OTHER BUSINESS
Ken Gikas (Region II Consultant) – Mr. Gikas attended to update the Board. He said he had visited the EDS site with Dennis. They are continuing the process of developing the EDS plan. He also stated that fourteen towns have signed on to the Mutual Aid Agreement, which the Town of Boylston still has under review. Mr. Gikas explained to the Board the state model that they are using to simulate the activation of the EDS site which would be initiated by the Board of Health. It is a five-day event, with Day 1 being activation; Days 2&3 distributing and vaccinating at the EDS site (at least 80% of the population); Day 4 searching out the remaining population to be vaccinated; and Day 5 finishing (debriefing). He said that reverse 911 for notification is near completion.
Dennis will fill out the equipment list request and forward it to Ken.
Quinn Engineering (Food Service at 81 Shrewsbury Street) – Kevin Quinn, Frank & Matthew Tomaiolo were in attendance. Frank & Matthew are the builders and would like to include a take out pizza/sandwich shop as one of their tenants. On March 27, 2007, the plans for 81 Shrewsbury Street were approved for commercial office space only, not approved for any type of food service. Mr. Quinn said that Title 5 does not give guidance beyond restaurant. He explained to the Board a conservative comparison using Shrewsbury Pizzeria. Dennis said he would like to see 1000 gallons per day which would meet the needs of the mixed use building including restaurant/food service. Because they are in a nitrogen sensitive area (Zone 2) they would need to be in compliance with 310 CMR 15.216 “Aggregation of Flows and Nitrogen Loading”, which will include some type of conservation restriction. Dennis suggested they obtain a piece of land to meet the state requirements. Mr. Quinn will do further
research and inform the Board.
