The storm water basin at the head of the Stone Field estates development has been retaining 6-18 inches of water on a regular basis for the last 18 months. In a recent meeting with the City Planning board; it was revealed that this will be the norm. The design calls for the basin to have water in it for up to 72 hours after precipitation.

I am in favor of 2 things:

1. I think the town should require a fence around the basin; commiserate with requirements for a swimming pool. This basin is a safety hazard.

2. I think the design should be altered to not retain water; because the standing water will attract mosquitoes.
