get going and see if the Clockers can put a few more runs on the board as this day is going to get dark fast, I think.
So we have a double uh braid hooded uh deep sump catch basin here which is going to discharge into this storm water system which is a pipe and stone system. Uh we also have another catch basin at the other end of the parking lot. Both located in the low points which will also discharge into the system. As I said earlier, we've had the benefit with both the soils and the way we've graded the site as not to allow any storm water runoff to leave the site. There's no storm water volume leaving the site. There's no storm water run. So there's no increase. Everything's going right into the ground, which is good. It's groundwater recharge. This is what you want to do in development. So with that uh we do have the synthetic turf field. Um the synthetic turf field consists of a uh um again the synthetic turf um with a border uh to separate the grass from the synthetic turf uh to prevent uh it's it serves as a weed block.
We are here. Yeah, we >> Already at 5:40. Yeah, we need to work fast. We've got to work fast. We want to get this game in. It started incredibly late. Wayland had bus issues getting here. It seems to be the typical story for all the teams in in the Metro West region these days. Nobody can seem to get a bus to a game on time. Yep. But we do have Holly, Nico, and Ava up. So, Holly making her first at bat of this game. Seeing if she can lead off to help out her fellow pitcher Bella Domestico. Holly also pitches for the Clockers. She saw a lot of time in the circle last year as a freshman. Uh today she gets the start in right field. And it goes 3-0 Ashland going to the bottom of the second right now. Just to quickly set before we get the first pitch.
Um and then the uh under the synthetic turf field, we're going to have a foot of stone that's going to cover the entire area. Um that stone is going to serve as the drainage system. Um the from this we go into our utility plan. You had mentioned madam chair the uh or somebody I think it was you maybe mentioned the irrigation and and and that. So in this particular case here we are proposing a uh a water line for irrigation purposes. Um and that would only be for this area if they decide to install it. The likelihood of them installing it probably slim to none. But at least they making it active that is. But during construction, they're going to consider installing it, leaving it, capping it at the end, and then connected inside if they decide to ever use it. The same thing will apply to the underground electric.
Put it in play. >> Cashin takes the first pitch. Grounds it to third base and it is a good play by the third baseman DeJulio to throw out Cashin. Nice stretch by the first baseman, but Holly put your bat in the ball. That one's going to go down as 5-3 bringing up Nico Eustace who struck out [snorts] her first at bat today. Eustace takes the first pitch. Strike one. Ooh. Strike two to Eustace who falls behind the count 1-2. This happened to her in her first at bat as well. Was hoping Nico can battle back here and get herself on base. Right at the top of the box. Jeez, she's Hopefully she can put this one in play. >> Beckett deals to Eustace and it is a She might have run ground. >> ground ball to Nico. SAFE. OH. NICO NOT ABLE TO BEAT IT OUT.
What they're proposing here is the light poles may come after the fact. They may come up front, but they are going to provide electrical conduit around the entire perimeter. uh and and set it up to pull wire um if they decide to go with light poles. They're not exactly sure if they're going to do that. They don't know if they're going to have soccer play only during the day. So, that is still uh open uh at this point. Um that's it pretty much for utilities. Um and last one. Okay, so that that should pretty much do it uh for the site. The last thing we do have vehicle turning maneuvers. We've demonstrated that the fire apparatus can come into the site and exit the site from both direct directions directions either from the east or from the west making its way around the site uh to service any uh emergency situations.
>> a close play at first. Uh Nico always makes it close. Nice play by Beckett coming off the mound fast. Able to get a streaking Nico Eustace down the first baseline. Unfortunately, she was not quite fast enough. Uh that's two outs now for Ava Vendetti who grounded out to second base her first bat of the game. And then Bella on deck. Vendetti grounds one to first. Quick inning for the Warriors. Three unassisted. And we go down 1-2-3 in the second. No hits. No runs. Nobody left on base. It is going to be 3-0 Clockers going into the top of the third. Tough way to tough way to come back after a really good first inning. Not to get anything on the board, not even a base runner in the second. But got to be patient for these young Clockers. Hopefully they get the bats going in the third.
Um the last thing uh was the the photometrics plan. Um as you can see as as you know madam chair foot candle distribution is how this is measured. So looking at the front of the property, the area of most concern because this is a residential side of the property, although the residences are on the opposite side of the street. And like I said, there's ambient lighting along um that is cast under these properties from um uh Pleasant Street, but as you can see, these levels are fairly low. This is 2 foot candles. So essentially for anybody that on the board that may not be familiar with the terminology, a foot candle is the the the amount of light that one candle gives off at that location. In this case here it's 20% of the light given from one one candle. Um as you can see worst case is almost a candles worth of illumination um here uh not even making it onto uh onto the street.
Yes, absolutely. But we also want the game to move along a little bit. So, I think um Well, let's see what happens here in the in the top of the third for uh for the Wayland Warriors. They've got their top of the order coming up. Kira Hines the shortstop is going to lead off followed by Olivia Carmelowitz and Sophia Beckett. Um Hines and Beckett were both the victim of backwards Ks from Domestico in the first inning and Carmelowitz was one of Bella's two walks on the day. Uh so, none of these players have put the ball in play just yet. But we'll see what happens to start off this third inning. No lacrosse game today, Wayland. That's what brings you out here today? >> No, it's today for an away game. Oh, they do? >> It's an away game. So, um uh it was an earlier start.
um a little bit more outback. It's about one foot candle along the property line, but again this is an industrial building uh to the east. To the west again, Metro West Christian Academy uh and connect church in common ownership. Again, another commercial property. Um that I believe, Madam Chair, covers it for the presentation. I can give the board a real quick uh overview as to what this looks like in terms of how in in with respect to an area. So the aerial photo >> so this this shows the site in here the parking lot I was referring to the old gravel parking lot is in this area here access so this is an older actually no you can see it so egress from the site comes through here and out this way this is uh connect church as I said a combination of evergreens and and and uh deciduous mostly deciduous but the railroad tracks uh to the west to the the west And you can see the residential properties to the uh to the north and to the east.
So, um I think our home games the away games are depending on the start time. So, Okay. Um so, we'll see how their their their game is just underway. All right. We'll have to give a shout out to the the Ashland High School varsity lacrosse team uh at some point see if we can get a score on that one to let folks know. But we are back here at Hunt Field for the first pitch of the third inning which is dropped by a fan down the first baseline. Can't quite keep his hands on it. E fan. >> [laughter] >> And it is going to be a strike one on that foul ball. Now, if this was banana baseball, that that fan had caught the ball I would have been an out. 01 to the lead off hitter Kira Hines. Domestico deals. And it is a hot shot to first base.
We have this industrial use. This is uh this is the soccer field. This is basically what it's going to look like from the sky when it's done. You're going to have a parking lot. This is an older rendering, so please excuse that. This shows what we were looking at originally for the gravel. This will all be paved in here. So, this is what we're looking at with the uh proposed trees, the toten seed. Here is your soccer field. Um, as you can see, the traffic patterns are two-way out of the site and back in uh through Connect Church and in Metro West. This view here is a bird's eye view showing the soccer field, the proposed parking facilities uh and these views as viewed from the front walkway of each of the homes opposite the site. So, these are the vistas and and this is how it it presents itself.
>> Ruby Kazanjian. Ruby Kazanjian makes the play on the line shot right back at her. Great play by Kazanjian. Hot glove over there at first. And we've got one out in the top of the third. Score that one L3 for the line shot to first. Strike Oh, just a little bit outside. Looked good to me from my angle, but again this vantage point is not quite what That that Beland has behind the plate. >> That didn't look good as well to me. So, but called it a ball. One and oh to Olivia Camelo-witz. Swing and a miss. Foul ball. Foul ball. Foul tip on that one. Domenico gets back gets back even. I think that she should be oh two right now. I think her father agrees with me. I saw him give that nod of approval, but sometimes it just doesn't go our way.
This is one location from the the the property furthest to the north. Then as we move uh um I'm sorry, furthest to the east. As we move westward, this is what you're going to see. >> And all is said and done. >> Wayne, is the I I think I saw it in a few locations, but is the net um the fencing modeled in there? >> Yes. In fact, that's part of the challenge is trying to see it. Uh, it's in there. See that? See this in here? These little half looking. So, is there is there no um like there's the pole the poles, but there's no like bar at the top or a heavy. It's just it's very >> Yeah. Yeah. They kind of they they almost look like the screens at Fenway. not as not as loose, but that's how they and and then when we do the fly the fly over, I think you'll be able to see it uh more clearly.
One and one's the count. Domenico deals. Change up goes on the ground. We've got two and one to Olivia Camelo-witz. Camelo-witz did work a walk her first time up. Let's see if Bella has better luck this time. Three and one is the count. You know, it's it's it's tough sometimes for these young pitchers to lose a first pitch when you think it's a strike. You lose it You got to be able to shake that off. You got >> block it out. Just wait Just throw your next pitch. >> But it's it's You have to think it it impacts her a little bit. You got a long shot here. Oh, it's in the gap. She goes She chases it down. She tracks it down. Mis-handles it. >> But she's rounding second. She's descending into third. Might be a play at third. Cuts off. So, that's a gap hit.
Um so that's that's this guy. Then we continue. And so this is the new entrance. Uh so going into the site, coming out so they'll have an opportunity to turn right or go straight into the site. As you can see, uh already occupied by vehicles, so there's something going on. And then we have the Metro West, the Connect Church uh recreational fields here. I think it would be bene beneficial. This is basically what we're looking at for trees, proposed trees. Uh red maples and American basswood. Uh this is the existing sign. This is our proposed sign. Um and then looking at the the fencing. There is a cable that runs along the top. So it's not as loosey goosey as as Fenway uh uh or as expensive. I was would imagine, but it is, you know, it's again, it's kind of a loose stop. It has a little bit of give to it.
It was mis-handled a little bit in the outfield by Eustace. I think they could have held them to second. >> Yep. But we'll We're going to put that down in the in the score book as a double. Um I'm going to put that in my book. I'm going to put that as a double with an E8 that caused her to get to to third. I think that's fair. Would you say, Wayman? >> that's fair. I mean, that ball was in the gap. Nico Nico with all her speed did chase it down, but there was a little bit of a bobble and it allowed the player to uh get to third. So. >> So, we get a runner on third base for Sophia Beckett, the pitcher. Good luck. >> stops that one uh to avoid any potential damage on a wild pitch. So, we'll see how Bella comes back here.
