7:00 – 7:15pm – Bruce Slater regarding a pizza oven at Slater’s (formerly known as Greet Brook Farms):
  • Bruce Slater appeared before the Board to obtain approval to install a pizza oven.
  • Three issues: increase length of leach lines, tank upgrade, outside grease trap.
  • B. Brookings explained that there is currently seating allowed for 16 people and Bridgette Braley is concerned that adding more food will increase the amount of grease produced in the kitchen.
  • B. Slater explained that they cut down on their hours and they are using the system less. The cost is too high in this economy to upgrade the system at this time. He is buying the pizza dough, not making it on the premises.
  • The original permit was issued for a 5 bedroom residence, not a food service establishment.
  • C. Slade stated that right now B. Slater is not in compliance with Title 5 and he is asking that B. Slater at least meet one of the three requirements now and the Board will give him the time to do the other two.
  • C. Rogers asked if the internal grease trap counts for anything. B. Brookings stated no, Title 5 only deals with the foundation out.
  • Board agreed that B. Slater can have until May 15, 2012 to install the external grease trap and can start using the pizza oven immediately.
  • Once the business grows, B. Slater will have to increase his tank size to support the growth and add length in the leach lines.
  • M. Carlisle to send letter.
C. Rogers moved to adjourn at 8:00pm, C. Slade 2nd. All in favor 2/0.
